I am also waiting for the hero to usurp the throne today [Transmigration Book]

The northeastern part of the Di dynasty is dominated by plains, and further east is the dangerous mountain range, which is rarely visited by people.

There are mountains as a natural line of defense. Although the distance from the country is not too far, the Northeast region is still free from the invasion and interference of the country.

In the previous dynasty, the Tower of Sacrifice to Heaven was set up on the highest Yuanshan Mountain to convey the emperor's will to touch the heavens.

It's just that in the previous dynasty, every time they offered sacrifices to heaven, they had to leave from the capital. The mighty group of people traveled for several months, and the midway counties and counties were miserable to welcome the emperor's sacrifices to heaven.After the Di Dynasty was established, the place of offering sacrifices to heaven was changed to the outskirts of the capital, and the tower of offering sacrifices to heaven on Yuanshan was abolished.

Starting from the capital city to Yuanshan, you have to pass through three or four counties, which is a long journey.

The black cat took Li Jinyu away from the capital, ran all night, and stopped in a small town.

Li Jinyu was on the back of the black cat, like a piece of cake on top of a big pile of black-faced steamed buns. He raised his head curiously: "Why did you stop?"

The black cat snorted: "You don't think we're going to Yuanshan, do you?"

"...Ah, isn't it?"

"There is a carriage to rent, why do you have to run by yourself?" The black cat shook Li Jinyu off his back, "Let's rent a carriage."

Li Jinyu rolled on the ground, shaking his head in a daze: "How do we rent a car like this?"

The black cat didn't answer, and stretched its body on the spot, and then a black light flashed, turning into a human appearance on the spot.

This was the first time Li Jinyu saw the black cat in human form.

Different from Ye Chengxiang's ordinary face in his early 30s, the human form of the black cat looks only about sixteen or seventeen years old, with short black hair, youthful appearance, unruly and handsome, and a pair of green eyes like the cat's; Thin figure, slender legs, very flexible at first glance.

Li Jinyu looked a little silly, until he was picked up from the ground by the black cat, he asked a little uncertainly: "Big fat?"

The boy narrowed his eyes, and his tone was a little threatening: "If you call that again, I will crush you to death."

Li Jinyu has been with the black cat for so long, and he has long known the arrogant characteristics of the black cat with a sharp mouth and a tofu heart. He ignored him and asked curiously: "How did you become a human? Didn't you lose all your mana?"

"Of course I'll come back soon after re-cultivation." The young man snorted and said sarcastically, "I'm practicing every day when I have nothing to do. What are you doing?"

Li Jinyu: "...I'm dealing with government affairs."

"That's why I didn't care about things after I became the prime minister. It would be nice to just concentrate on enjoying myself." The young man curled his lips, "Stop talking nonsense, let's rent a car."

"Are you sure you want to go like this?" Li Jinyu looked at the cat ears on the boy's head and the long tail behind his buttocks, "Will you not be beaten out?"

"Save some spiritual power, I don't last long in human form. I'll put it away when I meet people."

Li Jinyu: "..."

Seeing that the black cat was so confident just now, he thought that the black cat had turned back into the big monster who called the wind and rain. It turned out to be similar to him, and he was still a little fairy who had to save his spiritual power.

With a doll, it was easy to do things, and the black cat quickly rented a carriage in the town, bought a lot of food, and paid a lot of money generously.

Li Jinyu lay on the black cat's shoulder and asked softly, "Where did you get the money?"

"Changed out."

Li Jinyu: "...Is this not very good?"

"Don't worry." The boy's lips hooked slightly, with a cool smile, "Wait and see."

At night, Li Jinyu was crouching in the carriage, gnawing happily on a piece of yellow rice cake, when he suddenly heard soft footsteps, as if someone was approaching on tiptoe.

Hamsters have relatively sensitive hearing. Li Jinyu raised his head vigilantly. Just as he was about to remind the black cat, he saw that the black cat lying on the carpet in the carriage quickly turned into a human shape, with its ears and tail closed. It lay there motionless, looking similar to Almost fell asleep.

