Chapter 184: I hate that I don't like you
Su Zhenzhen stayed in Shanxian for three days, but found it boring, so she led her horse eastward, carrying the pancakes that Old Man Bai had made for her.
The main character is someone who prefers walking rather than riding a horse.
It's really strange. Ever since the fire cut off the barbarians' lifeline, there has been no war in the border region. In addition, with a stable grain production, no one has died in the past two years. On the contrary, newborns have been born.
Does this mean that if the country is peaceful and prosperous, there will be no more wronged souls in the world?
Su Zhenzhen has stopped focusing on performance reviews, and of course, she can't find any anyway. She hasn't even encountered any dead people, let alone vengeful spirits.
Let nature take its course; every game eventually comes to an end.
A man led his horse slowly along the newly repaired official road.
Chunzhi attached great importance to the people's livelihood. When he first raised an army in Shanxian County, he marched eastward and conquered a city. After each city was captured, he would allocate some troops to repair the official roads between the cities.
The people along the Yangcheng-Shanxian line could exchange goods and services, but this line also severed the connection between Huzhou and the south.
If the people of Huzhou wanted to move to another place, the border prefectures were broken and even worse than Huzhou, while the prosperous capital city could not accommodate ordinary people like them. The only place they could go was the south.
Once the people of Huzhou moved south, they would be attracted by the stability of Shanxian and Yangcheng areas and settle down there.
Anyway, the land is vast and sparsely populated. As long as you settle here, you will be allocated land, and the harvest will be split 50/50. The government will provide the seeds, so no matter how you look at it, the people will benefit.
Perhaps because of the impending military campaign in the south, there were few pedestrians on the road. The common people have a natural fear of war.
Su Zhenzhen found the journey quite boring. She didn't know if others felt the same way, but for her, the busier and more annoyed she was, the calmer she became.
In 906-century terms, it was called "slacking off".
Yes, Su Zhenzhen's mindset has changed from being indifferent at the beginning, to being full of enthusiasm later, and now to giving up.
To put it bluntly, that's the truth.
Whether Hen Sheng can reclaim his empire or not has absolutely nothing to do with Su Zhenzhen.
Where did the road back to the 906th century go? Besides, does the 906th century even exist?
Thinking of this, Su Zhenzhen couldn't help but chuckle.
"Hey." Someone suddenly appeared in front of me.
Su Zhenzhen was startled, and after seeing clearly, she clenched her fists.
"Jiang Sijin, are you sick?"
Jiang Sijin clasped her hands in front of her and blocked the road, looking Su Zhenzhen up and down. "You've become ugly."
Su Zhenzhen: !
Adjectives like "beautiful" and "ugly" have never been used to describe her, so Su Zhenzhen has always defined herself as having an ordinary appearance.
How could it possibly become ugly?
Su Zhenzhen's calmed heart was rekindled by Jiang Sijin's words.
"What, you want to fight?"
Jiang Sijin rolled her eyes. "Even if there's no mirror, you must still need to pee, right?"
After saying that, Jiang Sijin took out the small mirror that Su Zhenzhen had given her earlier.
The mirror was small, but because of the distance, Su Zhenzhen could see her entire face clearly in it.
The person in the mirror had familiar features, but the baby fat on her cheeks was gone, and a faint sadness lingered between her brows.
It had a completely decaying appearance and looked old and worn out.
Su Zhenzhen touched her face, thinking to herself how much one's mindset affects their appearance.
Jiang Sijin waved her hand, "Hey, are you done watching? I don't know why your trip south turned out like this. Did some monster drain your life essence?"
Su Zhenzhen composed herself and looked up at Jiang Sijin.
Perhaps it was because her gaze was too cold, but Jiang Sijin shivered for no reason.
"What...what are you doing? Don't take your temper out on this princess."
Su Zhenzhen ignored Jiang Sijin and led her horse around her, continuing to walk forward.
"Hey!" Jiang Sijin jumped up and down behind, gritted her teeth, and followed.
Jiang Sijin chattered incessantly the whole way, "Where's Hensheng? Isn't he with you? Why are you here? What did you eat? Was it good?"
Jiang Sijin unceremoniously pulled a pancake from Su Zhenzhen's package, took a bite, and spat it out. "What is this? It's tasteless and not tasty at all."
Su Zhenzhen took the pancake back, gently tore off the part that Jiang Sijin had bitten, threw it into the roadside bushes, and ate the rest directly.
Jiang Sijin's pretty face almost twisted in disgust. "How dare you look down on this princess?"
Su Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at Jiang Sijin, saying, "Hehe, Your Highness is so magnanimous, otherwise I would have taken a bite of every food before giving it to you."
"How can that be?" Jiang Sijin immediately retorted, "How can this princess eat what others have eaten?"
"Then why are you talking nonsense? Just because I'm allowed to eat what you've already eaten? You've spoiled yourself." Su Zhenzhen said irritably, finished the pancake in a few bites, and continued to lead the horse on its way.
“I…you…” Jiang Sijin struggled to find the words to say, but couldn’t come up with a complete sentence.
Why does Su Zhenzhen seem different from before? She used to have a bad temper, but she never spoke up against anyone, and she never spoke so sarcastically.
What happened? Did they have a fight?
Jiang Sijin immediately sensed something was wrong. If they started arguing, how could she get them to have a child?
Jiang Sijin chased after her again, trying to get information out of Su Zhenzhen, "Hey, why don't you ride your horse? Aren't you tired of walking?"
Su Zhenzhen ignored her.
"Hey, if you don't like riding horses, then let me, the princess, ride."
Su Zhenzhen still ignored her.
"Hey, did you have a fight with Hensheng?"
"Did Hensheng find that you were plain-looking and not good enough for him, so he stopped liking you?"
Su Zhenzhen swore she had never hated anyone's voice so much before. After Jiang Sijin kept bombarding her with a bunch of nonsensical questions, she finally snapped.
"Are you ever going to shut up? If you don't shut your mouth, I'll set you on fire."
Jiang Sijin didn't care. Instead, she showed a knowing smile and said, "Oh dear, you're not angry because you're embarrassed, are you? I was right, wasn't I? I hate that I don't like you."
Su Zhenzhen's temples throbbed with barely perceptible veins. Her last words seemed to trigger a switch, causing her pent-up negative emotions to erupt at that moment.
Su Zhenzhen punched Jiang Sijin right on the head.
Jiang Sijin was so stunned by the beating that she forgot to fight back.
"ah--"
After a hysterical scream, Jiang Sijin's black hair began to grow wildly.
I'm going to kill you!
Su Zhenzhen casually took out her lighter.
"Snap—"
Jiang Sijin's hair was so fine that it almost caught fire the moment a spark touched it.
Jiang Sijin's wildly growing black hair shrank back, leaving her to fight bare-handed.
Although Su Zhenzhen's fighting skills are average, she is still quite capable in a fight, let alone beating a delicate little girl.
