The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Thinking of Jiang Guang, Cui Zhu began to sob again: "My king, my king, Wu Zi regrets this, sob ...

"I regret listening to Qing Feng's instigation and having murderous thoughts towards you, wuwuwu..."

"Now I, a humble minister, have also suffered retribution. My entire family has been wiped out, my king. Wuwuwu..."

"If you're crazy, then so be it. Why should I care so much, my king? Wuwuwu..."

"If you like to give my hat to someone, go ahead. At worst, I'll be cuckolded for the rest of my life. What's wrong with that, my king? Woo woo woo..."

"And Tang Jiang, if you like, just drink it. It's like eating... No, I'm wrong, it's like sleeping, wuwuwu..."

"Isn't it just a woman? I have plenty of them at home. Why am I so stubborn? Why not just give her to you, my king? Wuwuwu..."

The more Cui Zhu thought about it, the more regretful he felt, and the sadder he became. After crying for a long time, he looked around the dilapidated prime minister's residence with sad eyes.

Immediately, an inexplicable feeling of despair surged into my heart. It was over, everything was gone.

Parents, wife, son, grandson, money and status, all are gone!

What's the point of living alone? Think about how you've spent your whole life striving for power and status.

I tried every possible means, calculating this and that, but in the end I was calculated by others.

If you know this will be the final result, you might as well be an ordinary citizen.

Although the common people eat worse and wear more worn clothes, they will not suffer the tragic disaster of being wiped out in the end.

The more he thought about it, the more discouraged and hopeless he became. What was the point of living when he had nothing left? It would be better to just die and be done with it.

Thinking of this, he untied his belt, found a good place to die, and hanged himself.

After Cui Zhu's death, Qing Feng, as the only prime minister beside Duke Jing of Qi, took control of the government and lived an even more licentious and arrogant life.

One day, he went to Lu Pu's house to drink, and Lu Pu's wife asked her to accompany him.

When Qingfeng saw that Lu Pu'er's wife was so beautiful, he fell in love with her.

Seeing this, Lu Pu'er winked at his wife and left the table on the pretext of going to the toilet.

Qingfeng was very pleased to see that Lu Pu'er was so sensible.

He held the beauty in his arms and asked gently, "Beauty, are you willing to enjoy the pleasures of this world with me in the future?"

Mrs. Lu lowered her head shyly and said in a sweet voice, "Since the Prime Minister is pleased with me, I will obey your orders."

After hearing this, Qingfeng laughed happily, turned over suddenly and pressed the beauty under him.

Lu Pu'er saw it clearly from outside the window. He raised the corner of his mouth and thought to himself, "You son of a bitch, I'm not afraid that you won't take the bait."

After leaving Fugui City, Zixu and his sister talked and laughed happily in the carriage.

"Brother Xu, this is the first time I've left Fugui City since I was a child. This time I really want to appreciate the outside world."

Zixu bared his teeth and said with a smile: "Ye'er, this is also the first time for brother to leave Fugui City."

"I'm so happy to be able to enjoy this great time with my sister."

"Yeah, same here. Brother Xu, do you think Mother and Grandma will cry when we leave?"

Zixu smiled and pinched his sister's cheek: "Silly girl, do you think it's you, crying all the time?"

"Grandma might shed tears, but mother won't. She might be sad, but she won't cry."

Ziye asked puzzledly: "Mom loves you so much, why don't you cry?"

"Because mother is the king. How can a ruler of a country cry all the time?"

Oh, Ziye snuggled in Zixu's arms and looked at the scene outside: "Brother Xu, why is the land of Qi so desolate?"

"Unlike our wealthy city, where fruits and vegetables are everywhere, and the fields are also full of crops and medicinal herbs."

Zixu looked outside and said proudly, "Ye'er, because mother has reclaimed all the barren hills and wastelands in the city."

"The green plant coverage area has reached more than 90 percent."

"Our Fugui City is already the richest region on this continent."

Ziye nodded and said, "Brother Xu, from now on, we will live in a strange country like Lu. Will you regret it?"

Zixu shook his head: "I don't know, maybe, maybe not."

"Oh, never mind. Now that we're out here, we have to adapt to our new living environment."

"Then, Brother Xu, what can we do when we get to Lu? We can't just sit back and eat up all the food."

"Don't worry, Ye'er. Brother is proficient in both literature and martial arts."

"After I find Prince Qiu, I'll ask him to recommend a job for me. I should have no problem supporting my sister."

"Ye'er can also find a job and support herself."

Zixu touched his sister's hair lovingly and said, "Silly girl, why do you need to go out to work when your brother is here?"

"From now on, I will be responsible for making money to support the family, and you will be responsible for looking beautiful, hehe."

Ziye buried his head in Zixu's arms with a face full of happiness: "Thank you, brother Xu..."

After several days of hard travel, the six masters and servants finally left Qi and arrived in Lu.

It was already evening when they arrived at Jiagu City, and they found an inn to stay in.

Zixu booked a superior guest room for Ziye alone and did not live with her.

My sister is not even seventeen years old this year, and they are not married yet.

From what I learned in school, I understand that my sister is not suitable for childbearing at her age, and I can't do anything rash.

The guards and maids found it very strange. Why were they sleeping in separate rooms after eloping? Hehe, they didn't understand.

Because I have been in a hurry to travel these days, I have been eating in a hurry. Today I can finally have a comfortable stew.

Zixu called the waiter over and said, "Hey, what are the special dishes in your inn? Bring us one of each. Let us know when they're ready."

“Okay!” The waiter agreed and left.

He came to the front desk and whispered in the shopkeeper's ear, "Boss, I've seen clearly. There are six of them in total."

"An old couple, two maids, and two guards."

"The large boxes on the carriage are quite heavy. They look like they are filled with gold, silver and valuables."

Well, the shopkeeper nodded: "It seems that this is a fat sheep. Do you know their identity?"

"I don't know his identity, but from his accent he sounds like he's from Qi. Judging from his attire, he must be a wealthy businessman visiting relatives or moving."

"Alright! We'll start at three o'clock tonight. Remember, don't kill anyone. We're only after money."

"Understood, Boss. They just ordered a table full of delicious food and wine. I'll go prepare it for them right away."

An hour later, the waiter knocked on Zixu's door and said, "Sir, the food is ready. Would you like to eat in the dining hall downstairs, or have it brought to your room?"

Zixu thought about it and realized that he and his sister were on the run and it would be difficult for them to show up in public. He waved his hand and said, "Bring it to the guest room."

"Alright, sir, please wait a moment, the food will be here soon!"