The door of the carriage opened silently, and the honest and honest face of the coachman seemed to be full of viciousness now, holding a sharp knife in his hand, he stabbed down at the black cat boy lying in the carriage.

The sharp knife stopped suddenly when it touched the body of the black cat, and then the boy sat up, opened his eyes, his green eyes stared at the coachman who was trying to kill him, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I just happened to be hungry."

The coachman looked in horror at the apparently weak and harmless boy with two cat ears on his head, long teeth in his mouth, and cat pupils. He was so frightened that he almost lost his wits. Rolling and scrambling to escape, running almost faster than his horse, only his mournful cry could be heard in the night.

"There are monsters—"

Li Jinyu finally saw a scene in Journey to the West in real life. He forgot to eat the yellow rice cake in his arms. After a while, he looked at the black cat that had turned back into a cat form.

The black cat raised its chin: "Now you don't have to worry about the money being fake, right?"

The man was so frightened that he didn't even want his cart and horse, and he really didn't have to worry about money.

Li Jinyu: "...how do you know he's plotting something wrong?"

"I've seen this kind of malicious human beings a lot." The black cat sneered, and gave a slight "bah", "Selfish, greedy, vicious, wanting to kill for a little money, no matter what time Rare."

Li Jinyu was silent.

"I've always been a little curious, how lucky are you that you haven't met such a disgusting guy?" The black cat's eyes suddenly turned to Li Jinyu, his green eyes didn't blink, and there was a faint sneer in his mouth, "You Don't tell me that you, Bai Lian, feel that they can also sympathize and understand."

"Uh, that's not true." Li Jinyu scratched his ears with his hind paw, and thought for a while, "Actually, I have also met owners who treat hamsters badly and just keep them for a while and don't care about life or death. For them, maybe A hamster is a moving toy, right? Because hamsters are cheaper than cats and dogs, they don’t care if they die.”

"Can you bear this?"

"Well, I'm a little angry when I encounter it, but usually I just pretend to be dead and go back to the pet shop to wait for the next owner." Li Jinyu hesitated for a moment, and whispered his thoughts, "The love of our hamsters is not very high... And I think meeting bad people is already very bad, if you keep thinking about bad people, wouldn't it be even worse?"

"And it's not that I haven't met a good breeder. When I became a sperm, the breeder was a very gentle person, who raised me very patiently and carefully." Li Jinyu thought about it, and added deliberately, "His family opened a dessert shop. Yes, sometimes I will share a little bit for me to taste, it is delicious."

The black cat stared at him for a while, then suddenly said, "Do you know what happened to the humans who broke my legs and threw me into the wild?"

Li Jinyu felt his leg hurt when he heard it: "Did you eat him?"

"I'm afraid of diarrhea after eating him." The black cat made a disgusting movement, "After I became a sperm, the first thing I did when I went back was to break his legs, and then threw him into a deserted ravine, watching helplessly. He crawled on the spot until he starved to death. I wouldn’t care even if there was a crime of killing—who knows what will happen in the future, what’s the point of living in a hurry?”

Li Jinyu shrank his neck in fright.

Li Jinyu was not surprised by the result of the black cat's temperament of vengeance.As long as the black cat does not affect him and the people he cares about, Li Jinyu will not interfere with the black cat's values.

But he was also a little worried for this fellow.

It's fine if you don't practice, since you have embarked on the demon path, killing will be burdened with evil obstacles, and it will become extremely difficult to cross the catastrophe.

The black cat was so powerful back then, wasn't it smashed into this world by a catastrophe?

but……

"According to what you said, why didn't you just kill that person directly?"

The black cat paused slightly, then raised its head: "For the sake of the horse and cart he provided, spare his life."

Li Jinyu didn't believe this reason.He had a rare moment of wit, and tentatively looked at the black cat: "Is it because of the late bell?"

