The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

"From what you said, he will have a prosperous career in the later period?"

The old Taoist thought for a while and said, "Let's make a good relationship. This person has a great opportunity in his life. With his talent, if he can meet a wise ruler, the people of the world will benefit. Now the world is in chaos. There is a saying that there is no creation without destruction. Only when the rotten system and rules are broken and destroyed can a new system be reshaped. By then, he will definitely have a chance to rise. How can such a person be allowed to die here so easily?"

Seeing him staring at her with burning eyes, Xu Yao took two steps back: "What's that look in your eyes? Are you trying to hit on me? I'll be frank with you. I won't sacrifice myself, and I won't do the work for nothing. If you want me to do something, the price is not cheap."

The old man smiled meaningfully and didn't respond to her words. He just said that it was getting dark and asked her to get some food, have a good rest after dinner, and set off again tomorrow.

Xu Yao was surprised: "Why, you don't want me to escort them away?"

The old man didn't explain at all. Xu Yao was really fed up with his sophisticated tricks. He muttered to himself that maybe the old man himself didn't know what to do, so he was playing tricks here. That must be the case.

At night, Xu Yao made some dried meat for Ah Qing while cooking. Ah Qing was overjoyed to receive the dried meat and gave it to his master without hesitation.

Xu Yao saw that he was very loyal to He Jun, so he couldn't help but be curious. "Why are you so loyal to your master?"

Ah Qing is simple and honest. "My master saved my family's life. My parents were harmed by corrupt officials and almost lost their lives. My sister was almost sold to a brothel by that gang. I was desperate and asked for help from the adults. The adults found out the reason and did not hesitate to uphold justice for us. Even though they were implicated, they never complained about us.

Later, with the help of adults, my parents were able to return to their hometown, and my sister was able to successfully marry a good man. I will repay this kindness no matter what."

"So you followed your master here?"

Ah Qing nodded, thinking that this was all natural.

Xu Yao saw the simple brilliance of humanity in him, and was slightly moved for a moment.

She hadn't seen such a clean and clear look, one that was so grateful for many years. What a cute and clear little puppy.

"So what are your plans next?"

Ah Qing thought for a moment and said, "My master originally wanted to recover from his injuries and report the news, but now, according to the Immortal of the South Sea, the world is going to be in chaos and Bashan County has already fallen. Even if we rush to Bashan to report the news, it will be useless."

So Ah Qing was also very confused, not knowing what to do next, and just waiting for his master's instructions.

He would do whatever his master said anyway. In his eyes, his master would never harm him.

This sincere trust made Xu Yao a little envious.

Xu Yao changed the subject and asked about what was happening in Wanzhou City.

"How much do you know about what's going on in the city? I only heard people say that when the Beichen soldiers arrived, they started to massacre the people in the city and even ate people. Is that true?"

Ah Qing glanced in the direction of the house and muttered quietly: "Killing is true, but I have never seen cannibalism. However..."

"what?"

"I have secretly inquired about it. Almost all the people in the city who could escape have escaped. As for those who could not escape... there are many corpses hanging in Wanzhou City."

Ah Qing couldn't tell whether they were the citizens in the city or other people, but he knew that Beichen was very fierce, and even if the soldiers of the Great Zhou came to seize the territory, they still couldn't take it away.

The weakest were the soldiers in Dingnan. It was clearly their own territory, but they allowed two enemy countries to kill people on their territory, resulting in countless casualties.

When Ah Xing thought of this, he felt extremely resentful.

"The dog emperor favors his relatives, and Zhao has wolfish ambitions. He is not a good general to defend the city. If he had not been corrupt, reselling military equipment, and even exploiting the military households, the military households would not have disobeyed orders and fled when Beichen's troops arrived. The people in the city have no one to protect them, and some died and some were injured. It is simply a hell on earth."

Xu Yao also sighed with an old saying: when the country prospers, the people suffer; when the country perishes, the people also suffer.

After all, only a few people are happy in this world. Most of the time, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people.

Ah Qing added, "I heard that the general from Beichen is a demon who kills without blinking an eye. If he goes south, I'm afraid Bashan County will be the next dead city."

Ah Qing was filled with anxiety when he thought of this. Fear of death is the instinct of all people. Although he was loyal to his master and was willing to die for him, he also wanted to live well while he could.

Xu Yao patted his shoulder and told him not to be sad, saying that things would work out in the end. "Your master is very blessed. If you follow him closely, good things will come to you. A bright future will be waiting for you in the future."

Ah Qing thanked her for her comfort and smiled sweetly. Xu Yao suddenly thought of Pei Shuo.

Five years have passed, and she can hardly remember what Pei Shuo looks like.

But this smile is surprisingly similar to Pei Shuo's former smile.

Xu Yao sighed and shook his head, then turned around to find a place to rest.

On the second day, the old Taoist said goodbye to Mr. He Jun and said that he was going to Wanzhou City.

He Jun didn't understand why he had to go to Wanzhou City?

The old Taoist thought for a while and said that it was God who told him that the world would soon be in chaos and the Dingnan court would be destroyed.

A wise ruler will come and unify the world.

He only hopes that He Jun can protect himself, and that one day, when the people of the world need him, he can live well and bring welfare to the people.

He Jun's mood was very complicated. He was not sure whether what the Immortal of the South China Sea said would come true one day, but he had a vague feeling in his heart that the Dingnan court was doomed to perish.

Greedy and ignorant people are in power, only caring about their own happiness and not caring whether the people have enough food and clothing. What is the point of keeping such a court?

An idea gradually came to his mind. He bowed to the old Taoist priest and decided to take Ah Qing somewhere else today.

Before leaving, the old Taoist gave the two some silver and advised them not to go to Bashan, as the people there might be either Beichen or Da Zhou.

After both parties said goodbye, the old Taoist priest took Xu Yao and continued to move forward.

A few hours later, the master and disciple appeared in the woods.

Not far ahead is Wanzhou City.

This place is a cliff, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If there wasn't a traitor over there, how could Beichen have captured this city?

The master and his disciple sat on the hillside, looking at the city not far away.

From a distance, we can see that there are people patrolling there and the place is well guarded.

There was occasional smoke from cooking in the city, but it sounded more like soldiers making fires to cook than from ordinary people.

"What are we doing sitting here?" Xu Yao asked the old man puzzledly.
