Chapter 199 North to Yingdu
After several people thought about it for a long time, Yun Ju'an tentatively felt that Nan Wu had already figured out her motives, but still hadn't responded, which made Yun Ju'an have to consider whether Nan Wu had made all the preparations behind the scenes.
After Diao Chan had uncovered the corruption, several people began to think of ways to go straight to Yingdu.
Along the way, I also heard a lot of things from Yingdu.
It is said that Nanwu strengthened the border with Beichu, but apart from that, it did not end the trade between Beichu and Nanzhao.
However, there will still be stricter control over Northern Chu merchants coming to Nanzhao to do business, even stricter than before.
As a result, merchants who had committed evil deeds or had bad morals found it difficult to gain a foothold in Nanzhao.
Even doing business will be hindered.
But this doesn't explain anything. Instead, it highlights that Nan Wu seems to have become much tougher. Why is that?
The journey here was difficult, but the people do live and work in peace and contentment, and it is not said that Nan Wu exploited them to the point where they could no longer support themselves.
The original purpose of Yun Zhuan inheriting the country was to save the common people from dire straits, but what happened now made her start to rethink.
How could Bai Ye and Qin Agang not know what Yun Zhuan was thinking? The two of them were originally here to support Yun Zhuan, so they would naturally not let Yun Zhuan retreat easily. Moreover, Yun Zhuan had cut off all his retreat routes since he came to Nanzhao.
After finding a few houses to stay in, a few more waves of killers came and went at night, and the next day they continued north to Yingdu.
"We rebelled not only to save the people, but also to correct the history of Nanzhao and avenge Nanzhao." Bai Ye explained to Yun Zhuan, "Nanwu's good deeds are only recent. We have no way to confirm whether Nanwu has really changed."
Northern Chu enslaved Nanzhao for more than ten years, and a lot of things changed overnight.
They all need to be corrected by future generations.
Then let the people of Nanzhao hold their heads up and live their lives as human beings, and they will definitely be no less qualified than those of other countries.
"This is our chance!" Qin Agang's intelligence network in Nanzhao also quickly sprang up. "Northern Chu is now caught up in the people's livelihood and cannot take care of us. I heard that the tax revenue this year was directly cut in half, less than half of the previous year. If this matter is not resolved, I am afraid that Northern Chu will not be able to hold on for long and can only let the Northern Chu emperor watch the Northern Chu decline helplessly."
Only when it comes to that point can one be considered a person who really cannot afford it!
Yun Zhuan looked at the scenery flashing by outside the window, and she felt a long-lost sense of relief in her heart.
The wind blew away all her tense worries, leaving her looking back at the mountains, which were still mountains.
Bai Ye touched Yun Zhuan's head and said, "Once we get to Yingdu, someone will come to pick us up!"
It is hard to say that Yingdu is very different from the south, but its prosperity is far beyond the south.
When we arrived at Yingdu, it was already night, but there were still vendors and pedestrians everywhere. In addition, every house had lit its lights.
The whole Ying looks like a very bright city.
No one will remember its bleak history. Those things are in the past. Current development is the most important thing.
Duhuo's injury is almost healed. He can just get out of bed and walk. He still needs to rest for a month or so.
The two men got off the carriage and saw such a magnificent scene, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
"Yingdu is indeed very different from Yuanjun and Qingzhou!" Duhuo let out a long sigh, "Shangjing of Yuan Kingdom is comparable to it, the two are equally good."
Yun Zhuan always feels unreal:
"I heard that there will be a market in Yingdu at night, selling delicious food and drinks!"
"The peddlers and shops on the streets all sell lanterns. Duhuo, do you want one?"
Duhuo was slightly stunned:
"ah?"
Yun Zhuan walked straight to the shop. The owner was a plump woman with a kind look on her face:
"You've come at the right time, sir. We've just got a new batch of goods. I'm sure there's something you'll like!"
The young lady in front of her was simply the best-looking one she had ever seen in her life. In the past, only queens could have such grace and elegance!
Yun Zhuan smiled politely:
"Excuse me, shopkeeper, could you please take down that lotus lamp for me to see?"
Yun Zhuan recalled that when he just woke up, he tried to make lanterns for Lu Zhe himself in order to seek his forgiveness, but in the end he ended up making things worse and was defeated.
Now thinking about it, it is really ridiculous.
As long as he didn't do evil things, he could make Lu Zhe like him. Why did he have to do it so many times, which would scare Lu Zhe and make him confused about his feelings?
"Sir, is this the cup?" The shopkeeper took the item down.
It is indeed a lifelike lotus lantern. There seems to be fluorescent light flowing all over the lantern, and the candle flame inside flickers. It is really beautiful.
Duhuo followed behind her and sighed:
"This lotus lantern is really beautiful and exquisite. If you put it in the water, I heard you can see the sparkling light."
Yun Ju'an smiled slightly and said, "Please, shopkeeper, pack this for us!"
The shopkeeper grinned and said, "Sir, you have a good eye. This lotus lantern is indeed the best one we sell in our store. It is a flower that came out of the palace!"
Besides that, the shopkeeper was really kind and gave me two small white notes:
"This little paper is for making wishes. Please take it!"
Duhuo hurriedly went to take it, but Yun Zhuan took it away by himself:
"Your injuries haven't healed yet. There are many things waiting for you when you recover!"
As Bai Ye and Qin Agang were older, they stayed in the carriage and went directly to the house they bought in Yingdu.
Yun Zhuan came to her senses. It would be a pity not to appreciate such a beautiful moonlight. Su Yue'an was left in Yuan County by her, and no one could control her now!
When they reached the lake, many little girls were very happy because they got a lantern, and there were other children catching fireflies.
Just looking at it quietly, it seems that the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous.
Duhuo took the lotus lantern from Yun Juan's hand and placed the small paper on it:
"Miss, do you want to make a wish?"
She was the first to make a promise, and Yun Zhuan smiled. He lived so quietly and alone, and had been by her side for many years.
Duhuo opened her eyes and promised the young lady that she would be happy all her life and find a good man in the end.
"Miss, you should make a wish quickly. It will be bad if it floats too far!" Duhuo was a little anxious.
Yun Zhuan placed his hand on Duhuo's shoulder, and Duhuo calmed down instantly:
"Living alone and having no wishes is the best wish."
That's it, the blank wish is all-encompassing.
Haiqing, Heyan, Shan and Jingming were too illusory to her. There were too many people in the world who had suffered.
Yun Zhuan thought, if she could...
She hopes that the gods above will have mercy on all living beings.
