Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Mules' overall endurance is not as good as that of horses, but fortunately the two mules run fast enough.

They ran all the way without stopping until they had left the trouble behind them far behind. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief. It was not easy.

Raising his hand to wipe the new beads of sweat from his forehead, Shen Yao thought that with the speed at which information spread within the Sheng Dynasty, the two of them would probably have to spend the next month running around.

Fortunately, life in Tangjia Village allowed them to successfully master two new talismans.

Lightning Talisman and Calming Talisman

Although the two new talismans do not have much effect on them, they can be used for both attack and self-protection, and are very eye-catching in the infinite world.

"The border of Sheng Dynasty is unstable and there are frictions from time to time. Now that there is chaos inside Sheng Dynasty, I am sure that the border will not be peaceful."

Not to mention the serious conflicts between countries in ancient times, even in modern society, mutual help is not popular. Basically, people take advantage of your illness to kill you and constantly obtain the benefits of others to supplement themselves.

If Xu Ningchen and Shen Yao want to safely cross the border and reach a more prosperous and safe neighboring country, they will probably need to spend more energy than the previous two months combined.

"Even if it's unstable, we have to go and take a look." Seeing the smoke of war rising inside Sheng Dynasty, the two of them would have to deal with the endless troubles if they stayed.

Whose fault was it, including the previous war? The dignitaries in the city had no shortage of guards to protect them, but the unarmed civilians were just cannon fodder to be killed at will in front of this group of people.

After leaving the capital, they can reach their desired destination by following the southward route.

The only problem here is that these two powerless people have to spend a lot of money to take care of all the links and make it convenient for these people to let them live in the neighboring country across the street.

Shen Yao took the time to sort out the gold and silver jewelry, pearls and gems in her space.

They are all things that can be sold at a price in each world (dominated by humans), and it doesn’t cost much points to buy them from the system mall.

"Enough!"

Nodding with certainty, Shen Yao felt that as long as the two of them could successfully reach the border, they could find a way out just by spending money.

What's more, there are frequent cases of defection on the border. When the Sheng Dynasty was stable, nothing could be changed. But now that the Sheng Dynasty is unable to take care of itself, it is easier to operate over there.

The war behind them had long disappeared, and the two of them successfully arrived at the last of the three counties in Jingzhou, Xuhu County.

If you leave Xuhu County and go further, you will enter Qingzhou, which is the border of Sheng Dynasty. Sheng Dynasty has a small territory, with only six states at most. They fled across four states and basically traveled through most of Sheng Dynasty.

Xu Hu County received the news that martial law had been imposed. The city gates were closed and armored soldiers stopped everyone who wanted to enter the city or travel on their way.

When Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen arrived at the foot of the city, the group of people gathered there, judging from their dress, were all ordinary people or lower class.

Occasionally, a luxury car would pass by and be let in through the small door that was opened.

It seems that no matter what time, human relationships and family background will always exist.

Xu Ningchen squeezed in to get the news, and when he came out, he was sweating profusely. "They are all the people living around Xuhu County. They suddenly received news of riots in the capital a few days ago, and they brought their families to Xuhu County for refuge.

Two days ago, the gates of Xuhu County were tightly closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave. They had no choice but to wait at the gate. "

It is impossible to force your way in. Xu Hujun has strong soldiers and horses. Ordinary people will be stopped by armored guards before they even get close to the city gate. As for the wealthy families who can still enter the city smoothly, they are not on the same level as ordinary people and there is no need to discuss them.

Shen Yao frowned when he heard that. They had finally arrived at Xuhu County. If they couldn't enter the city smoothly, the time spent going around would increase infinitely.

"Can't spend money?"

Shen Yao felt that relaxing their control over money would help them travel faster in the future.

"One hundred taels per person."

Xu Ningchen said an astronomical figure, which made Shen Yao so angry that she rolled her eyes.

Xu Hujun is crazy about money!

Xu Ningchen rubbed his forehead and lowered his voice, "Now it's an exclusive transaction. Rich people don't lack this little money. Ordinary people don't have money but have people to sell to." If the two of them wanted to leave Jingzhou through Xuhu County, they had to pay the exorbitant city entrance fee.

Shen Yao sneered, "No wonder there is civil strife in the Sheng Dynasty." If a dynasty is full of corrupt officials who spend money on their own and have no sense of righteousness for the country, who will perish if it doesn't?

