Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

The path was not as easy to walk on as the official road, and there were mostly bushes half a person's height around it. Although it was drizzling outside, Shen Yao could still see small animals appearing from time to time.

"The terrain here is flat, and the villagers just now had a smooth journey. They will reach Yuchang County in just three days."

The premise is that they don't encounter any trouble. Xu Ningchen swung the whip in his hand, and the two mules walked on the country road, groaning non-stop.

"I'm afraid the high officials of Yuchang County don't want to accept these fleeing villagers."

Shen Yao shook her head indifferently, thinking that the upper echelons of Yuchang County cared more about their own interests. It might be okay to provide some rice porridge for a short period of time, but once it became a long-term job with no visible returns, how could the capitalists do business at a loss?

"Behind Yuchang County is the capital of the prosperous dynasty, and the prefect of Yuchang County is the emperor's confidant." Now that the emperor has passed away and the prince has succeeded to the throne, the court is in turmoil.

A new emperor appoints new ministers. How long can the Yuchang County Magistrate stay in his position?

"These have nothing to do with us. Let's get to the capital as soon as possible and settle down."

Continuing their journey, the mule cart moved forward, bypassing Yuchang County and heading straight for the capital. Although they encountered a few accidents on the way, fortunately they finally entered the capital area.

"right here"

Shen Yao raised her head and looked at the majestic and magnificent capital city in front of her. For the next month or so, the two of them would rest here and adjust their departure plans based on changes in the court situation.

Queue up to enter the city and pay the fee.

The rain had stopped at this time, and although the sky was gloomy and stuffy, it was much better than in the past few days.

Just as the two were queuing to enter the city, a group of handsome young men riding tall horses ran out from the exit beside them, looking unbridled and arrogant.

When ordinary people saw this, they all avoided it, fearing that they would accidentally attract attention and bring disaster upon themselves.

After all, these people are from wealthy families, and they can be killed with just a stomp of the foot.

Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen were not noticeable among the crowd entering the city, but the system in their minds liked to join in the fun. What's more, these children of wealthy families paraded through the streets on horseback, which was extremely high-profile and arrogant.

"Oh, you are so desperate to go out of town for fun when you are in such a critical situation. You really don't know what's good for you."

"Hehe, if he's not the prince's son, then he's the prince of a marquisate. The Sheng Dynasty is really going to be finished."

'...'

Shen Yao followed Xu Ningchen, and soon it was their turn to line up and enter the city.

First find a place to stay, then find a temporary residence outside the city. As for living in the capital? Their identities are not qualified.

What's more, the capital seems safe. Once the city gates are closed and you can't escape, it will be more convenient to go to the villages and towns outside.

"You take a rest first. I'll go to the dental office to get some information."

Xu Ningchen chose an inn close to the city gate, settled Shen Yao down, and then turned and left.

Shen Yao stayed in the inn, opened the window on one side, leaned against the window and looked down, taking in the bustling scene of the entire street.

Guodu is worthy of being the capital, it is prosperous and bustling with people coming and going.

I heard that there were some brief problems when the emperor passed away some time ago. Later, the prince succeeded to the throne and ordered the army to guard the place strictly, thus resolving all the risks.

However, those princes, whether adults or minors, still stayed in the capital, fighting with the new emperor while looking for opportunities to ascend to the throne.

Now the capital seems calm on the surface, but in fact everyone in the rich and powerful families is betting big. I heard that many heads have been chopped off by the guillotine in the vegetable market, and those are names that ordinary people have never heard of.

Shen Yao held her chin up and didn't come back to her senses until she heard some noise coming from the door.

The waiter brought the food that had been ordered earlier, with steam rising from the tray. He arranged the dishes and left enough for Xu Ningchen. Shen Yao picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

In the afternoon, Xu Ningchen returned to the inn with a lot of information. The dental professional was indeed a professional, and the problem Xu Ningchen consulted was quickly solved.

"Go out of the city and follow the official road for about five miles. There is a not-so-big village. You can stay there temporarily by spending some money."

While Xu Ningchen was eating the food in his bowl, he was planning what to do for tomorrow. They would definitely have to go to the city frequently to gather information and stay in the village at night.

"Are there many taskers here? Did you encounter any on your trip?"

Shen Yao placed her arms on the table, leaned forward, and stared at Xu Ningchen.

"The taskers who can arrive at the capital during this time period are not from bad backgrounds. We are of ordinary status," so it is not easy to meet them.

