After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ling mumbled softly, "Actually... the emperor promised to rehabilitate our Shen family..."
"Really? It can be seen that the little emperor is indeed much better than his father." Seeing her mention this, Chu Yi also sighed.
"How about this, if the little emperor continues to behave so sensibly, when I succeed in my rebellion, I will reward him with the title of Duke of Anle."
Xiao Ling: “…”
From what you said, I should thank you for being conferred the title of Duke of Anle, right?
Ahhhhhh!
Damn Chu thief, traitor, rebel, I will never let you go!
Don't think that I will be soft-hearted and blame myself if you tell me about your miserable experience.
So all her previous tolerance and good deeds have made you, the traitor, an ungrateful person?
I feel really unhappy.
However, after learning about the past experiences of the traitor Chu Yi, Xiao Ling suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some subtle changes in his state of mind.
well…
In fact, the conflict between the Chu family and their royal family was difficult to handle.
After all, although his father was shameless, the end of the Chu family was ultimately due to the ruthlessness of Chu Yi's uncle.
Even if the emperor didn't use Lord Chu, the Chu family would probably split up in the future.
But when it comes to this matter, Xiao Ling is still quite unhappy, and also feels inexplicably guilty.
After all, the Chu family shouldn't be treated like that by the Emperor's grandfather and father, right?
Now that things have come to this, Xiao Ling can't say anything.
The meaning of Chu Yi's words just now was very clear, he was bound to be a traitor.
You, the Emperor, have slandered our Chu family for having rebellious intentions. Well, now I will seriously rebel to show you.
This should be the idea of the traitor Chu Yi. Xiao Ling understood it just by putting it into his mind.
Just as her mood was changing, Chu Yi suddenly said, "If you are willing, why don't you come with me to Anyang City tomorrow?"
When Xiao Ling heard Chu Yi mention Anyang, her heart skipped a beat for some reason.
She was thinking about the information that Mu Ci had brought, and there seemed to be some movement in Anyang City.
Anyang's movements were most likely Chu Yi's way of dealing with her. Thinking of this, she suddenly had an idea in her mind.
"Isn't it the autumn hunting these days? Why don't you follow the emperor to Anyang?"
Seeing her ask this, Chu Yi couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, "Do you want to know?"
Xiao Ling nodded.
Chu Yi waved his sleeves and said, "You'll understand when you go there tomorrow."
“…”
Seeing that he didn't want to say anything at all, Xiao Ling also understood that this traitor was still worried about whether he could be trusted.
Thinking about the many experiences she had today, she didn't want to ask any more questions for the time being, so as not to make things worse.
…
After a relatively relaxing night, Xiao Ling was taken down the mountain by Chu Yi early the next morning and headed towards Anyang City.
At first when she was riding in the carriage, she was just confused, but when she saw him taking off his outer robe, she panicked.
"What do you want to do?"
Hearing this, Chu Yi ignored it and just found another tattered piece of clothing to change into.
Looking at him again, Chu Yi was dressed like an ordinary poor farmer. If an outsider saw him, they might not be able to tell that he was the Minister of Personnel.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling hesitated briefly before realizing that he had misunderstood.
However, when she saw Chu Yi dressed like this, she was very confused in her heart.
"So, why did you change into this outfit?"
"Don't worry, you'll know when we get to Anyang." Chu Yi smiled mysteriously, "You should change into something too. It's very exciting. I guarantee you'll like it."
Change it yourself?
Xiao Ling was even more confused.
Why don't you just go to Anyang City for no reason? Why pretend to be an ordinary citizen?
It can't be that the traitor Chu Yi suddenly felt like going on an incognito visit to sympathize with the people, right?
Then there is no need to directly pass Qiao Chuan off as an ordinary person, right?
Xiao Ling didn't understand at all, but perhaps because of her change of mood, or perhaps because she wanted to find out the real purpose of Chu Yi's going to Anyang, she became much more tolerant this time.
According to Chu Yi's request, she also changed into a simple set of coarse cloth clothes.
But Xiao Ling felt a little regretful when she took off her coat, because the Chu thief in front of her had never taken his eyes off her.
Even covered by a few pieces of clothing, her slender figure could not hide her graceful and charming appearance.
The two drums under her plain white clothes don't look like a girl under 20 years old.
Chu Yi was feasting his eyes.
Not only was he mesmerized by the sight, he also expressed his admiration from time to time:
“Even if you dress like this, you can’t hide your temperament. It seems that although your Shen family is in decline, you are still doing well.”
Xiao Ling was very angry and really couldn't stand his gaze.
Not daring to delay, he quickly put on the coarse cloth again.
Before they knew it, the carriage was not far from Anyang City.
Although they were still far from the city, Chu Yi had already gotten off the carriage and started walking with Xiao Ling.
With Xiao Ling's curiosity about to overflow, Chu Yi brought her and Xu Zizhuo to a place.
This is a dilapidated village outside the city, with many scattered people in it who are in tattered clothes and have pale faces and thin bodies. At first glance, they are refugees who have suffered from the disaster.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling couldn't help but feel terrified.
Although the current situation in Anguo is indeed not a prosperous one, how could there be so many refugees gathering in the great Eastern Capital?
If I remember correctly, before the autumn hunt, the Chu bandits in front of us said that this year would be a year of bumper harvest.
