Through the otherworldly peerless

"My lord," Xi came in from the outside, "the meal is ready."

Xiangkang: "Look at me, talking caringly, you must be hungry, right? Xi, go and serve all the food."

Tin: "Yes, my lord."

Wushuang looked at the food that was served, and it seemed to be worse than last night. Corn porridge was still the staple food, and it was thin enough to be used as a mirror. The buffalo beef was replaced with rabbit meat with a much worse taste. There is a foul smell, especially the boiled rabbit meat, and two wild vegetables, said to be wild vegetables, because they really look like wild vegetables, the leaves are black and green, and there is no moisture.

Wu Shuang smacked his lips, feeling a little offended: "Master Xiangkang, I just wanted to say last night that your food was too poor. Last night there was beef and pork, but today is even worse. Why is there only rabbit meat left?" What? How can people eat this?"

Xiangkang sighed: "Your Excellency, I don't know. I don't know why the land in Baicheng is. The crops planted every year can't even reap [-]% of the crops. They can't even pay the tribute every year. The official Muzheng sent down saw it with his own eyes. , Most of the granaries in the City Lord's Mansion are empty, and many civilians starve to death every year, as for the corn you eat now, I sent people to Qingzhou to buy it back with silver."

Wushuang snapped: "No way? Why, how come you are so poor?"

Xiangkang wept with a mournful face: "There is no food to be grown in the land, and the land is barren, but it is still a sinful city, and even businessmen are unwilling to come, so how can it not be poor? There are some things that you can't laugh at, my lord. Now that I’m here, I’ll just eat the corn porridge, I can’t bear to eat and drink like this on weekdays.”

Wushuang pointed to the porridge that could see his face: "Is this still called eating and drinking?"

Xiangkang: "That's not true. At least you can see rice grains in your bowl. Usually, what I eat is almost all vegetable leaves."

Wushuang's face was wrinkled into a bun: "So miserable?"

Xiangkang lamented: "Hey, there's nothing you can do about it. It's a good thing you didn't come here until after winter. If it's snowing heavily in winter, you won't even have the vegetables to eat!"

Wushuang was speechless.

The restaurant suddenly fell into a silence shrouded in poverty.

You Jiuba once again said something astonishing: "Since Mr. Xiangkang is poor and can only drink wild vegetable soup every day, why do I think Mr. Xiangkang has a ruddy complexion and a plump body, and he doesn't look like a hungry person at all?"

Xiangkang's old face darkened: "This..."

Wushuang said: "Jiuba, you don't understand this. Some people are fat-prone and grow fat even after drinking water. I think Master Xiangkang should have this kind of physique. Hey, for a while, I didn't know whether to sympathize with you or not. I should be lucky for you, Mr. Xiangkang."

Xiang Kangqian smiled, the corners of his eyes twitched a little, and he gave You Jiuba a secret look, feeling that this servant really doesn't know how to flatter him!Relying on his good looks, he was spoiled by Baili Wushuang to the point of lawlessness!

"I'm full." Wushuang put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said to Xiang Kang, "Master Xiang Kang, eat slowly."

Xiangkang looked at the almost untouched food in front of Wushuang, and asked in surprise, "Does your lord only eat this much?"

Wushuang endlessly said: "Well, I don't have much appetite."

Xiangkang sneered in his heart: Do you think this useless prince was frightened by what he said just now?It's really useless that I can't even eat.

On the surface, he tried to persuade: "Your Excellency, let's have a few more bites, after all, we still have a long way to go in the afternoon."

"Walking?" Wushuang was surprised, "Where are you going?"

Xiangkang said with a smile: "My lord was ordered by the king to take over Baicheng. Now that my lord has arrived, I will naturally hand over all the big and small affairs of this Baicheng to my lord. After lunch later, I will take you to the prison to see Look at those criminals and slaves."

Wushuang said nervously: "I, why did I go to see those criminals and slaves? Didn't you say that they are dangerous? What if they want to kill me?"

Xiangkang: "Don't worry, my lord, I will arrange soldiers to guard your safety, and even if you don't see me today, after you take over the official duties of Baicheng, I will see you anyway."

Wushuang: "I don't see you, I don't want to see those cruel villains and dirty slaves!"

Xiangkang: "My lord, although slaves are dirty, they can be sold for money. If you want to eat corn in the future, you have to rely on these slaves."

Wushuang was puzzled: "Slave sale?"

"Yes, my lord," Xiangkang said, "this is His Majesty...Of course, it is a gift from the previous Majesty to Baicheng. In addition to the criminals sent over every year, the efforts of the captured monsters and spirits, They will also be sent to Baicheng."

"Why?" Wushuang asked, "They also broke the law?"

"Of course not." Xiang Kang smiled a little uncomfortable, "They are disobedient and refuse to submit to us. We can only let them stay with those vicious people and let those wicked people train them well. In this way, slaves Only then will they become obedient, my lord, this is called treating evil with evil, only obedient slaves can be sold at a good price."

