Chapter 3: The Emperor's Grace Seems Enormous, But It's Like Being Exiled
Li Kuida's study was very simple. The small room had only a simple desk with writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone on it. In the upper left corner was a Three Character Classic. Li Yuening dusted it off and opened it to take a look. There were some childish doodles in it. These were the words used by the original body when he first learned to read. After reading it, Li Yuening casually stuffed it into her sleeve, but actually put it into the space.
This study is too simple and doesn't look like a regular one. Although Li Kuida is a reckless man, judging from the way he trains his daughter, he cannot be ignorant of literature and art. Thinking of this, Li Yuening closed her eyes and used her mental power to explore. Her body had just gotten better, but she couldn't bear the mental power she used. Her body tilted and she hurriedly held onto the desk with her hands.
Her thumb pressed a bulge and regardless of the dizziness, Li Yuening exerted force with her hand, and with a click, the wall on the left split apart, revealing a secret door.
Xiao Sui'er opened her mouth and was about to speak when Li Yuening stopped her, "Don't make a sound, go and close the door."
Xiaosui walked to the door and peeked out. Seeing no one was there, she quickly closed the door.
Li Yuening chuckled and shook her head. There had been no one in the escort agency for more than half a month. The reason why she was asked to close the agency was to divert her attention.
Xiao Sui'er helped Li Yuening walk into the secret room, where boxes of all sizes covered the floor. The thick dust showed that the owner had not visited the room for a long time.
Li Yuening asked Xiaosui'er to open the lids one by one. They were all account books of the escort agency, including the account books of the Xie family. Li Yuening roughly flipped through some of them and said to Xiaosui'er, "Xiaosui'er, I'm thirsty. Go get me a glass of water."
After sending Xiaosui'er away, Li Yuening put all the account books into the space. Unexpectedly, after moving the things away, a room within a room was revealed on the ground. She lay on the ground, put her upper body in, and took out a locked box from it. It was not big and could not hold the account books, so it might be letters.
Li Yuening held the padlock and twisted it clockwise, and it fell to the ground along with the buckle. She quickly glanced at the letters on it, and her heart tightened. She took out something from the space and sealed the room within the room. She also took out the box that had been put away before and put it back in its original place. She only took away the account book of Xie's escort, erased all traces of her and the maid, left the secret room, and restored the study to its original state.
Walking out of the study, Li Yuening shivered in the early spring evening breeze. She gathered her gauze skirt which was not warm enough. Didn't she have a cotton jacket? The ancients really valued elegance over warmth.
On the way, I met Xiao Sui'er, who was holding a teapot. "Xiao Sui'er, how old were you when you started following me?"
"My lady, I have been following you since I was 10 years old, and it has been three years." The little girl was very lively, but a little thin, and looked like 11,2 or years old.
"How much do you know about my father?"
"The master loves you very much. Every time he comes back from escorting the caravan, he brings you a lot of fun and delicious food. But you are weak and can't eat many of them." There was a lot of regret in the little maid's tone.
"Yes, but the escort agency was defeated." Li Yuening said casually.
"It's not that those escorts and servants didn't stay before, but they just arrived and had never escorted anyone before. They didn't have a life-and-death relationship with the master. Now that the master is gone, they can't even get their monthly salary, so they run away faster than each other."
"Hey, if only the old escort master was here, they would definitely not betray my father."
Xiao Sui pouted and complained, "Where can I find an old escort? The master always comes back with injuries every time he escorts the master. Other escorts have died while protecting the master, and the escort fee is not even enough to comfort his family."
Li Yuening shuddered, "Every time?"
"Ah, not really. It happens once a year. Every time, my wife cries very sadly, for the master and for those escorts."
Li Yuening thought of the original owner who had copied a lot of Buddhist scriptures and went to Xiaohan Temple to pray every fifteenth day. She was so smart, had she thought of something long ago?
The important thing now is to leave this place of trouble.
Li Yuening immediately said, "Xiao Sui'er, go out and find a dealer to put the house up for sale tomorrow."
"But where are we going to live if we hang out, ma'am?"
