These days, Lan Wangshu and his group have been active in the city. Beiqing, the capital of Dai Viet, is a city with a huge gap between the rich and the poor. The north city is where the rich live, and every family is magnificent and beautiful; while the south suburbs are where the poor gather, and almost all the poor people in the entire capital are concentrated here. When Lan Wangshu witnessed all this with her own eyes, she couldn't help but be amazed. Even the most greedy capitalists would probably shed tears when they saw it! The whole society is like a huge pyramid. Only a very small number of people can control most of the huge wealth of Dai Viet. As for others, they can only divide up the insignificant resources.
For many people, even living in a mountain village has become a luxury. This is where they settle down after arriving in Oetsu, and it is also the fundamental reason why the environment is so dirty and messy!
Even though Lan Wangshu knew so much, she still couldn't change the status quo, because the faces that could enter and leave North City were known and heavily guarded. Once they appeared, they would be discovered immediately, which was not good news.
After going around and gathering all the information about Daiyue Kyoto, they returned to the courtyard to gather. "Master, how long are we going to stay here?" Qingye looked at Lan Wangshu's pale face every day, and was extremely anxious. You know, Lan Wangshu has been unwell for a while. If she continues to stay in this harsh environment, it may have a greater impact on her health.
"It will take some time." Lan Wangshu raised his head and looked around. This dilapidated courtyard had almost no walls; the roof was so broken that you could see the stars; the courtyard wall was about to collapse, as if it would collapse at any time; and the indescribable smell of rice fields that permeated and lingered for a long time was even more disgusting. These were undoubtedly a huge test of the limits of human survival, but this was especially true for Lan Wangshu. At this moment, she even wished she was a rhinitis patient so that she could not smell anything.
However, despite such a difficult environment, Lan Wangshu still said firmly: "The noble lady of the King of Qin has never shown her true colors. She is the key to this operation. Therefore, we must be patient and wait for the opportunity." She was well aware of the importance of the mission and understood that only by persisting could she find clues to solve the problem.
Qingye understood Lan Wangshu's determination and sense of mission, but he still couldn't help but worry: "But Master, your body..." Lan Wangshu gently waved his hand and interrupted Qingye's words: "I'm fine, don't worry. As long as we can complete the task, this little difficulty is nothing."
In this difficult time, Lan Wangshu showed strong will and fearless spirit. She led her men to continue to stay in this small courtyard, hoping to uncover the truth behind the noble man. Although the environment is harsh, their beliefs are as hot as a burning flame and will never go out.
When I was in school, I learned that if you stay in a smelly environment for a long time, when the smell continues to transmit information to the brain, the brain will choose to ignore it, making it impossible for people to detect the existence of the smell. However, at this moment, who can tell her what happened? Why can she still smell the odor? Lan Wangshu couldn't help but frowned and looked at them with guilt on his face.
"Master, these are just trivial matters. It doesn't matter if we suffer a little. It's not to the point where we can't bear it. But look at yourself. Not only have you been unable to eat in the past two days, you have also been vomiting non-stop, and you have lost a lot of weight." Xifeng lowered his voice, his eyes fixed on Lan Wangshu, his eyes revealing an unconcealable worry.
"I'm fine, nothing serious, just grit your teeth and hold on." Lan Wangshu patted Xifeng's shoulder gently, trying to cheer herself up. Despite her poor physical condition, she still showed her strong side.
"I'm here on this mission on the orders of the King of Qin. Maybe it was the idea of the person behind him! The Cheng family must have reached some kind of agreement with the King of Qin, otherwise why would we encounter so many assassinations along the way? These killers are obviously coming for my life! Thanks to your protection along the way, I was able to complete this mission safely." Lan Wangshu said with emotion.
"Master, you are too kind! If it weren't for you, we would still be living a precarious life. Now we can walk freely in the city and even have a job. These were things we couldn't even dare to think about before!" Xifeng and the others looked at each other and decided that Xifeng would be the representative to express his loyalty to Lan Wangshu.
Lan Wangshu smiled slightly and told everyone to fix up the house a little so that it would at least look passable, so that she could continue to stay here.
"Why don't we wait until night and repair it secretly? This way we won't be easily discovered."
A man suggested.
"No need to do that. This place is empty during the day. Everyone is out working. For them, this place is just a place to sleep. We will repair it a little bit and give it as a gift to the original owner." Lan Wangshu shook his head slightly. This place is no different from another Korean country. Every household gets up early and goes to bed late, busy with construction all day long, so they are quite lazy about repairing the houses, and there is no need for this. Although he felt something in his heart, it was just this. At this time, everyone was oppressed to this extent, but they still did not revolt. It was really their own fault. Many people thought that they could just live in mediocrity and were unwilling to make unnecessary sacrifices, but they forgot that retreating would not save them. When the day comes when only death can bring relief, why not just rise up and resist? This question has always puzzled Lan Wangshu. Such a major social problem, is it possible that no one has ever considered it?