The black cat narrowed its eyes, and its tone became a little gloomy: "What does it have to do with him?"

Today's Chi Zhongming has not experienced the tragedy of family ruin and death in the original book, and maintains a cheerful and sunny nature, and seems to be completely different from the murderous goblin.

But Chi Zhongming just likes black cats.

Li Jinyu found that he had been gradually changing since time travel - Huo Caiyu was influencing him and changing him bit by bit.

He doesn't know whether his change is good or bad for a goblin, but at least for "Li Jinyu" himself, he likes himself very much.

Is it the same with black cats?

At the beginning, the black cat was full of disgust and rejection of human beings, because Prime Minister Ye directly killed Prime Minister Ye when he yelled "kill the evildoers" .

The black cat turned around twice, and suddenly felt a little irritable for some reason, so he gritted his teeth and changed the topic: "Speaking of which, I haven't settled the score with you yet."

Li Jinyu was stunned for a moment: "What account?"

"That "Longyang Secret Scripture" was stuffed into my cat's bed by you, right?" The black cat gritted its teeth and said, "Bastard! Are you trying to trick me on purpose?"

Li Jinyu felt a little guilty when he mentioned this matter.

When Huo Caiyu came back on New Year's Eve, he slept on the dragon bed for one night. When Li Jinyu realized that the "Longyang Secret Classic" was still under his pillow, he was impatient and hid the "popular science textbook" in the dark. In the cat's litter box.

Then put it behind me.

Then later in the palace coup, Chi Zhongming made the prince, and took back the black cat and everything that belonged to the prince, including the cat nest where the book was hidden.

If the black cat hadn't mentioned it, Li Jinyu would have almost forgotten about it.

He moved his ears in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I just planned to hide it temporarily, but I forgot... Didn't cause you any trouble?"

The black cat showed a fierce look at first, and almost wanted to bite this stupid hamster, but when it heard Li Jinyu's last question, the whole cat froze suddenly, and said stiffly: "Of course not."

"Why are you so angry without you?" Li Jinyu tilted his head, and suddenly jumped up, "Ah, you and Chi Zhongming—"

"Snapped!"

A pitch-black cat's paw stretched out and directly blocked the little hamster's mouth, accompanied by the black cat's exasperated voice: "Okay, don't talk anymore! Nothing happened between me and Chi Zhongming last night!"

Li Jinyu: "..."

Oh, and last night too.

Speaking of last night and "Longyang Secret Scripture", Li Jinyu couldn't help but recall the experience of "sleeping on the dragon bed" with Huo Caiyu last night, and his face blushed quietly.

The black cat didn't know what to think of, and slowly let go of its paw without making a sound.

After a while, the two elves looked at each other for a while, and suddenly lost interest in hurting each other.

The black cat jumped off the low table sullenly: "Go to sleep, I have to hurry tomorrow."

Li Jinyu found a relatively comfortable position on the low table and lay down.

It was not comfortable to lie on the rough wooden table of the carriage, and the spring night was a bit cold, which made Li Jinyu miss the soft dragon couch in the palace, and the warm Huo Caiyu.

It's a pity that now he is a little hamster no bigger than a palm... Li Jinyu thinks that there are not many people as perverted as Chi Zhongming who can kiss a black cat.

I don't know what Huo Caiyu is doing now - he left a note, so Huo Caiyu shouldn't be too worried, right?

Li Jinyu moved his legs, shrunk into a small dumpling, and yawned.

I really hope to solve my spiritual power problem quickly, and then hurry back to find Huo Caiyu...

……

Although neither Li Jinyu nor the black cat had ever ridden a horse or driven a chariot, they were elves after all, they could communicate directly with the horses, and they could command the chariot to move forward while sitting in the carriage.

The coachman ran so fast that he didn't even take his own baggage with him. There were still some silver taels in the baggage, which happened to be cheap for them.

When the black cat passes by a county town, it will turn into a human form and go in to buy food-it is a hedonist, and of course it is more willing to eat and drink if it has the conditions.

