Chapter 42 Secret

After the war, Qingya County was slowly recovering. Although the population was still very sparse, some people were already doing business on the streets. The sense of stability brought by the army gave many people confidence, and those who had escaped before also returned one after another. It was more difficult to survive outside the city.

Bandits and wild beasts were deadly dangers to ordinary people, not to mention the houses left by their ancestors in the city. Although many houses were burned down, the deeds were still there.

After enduring some hardships, we can eventually rebuild, and the people are best at enduring hardships.

Chen Luo finished breathing early in the morning and went out.

When he found that he had nowhere to go, he didn't waste time in the village anymore, but decided to look for other ways. For example, his master Ma Quezi might have a way to find some better secrets.

This is also the only high-level warrior who is related to him.

Although Ma Quezi was disabled, there must be people he knew in the past who were still alive. As people connected with each other, a network of relationships was established, just like when his uncle brought him to Master Ma to practice martial arts.

At first, Chen Luo was planning to go to Yanhu County, but two days ago he received news that Ma Quezi and his men were back.

It's not easy to survive in Salt Lake County either. Every city has its own local bosses. As an alien gang, the Shahu Gang encountered resistance from local gangs when it was developing in the past. Although it managed to gain a foothold, it still had some difficulties in supporting so many people.

During this period, everyone who had gone there had a hard time. After hearing about the policy of the new magistrate of Qingya County, the gang leader decided to let some people come back first to see what was going on. At the very least, they couldn't let others take over the rights and interests that belonged to their Shahu Gang.

As for the killing of Magistrate Lou, it has been so long, who would remember it! Even if someone asked about it, it was done by the rebels, what does it have to do with the good people of the Shahu Gang? However, judging from the reaction from above, it doesn't seem like they want to investigate. As soon as the new Magistrate Zhou took office, he started to form his own team and made a lot of money. From beginning to end, he never asked a single question about Magistrate Lou. It is estimated that they have forgotten about it.

When people leave, the tea gets cold, and this saying is especially applicable in official circles.

The main entrance to the county road.

The loess path stretched from the mountains and forests to the foot of the city wall. After the city wall was burned by the war, it was repaired during this period and it was no longer so miserable.

On the official road, some skinny people with pale faces and bodies were carrying bags and crutches, rushing towards the county town with their families. These people were the people of Qingya County who had fled to the surrounding countryside to avoid the war, and now they had heard the news and were rushing back.

Some slightly wealthier families even rented donkey carts, loaded their belongings with their wives and children and rode on them to continue their journey.

From a distance, it looks like ants moving, quite lively.

Chen Luo also mingled among these people.

The house that Chen Laosan rented was also in the countryside. After he went out in the morning, he got on the donkey cart and traveled slowly with the people who fled famine.

“Get out of the way!”

The scene was broken, and a luxurious red carriage came from behind. The driver was shouting loudly, waving the whip in his hand, and some people who were slow to give way were whipped. However, these ordinary people were used to it, and even if they were whipped, they quickly rolled to the side to avoid being hit by the carriage and causing secondary injuries.

The owner of the donkey cart that Chen Luo was riding in was very observant. As soon as he heard the sound, he controlled the donkey cart to pull to the side.

You can't mess with people on horseback.

This is common sense for ordinary people. No one would bother others for such a small matter as giving way. Ordinary people are most concerned about their own lives. Only those who have solved the problem of food and clothing and pursue spiritual life will care about these "faces".

In the carriage, a young man in elegant clothes and a scholar with a black beard sat opposite each other.

The middle-aged scholar sat cross-legged, eyes closed, calming down. The young man was different. From his expression, it could be seen that he was angry. He pulled open the curtain of the carriage and took a look at the poor and backward scene outside. His dissatisfaction became stronger.

"The old man is becoming more and more biased by throwing me into such a remote place." The young man finally couldn't help but speak out his true feelings.

This young man was none other than the nineteenth son of Prince Ning.

Prince.

The biggest beneficiary behind the Qingya County incident was Prince Ning. The dead Qingya County people were all numbers on the credit list of Prince Ning and his men. Including the current Qingya County Magistrate, they were all profiteering. What's even more ridiculous is that the court issued an official document some time ago, which put an end to the Qingya County rebellion.

Prince Ning's faction made great contributions to the redress of injustice and gained many benefits.

Such a ridiculous thing is going on openly in this country.

The imperial power and the local power were completely blocked.

There are signs of the end of the dynasty.

"Your Highness, be careful with your words."

The middle-aged scholar opened his eyes and looked at the resentful young man, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

This is who he assists.

This kind of mentality is far inferior to that of the other young masters. They are not in the same league at all. The most important thing is that he has no support from his mother's family. It can be said that from the beginning, the fate of this nineteenth young master was doomed. It would be fine if he had no ambition, and he could still be rich and noble in his life. If he had greed that he shouldn't have, the final outcome would definitely not be very good.

This can be seen from the fact that he was exiled to Qingya County this time.

King Ning had sent people to dig away the things in the valley of Qingya County a few days ago. What was left were just some scraps that were basically worthless.

But even so, King Ning was not ready to give up.

Sending the Nineteenth Son here was also a way to squeeze out the surplus value, and to get rid of this not-so-smart son, saving his life in disguise. Unfortunately, the Nineteenth Son could not understand these things, and all he could do was complain. What a fool.

"What's the point of being cautious about what you say? All the resources on the surface have been distributed by the old man to my eldest brother and his friends. As a bastard who is not loved by his father and mother, I can only try my luck at these third-class resource points."

The young prince's face was full of resentment.

"If it's not that my blood concentration is not high enough, huh? Stop the car!"

The Nineteenth Young Master, who was complaining, suddenly changed his expression and then quickly shouted to the coachman.

The speeding carriage quickly stopped under the control of the coachman.

"What's wrong?"

The middle-aged scholar looked at it in confusion.

Young Master Nineteen did not reply to him, but jumped off the carriage and looked around carefully.

Just now, the jade pendant in his arms became hot!

This jade pendant was given by their father, and each of their descendants has one. Ordinary people would only think that it was the prince's love, but the Nineteenth Prince knew the secret behind this matter.

Immortal fate!

As long as there is "the power of immortal text" nearby, the jade pendant will heat up. This involves the secret of immortal cultivation, which is also the ultimate secret of the Ning Wang family. This secret can only be known by their direct bloodline who "have the qualifications".

The reason his father dared to set his sights on that position was because he had come into contact with the "immortal".

Strength gives birth to ambition.

This is an eternal truth.

Young Master Nineteen is keen on showing off, and he may want to use his father to get in touch with the "immortal".

After all, who doesn’t want to live forever when they live in this world?