This is absolutely impossible! Lan Wangshu was very aware that her understanding of this era was actually very superficial, whether in terms of court affairs or people's livelihood issues, and she could not be called an expert or an authority at all. However, even such a simple idea, she could think of it, so could others not think of it? Unless... they can't do it. When Lan Wangshu thought of this, a strong curiosity immediately surged in her heart, and she was full of interest in the entire Dayue. It's really interesting, what are these people thinking about? Lan Wangshu just quietly observed their busy figures, but her eyes had already wandered, as if drifting to an unknown place in the distance. Although Lan Wansu on the side was holding silk in her hands, she was also keenly aware that she was distracted and did not focus on the scene in front of her at all.
"What are you thinking about?" Lan Wansu walked over slowly, his movements as graceful as flowing water. He gently took out an exquisite handkerchief, carefully spread it on the steps, and then slowly sat down. Lan Wangshu looked at his exquisite appearance and couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly. This man was even more exquisite and elegant than her. I really don't know how he developed this habit.
"Nothing special." Lan Wangshu answered casually, trying to make her tone seem calm and natural. She didn't want Lan Wansu to know her true thoughts. After all, some things are better kept mysterious. Moreover, she was not sure whether she should share her curiosity and questions about Dayue with him. Perhaps, this was just her unique perspective, which might not be understood or recognized by others.
"I know, you're wondering why they don't resist." Lan Wansu smiled softly, and that smile was as dazzling as the stars twinkling in the night sky, making people fall for it. Her beautiful eyes were full of cunning, like a fairy luring people into a trap. Her tone revealed an irresistible certainty, and every word was like a spell, which was pleasing to the ears and bewitching.
"What's wrong? Can you tell fortunes?" Lan Wangshu's eyes widened, and she looked at the mysterious and charming woman in front of her in amazement. She was curious and wanted to find out what secrets Lan Wansu was hiding.
"I can't say I can tell fortunes, but I can still help you solve your doubts." Lan Wansu shook her head gently, with a faint smile still on her lips. Her voice was like the sound of nature, melodious and intoxicating.
At this moment, Lan Wansu suddenly took a step forward and put his face close to Lan Wangshu. This sudden action frightened Lan Wangshu so much that her body suddenly leaned back and she almost fell to the ground. However, before she could react, Lan Wansu stretched out his slender arms and quickly hugged her into his arms like a flying bird spreading its wings.
"Let go, it's disgraceful." Lan Wangshu struggled to get out of Lan Wansu's arms, stood up, and took a step back. There was a hint of displeasure in her eyes, but more of an inner conflict and struggle. She was not unhappy because of Lan Wansu's offense, but she felt helpless about her inability to resist Lan Wansu. Lan Wangshu always kept her role setting in mind. She wanted to be the heroine in the story and must not be bound by a strong male protagonist. She was determined to stick to her position and pursue an independent life path.
Now when they thought of Lan Wangshu making ice cream for them, they almost jumped for joy.
"But before that, please go to the wall and collect the white powder."
"I obey your orders. We will definitely complete your orders. You don't need to ask for anything. It would be beneath our dignity and would make us look like we are overstepping the boundaries."
Xifeng looked serious. He had already discovered that Lan Wangshu didn't seem to have any clear idea of superiority and inferiority in her heart, but as subordinates, they couldn't be ignorant and confused about it. After all, Lan Wangshu had lived an extremely difficult life since she was a child, and she didn't have the condescending and overbearing style, but this didn't mean that they, as subordinates, couldn't disrespect her.
"Well, I will order you to collect those white powdery substances, and then eat up all the ice food I made!" Lan Wangshu looked at Xifeng's serious and solemn look and couldn't help laughing. Xifeng was really good in every way, the only flaw was that he took the so-called distinction between the superior and the inferior too seriously. However, in her opinion, this concept was completely a product of the limitations of the times, so she was quite happy to cooperate with Xifeng.
Xifeng's eyes were full of disapproval and disapproval, but he could do nothing but smile bitterly and clasp his fists, then he led the others and left with the small plates. "Master, we are back. Do you think these are enough?"
"enough."
Lan Wangshu smiled and nodded, indicating that she didn't care about the quantity. In fact, there were a lot of ice cubes stored in her space, and she also had the ability to make ice. The reason why she wanted to find something that could block her sight was mainly because she didn't want to attract too much attention from others. So, Lan Wangshu ordered his men to carefully arrange the black curtains in every corner of the room to ensure that there were no gaps left.
Everyone walked into the curtain and sat down around Lan Wangshu. Everyone sat on a small cushion, looking very orderly. Then, Lan Wangshu sent Xifeng to the outside of the city to retrieve the huge box tied to the horse's back. Then, she began to demonstrate the process of making ice in front of everyone, and this scene stunned the people present.
"It's really amazing! There is such a magical magic in the world."
"Yes, could the master be an immortal? It is unbelievable that such a small amount of water can be turned into ice."
Hearing these flattering words, Lan Wangshu blushed and felt a little embarrassed. She quickly explained: "No, this is not some magic, but a kind of knowledge called 'science'. When I open a college in the future, you can all come to study." After that, Lan Wangshu smiled slightly and took out a lot of dried fruits, jams and milk quietly under the cover of the box.
Later, people gradually stopped paying attention to how Lan Wangshu made ice. At this moment, she was instructing everyone to decorate the house. After all, they would have to stay here for a while, and she didn't want any omissions during this period. Although the space available was limited, she still hoped to live comfortably.
