I borrowed my brain from the Emperor

Chapter 42 Secret
  After the war, Qingya County was slowly recovering. Although the population was still very sparse, some people were already doing business on the streets. The sense of stability brought by the army has emboldened many people. People who had escaped before have come back one after another. It is more difficult to survive outside the city.

Bandits and wild beasts are all deadly dangers to ordinary people, let alone the houses left by their ancestors in the city. Although many houses were burned down, the title deeds remained.

You can eventually rebuild after enduring some hardships, and what the common people are best at is enduring hardships.

Chen Luo went out after finishing his breathing early in the morning.

When he found that he had no way to get in, he stopped wasting time in the village and was ready to find other ways. For example, Master Ma Laizi might have a way to find some better secrets.

This is also the only high-level warrior who has a relationship with him.

Although Ma Laizi is disabled, the people he knew in the past are definitely still alive. By connecting with others, a network of relationships is established, just like when his third uncle brought him to Master Ma to practice Kung Fu.

At first, Chen Luo was planning to go to Salt Lake County, but two days ago he received news that Ma Laizi and the others were back.

It’s not easy to get along in Salt Lake County either. Every city has its own local gangsters. As a foreign gang, the Shahu Gang encountered resistance from local gangs when it developed in the past. Although it barely gained a foothold, it wanted to feed so many people. It's still a bit difficult.

This time is difficult for all those who have passed. After hearing the policies of Xinzhi County, Qingya County, the gang leader decided to let some people come back to take a look. At the worst, they should not let others take over the rights and interests belonging to their Shahu Gang.

As for the killing of Magistrate Lou, who still remembers it after such a long time! Even if someone asked, it was done by rebels. What does it have to do with the good people of the Shahu Gang? However, judging from the reaction above, it doesn't look like they want to pursue it. The new Zhou Zhixian started to form his own team as soon as he took office. He made a lot of money. From the beginning to the end, he never asked a word about Lou Zhixian, and he probably forgot about it.

This saying is especially applicable in official circles.

The main entrance of the county road.

The loess path spreads from the mountain forest to the foot of the city wall. The city walls that had been burned by the flames of war were no longer so miserable after being repaired during this period.

On the official road, some people with sallow faces and skinny muscles came towards the county town carrying baggage and crutches, dragging their families with them. These people were all people from Qingya County who had fled to the surrounding countryside to escape the war. Now they got the news and rushed back.

Some slightly affluent families also rented donkey carts and loaded up their belongings with their wives and children on the road.

From a distance, it looks like ants moving, quite lively.

Chen Luo was also among these people.

The house Chen Laosan rented was also outside in the countryside. After he went out in the morning, he got on the donkey cart and drove slowly along with these fleeing people.

"Get out of the way!"

The scene was broken. A luxurious vermilion carriage was approaching from afar. The driver was shouting loudly, and the whip in his hand flew up, hitting some people who were slow to give way. However, these ordinary people are used to it. Even if they are hit, they will quickly roll to the side to avoid being hit by the carriage and causing secondary damage.

The owner of the donkey cart Chen Luo was riding in was very smart and controlled the donkey cart to pull over as soon as he heard the sound.

The horseman cannot be provoked.

This is common sense among ordinary people. No one will cause trouble for the other party over a trivial matter such as giving way. What ordinary people are most concerned about is their own lives. Only those who have enough food and clothing and pursue spiritual aspects will care about these 'faces'.

In the carriage, a richly dressed young man and a black-bearded scholar sat opposite each other.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar sat cross-legged in meditation, closed his eyes and calmed down. The young master is different. It can be seen from his expression that he is angry now. Pulling open the curtain of the carriage and taking a look at the poverty and backwardness outside, my dissatisfaction became even stronger.

"You actually threw me into a remote place like this. The old man is becoming more and more partial." The young master finally couldn't help but express his feelings.

This young master is none other than the nineteenth son of Prince Ning.

Princes and princes.

The biggest beneficiary behind the Qingya County incident was Prince Ning. The people who died in Qingya County were all numbers in Prince Ning's credit book. Including the current magistrate of Qingya County, they are also a group that eats human blood steamed buns. What’s even more ridiculous is that the imperial court issued an official document some time ago, finalizing the case of rebellion in Qingya County.

Ning Wang's faction was rehabilitated and gained a lot of benefits. Such ridiculous things are carried out openly in this country.

Imperial power was completely blocked from the local area.

There are already signs of the end of the dynasty.

"Your Majesty, be careful what you say."

The middle-aged scholar opened his eyes and looked at the resentful young master. A trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

This is what he helps.

Such a character is much different from other young masters. It's not on the same level at all. The most important thing is that he doesn't have the help of his mother clan behind him. It can be said that from the beginning, the fate of this nineteenth-year-old master was already doomed. It's okay if you don't have ambition, and you can still be rich and wealthy for a lifetime. If you have undue greed, the final outcome will definitely not be good.

This can be seen from the fact that he was pushed out to Qingya County this time.

Prince Ning had sent people to dig out the things in the valley of Qingya County a few days ago, and what was left were scraps, which were basically worthless.

But even so, King Ning was not ready to give up.

By sending the Nineteenth Son here, he was ready to squeeze out the remaining value, and by the way, he sent this not-so-smart son away to save his life in disguise. It's a pity that the Nineteenth Young Master can't understand these things. All he can think about is complaining. He's an idiot.

"What else should I say? All the resources on the surface have been given to the elder brother and the others by the old man. I, a concubine with a father who doesn't care for his mother, can only try his luck at this C-level resource point. .”

The young prince's face was full of unwillingness.

"If it weren't for the fact that my blood concentration is not high enough, huh? Stop the car!"

The expression of the 19th Young Master who was complaining suddenly changed, and he quickly shouted to the coachman.

The speeding carriage stopped quickly under the control of the driver.

"what happened?"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar glanced doubtfully.

The Nineteenth Young Master did not reply to him, but jumped down from the carriage and looked around carefully.

Just now, the jade pendant in his arms became hot!
  This jade pendant was a gift from the father, and each of their heirs had one. Ordinary people would only think it was the prince's great love, but the Nineteenth Young Master knew the secret behind this matter.

Immortal Fate!

As long as there is 'the power of immortal text' nearby, the jade pendant will generate heat. This involves the secret of cultivating immortality, and it is also the ultimate secret of the Ning Prince family. This secret can only be known by their 'qualified' direct bloodline.

His father dared to think about that position just because he had contact with the 'immortal'.

Strength breeds ambition.

This is an eternal truth.

The Nineteenth Young Master is keen on performance, and he may not be without the idea of ​​using his father to contact the ‘immortal’.

After all, who doesn’t want to live forever while still alive?
