Chapter 299 Chaos in Smoke City
But Feng Aoqing did not go to Zhaojing. She had never thought about returning to Zhaojing. Instead, she went to Yuanwu.
Yuanwu is the most powerful country in Jiuzhou. Its land area, military and economic strength are all higher than Zhaojing. The relationship between Yuanwu and Zhaojing is quite good. Zhaojing has changed hands several times, but Yuanwu has not moved, which has given enough face, so Zhaojing is also very grateful.
Mo Nanzhou formulated a cooperation plan with Yuanwu. These were all taught by Feng Aoqing. After more than a year, Yuanwu was very supportive, so now the relationship between the two countries is very close.
Yuanwu's goal was to make the surrounding small countries his vassal states. It was unlikely that one person could dominate alone, so he was willing to divide the world with Chao Jing.
Feng Aoqing was very interested in visiting Yuanwu.
She hurried on her way like an ordinary person, never taking anything out of the space again, nor showing her kindness as a doctor, as if the people in this world had nothing to do with her anymore.
Spend money to eat beef noodle soup on the street, spend money to stay in an inn, and if there is no inn, sleep in the open.
When camping outdoors, she no longer took out her belongings. Instead, she built a small fire and sat next to the horse all night. It seemed like she was suffering, but to her, it suddenly felt unusually relaxing.
He wore men's casual clothes and had a man's hairstyle, but his face still often attracted other people's attention.
But although people paid attention, no one made trouble.
That day, Feng Aoqing came to a place called Yancheng, which was rich in charcoal. The whole city was gray, but it was the only way to Yuanwu.
So Feng Aoqing wanted to pass through the city quickly, she didn't like this kind of air.
The sky was filled with black ash visible to the naked eye, and the same was true on the ground and on the trees. When the wind blew, it would fall on clothes.
She felt deeply disgusted by such an unclean place. Even if she had to sleep outdoors, she had no intention of staying, so she passed through the city.
She didn't know what caught her eye, maybe it was this face, or maybe it was the silver bag she had just taken out to buy dry food on the roadside. In any case, after she crossed the main street, someone started to follow her.
Feng Aoqing felt that there were about three or four people. She chuckled. Three or four people wanted to catch up. That was too much of an underestimation.
She steered her horse into a side alley where sewage flowed.
The urban management of this place is really bad. Except for the main street, the alleys are pitch black and dirty every time you turn a corner, and they all look dilapidated.
Logically, a city with a big mine should be wealthy. In addition to farming, the people can also work in the mines to earn extra income. How could they live in such poverty?
Feng Aoqing was not afraid. While leading people into the side alley, he was still thinking about the people.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard someone call out "Wait a minute" from behind.
She stopped her horse and looked back. There were indeed four people.
She was too lazy to even speak, just waiting for them to ask.
I saw those people discussing something among themselves.
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"It's a girl!"
"I thought it was a woman! How could there be such a handsome man! Look at her figure!"
Feng Aoqing did not dismount, but clapped his hands on the horse.
I saw these people clearing their throats, and when they wanted to speak again, they couldn't say anything.
Feng Aoqing smiled and said, "Now he just can't speak, but if he doesn't get out of here, he won't be able to walk. I won't kill anyone, but at most I'll make sure he can't get out of bed for the rest of his life."
Those people looked at each other, still struggling to curse, but they felt their tongues were numb, their throats were swollen and sore, and they even had difficulty breathing.
"There is no antidote. Go away. You will get better in seven days." Feng Aoqing's face was stern.
Those people looked at each other and quickly retreated from the alley.
There are bad people in every city, but this city seems to have especially many. Feng Aoqing finally understood what Han Lang meant by the broken Tianyao.
Perhaps apart from the capital, many cities have encountered problems.
Han Lang's worries were finally understood by Feng Aoqing. It was normal that he did not come with them. If they wanted to wipe out the darkness of Tianyao with just the strength of the two of them, they would have to make hundreds, thousands, and even millions of times more efforts than now.
She was walking in a dark alley with her horse, and a few steps away, three or four people were beating another person. She continued walking forward and saw people gambling on the street. She remembered that the laws of Tianyao prohibited gambling on the street, and not every city had a gambling house. But now it seemed that this city not only had a gambling house, but also had traffic jams on the streets.
Turning the corner, a group of little beggars were squatting on the roadside waiting for the leftovers from the gambling house. The people from the gambling house were not happy and kicked the little beggars to the ground. The beggars did not cry. While the people were not paying attention, they grabbed a moldy steamed bun and ran away, almost bumping into Feng Aoqing.
"I'm sorry, sir! I didn't mean it! Please forgive me!" He raised his head and kowtowed without even checking whether the other person was a man or a woman. He just saw someone wearing brocade clothes.
"Get up, it's okay, come here." Feng Aoqing waved at them.
They didn't dare and stood timidly and far away.
Feng Aoqing took out her purse, poured out some copper coins from it and handed it over.
"Don't eat anything moldy or rotten. If you get sick, you'll suffer and you won't have money to treat it. It's better to starve than to eat something rotten."
As she said this, she handed the handful of copper coins to the child who had just bumped into him.
The children ran away, thanking them profusely.
The city was too depressing, so she mounted her horse and galloped out, leaving the city while the gates were still open.
After leaving the city, she looked for a place to stay for the night. Usually there would be dilapidated houses, or ruined temples, land temples and the like outside the city. Some cities would also have good places like Shili Pavilion, so she was not worried.
Tianyao is a place of luxury and the architectural styles are very high-end. Although the city is poorly managed, the buildings on the main street and in the main city area are well built. He believes that there will also be places like Shili Pavilion, so he went straight out of the city and walked along the official road.
After walking a short distance, I didn't see the Shili Pavilion, but I saw a corner of a house exposed in the woods on the hillside on the left. It looked like a dilapidated temple.
This is good, quiet.
She went down the fork of the official road and walked towards the corner of the house. Sure enough, she saw a dilapidated temple at the foot of the hillside. She was sure that it had been abandoned. She walked in to check and found no one there.
The weather was hot and there was no need to make a fire, so she just cleared out a place to rest.
To be on the safe side, she sprinkled some medicine at several spots in the room. It was not to protect her from people, but because she was afraid that there would be many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the house if it was not occupied for a long time. Now it was spring and the snakes and insects were awake.
There was no one around, so she opened the space, took a bath, changed clothes, and ate in it, then leaned against a pillar behind the temple door to rest until she was tired and began to take a nap.
The palace door was closed. If someone came in, unless they never went through the door, the creaking sound of the door would be more useful than any warning device.
She looked up at the roof again. The tiles were good, so if someone came in from above, they would step on the tiles and break them, making a loud noise. So she slept peacefully.
However, I was still woken up in the middle of the night.
