Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 62 Xiao Yan's Ambition

Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo came to the village.I entered the village too late last night, and didn't take a closer look at the situation in the village.

As soon as she went out, Shen Yuexi was stunned by everything in front of her eyes.

The trees on both sides of the path stood listlessly on both sides as if they had been scorched.The leaves above have long since lost moisture and rolled up.

It was originally August, and even though the temperature in the Northwest had dropped earlier, it would not be so fast, like late autumn, with remnants of red dancing wildly and desolation everywhere.

Even the ground on the ground was rolled up, Shen Yuexi turned her head and asked Yang Cong: "What's going on here?"

Xiao Zhuo also glanced around, but his eyes were indifferent, as if he already knew all this.

That's right, he went out yesterday, so he can feel it clearly here.

"It hasn't rained here for three months, and now it's the autumn harvest, and everyone has nothing to harvest." Yang Cong's dark face showed a trace of sadness.

Thinking of being kicked out of the house, part of the reason is here.

Shen Yuexi's heart sank after hearing this.Xiao Zhuo's subordinates will arrive in two days, and now the place is barren, not even a root of grass grows, so what will so many people rely on to survive?
Xiao Zhuo also seemed to have thought of this question, took her hand, and slowly stood side by side with Shen Yuexi, he comforted and said: "The mountain near the border of Xirong has water, so there is no need to worry."

She nodded knowingly, but when she heard about the mountain Xiao Zhuo mentioned, she became interested again.

The Universal Manufacturing Machine hasn't been used for a long time, maybe there are a lot of materials to be dug out of that mountain.

Shen Yuexi looked at Xiao Zhuo with a smile, and Xiao Zhuo's shadow was reflected in her clear eyes.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Zhuo's mouth.

Shen Yuexi rolled her clear eyes, and her voice was clear and transcendent: "Then next time you take me to that mountain together, okay?"

When the time comes to find good materials, make new things out, and earn money, she can generously share half of it with him.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

Shen Yuexi's misty smile was as dazzling as the spring sunshine.

Xiao Zhuo's eyes as deep as the sea, if they can hold full of tenderness.

Suddenly, as if he wanted to tease her, he stretched out a hand and flicked it on her forehead. Seeing this, Shen Yuexi immediately covered her forehead, and quickly moved away from him.

Seeing this, Yang Cong behind him burst out laughing.

The couple is also really funny.

Mr. Pei looks cold and dignified, which makes people dare not make mistakes, and unknowingly makes people surrender.

Such a serious person would actually do such a thing in order to make his wife happy.

It seems that Mr. Pei loves Mrs. Pei very much.

Shen Yuexi didn't expect Xiao Zhuo to behave like this, it really didn't match his previous appearance.

Xiao Zhuo walked over quickly, continued to hold her hand, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't run around on the mountain."

Of course, she didn't know that not only was it so close to Xirong, but there were probably dangerous beasts there as well.

She regretted her life very much.

"Of course, I'm just looking for something." Shen Yuexi almost jumped up with joy when she thought that she would make money soon.

Xiao Zhuo looked at her, shook his head involuntarily, and followed her helplessly.

In the farmhouses on both sides of the road, villagers with nothing to do sat in twos and threes. When they saw two people, some would come up to say hello, while others looked at them with strange faces.

On the other hand, Yang Cong, who was following behind, was originally from the village. He had heard that he was captured by the Xirong people, but now he saw that he had returned, and he looked at Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi differently.

Shen Yuexi saw that everyone looked malnourished, their complexion was sallow, and their spirits were a little weak, so she asked, "Yang Cong, what do you all rely on for a living?"

There hasn't been a drop of rain in the past three months, and the grain has not been harvested. She really can't imagine how the people here survive.

"What else can I rely on?" She scratched her hair that hadn't been washed for a long time and said, "There are young people with good physical strength in the family, so they have to take risks to find food and drink on the mountain."

After speaking, Yang Cong sighed.

Everyone is having a hard time now.

She walked and looked around. Some children looked seven or eight years old, their clothes were worn out, a few pieces of rags were hanging on their bodies, and they were playing on the side of the road with bare feet.

"Some young people in the family went to the town to find some jobs to help their families." Yang Cong followed Shen Yuexi's gaze, and then he went to introduce the situation of the village to her.

"Now that the drought in the village is so severe, does the government not care about it?"

But after asking, she remembered.The imperial court didn't even care about the looting of Xirong, let alone the drought.It is clear that the people outside the pass are to fend for themselves.

Xiao Zhuo pursed his thin lips tightly, his expression was handsome and cold, and his voice was cold: "I have been stationed in the frontier against Beidi since I was 16 years old, and I rarely participated in court affairs."

Only then did Shen Yuexi realize that since the age of 16, Xiao Zhuo had avoided going to the capital because of the emperor's suspicion.I'm afraid Xiao Zhuo knows everything about the capital, but since the emperor is in control, it's hard for him to do anything.

"Husband," she asked puzzledly, "is Dayan planning to take this barren land?"

She felt that Dayan Dynasty didn't intend to have this place where nothing shit happened, otherwise there wouldn't even be a garrison, so it was obvious that it would be given over to the Xirong people.

It's no wonder that those Xirong people crossed the border to plunder without fear, and never received any punishment.

Xiao Zhuo's face was gloomy, obviously he did not agree with Dayan Chao's approach.There was a killing light in his eyes, looking at Shen Yuexi, he said slowly in a calm voice: "A barren land is not a land without an owner. Since the imperial court no longer wants this place, I, Xiao Zhuo, want it."

He didn't hide his gaze at all, and showed Shen Yuexi naked.

Shocked by his words, Shen Yuexi couldn't recover for a long time.

She originally thought that Xiao Zhuo chose to come here only to avoid the emperor's pursuit, but unexpectedly, he had already planned it out.

At the beginning, on the road of exile, he actually didn't intend to escape.

Doesn't everything I do look like a joke?
"Yuexi," he seemed to see her helplessness, "although coming here is my purpose, but I don't intend to just sit here and wait for death."

She just said, with that kind of difficult conditions, those who can go to the frontier will not die or be disabled.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhuo had already planned to run away.

The world is so big, but there is no place for him to stay, so he can only come to this unowned land and fight to create his own world.

This is the determination to put it to death and start all over again.

Shen Yuexi heard that there was an incomparable domineering hidden in his flat tone.

Wanting Xiao Zhuo to let him go, it's just a momentary pleasure.

Xiao Zhuo is such an arrogant person, how can he be willing to be inferior to others.

It's just that she didn't expect Xiao Zhuo to tell her her true thoughts.

"Why, are you scared?" Xiao Zhuo glanced at Shen Yuexi, "It's a pity that it's already too late. If you get on my boat, you won't have a chance to get off."