Whether the Sheng Dynasty will be destroyed or not has nothing to do with Shen Yao and the others directly.

At this moment, Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen discussed for a long time and decided to pay to go into the city.

It's not just a matter of time, they also need to replenish supplies. The surrounding towns, big and small, are smaller than Xuhu County.

"Where do I pay? How do I get into town?"

Shen Yao was observing the crowd gathering in front of him at this time, and thought that no matter how long he delayed, Xu Hujun would not open the city gates even if he insisted.

Too many people!

As time went by, more and more people came to the outskirts of Xuhu County. If she were the county magistrate of Xuhu County, she would probably not be able to sleep at night.

"Wait until night!"

The one hundred taels of money Xu Ningchen received as an entry fee to the city was pocket money earned by Xu Hujun, and of course it could not be made public.

When it got dark, Xu Ningchen nudged Shen Yao, and the two of them pulled the mule cart carefully around the crowd and finally came to the side door.

There were already people waiting there to collect the money, and to hand over the goods.

"You have three days to get out of the city as soon as possible. If you dare not leave, humph!"

The man who was speaking had a fierce face, and the scoundrel feeling he exuded made Shen Yao feel disgusted.

Tu

It turns out that the one hundred taels is not the entrance fee to the city, but just a temporary expense. The people in Xuhu County are really evil!

Although he was muttering to himself, he still smiled and handed over the two hundred taels of silver.

The people who received the silver grinned, saying that their business was fair and honest, and that they would be allowed to enter the city as long as they paid the money. However, the small families in Xuhu County could not accommodate so many people, so they should flee to the south as soon as possible.

scare!

There are still a few border counties in the south, and the people living in them will move to neighboring countries with their families unless they really have no way to escape.

Compared with the prosperous dynasty which is now setting, the neighboring countries are like the newly-born sun, full of vitality. They treat ordinary people well, and who wouldn’t want to live a stable and prosperous life?

Those who paid the money looked at each other, and no one dared to tell anyone about this apparent defection. What if it was a scam?

"Tsk! Go into the city quickly, and remember not to stay for more than three days.

Anyone who dares to play tricks on this should not blame Xu Hujun’s prison for being ruthless.”

After saying those harsh words, the man calmly waved his hand, and the side door that was originally tightly closed opened a gap, just enough for one of them to pass through.

What are you waiting for? There is no need to stand outside the door at this time.

Several people lined up and quickly entered the city. They thought Xuhu County would be quiet after dark, but they didn't expect that the city was brightly lit and full of lively conversations, which was completely different from the outside world.

Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery before them. They hurried to find the shops they needed and spent money to buy supplies.

I found a relatively quiet inn to stay in and waited to leave early the next morning.

The more intense the situation in Xuhu County is, the sooner they want to escape.

There is no way. Those people outside are like time bombs. Once Xu Hujun can’t suppress them, they will suffer backlash.

Who doesn't know this truth? Maybe they just want to gamble more.

I bet that those people wouldn't dare, that the civil unrest in the capital would soon be quelled, and that I was capable enough not to be afraid of failure... Shen Yao opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar room in a daze.

Oh, they had already entered the city last night and were currently resting in an inn in the city.

Xu Ningchen beside her had already woken up, and like Shen Yao, he was confused for a moment.

This is the sequelae of fleeing for a long time. They have never stayed in one place for a long time. Even when they lived in Tangjia Village, they still spent a lot of energy on drawing talismans and gathering information.

"Get up"

Xu Ningchen reached out and pulled Shen Yao over. The two went to the inn lobby to have dinner, and then left amid the gossip of a group of people.

The content of gossip is nothing more than the wealthy people in the city and the common people outside the city.

There are more and more people, and even though some people are constantly leaving, the overall number is still visibly increasing.

The wealthy families in the city were kind-hearted and could not bear to see such suffering in the world, so almost every day women from their families would go out of the city to give out porridge and food.

However, this approach only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, and it only exacerbates the continuous gathering of people.

People on the outside are just watching the fun, but people on the inside have already figured out a lot of the tricks.

Some who planned to bet on both sides have already sent their descendants away from Xuhu County. Only the foolish people of Xuhu know nothing.

"Line up to leave the city, only out, no in!"

Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen lined up, with officials maintaining order in front.

The three gates leading into the city are heavily guarded and require money to enter, while the south gate leading out of the city has long queues during the day, and the amount of money contained in them is simply excessive.