Looking at the complacency on Xiangkang's face, Wushuang never felt that a person could make him feel sick and disgusted so much since he was a child.

What does it mean to cure evil with evil?In the final analysis, it was nothing more than racial discrimination. The human race used "betrayal" as an excuse for everything, wantonly bullied the spirit race and the demon race, and even the villains who were afraid of themselves sent those innocent spirit race and demon race to the world. In their hands, let them abuse wantonly?What is the difference between such a person and the villains they call?

"My lord, my lord?"

"Unparalleled."

You Jiuba gently squeezed Wushuang's palm under the table, and Wushuang recovered from his disgust.

"My lord, are you alright?" Xiangkang looked at Wushuang who looked dazed, thinking that he was still afraid of going to the prison, so he kindly comforted him, "Don't worry, my lord, the soldiers will definitely protect your safety. And those criminals are all wearing shackles, they can't even move conveniently, how can they still have the ability to kill you?"

Wushuang licked his lips and said hoarsely, "Then, let's go and have a look."

Xiangkang: "Yes, my lord."

So after lunch, Xiangkang arranged a carriage and took Wushuang to the prison.

Before getting on the carriage, Wushuang asked Xiangkang if he could call Wu Hui. Without accident, Xiangkang refused. He told Wushuang that he had arranged for the most powerful general in Baicheng to guard Wushuang's safety. Hui, the journey was too tiring, so it is better to let Wu Hui take a good rest, and it will not be too late to protect Wushuang after resting.

Wushuang didn't force it. In fact, he and Xiangkang were not in the mansion, which was a good thing for Wu to come back.

Afterwards, Wushuang asked You Jiuba to ride in the carriage with him. Xiangkang did not refuse this time, and thoughtfully let Wushuang and You Jiuba be alone, and he took another carriage by himself.

In Xiangkang's carriage, Xi, as a considerate servant, really knelt at Xiangkang's feet and waited for orders at any time.

Xiangkang jokingly said: "Xi, have you seen that? Our unceremonious prince, going to such a dangerous place as the prison pen, the guards and generals can't take it, but the beauty must take it. How "pity the fragrance and cherish the jade" is that? "

Xi covered her lips with a low smile: "Isn't it, my lord, this is probably the so-called, a hero is saddened by a beauty, right?"

"Hero?" Xiangkang sneered, "I'll let you see later, what is a bear! Are the prisons all arranged?"

Xi: "It's all arranged, don't worry, my lord."

Xiangkang snorted softly: "I'm always at ease when you do things. Let's wait and watch the show later, and see if I don't scare your kid's piss out!"

Xi pretended to exclaim: "That's really going to be thrown into the face of the Wang family."

Xiangkang sneered: "The face of the Wang family? Does he still have that thing?"

Xi complimented: "What your lord said is true, it is Xi who is stupid."

Xiangkang was very helpful, and squinted at Xi: "Okay, don't deliberately flatter me, just your stupid head, I don't know what you are thinking yet?"

Xi smiled cheekily: "My lord is wise."

In another carriage, Wushuang was next to You Jiuba, and they sat side by side, You Jiuba asked in a low voice, "Why did you suddenly decide to go?"

Originally, Wushuang really didn't intend to go, but pretended to be a coward, and just let Xiangkang laugh hard behind his back.

You Jiubai said: "You shouldn't go, Xiangkang persuades you to go wholeheartedly, it makes people feel very uncomfortable."

Wushuang sighed lightly: "It's uncomfortable, maybe he's trying to scare me with evil intentions. From yesterday to now, Xiangkang kept telling me how poor and dangerous Baicheng is, and he almost didn't Make up a ghost story and scare me so much that I can run away."

You Jiuba frowned: "He is really annoying."

This is the first time You Jiubai said clearly who he hates so clearly, Wushuang couldn't help but looked at him and chuckled: "That's why you deliberately picked on him, and said those words so that he can't get down? I didn't expect that our family If Jiuba doesn’t make a sound, it’s a blockbuster, and I feel happy when I hate people! You don’t know, but what you said is exactly what I want to ask, but unfortunately I can’t say it, I can only endure it, it feels uncomfortable .”

You Jiuba looked at Wushuang and smiled lightly: "Those words were originally asked for you."

Wushuang was taken aback: "What?"

You Jiuba: "If you want to pretend to be stupid in front of him, you can ask many questions directly, so I will ask you for you. If you can't say it, I will help you say it."

"Jiuba!" Wushuang cheered and hugged You Jiubai's neck, "How can you be so considerate! You are just, like a roundworm in my stomach!"

You Jiuba: "Worm?" You Jiuba doesn't know what roundworms are, but the worms in the stomach are probably not good things.

Wushuang withdrew his head, his arm was still on You Jiuba's shoulder, and he smirked at people: "In short, you are very good, very good, very very good!"

You Jiuba: "You're trying to please me after saying the wrong thing? It's too late."

After finishing speaking, he wrapped his arms around Wushuang's waist with both hands, and pulled him into his arms again, You Jiudiao lowered his head and kissed Wushuang.
