Lingbian Territory, north of Qianhan Continent.

This territory is far away from the central continent, and most of the cultivation is martial arts. There are few sects standing in this territory.

Compared with the balance of martial arts and immortals in other regions, Lingbian Territory is a place where martial arts overwhelm immortals.

There are many dynasties, big and small, and wars are endless.

Therefore, Lingbian Territory is verbally called the Land of Four Wars by many people.

Years of war have made the people miserable and living in dire straits.

Whenever there is a fatuous and unjust emperor in a place, the people will live in misery and their lives will be as thin as paper.

This is a world of cultivation, where warriors can break the sky with their fists and immortals travel the universe.

There are really few wise emperors who really care about the people.

Jicheng.

After a day and a night, Jiang Zhi, Si Xun and others came to such a city.

This Jicheng belongs to a city called Jishangchao.

Just looking at the tall city wall from outside the city, many people would think that this is a big city, and a prosperous city.

Si Xun thought so at first, but when he really entered the city, he could not see anything related to the word "prosperous" in his vision.

The buildings in the city are old, as if they were simply repaired after experiencing war many years ago.

Some of the dilapidated buildings are even missing many tiles, which are filled with wooden boards or hay to prevent water from seeping into the house during rainy days.

There are many houses whose walls are patched with mud.

Looking at the people in this city, they are all wearing clothes made of rough linen, with sallow faces and thin bodies, as if they are not full.

On the street, there are elderly people squatting in the corner, like the sun about to set.

Si Xun walked on the street and heard passers-by talking about the reasons for these elderly people.

There is no food at home, they are driven out of their families because they are old and have no labor force, or they are afraid of dragging down their children and come out to fend for themselves.

Not long after walking down the street, Si Xun saw many children being sold on both sides of the street.

These young men, some of whom were not yet fully grown, were still small, and had price tags hanging around their necks like commodities.

They cried and begged their mothers not to sell them.

Some men seemed to have accepted their fate, silently wiping their red eyes. Although they did not say a word, they would tremble slightly whenever someone came to bargain.

They were afraid that they would really be bought, and they were also afraid of the unknown future life they would face after being bought.

It was hard to imagine that such things would happen in this big city.

"This world is really not a human, and life is not a life." Si Xun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Because he could be said to have felt the same way.

How much better was he than those who were about to be sold?

"Brother, help me."

Just when Si Xun was calm and a little emotional, a voice beside him made him look.

This was a little girl, her face was covered with dust, and she was wearing a long linen coat that didn't fit her.

She knelt on the side of the street, and there were four crooked characters written on the ground with black charcoal.

Selling herself to bury her father.

This little girl looked only six or seven years old, with a thin body, and it was obvious that she often didn't have enough food.

At this moment, she looked very tired, as if she would faint in the next second.

"Help me, I have the strength...After I bury my father, I will help my brother fetch firewood and pour water for the rest of my life." The little girl looked at the beautifully dressed boy and lowered her head and spoke.

This short sentence seemed to have exhausted all her courage to say.

In this world where women are superior, who would care about such a little girl?

The boy can warm the bed after he grows up, but what can this little girl do?

If you want hard labor, just find a young and strong one.

Because of this, the little girl knelt here for nearly a day and a night and no one paid attention to her.

"What's your name?" Si Xun squatted down slightly, and smiled softly.

The boy was charming, even if this smile was not deliberately charming, but the charm of nature could not be hidden.

The little girl bowed her head again.

She swore that this was the best-looking big brother she had ever seen since she grew up.

"My name... My name is Yu Hu, but they all call me Little Wine Pot."

"When my mother was alive, she liked to drink, and every time I went to get wine with a wine pot, so everyone I knew called me Little Wine Pot."

"Little Wine Pot, um, a nice name, but don't drink when you grow up, brother, I have seen that there are many women who go crazy and beat their husbands because of drinking." The boy said with a smile, as if he was teasing her, but also telling the truth.

"Yeah." The little girl nodded, but her head was still lowered.

"So good." The young man smiled, took out fifty silver coins and placed them in front of her, and rubbed the girl's head before leaving.

The little girl was shocked when she saw the fifty silver coins in front of her.

She had never seen so much money before, and she raised her head to tell the boy that she didn't need so much, but when she looked, the boy's back had already gone far away.

"Thank you." Tears rolled in the little girl's eyes, and after a long time she bowed in the direction where the boy left.

Si Xun didn't know that his small action today would lead to the emergence of a talented warrior who would be famous in Lingbianyu in the future.

This woman was first a general, and then a martial arts master.

During his time as a general, soldiers in the army said that they had an invincible general, but this general never drank alcohol. Whether it was a celebration banquet or anything else, the general would serve tea.

Therefore, soldiers in the army called this general the general who forbade alcohol!

It was said that the emperor wanted to grant him a marriage and wanted to marry the beautiful fifth prince to him, but the general refused because he had someone else in his heart.

She did not accept the emperor's marriage, and because her merits were greater than the emperor, the court would not tolerate her.

This is how she later cultivated martial arts.

After a round in the city, Si Xun planned to go back.

On the way back, he saw Meng Xiao and Xia Yixin doing good deeds.

Xia Yixin's eyes were a little wet, as if he felt pity for the scene in the city.

It can only be said that she grew up carefree under the protection of her mother and father, and had never seen the cruelty and helplessness of the world.

"Madam." Meng Xiao saw the young man and walked forward to pay his respects.

"Miss, you are too polite. Your young master hasn't married me yet, so there is no need to call me that." Si Xun's beautiful face was filled with a charming smile, and her foxy eyes raised her eyelashes to the air above her head without leaving a trace.

"This..." Meng Xiao was speechless for a moment.

"You call me Young Madam, but it's not worthy of the name. It also makes me sad. If my wife could have half the feelings you have for Young Master Xia, I wouldn't dare to think or say it."

"This little fox." In the air, Jiang Zhi, who had come here at some point after breaking through her cultivation, saw the tone of complaint from her little fox, and she instantly wanted to take the little fox back home and let him choke and speak unclearly.

There is no doubt that the boy knew that she was his wife.

These words were praising Meng Xiao on the surface, but they were actually spoken to herself.