"This is a sad place, not conducive to my condition. I will take you to Jinling."
It takes ten days to travel from Jiangning to Nanjing by horse and carriage. It would cost 50 taels to hire a gangster, but only 30 taels to hire a escort agency.
Li Yuening could have gone on the journey alone with her maid, but this dynasty had many restrictions on women traveling alone. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she still wanted to experience the strength of the people in this dynasty.
That night, Li Yuening went to bed early to cultivate her soul. The physical fitness potion had shown some effect on her body. With better physical fitness, her control over mental strength would improve. In her previous life, Li Yuening's physical fitness had reached the peak human level 9, and her mental strength had reached level 7, allowing her to do whatever she wanted. This was why those who coveted her did not dare to provoke her and were afraid of jealousy.
At the crowing of the cock, Li Yuening flashed into the space. After arriving here, she found that this space that she had used for more than ten years could actually be entered and exited. The space as big as a football field turned into black soil. Li Yuening stood beside the fence and pondered. Her previous supplies disappeared, leaving only potions and weapons.
The originally open-air concrete square turned into black soil. There was a fog in the distance, and nothing was found even after trying to cover it with mental power, so Li Yuening gave up.
She walked around the fence and found a thatched hut at the edge. The small box she had taken from the secret room was now placed on a shaky table, as if the table would collapse if it was weighed a little more.
Li Yuening did not care much. The main task now was to restore strength and find suitable weapons. This was a dynasty where the martial arts world and the court coexisted. The Jin Dynasty was not stable. The evil cult was prevalent in the north and controlled the court of Beimang. It could provoke a war against the Central Plains at any time.
The barbarians in the south are difficult to tame and harass the people on the border from time to time. They will behave themselves if there are generals stationed there for a long time, but they will come back again once they leave, making the Jin Dynasty miserable.
Liangzhou and Jinzhou, which had just been recovered from the grassland, had been ravaged by war for years, and nine out of ten houses were deserted. Emperor Yao of the Jin Dynasty then ordered that part of the population of several densely populated states in the south of the Yangtze River be transferred to the northwest for recuperation.
At the same time, the fourth son of the emperor, Xiao Chuhan, was named King of Han, and was given the fiefs of Liangzhou, Jinzhou, and Lizhou, and taxes were reduced for three years.
It seems like the emperor's grace is great, but it is no different from being exiled.
According to the original owner's memory in his previous life, the Xie family finally settled down in Liangzhou, the fiefdom of King Han. The land there was fertile, and it could be called a small Jiangnan. The bad thing was that bandits from the grassland came to rob from time to time, and the people lived in fear. King Han was a good master who cared for the people, but he was powerless. It was said that King Han had his leg mutilated on the way to his fiefdom.
Li Yuening drank the remaining one third of the potion and threw another set of punches. The wind from her punches was roaring and powerful, but unfortunately, she still lacked some strength.
From a pile of weapons, Li Yuening found a set of crossbows and assembled them in no time. She used to follow behind the team and could only attack from a distance. The crossbows were too weak to deal with zombies and were eliminated.
Now it is just right, the range of 100 meters is no problem, but there are only 5 crossbow arrows left, which is a bit too few. Wrap it around your wrist and cover it with the wide sleeves, and the concealment is 100 points.
After flipping through them, these weapons range from those with weaker physique to those with stronger physique, including whips, axes and knives. Li Yuening remembered some embarrassing incidents when she first played with the whip, such as being entangled and unable to move, and being hit by the whip. It seemed like a lifetime ago, and yet it really was a lifetime ago. In the apocalypse, people live in fear every day. Her generation has lived in fear since birth. This is the general environment.
Li Yuening's parents were a temporary couple who worked together at the base. The system had collapsed at that time. It was considered a rare morality for her parents to raise her until she was 10 years old and her superpowers were stimulated before leaving. There were many who just gave birth to her for their own selfish desires and threw her in the base's nursery. Li Yuening did not feel much indignation. She was 15 years old when she saw her parents again, helping them collect bodies after the cleanup war.
