Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

Bi Yue told them, "After you put on this robe, you can become invisible or reappear as you wish according to your own will. I am worried that there may be uncertainties in the surrounding countries, so I give this robe to you just in case."

"Thank you, Master. I like this gift very much."

"Thank you Yue'er." My daughter-in-law is so thoughtful.

Starting from the capital of Ulan Kingdom, we flew for two hours and saw lights flashing in the distance. The system prompted that the county town of Sheng Kingdom was ahead. We flew over the county town. Although it was already midnight, lanterns were hung on every road in the city.

From what we can see now, the layout and urban architecture of this city are no different from those of Changping State.

Biyue asked Luo Chen softly, "Are you familiar with the situation in this country?"

Luo Chen smiled awkwardly and said to Bi Yue, "Yue'er, I joined the army when I was 15, and then went to the seaside, and I got injured in the head. I have never been exposed to these things before, so I don't know how to answer you."

Bi Yue thought that what he said made sense. He was well protected by his family before he was 15 years old. His parents would definitely not tell him about these court affairs. After he joined the army, he went to the seaside not long after and lost his memory. It took more than three years, so it was better not to ask her.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know. When we return to the capital, I will ask the emperor in person."

Luo Chen thought for a moment and said to Bi Yue, "The palace should have a map of the surrounding countries."

Forget it. Since I have come to the border, I might as well find out more about it first.

The three of them felt that it was too late and it would not be a good idea to rush into the city to find an inn, so they could only drive the flying carpet to a place on the top of a nearby mountain, landed, took out a piece of paper with a house drawn on it and threw it out, and it turned into a house with three bedrooms and a living room. They covered the house with a protective shield. After washing up, the three of them went to bed. If there was anything, they would go to the county town to find out tomorrow.

In the summer morning, the sun rises early. At six o'clock, the sky is already bright. Luo Chen gets up at the reminder of the alarm clock. Chen Chen gets up very early and sits in the bedroom to practice.

Bi Yue was still sleeping. It was past eight o'clock when Luo Chen knocked on her door. She looked at the time on the bedside table and saw that it was almost nine o'clock. She got up, dressed, and washed up before coming to the living room.

Bi Yue ordered a hearty breakfast from the system. After the three of them finished eating, they folded up the house, put it in their treasure bag, took out the flying carpet, and the three of them stood on it, turned on the protective shield, and flew away from the county town.

They landed in the woods outside the city, put away the flying carpet, took out the carriage, Chen Chen drove in front, Biyue and Luo Chen sat in the carriage, and drove towards the city gate.

On the way, we met many ordinary people, some carrying loads on their shoulders, some pushing carts, wearing simple coarse cloth clothes, some of which were patched up, and straw sandals. None of the people entering the city drove ox carts. It seems that the people here don't have a good life either.

They also walked towards the city gate. The three of them observed the appearance of these people. They were different from the people from Changping and Ulan. They looked a bit like the people from Xinjiang in their previous lives. They had deep eyebrows and eyes, high nose bridges, and the men were relatively tall, and the women were not short either.

When we got to the city gate, we saw the words "Liang County" written on it. There were soldiers at the gate, so ordinary people could go in directly. But the drivers had to pay 20 coins, which was quite expensive. Now that I think about it,

No wonder everyone on the road was walking and no one was driving an ox cart or a mule cart. In any case, ordinary people would not drive a cart pulled by any animal. The city entrance fee was so high, and ordinary country folk who farmed were unwilling to pay these 20 cents.

After entering the city, I found that it was quite prosperous. There were rich families giving out porridge in the square outside their stores. There were many shops, people coming and going, and there were also people with the same skin color as me, who could be distinguished at a glance.

It was still early, no more than 10 o'clock at the latest. They parked the car in front of a teahouse. The waiter came out to greet them warmly. Chen Chen followed the waiter to the backyard, where the carriages were parked, parked the car, asked the waiter to take care of the horses, and gave him 100 coins. The waiter enthusiastically said that he would take good care of the horses.

Biyue and Luochen went up to the second floor and found a seat near the front desk. There were not many people on the second floor, so they sat down. There happened to be three people talking loudly next to them. After they sat down, they listened carefully to what they were saying.

Then the man in the white gown next to them said to the two, "Do you know? The Ulan Kingdom went to war with the Changping Kingdom and was defeated. Now there are only five cities left to be conquered. It looks like a sign of the country's demise."

"The regent of our Shengguo was farsighted. He did not help Jingguo attack Changpingguo. Otherwise, Yuchi would have been affected."

Biyue and Luo Chen looked at each other. It turned out that the regent was in power in this country. So, the emperor of this country must be very young.

At this time, Chen Chen went up to the second floor. Luo Chen saw him and waved to him. He came over. After the three of them sat down, he was about to speak, but Luo Chen made a gesture to silence him. At this time, another man in light blue clothes next to him spoke,

"Ziqing, you are right. Fortunately, the court is under the control of the regent and did not help the already destroyed Jingguo."

Another person added, "But the conflict between the Queen Mother and the Regent is very deep. The Queen Mother's mother's family is the royal family of Jingguo. Because she did not help her motherland last time and Jingguo was destroyed, the Queen Mother has been blaming the Regent for not helping her motherland, which led to the destruction of her motherland.

"That's all nonsense. I heard that there is a goddess with great magical powers in Changping. The Taoist priests of Qishan in Pingnan died at her hands. The Queen Mother relied on her birth of the Emperor and failed to see the situation clearly. She keeps challenging the Regent. The Emperor is caught in the middle and it's not easy for him to behave."

"The emperor is now 10 years old. I heard that the late emperor entrusted his son to the regent before his death. The emperor took power at the age of 15, and the regent agreed at the time."

"Speak softly, softly. If someone hears you and the Queen Mother hears about it, do you want to die?"

The voices of the three people suddenly lowered. Fortunately, Biyue, Luo Chen and Chen Chen had all been nourished by the spiritual spring water, and their ears were more sensitive than those of ordinary people.

What they said next was heard clearly by Bi Yue and the other two.

The old emperor of Sheng State was an infatuated emperor. He had only one queen in his life, and the queen gave birth to only two sons. The eldest son was the late emperor, and the youngest son is the current regent.

The two brothers are about 10 years apart in age, so the current regent is only about 25 years old. He has a wife and two concubines, each of whom gave birth to two sons for him. He has six sons and two daughters, which can be said to be a rich offspring.

His elder brother had two sons. The eldest son was naughty when he was young. He fell down from a tree and broke his leg. The second son was born to the queen. In ancient times, there was a rule that the legitimate son would be appointed as the heir, not the illegitimate son. What's more, the eldest son of the illegitimate son broke his leg, so he had even less hope for the throne.
