  Facing the grand black crowd, Big Miss said lightly: “Get up.”

  The soldiers were still kneeling, and several officials also did not get up. The purple robe official in the center prostrated his head and said, “Your Royal Highness Fengyang is here. We came too late to welcome you, and the sin is unforgivable.”

  Ling Fengxiao said: “There was no need.”

  Several officials got up in awe and said, “We didn’t know your highness was here ……”

  “It’s nothing,” said Ling Fengxiao.

  After the “nothing” came down, Lin Shu clearly noticed that the officials were a little bit frightened again—Yue Mo was not afraid of something, but was afraid that the unprovoked Highness would have nothing to look for.

  Ling Fengxiao didn’t mention the plague, and said, “I just came for fun. You don’t have to accompany me. I’ll come to you when I need something. ”

  The officials responded with a “yes”, and said several “must cooperate with all their strength”, “arrange the post house immediately”, and so on.

  Big Miss said, “Withdraw”, then reined her horse to turn around and headed to another long street.

  The group of black-armored soldiers came and went fast, and soon left the street, and the sparse pedestrians continued to move.

  Lin Shu thought in his heart, The regional rulers attempt to make Bao Si smile to the point of lighting a flame of war. But Big Miss did not need to, she simply needs to stand there and be present.

  He looked away from there and turned to the street.

  Zhao Ye slowed down and walked slowly down the long street.

  At this time, it was nearly noon. It was not cold and sunny, but the three-mile long street was very quiet. Many shops on both sides were closed. Only three or four shops were selling fruits and fruits snacks.

  “Jiang Prefectures’ tea is good,” Lin Shu heard Ling Fengxiao say to herself. “I will make it for you at noon.”

  Lin Shu said: “Thank you.”

  Big Miss said: “No need to thank me.”

  After walking for a long time, he could see nothing but depression and loneliness.

  \r \r \r

  They had settled in small towns before, so even if there were not many people, they would not be indifferent. In big cities like Jiang Prefecture, there were only a few pedestrians, they appear to be extremely empty.

  Lin Shu said, “Aren’t you going to investigate?”

  “I am going to,” Big Miss replied, “I’m just a little scared.”

  Scared?

  Is there anything in the world that Big Miss is afraid of?

  Lin Shu originally imagined the investigation scene. It should be that Big Miss took a group of Imperial Guards all the way to Jiang Prefecture Mansion, sat in the lobby, and then transferred out the household registration book and local chronicles without turning a few times. After discovering the truth, he immediately chopped off many officials’ dog heads.

  Just as he was thinking, his hand was slowly held by Big Miss.

  His hands were always in his cloak, which was very warm. Big Miss’s hand was always outside because she was controlling the horse, and at this time, the five slender jade fingers were really cold like jade.

  He felt Big Miss leaned forward a little bit, got closer to him, and her voice was lowered, a bit cold.

  “I just thought, Jiang Prefecture plague, tens of thousands of lives, widely involved. A few county officials may not dare to commit such treacherous things as throwing all the sick people into the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss. What’s more, once this incident was detected, it would immediately arouse the public’s outrage, and the Supreme Court would listen to it…… ” Big Miss’s voice became lower and lower, and finally almost disappeared. “I am afraid that this matter has been approved by His Majesty.”

  Lin Shu: “.……”

  This is a little scary.

  It was speculated that the people who were infected were put into the “treatment” of the Ten Thousand Ghost Abyss, so after the spread of the plague was cut off, Cousin and Cang Min both showed strong emotions, It can be seen that this plague was not a severe infectious disease. There was still the law to govern, not to the point where such a method was needed.

  He said: “What should we do?”

  “You and I will play pretend today,” said Big Miss. “When it is time, we will visit the Jiang Prefecture Government Offices at night, search for household registration books and local chronicles, and then find out if there was any imperial edict of His Majesty in the past. If not, we will thoroughly investigate it tomorrow. If so, we will give up this matter.”

  Lin Shu let out an “En”.

  If this was really the emperor’s instruction, then, in any case, it was impossible to turn over the water.

  He was not a man who grew up in a feudal society. He thought about this matter, thought about the “tax ghost”, and then looked at this big city which was obviously in poverty, and those towns and villages that were not prosperous along the way. He only thought that the emperor was not very good, and he was a little careless about human life.

  But if he is replaced by Xiao Lingyang, I’m afraid it would be worse.

  He’s not as reliable as Big Miss.

  But he only thought privately in his heart, he felt that Big Miss was very upset to be in charge of these things.

  As he was thinking about it, he heard Big Miss say: “If this was a prosperous age, I just want to travel around the world with you or find a good mountain and river to live in seclusion and talk about swordsmanship. I don’t always feel very happy to involve you running with me now. ”

  Lin Shu said, “It doesn’t matter to me.”

  He looked at the skinny pedestrians on the street, thinking of the white bones at the bottom of the cliff of Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, and finally understood what kind of world he had come into, a world where humans were corrupted and life were like grass.

  If he didn’t have Big Miss, he couldn’t have found a way to change his meridians. He won’t be able to cultivate immortality and after a few years, he might be one of those white bones.

  Big Miss said: “It still matters. Taoyuan-jun was originally a reclusive immortal lord who did not enter the mundane world. You are his apprentice, so you should be detached from the outside world. But I have a family and country to think about, and I always feel bad for you if I want to live in the dust for a long time. ”

  Lin Shu thought for a moment and said, “It doesn’t make any difference.”

  For him, there was no big difference between what was dust outside and dust inside. It’s just a bit annoying in crowded places.

  After listening to his words, Big Miss had a little smile in her voice and said, “I forgot who you are – Immortal Lord, what would you like to eat today?”

  Lin Shu looked at the shops, and there was nothing to eat or not to eat. After thinking for a long time, Lin Shu choked out a sentence: “It’s up to you.”

  Big Miss teased him again and said, “It’s up to me, what if you don’t like it and you eat less?”

  Lin Shu said, “I have been eating so much.”

  Big Miss said, “If you eat a little more every day. Over time, you won’t eat so little.”

  Lin Shu: “???”

  Now he feels that Big Miss is not raising a hamster, but it was too ugly to raise pigs instead. Only forced-feed ducks were more appropriate.

  Just thinking about it, he felt Big Miss let go of his hand.

  He thought, just now Big Miss suspected that the tens of thousands of dead people in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss were ordered by her father emperor to be killed. She was also thinking about something about living in the dust. Therefore, she was in a bad mood and took his hand. Now that she was in a better mood, she let go.

  It can be seen that in addition to playing a little of the zither, he could also calm the mood of Big Miss, which was not very useless.

  Big Miss has many affairs, which was frustrating and labor-intensive, and she was really annoyed. If touching him can really relieve her emotions, it was not a big sacrifice for him to take the initiative to overcome his human allergies and contribute his own body.