Li Jinyu's need for appetite is very low, as long as he has dry food, he is very satisfied.

Seeing that the black cat was about to stop as it passed by a village, he was a little anxious and couldn't help urging: "Are you so short of food?"

The black cat snorted, a little dissatisfied: "There are too few fish in these villages, and they can't be bought at all."

"Why?" Li Jinyu was a little puzzled, "I remember there are rivers and lakes here too?"

Going northeast from the capital is a large plain, which is almost the largest "granary" area in the entire Di dynasty.

Being able to form such a vast farmland naturally means that there is enough water for irrigation here.

Where there are rivers and lakes, there are corresponding fishery and animal husbandry industries.

It's not like you can't even buy a fish.

"It is said that the weather has been dry since the beginning of spring this year, and there has been no rain so far." The black cat frowned, and was extremely upset that there was no dried fish to eat. "The water levels in rivers and lakes have dropped, and there are not many fish."

Li Jinyu still cares about things that are closely related to people's lives.

He thought about it carefully, and found that since he came out of the capital and now, there are indeed very few rivers and lakes on the roadside.

From the looks of it, this year seems to be a bit dry.

Although Li Jinyu has never planted the land himself, the palace has basically been transformed into a large-scale planting base, and he also knows a lot of agricultural knowledge through his ears and eyes.

Spring rain is as expensive as oil.The water source at the beginning of spring is an important factor to ensure the smooth development of agriculture this year.

If it doesn't rain, farmers have to slog water from rivers or lakes—and risk falling water levels.

Li Jinyu couldn't help being a little worried: "Will this year's harvest be affected?"

"I have never planted land, how would I know?"

On the way, Li Jinyu leaned on the window of the carriage and looked out.

Looking outside, Li Jinyu was somewhat relieved.

The great plain to the northeast of the capital can become a large granary for all dynasties, so naturally it has already had its own system of risk response capabilities.

Water conservancy facilities such as canals, waterwheels, and storage lakes have been put into operation, and tender green seedlings have sprouted in the cultivated fields by the roadside.

It doesn't look like agriculture will be affected much for now.

In order to speed up their journey, they walked in a straight line-for the two elves, the wild environment was safer than the towns with many people.

When Li Jinyu was lying on the window watching, he somehow felt the surrounding scenery was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

He hesitated and turned back: "Big Fatty, what county are we in now?"

The black cat lazily said: "About Qingshui County."

It really is Qingshui County!

Li Jinyu was immediately excited.

Qingshui County was the place where he went out with Huo Caiyu last time, and it was also one of the few times when he acted alone.

For the first time in Qingshui County, he realized the meaning of responsibility, and for the first time out of his own will, he wanted to do something for the people struggling to survive in this land.

Now that he was going to the northeast, did he still have to go through Qingshui County?

Looking carefully, the string of scenery outside seems to be the place where he fled with Huo Caiyu in his arms after being hunted down by the moment!

Thinking of this incident, Li Jinyu glared at the black cat: "You sent the assassin who assassinated Huo Caiyu back then?"

Li Jinyu's heart ached when he thought of Huo Caiyu lying in front of him covered in blood.

The black cat rolled its eyes: "So what?"

His heart hurts!It's too expensive to raise a dead man!

It's been more than a year, and Li Jinyu didn't want to argue with the black cat, but just felt a little upset: "Don't hurt Huo Caiyu in the future."

"You might as well tell him not to hurt me." The black cat got angry when he mentioned this, "I don't know how long it will be until I practice enough to beat him!"

Now Li Jinyu felt comfortable.

His Huo Caiyu is the strongest!

Recalling the days when he and Huo Caiyu were on the road together, Li Jinyu jumped out of the window on a whim: "I want to go somewhere."

"I pissed myself on the window."

"...It's not peeing!" Li Jinyu said angrily, "When I came here, I passed by a small village. The people in that village are very nice. I want to visit again."

The black cat gave him a surprised look: "Aren't you in a hurry to go to Yuanshan?"

