Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!

Zhao Sheng stood there, his steps heavy as if carrying a thousand pounds of weight, unwilling to move forward.

There are actually two reasons for this.

First, Hejian was located on the border, where fighting was frequent. Although Yanzhou Commandery was located in the front and provided some resistance, the Yan army was too weak to resist the enemy.

Secondly, he had heard Li Fu say that Hejian was a chaotic place. Whenever there was a famine, it became a transit point for refugees and a good place to gather troops. Therefore, in Zhao Sheng's eyes, no matter where he went, there was no place for him to stay.

"I should have fled south earlier. Why did I listen to Li Fu's advice?" Zhao Sheng regretted it at this moment.

Forget it, let’s just make the best of it.

"Old man, when settling in the village, should I go to the village head or the village head?"

Since ancient times, most people who came to the north were criminals with deep criminal records, and it was difficult to track them down once they had escaped.

Zhao Sheng was a time traveler, so he naturally knew that the living conditions in the south were better than those in the north. It was just that he was a little confused at the time and listened to Li Fu's words, so he came to Hejian and was taken care of by his family.

Now that we have arrived at Shigang Village, we might as well take a rest first.

The old man took him to find a temporary village chief in Shigang Village, named Zhao Youcai. He was expelled from the village next door because of a mistake he made in Zhao Village, so he settled here with his son.

At that time, there was a lack of management in this area, so the county government appointed Zhao Youcai as the acting village chief.

"What's your name?" Zhao Youcai asked Zhao Sheng, who had just walked into the courtyard, with a long tail tone.

"I am Zhao Sheng, a member of the Zhao family of Yuzhou."

Yuzhou is a general term, also known as Zhongzhou. Zhao Kuangyin was from this place. The Zhao surname in Zhao County here is the birthplace of the ancient Zhao State. Therefore, the Zhao people in Zhao County despise people with the surname Zhao who came from Yuzhou.

"Haha, so you're from Yuzhou, Zhao. Okay, you settle down first, and go to the county government office to register tomorrow."

After Zhao Youcai finished speaking, he sent Zhao Sheng away without making any registration. However, when he turned around and saw Zhao Zhen, he immediately stopped Zhao Sheng.

"Who is the woman accompanying you? Does she have an ID card?"

Seeing that he was not asked about his ID card, but Zhao Zhen was asked, Zhao Sheng knew that he had bad intentions. He smiled and stepped forward: "This is my sister, so naturally she belongs to my identity." He did not say much else, but gave her a look that was neither humble nor arrogant, but with a hint of murderous intent.

Seeing this look, Zhao Youcai felt a little flustered and hurriedly shouted to his son beside him: "Erniu, what are you doing? Can't you see that your father is busy?" What he meant was that there were not only his sons in the village, but also other people.

At this shout, the villagers who were originally watching the fun started chattering. They were all outsiders and no one wanted to be the first to speak out.

Zhao Youfu is Zhao Youcai's elder brother and also from Zhaojiazhuang. He was implicated by Zhao Youcai and was forced to come to this barren place.

He had just heard that Zhao Sheng was from Yuzhou, and a trace of uneasiness rose in his heart. He stepped forward and advised, "Second brother, don't make trouble. We are all members of the Zhao family. We also left here to make our fortune."

Zhao Youfu was very good at talking, and he immediately brought in the Zhao family of Zhao Sheng.

However, he didn't know what Zhao Youcai was thinking. Zhao Youcai had taken a fancy to Zhao Zhen and wanted to make her his daughter-in-law.

Zhao Sheng ignored the group of people and simply said, "If you dare to disrespect me today, I will make sure you die without a burial place in the future."

Zhao Youcai instantly felt dissatisfied with what he said. Zhao Youfu was beside him again, so he shouted again, "Everyone in the village who can fight, come out. Where are those two bastards, Zhao Long and Zhao Hu?"

He thought that when he shouted, everyone in the village would stand up to support him, but in the end, everyone remained where they were, and no one wanted to run into this bad luck.