"Yes," just like the colleague I met on the road, riding in a horse-drawn carriage. Are the horses bought by ordinary people? Without an official position and connections, you can't touch them.

Forget it, I just hope these taskers don’t conflict with them.

Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen stayed in the inn for one night, and then went to the brokerage firm to handle the formalities the next day.

People like them who are not local residents cannot stay in the capital for more than three days. If they complete the formalities early, they can also ease the pain of the journey.

At this time, news of the civil unrest in Gyeongju had spread to the capital, sparking discussions and sighs among the people.

Anyway, it didn't happen to them, so most people just talked about it for fun. However, the civil and military officials in the court took advantage of the situation to eliminate dissidents and carry out a purge.

Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen came to Tangjia Village.

It is a small village only five kilometers away from the capital, and its name comes from the fact that all the people there are surnamed Tang.

The advantage of being close to the capital is that the people of Tangjia Village have no worries about food and clothing.

There are many vacant houses around the village. Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen are renting a house on a short-term basis. After completing the formalities at the property agency, they can move into a vacant house in Tangjia Village.

Obviously, the men, women, young and old in Tangjia Village have long been accustomed to people like them. After all, although the city is prosperous, it spends money like water. It is normal for people with insufficient financial resources to choose to live in the suburbs.

That night, Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen took out a rich meal from the space to celebrate.

It has been more than a month and a half since the two of them fled, and the days ahead will surely not be easy.

After finishing the meal on the table with satisfaction, Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen lay side by side on the bed and had a rare good sleep.

The next morning, the two walked out of the room to the sound of roosters crowing in the village.

The weather was as gloomy and depressing as usual, but fortunately no rain fell.

The villagers who got up early in the village have already gone to the fields with hoes in hand. They are all simple farmers. Occasionally, two well-dressed people walk by, but they are just glanced at quickly and leave no trace.

Xu Ningchen and Shen Yao did not drive the mule cart into the city, but chose to walk, preparing to gather information while replenishing some daily supplies.

Especially treasures like talisman paper which can be very useful. They have nothing to do in daily life, so they must master this skill.

"Do you feel that the atmosphere in the city is not right?" Shen Yao raised her hand and poked Xu Ningchen. Why did the city seem a little nervous in just one day?

Xu Ningchen signaled Shen Yao to stay calm, and he found an opportunity to ask her questions.

As expected, many people were very secretive about this and refused to say a word more.

Finally, it was the notice posted on the wall that reminded them what had happened. It turned out that a prince had rebelled (whether it was a real rebellion remains to be verified), and had been dealt with by the new emperor, but the aftermath was still there. Many court officials and their families who had participated in it were arrested last night, and it was said that they would be beheaded and their entire clans exterminated.

Xu Ningchen and Shen Yao simply went to crowded places, and after buying the things they wanted, they spent some spare money drinking tea and listening to gossip.

"Ouch, it's coming out."

"Wow! There are so many people."

"Are they all going to be dragged into the market? There are women and children inside."

"..."

The new emperor has ordered the secret execution of important figures, and those pushed out now are all their immediate family members.

Some people look disheveled, but their elegance can't be wiped out in one night.

Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen were sitting on the second floor of the teahouse, looking down, when they saw someone jump out and run away.

Unfortunately, the guards around him were not just for show, and the strength of one person was too much, so he was actually killed on the spot and died earlier than others.

The escort team was so dense that one could not see the beginning or the end, and no one knew how many people had rebelled last night. Although there were many dignitaries in the capital, if they were killed like this, one day they would be stretched to the limit.

"Host, there is a tasker inside. This time there is really no escape."

The system lamented that a good background did not necessarily lead to success, so he was implicated and became cannon fodder.

Although the host's luck is not very good, he can pass each copy smoothly.

Comparing the two, the host is luckier and his vision is indeed good.

The system boasts about itself, praising the host while not forgetting to bring itself along.

Shen Yao had no idea what the system was thinking. She was whispering to Xu Ningchen that they should pay special attention to the situation in the capital in the next few days. If anything went wrong, they would immediately flee south.

Xu Ningchen: …

Xu Ningchen rubbed his forehead helplessly and said, "Don't be afraid, unless the new emperor dies," otherwise the capital will definitely be the last place to be in chaos.

Shen Yao raised her eyebrows, thinking that Xu Ningchen was too confident. Given the quality of the copy, she couldn't really guarantee the safety of the new emperor.

