Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Seeing this scene, everyone in the car looked forward curiously.

Wu Xiu Lian even put her arm around Qian and spoke nervously.

"Mom, look at that man, he has a knife!"

Following Wu Xiulian's words, Lu You focused his attention and looked towards the young man in white.

Sure enough, on the right hand side of the young man in white, a straight knife about three feet long was resting on the horse's leg.

Although the blade had not been unsheathed, it made everyone in the car nervous.

The Wu Dynasty established its country through military force, but that was at the beginning of the dynasty.

After the country was established, emphasis was placed on civil governance. As for warriors, although they were not banned, the Wu Dynasty had its own unique method of banning swords.

According to the military law, whether one is a sect disciple or an official or a noble, if one wants to carry a sword in the market, he must first be registered as a sword master.

To put it simply, it means registering your weapons so that it will be easier to track down if a murder occurs.

This has a similar effect to the 21st century's knife control law.

It is said that when you hold a weapon, the desire to kill arises!

It is said that in the early days of the Wu Dynasty, before the new policies were implemented, ordinary people were allowed to carry weapons. Occasional frictions and disputes would lead to tragedies, and there were countless incidents of burning, killing and looting in various places.

There are no cameras in this era. If you don’t like someone during the day, you can find a secluded corner at night and suddenly kill them with a knife. No one will be able to find out who did it.

It was precisely because of this that the founding emperor of the Wu Dynasty established the law of swordsmanship.

Except for military soldiers and officers, anyone else who wants to carry a knife needs to pay an expensive knife registration fee every year.

This made ordinary people sigh and no longer dare to take swords out of their homes.

It can be said that the law of swords plays a decisive role in social stability.

More than sixty years have passed since the sword method was passed down to today.

During this period, the Wu Dynasty issued many decrees and laws, which greatly improved the lives of the people compared to before.

Although it is not yet rich, it can be considered peaceful.

This is how ordinary people are. As long as they can make a living, even if they are a little poor, no one will rebel or cause trouble.

In addition, ironware has always been controlled by the imperial court, and its price remains high.

Over time, the swords in the hands of the people had long been sold or melted into farm tools such as kitchen knives and pickaxes.

Even those that survived had mostly been corroded into rotten iron over the decades, and the common people had long since stopped using weapons.

Now suddenly a man with a knife appears to block the road. Anyone would be nervous.

"Look at the strong clothes that person is wearing. He is not an official or a soldier."

Just when everyone in the car was nervous, Lu Yi spoke calmly.

"Our Jianhe County is a remote small county, and I have never heard of any major sects."

“As for the rich and powerful traveling, it is impossible for them to come to this remote mountain road.”

"It seems... that man is a bandit or a vagrant. We are going to die here!"

As Lu Yi finished speaking, Wu Xiu Lian was so frightened that she screamed, jumped out of the car and ran into the woods nearby.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yi's mouth curled up slightly and he shouted again.

"The woods on both sides may be full of ambushing bandits! The faster you run, the faster you die!!"

Hearing Lu Yi's shout, Wu Xiu Lian, who had already run into the woods, screamed again, then ran towards the donkey cart at a faster speed and threw herself into Qian's arms.

"Mom!! I don't want to die yet!!"

Wu Xiulian was so frightened that she burst into tears and her whole body was shaking like a sieve.

At this time, Qian was so frightened that she was a little dazed. She could only hug her daughter-in-law with a pale face and kept looking towards both sides of the mountain road.

Seeing the Qian mother-in-law and daughter-in-law being so frightened, Lu You slowly turned around, raised his hand without any hesitation and shouted at Lu Yi's head.

Snapped! !

[Negative emotions from Lu Yi +50, +50, +50...]

After being slapped for no reason, the corners of Lu Yi's mouth suddenly dropped, and his eyes, which were originally full of amusement, instantly lost their color.

Looking at Lu Yi's indifferent look, Lu You felt a lump in his chest.

Why didn’t I realize before that this kid, who usually looks so serious, actually has such a bad taste!

At this time, the donkey cart had been more than ten miles away from the village and was parked in a place where there was no village or shop nearby, which made people feel a little uneasy.

Coupled with Lu Yi's exaggerated analysis, even Lu You really believed that he was attacked by bandits.

If I hadn't seen the teasing look in Lu Yi's eyes, I would have been frightened by this kid!

"Wait till we get home and see how I deal with you!"

Lu You said in a low voice, then stood up and jumped off the donkey cart, walking towards Uncle Li and the young man in white.

"Deer, be careful!!"

Seeing Lu You getting off the car, Widow Zhou couldn't help but remind him.

But Lu You waved his hand casually, walked straight to Uncle Li's side and squatted down.

With the system, Lu You can detect all malicious intentions towards him within ten meters.

But from the time the car stopped until now, except for Lu Yi, the system did not detect any negative emotions, which was enough to prove that the young man in white was definitely not a bad person. So what was there to worry about?

"What's wrong with Erniu's wife? Why is she crying and making a fuss all of a sudden?"

Uncle Li turned his head and looked at the donkey cart and asked in confusion.

Upon hearing this, Lu You looked back and then shook his head innocently.

"I don't know, maybe... he's possessed?"

Uncle Li: “…………”

Young man in white: “…………”

Looking at the horse lying on the ground, Lu You reached out and poked the horse's belly.

"Uncle Li, what happened to the horse? Did it fall asleep?"

Uncle Li: “…………”

Young man in white: “…………”

[Negative emotions from Zuo Yunfeng +20, +20, +20...]

Zuo Yunfeng?

Lu You's heart moved slightly, it seemed that this should be the name of the young man in white.

“Uh…” Zuo Yunfeng groaned and spoke slowly: “My lady, horses usually don’t lie down to sleep!”

Upon hearing this, Lu You turned around and looked at Zuo Yunfeng's face carefully.

Who would have thought that just one glance would make Lu You's heart tremble.

It’s true that Zuo Yunfeng is too handsome!

He had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and facial features that seemed to be carefully carved, especially the gleam of brilliance that occasionally flashed in his eyes, which was even more captivating.

Lu You had never thought that sharp, sunny, lazy, these completely unrelated words could be embodied in one person at the same time.

Looking at Zuo Yunfeng's lively eyes, Lu You was actually a little dazed for a moment!

But at this moment, the cold mechanical voice in my mind rang again.

[Negative emotions from Zuo Yunfeng +100, +100, +100...]

The system's prompt sound immediately perked up Lu You and he woke up instantly.

Looking at Zuo Yunfeng in front of him, Lu You frowned slightly.

What’s the situation with this guy named Zuo?

I just looked at him twice more, why do you have such a strong resentment towards him?

He looks quite handsome, but why is he so petty?
