Chapter 5 Too Luxurious



This girl is quite pretty, but her chest is a bit flat.

Seeing Pei Yun staring at her, Xue Qianqian didn't hate him as much as before, but spoke frankly.

"Brother Pei, thank you."

"You're welcome. By the way, tell me about the world below this mountain."

Although Xue Qianqian felt it was a little strange, she still started talking.

Pei Yun finally had some general understanding of this world.

The dynasty that ruled the Central Plains was called "Jing" and it had been in existence for more than three hundred years. It was now in a state of decline, with all kinds of corruption rampant.

There were countless exorbitant taxes and levies. Even in a year of bumper harvest, the people could barely make ends meet after paying various taxes, and it was common for them to not have enough to eat.

Ten years ago, the Xiongnu nobles who had been sinicized led the northern Hu people to invade. The Jing Dynasty was unable to resist and even the emperor was captured.

The remnants of the Jing Dynasty royal family and many aristocratic families abandoned the Han people in the north, migrated southward, and established a regime in the south, called "Nanjing".

The northern land was invaded by the Hu people, who established several regimes and fought against each other.

And where they are now is Nan Jing.

The situation in the south was not peaceful either, as there were a large number of barbarian tribes fighting with the imperial court.

The people's lives were already hard enough, and they encountered a great disaster, which made their lives even more miserable. Thousands of miles of land were barren and there were starving people everywhere...

Pei Yun was a little confused. Isn't this the "Five Barbarians Invading China" and "The Migration of the Elite to the South"?

He asked Xue Qianqian again and confirmed that it was the Jing Dynasty, not the Jin Dynasty, and that there was no Sima family. Only then did he realize that he had traveled to a dynasty that did not exist in China.

But why is this historical trajectory so similar?

Shaking his head, Pei Yun didn't think about it anymore. He was just a bandit leader now. Why should he think so much? He just had to survive first.

After listening to Xue Qianqian, Pei Yun said, "Miss Xue, I'll have someone take you down the mountain tomorrow morning. You need to explain to your father that this is all a misunderstanding."

Knowing the chaos at the foot of the mountain, Pei Yun felt that he needed to stay in the mountain stronghold and prevent the government from coming to encircle and suppress the place. He had to rely on Xue Qianqian for this.

Xue Qianqian got anxious when she heard this and said hurriedly, "I won't go down the mountain!"

If she was a little hesitant before, she no longer hesitated after taking a shower. The conditions in this bandit's den are so good, with food, drinks, and even a shower, why should I go down the mountain?

I want to live here!