"Don't delay this moment, right?"

"If you're not in a hurry, feel free, anyway, I'm just with you."

Li Jinyu didn't believe the black cat's words.He has rescued the black cat for so long, and he and the black cat are usually annoyed or hurt each other. How could the black cat be so loving all of a sudden: "You just want to hide from Chi Zhongming?"

The black cat looked at the horse pulling the cart expressionlessly: "Go back to Beijing."

"..."

……

Relying on the memory of last year, I searched slowly, and found the small village in less than half a day.

Li Jinyu has been accumulating spiritual power these days, and this time he entered the village with ears and a tail.

With a turban wrapped around the head and the tail hidden in the clothes, it shouldn't be obvious.

I haven't seen them in a year, and the village is still about the same as last year, and it seems that there are a lot more people.

Li Jinyu still remembered the old man Zhang's house back then, and ran into it excitedly, and saw the old man basking in the sun at the door at a glance.

More than a year has passed, old man Zhang looks thinner again, but his complexion seems to be much better than before.

Seeing Li Jinyu, old man Zhang rubbed his eyes and was taken aback for a while before standing up in surprise: "Brother Li?"

"Long time no see." Li Jinyu said happily, "I'm passing by here and come to see how everyone is doing."

He looked up and found that the dilapidated gate of old man Zhang's house had been replaced with a new one. There were tall haystacks piled up at the gate, and some dried beans were hanging under the eaves. Homes are very different.

"Thanks to the little brother who helped us to punish the tax officer." Old man Zhang rubbed his hands happily, "We have a good harvest this year, and we don't have to pay so much tax..."

Before the words fell, a rough voice came from the house: "Father, are there any guests?"

Li Jinyu was taken aback.He remembered that old man Zhang's two sons were recruited by the army to become strong men?

"Thank you to the emperor, thank you to the regent... I heard that the imperial court re-inspected the army and released us young men who were dragged to become strong men." Old man Zhang mentioned this matter, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed a lot. "Finally, one came back, and the land at home has been planted."

"One came back?"

"My eldest son heard that he died in battle when he followed the general to the southwest." Old man Zhang didn't have much sadness on his face, only sighed and rejoiced, "But it's good that one can come back, one is good."

Li Jinyu estimated how long he could maintain his human form, so he rejected Old Man Zhang's proposal to stay overnight and eat, and only said hello to the villagers he had known at the beginning.

The scene when Li Jinyu and Huo Caiyu helped them drive out the tax officials was vivid, and everyone in the village was very grateful to him.

Li Jinyu also learned from the chatter that Lame Qian sent a letter back from someone, suggesting that school-age children in the village go to school. He could try his best to help contact the school and even pay for it.

Old man Zhang was hesitating whether to send his little grandson to school.

Mrs. Liu said with a smile when talking about Lame Qian, "That bastard is doing well now, and he even gave back the money for the chicken he stole back then."

Li Jinyu couldn't help laughing when he thought of the scene of grabbing the chicken with Qian Laizi.

Seeing that everyone is doing well, he also feels very happy.

It's just that he came here with Huo Caiyu at the beginning, but now he wants to share this joy with Huo Caiyu, but he is separated by such a long distance.

The villagers warmly invited Li Jinyu to their house, but after Li Jinyu refused, they enthusiastically wanted to give him something.

Li Jinyu lived in the palace and had everything he needed, and he didn't want to burden them, so he refused all of them, and only took a little bird made of straw rope by Zhang's grandson: "This is enough."

"Then next time the little brother comes back, we will have to stay a little longer." Old man Zhang felt a little regretful, "This year is so dry, otherwise there will be a lot of spring things for you, all of which are naturally grown, so it doesn't matter. "

Li Jinyu was about to leave, and casually said, "Isn't there an irrigation canal?"

"The fields are fine, but the fields will be very dry." Old man Zhang looked up at the sky, and suddenly sighed, a little worried, "I hope there will be no locust plague."