We are not fools!

Half an hour later, it was Shen Yao's turn. After the officer checked the shabby carriage inside and out, he glanced at it with a proud look and said, "Go!"

Tsk, what bad luck for a poor peasant without any benefits!

Shen Yao:......

She didn't want to see this person yet. She had paid to enter the city.

Sitting on the mule cart, swaying onto the official road, looking back at the Xuhu County City that was getting farther and farther away, Shen Yao sighed helplessly.

Xu Ningchen handed over a bottle of water and said, "We won't be alone on the road this time."

My goodness, there are horse-drawn carriages everywhere, some fast and some slow, densely packed throughout the official road.

The closer they got to the border, the worse the road conditions became. They were thankful that they had not yet left Jingzhou, because Qingzhou ahead was the worst.

After three days of traveling among the crowd, the originally gloomy weather started to rain again.

But unlike the previous hot and humid rain, this rain brought unprecedented coolness, as if it was sucking away the heat in the air.

嘶

Shen Yao shivered while hiding in the carriage, and quickly took out the thick clothes that were previously stored in the space backpack and handed them to Xu Ningchen who was driving the car.

The sudden drop in temperature obviously caught everyone else off guard.

Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen had anticipated this. When they left Willow Village, they took whatever they could. Now Shen Yao's space backpack was filled with all kinds of supplies, and all the food, clothing and daily necessities were enough for the two of them to spend a year or so in this dungeon.

However, the three-month copy period should not be suddenly extended.

With a sigh, Shen Yao felt a little lacking in confidence, because she could only be cannon fodder.

The soft and thick quilt wrapped around her body was very warm. Shen Yao buried her head in it, leaned sideways in the car and closed her eyes to rest.

The mule cart traveled slowly and did not stop to rest until dark.

Xu Ningchen asked Shen Yao for a batch of cloth to make clothes for the two mules.

They are afraid of the cold and need to wear more clothes, and the mules are afraid of the cold which will also affect their daily journey.

shhhhh--

Shen Yao watched Xu Ningchen do it himself and soon wrapped the mule with the cloth that was almost cut, leaving only the limbs and head exposed.

Having said that, the two of them have been traveling in the dungeon for more than two months, and the attacks they have received can be said to be very few and far between, and basically, it can be said that everything has been very peaceful.

"If I can keep walking like this, this dungeon can be considered a vacation."

Although the trip was a bit rushed and they encountered various emergencies occasionally, they were still much more relaxed than other people's various escape adventures.

"The copy shouldn't be like this," Xu Ningchen also wanted to live an easier life, at least not too tired, and be more friendly to Shen Yao, a pregnant woman.

The two of them slept in the carriage at night, with a simple mattress underneath them and a thin quilt with an additional layer of cotton wrapped around them to prevent themselves from catching a cold accidentally.

After sleeping like this for two or three days, Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen couldn't bear it anymore.

The cooling effect brought by this rain is too obvious, the temperature has reached below zero.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao pointed at the official road ahead and was struggling over whether to move into the city. At least there would be a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

"What we're afraid of is that some people will take advantage of the situation," and the group of people who had been traveling together scattered because of this sudden cold shoulder.

Among them, many people moved into nearby towns, planning to wait until the temperature rises before continuing their journey.

After all, abnormal climate will not last long, just like the previous droughts and rainstorms. If it had not triggered a chain reaction that led to trouble in the capital, they would still be enjoying themselves in Xuhu County.

The younger generation can't think as far ahead as their elders, they prefer to focus on eating, drinking and having fun. The current drop in temperature gives them an opportunity, who is willing to travel in the wind and rain? They must live in the largest house in the town and have someone to serve them.

Because these people moved into towns, they had fewer and fewer people traveling with them on the road.

Now there are only a few horse-drawn carriages left on the official road, and Shen Yao sometimes feels it is deserted when she sees it.

"Keep going. With so many wealthy people coming to these towns, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble."

Rather than being taken advantage of, Shen Yao was more worried that the tyrannical upper class would act with contempt and be the first to file a complaint.

The two of them were not strong enough to afford to offend these powerful people with backers, so they decided to continue on their journey despite the wind and rain.

After muttering a few words silently in her heart, Shen Yao changed her mind and without Xu Ningchen's persuasion, she ran towards the Qingzhou area ahead with all her heart.