You have to know that the new emperor cannot suppress his half-brothers. Killing some of them this time may have a deterrent effect, but it will also have the effect of alerting the enemy. As long as they still have their eyes on the throne, these princes will definitely take the initiative.

In the evening, the two left the capital and returned to Tangjia Village.

On both sides of the village entrance are rice fields that have sprouted and grown, and the green spreads out like a beautiful blanket.

Because the temporary house they were staying in had no furnishings, the two men had nothing to do. Apart from feeding the two mules that followed them on their travels, there was nothing else they could do.

When I have nothing to do, I draw talismans. After I mastered three types of talismans, there are seven left.

Try to learn a few more before clearing the level, so that they will be more confident in dealing with the next dungeons, including supernatural dungeons.

For the next two days, the two of them did not go out, but stayed at home drawing talismans.

Only after the talisman paper she bought was almost used up did Shen Yao flex her wrists and decide to go to the capital again with Xu Ningchen.

It was no different from the previous time, except that the atmosphere in the air was more solemn.

As expected, rebellion is a road of no return. If there is a first one, there will be a second and a third... The palace has been very busy during this period, and the safety of the new emperor has become the most important topic at the moment.

Including ordinary people living in the capital, everyone is wondering whether the new emperor can avoid these conspiracies. After all, once the new emperor on the dragon throne dies, they, the people, will be thrown into endless troubles.

Unlike the high officials who could make a fortune by following the emperor, ordinary people had no chance to take this path, and the only way to have a stable life was to beg for charity from the upper class.

Xu Ningchen and Shen Yao didn't dare to wander around the capital city in a swagger. They quickly bought things and went to several teahouses and inns with wide sources of information to rest and gather information. They returned to Tangjia Village before dark.

The vacant houses around Tangjia Village have been rented out one after another in the past few days. Shen Yao would occasionally run into one or two of them when she went out, but they were not familiar with each other and had no friendship, so she just treated them as strangers.

By chance today, Shen Yao saw an old friend who seemed familiar to her.

It was the missionary who had once accompanied him on the road. They walked together for a few days, but later it rained and they separated and never met again.

Now that they met unexpectedly in Tangjia Village, Shen Yao was surprised and puzzled at the same time. Why did the other party seem to be unhappy?

'Of course, not everyone can escape the disaster like the host.'

The system obviously knows some inside information, but cannot reveal too much due to the rules.

Shen Yao said "oh" when she heard this, turned around and pretended not to recognize him, "Everyone has their own luck. As long as he doesn't conflict with us, it's okay to lend a hand appropriately."

Even if you do good things, if there is a chance to cooperate in a copy in the future, you will always have one more favor than others.

system:……

After returning to the room and telling Xu Ningchen about this matter, Shen Yao turned around and forgot about him.

He returned to his daily life of drawing talismans, peaceful and full of hope.

Every two days, Xu Ningchen and Shen Yao would go to the capital to gather information and buy some clean talisman paper and cinnabar for future use.

It was not until they had lived in Tangjia Village for half a month that the heavy city gates of the capital were closed and not opened. Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen realized that something was wrong and hurried back to Tangjia Village to pack their luggage and prepare to leave.

Before leaving, Xu Ningchen told the village chief that the city gate was closed.

As for how the elderly village chief would make the decision, that was not something Xu Ningchen should worry about.

"drive!"

Two mules pulled the carriage behind them and ran rapidly along the country road.

Xu Ningchen drove the cart while looking back at the situation behind him. After making sure that the sounds of fighting and killing were gradually fading away, he not only did not slow down the car, but instead whipped the mule.

Shen Yao opened the door of the carriage and looked at the empty space behind her helplessly.

No one could have expected that the new emperor would survive the rebellion of his half brother, but the army at his command got out of control and started slaughtering everyone in the capital without distinguishing between friend and foe. Fortunately, the two of them did not waste time and ran fast, otherwise they would have had no choice but to fight those soldiers head-on.

"Let's get out of the war zone first. Once the news from the capital gets out, the whole Jingzhou will be in chaos."

Jingzhou can be regarded as the base camp of the Sheng Dynasty. The internal instability of the base camp will greatly affect the surrounding areas. When several states are connected, it will be even more difficult for the two of them to escape.

Ugh

It seems that Sheng Chao's fate in this copy has already been determined.