Zhao Sheng quickly pulled out a short blade from his waist and threw it to the ground.

"I'm giving you a chance. You can kill me with a knife, but I won't move. I'll just stand here."

The short blade on the ground flashed a fierce light in the sunlight. The handle was inlaid with rhinoceros horn and engraved with dark patterns. The crotch guard looked golden, like gold.

"This..." Zhao Youfu is not only a little older, but also has some experience. He is definitely not an ordinary person with such a weapon.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Zhao Youfu stepped forward and asked with a bow.

"If I tell you who I am, it will bring disaster to this place. Some of you may not be able to see the sun tomorrow." Zhao Sheng did not reveal his identity directly. He was just thinking that if he made such a fuss, he might not be able to stay.

His voice was like the cold night wind, with a biting chill that made Zhao Youfu shiver.

Beads of sweat began to roll down Zhao Youfu's forehead, and his eyes were filled with fear and confusion. He knew that the young man before him was no ordinary person.

Zhao Youcai was a scoundrel who didn't believe what Zhao Sheng said. He found a stool and sat down with his legs spread out, mocking him and saying, "Then let me see what kind of person you are that can make people not see the sun tomorrow."

Although Zhao Erniu is the son of Zhao Youcai, his personality is not like Zhao Youcai at all. And because Zhao Youcai forced his mother to death, he has hated his father to some extent in his heart over the years.

Hearing what Zhao Sheng said, he ran over, clasped his fists, and said to Zhao Sheng, "As long as you have the power to prevent this person from living beyond tomorrow, we will all respect you."

When Zhao Youfu heard Erniu say this, he realized how much this kid hated his father. But after all, they were family, and he must not let Zhao Erniu act recklessly.

"Zhao Long, Zhao Hu, carry my brother out."

Although Zhao Youfu is not the village chief, his surname is Zhao after all, and he has good character and enjoys a very high prestige in the village.

Zhao Sheng was just about to take out his identity card from his bag when he suddenly remembered that he had been using this thing to show off all the way through the city. Now he was no longer a prince. If he was discovered, it would bring trouble to himself and the village.

So he pulled Zhao Youfu and said, "I don't care whether you recognize this thing or not. Anyone who knows about this thing will basically be unable to breathe."

Zhao Youfu became alert when he heard this. He saw that Zhao Sheng was quite old and was followed by a woman, with no one else. So he asked, "You are so powerful, but why are you traveling alone?"

"This is the difference between heaven and earth. How can you see the person behind me? Actually, I am not seeing you as a direct descendant of the Zhao family. Look, with him like that, if I reveal myself, I guess no one in the village will be alive."

Zhao Sheng finished speaking, revealing a corner of the badge in his hand. "Take a look at my badge. What's the difference between it and the ones you've seen?"

When Zhao Youfu saw that the certificate was made of gold and heard what Zhao Sheng said, he knew that this thing was definitely not an ordinary item. If he dared to open his mouth, someone would probably die.

He didn't want his brother to die in such an untimely way, so he knelt down quickly and was about to speak.

Zhao Sheng only whispered, "I was sent by my father to investigate the people's sentiments. Please don't reveal my identity."

Zhao Youfu understood and said, "My dear lord, please let Zhao Youcai go. He is a bastard. Everyone in this village will obey you in the future."

The people outside the yard were refugees from different places. They didn't care who had the final say in the village, as long as someone could make them live a good life.

However, Zhao Youcai was not happy after hearing this. He suddenly stood up and asked, "Why?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Youfu slapped him and said, "If you still want your head, listen to this noble man. His words are the highest order in this village."

After saying that, he was still worried that Zhao Youcai would make trouble, so he shouted, "Zhao Long, Zhao Hu, Zhao Erniu, you keep an eye on this bastard. From now on, don't let him step out of this yard."

As the eldest brother, he managed his unruly younger brother effectively according to Zhou law.
