Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 77: The Tongzhou Court and the Exiled Princess
"How did Fa Zai kill your father?"

Lu Xian asked. He was very curious about this question.

A kid who is only a tiny bit tall was able to kill the leader who ruled an entire human organization. Even for someone as cruel as Fa Zai, it shouldn't be that easy.

Chai Xin gave a bitter laugh and said, "This matter...actually, it's mainly because my dad isn't a good person...and Fa Zai, at first, seemed like a good guy..."

As she spoke, she briefly told Lu Xian about the past.

The other people at that time were just like those in the county town today. They all lived under the high-pressure rule of Chai Xin’s father Chai Lei, and no one dared to speak out.

Including Fa Zai.

But at that time none of them dared to attack Chai Lei.

Finally, on the day of the incident, Chai Lei summoned everyone in Tongzhou County to discuss the matter.

Although it is called a meeting, in fact, the content is only one thing - asking others to increase their offerings to it.

Fa Zai was also present at the time, and he acted as if he was trying to please everyone, saying nice things to them to avoid making them angry.

——Of course, he looked like he was trying hard to persuade everyone to pay tribute quickly to avoid making Chai Lei angry.

Fa Zai was very young at that time, and his cautious look for everyone, yet able to help Chai Lei calm everyone's emotions and force everyone to agree to Chai Lei's request, naturally made Chai Lei relax his vigilance.

Then when Fa Zai approached Chai Lei, he suddenly took out a knife and stabbed Chai Lei in the vitals.

Fa Zai was kicked out, but everyone still didn't dare to go forward.

It was still Fa Zai who called out, "He's already seriously injured. If you don't take action now, when will you take action?"

Seeing Chai Lei's furious attack, everyone wanted to rush up and deal with Fa Zai, but they were bleeding and weak, and they stumbled and fell down as soon as they stood up. Then they all attacked together and killed Chai Lei.

After that, Fa Zai was not able to take the position immediately. Others fought for it for a long time.

During that time, Chai Xin lived in the county town. Although his life was not as good as before, at least he could still live a better life.

——Because when Chai Lei was a tyrant, Chai Xin was quite nice to others, so others did not take advantage of his misfortune. They just didn't want to bother with Chai Xin and left him alone.

Later, everyone realized that fighting like this was not a good idea. The more they fought, the harder it became to live. It was better to live the way they had before.

So they came up with an idea, put Fa Zai in power as a puppet, and then continued to discuss matters as before.

When Lu Xian heard this, he was speechless and felt powerless to complain: "What are these people doing? What's the point of setting up a puppet? Can't we just run our own parliament?"

Chai Xin sighed and said, “They don’t understand… Even I didn’t know about the parliament until I went to Mengxin City.

"Hmm... They don't call it a council, they call it a gathering. I think that's the same thing, right? Every once in a while, everyone gets together to discuss things like hunting areas."

"Yes."

Lu Xian nodded.

It seems that Mengxin City, like Tongzhou County, has been split into several organizations.

Chai Xin said: "They just want to return to the old model. How can they figure out other forms if they haven't seen it before?"

Lu Xian said, "They might as well help you up. Fa Zai actually dared to attack Chai Lei without authorization and even encouraged others to do the same. How can this be handled well?"

Chai Xindao said, "They thought about it and looked for me, but I'm Chai Lei's child. They were afraid of me... and then nothing happened."

"Pfft..."

Lu Xian laughed, "A small county like Tongzhou actually pays attention to orthodoxy..." Chai Xin scratched his head, as if he understood what Lu Xian meant, but he didn't quite understand the implication.

But Yao Wei understood.

——At least she thought she understood.

She could tell that Lu Xian was mocking the people in Tongzhou County.

Lu Xian knew so much, so he could mock those people in Tongzhou County, but those people, including Chai Xin, did not understand.

Lu Xian is so amazing!

She didn't know why, but she felt a little proud.

Chai Xin continued to talk about what happened in Tongzhou County afterwards.

There is actually nothing much to say about what happened later. After Fa Zai came to power, he used his position to form alliances, win over and exclude others, and even created his own team and brought all four brothers of the Liang family under his control.

The other groups were also unknowingly fooled by Fa Zai and left their people with him. By the time they finally realized what was happening and handed over the hostages, it was already too late.

Thus, Fa Zai began his brutal reign, and everyone got what they wanted and returned to the past. Meanwhile, Chai Xin's good days came to an end.

Fa Zai was not as indifferent to Chai Xin as the others, he regarded Chai Xin as a threat, so Chai Xin was imprisoned.

Fa Zai didn't even give Chai Xin food to eat, hoping to starve him to death. He didn't kill him immediately because he was afraid that others would take advantage of the opportunity to attack him and help Chai Xin take over.

Fortunately, Chai Xin used to be nice to everyone, including Liang Da and Liang Er.

Although Liang Da and Liang Er both lived a good life with Fa Zai, they still remembered Chai Xin's sincerity back then.

So they secretly took Chai Xin out, sent him outside Tongzhou County, and released him. They also gave Chai Xin a bow and a few arrows, and let Chai Xin live on his own in the future.

In this way, Chai Xin later wandered alone among the mountains and grasslands of Mengxin City, survived alone, and became what he is now.

After listening to Chai Xin's story, Lu Xian couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that in the doomsday, Tongzhou County would slowly develop and evolve, and the "imperial orthodoxy" would emerge. It was really sad.

Then can the person that Yao Wei and I met be considered an exiled princess?

Having satisfied his curiosity, Lu Xian asked another question: "How did you become like this? Living alone for so long, and still being so powerful, chasing after a pack of wolves by yourself?"

Chai Xin said: “I don’t know either… I just practiced slowly.

"When I first left Tongzhou County, I hid all the way. Later, when the weather got cold, I found a cave and hid in it.

"But I didn't expect there was a deer in the cave, and it used its horns to butt me. I was almost gored to death, and then the arrow pierced the deer and killed it.

"I lived on that deer for a long time, but when the meat ran out, I had no choice but to leave the cave.

“Later, I accidentally wandered to Mengxin City, where I almost died and was driven out.

"I encountered that pack of wolves. I shot them with arrows, and they came after me. I almost died several times, but I managed to survive every time.

"I've survived by dealing with them and eating wolf meat. Gradually, I've found that I'm becoming more and more powerful, and the wolves are becoming more and more afraid of me."

She herself was confused and couldn't explain the specific process.

But as Lu Xian listened, a light bulb went off in his head and he thought of something.

　Thanks to the tips from the title "Revoked" and the "Cup Passer." I have a severe cold, feeling weak and sleepy, and I'm barely able to write, so the second chapter will be late. Sorry, everyone, please wait a moment.
