Chapter 437: The Tyrant Ruler
Zi Yan shook her head decisively: "My daughter has no regrets, but - I suddenly feel a little sad."
She quickly wiped the tears from her face. She didn't want her mother to see her like this.
In fact, she didn't want to cry, but she just couldn't control her emotions at that time.
The Queen of Sakura Snow Country held her hand and patted it gently: "We have just separated, it is normal to feel sad."
"You'll get used to it after a while."
"You won't blame the Queen Mother, will you?"
"No, I know that mother is doing this for my own good." Zi Yan shook her head and spoke gently.
Do you really think she would easily agree to give the national treasure Snow Lotus to Shen Yindi?
Isn't it Zi Yan who exchanged it for her own freedom?
Do you really think she doesn't want to go with you?
In the imperial capital, there is also Aunt Chun and her sisters in Yichun Tower.
Last night she just wrote a letter to Aunt Chun and the others and asked Shen Yindi to bring it back to her.
"Let's go back with mother, everything will be fine."
"Okay." Zi Yan turned around, glanced in the direction they left, and sighed silently.
Follow her mother back.
After leaving Sakura Snow Country, Shen Yindi and his companions sped up their journey.
There are no wounded people in the team now. The only weak one is Chu Yun, because she doesn't know martial arts.
When we left Sakura Snow Country, it was still freezing cold in winter.
It is the coldest season in Da Chu. As soon as you enter the north, it snows heavily.
Fortunately, both Chu Yan and Si Yin, the two main forces, have recovered.
The current state is even better than in its heyday.
Their top priority now is to rush to Nanfan Mountain and plan carefully how to fight this counterattack.
Count the military strength they have now and how many people they can use!
There are now troops stationed outside the imperial capital, and there are imperial guards in the palace, numbering tens of thousands of people.
It is estimated that there are less than a thousand of them put together.
The disparity in strength is really too great.
And they only have one chance, they can only succeed, not fail.
If they fail, they will suffer heavy losses, and it will take time to recover.
After returning to the territory of Da Chu, they still disguised themselves and tried to reduce trouble.
It takes a month to get to Nanfan Mountain from here.
After entering the territory of Da Chu, Chu Yan ordered Anying and Cangwu to go ahead and inquire about some news about Da Chu.
During this period of time, I was recuperating in Yingxue Country and did not pay much attention to the affairs of Da Chu.
Now that I'm back, I have to keep up to date with the latest news.
Especially the movements in the palace.
Nowadays, wherever there is a city, there are wanted posters posted on the streets, and there are a lot of them. They can be seen everywhere.
However, Chu Yan and the others have already changed their appearance.
Few people can see through Shen Yindi's superb disguise skills.
On this day, Shen Yindi and his companions, who had been traveling for ten consecutive days, finally decided to go to the city to rest.
Replenish their dry food and change a few horses.
At this time, they were still in a relatively large city in Chubei.
As soon as he entered the city, Shen Yindi felt something was wrong.
"Husband, why are there so many beggars on the streets here?" Shen Yindi saw beggars on both sides of the street.
If you don’t know, you might think you have entered the Beggars’ Sect’s base camp.
"They should all be refugees from nearby." Even though Chu Yan had changed his appearance, Shen Yindi could tell that his face looked very ugly at the moment.
"You mean the snowstorm?"
"Ah."
Thinking of this, Shen Yindi suddenly stopped a passing auntie and asked curiously, "Auntie, why are there so many beggars on both sides of the street? It looks scary."
At this time, Shen Yindi disguised herself as a very gentle and kind woman, and her hair was styled to look like she was getting married.
The aunt thought she looked kind and might be from another place. She already had a lot of complaints in her heart.
It's a rare opportunity to meet someone who asks about this matter, and I just can't help but speak out.
"Oh, you don't know, these are the villagers from the village below. This year's heavy snowstorm has crushed their houses and frozen their crops to death. They have no choice but to come to the city to beg."
"But there are so many people, I can't help them all even if I want to!"
“Many of them come with their families.”
Shen Yindi frowned.
"Then will the imperial court allocate funds for disaster relief?"
The aunt sighed, "Oh, don't mention it. The newly enthroned emperor doesn't care about the lives of the people. Maybe he allocated some money, but no one saw it. Maybe it was embezzled layer by layer."
"Anyway, the common people didn't get a penny."
"I heard that the emperor is still taking concubines. Maybe the money from the court is used for other things?"
"Oh, it's really not as good as before."
Shen Yindi nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.
The common people are so unlucky to have such a tyrant.
"Husband, you said, Chu Heng has just ascended the throne not long ago, doesn't he even pretend at all?" Shen Yindi felt a little angry when she heard this.
"How can such a person care about the feelings of the common people? He is just greedy for pleasure."
"Won't this cause public resentment?"
"The Meng family must think that it will not affect their rule. They have already established good relations with Zhaoyue and Nanyue. No matter how chaotic the Great Chu is, it will not threaten them." Chu Yan's voice was a little low.
Shen Yindi also sighed.
"It seems that it is true as General Qi and the others said. If Chu Heng is allowed to be the emperor, the Great Chu will be destroyed sooner or later."
Chu Yan didn't say anything. How could he not understand this logic?
It is understandable that they were willing to spend a large sum of money to put a bounty on their heads, but were reluctant to allocate funds for disaster relief.
"Let's find a place to eat first, and then find an inn in the city to have a good sleep tonight. We will continue our journey tomorrow." Chu Yan changed the subject.
During the ten days of their journey, they had to sleep in the open air.
It was so cold that they could only live in dilapidated temples.
Fortunately, we had Shen Yindi’s medicine, otherwise, who knows how many people would have been infected with the cold along the way.
"it is good!"
They still ate separately and then went to the inn separately.
Go one after the other, or go after a period of time.
We haven’t reached Nanfan Mountain yet, so we must be cautious.
Chu Yun and Shen Yindi were together, Mu Ningyuan and Qi'er were alone, and Yan Shu and Zou Cheng were together.
No one knows where Shadow and Cangwu are now.
Chu Yan said that they could gather at Nanfan Mountain in the end.
Si Yin, who left with them, disappeared as soon as he returned to Da Chu, just like before.
I don’t know where to go, maybe I should rush back to the capital first.
Si Qi didn't even have the chance to ask.
She was too lazy to ask. Anyway, his internal injuries had healed and he was even stronger than before!
Others were no longer surprised.
After a hearty meal, they went to the Yuelai Inn in the city to stay.
Yan Shu and Zou Cheng went to feed the horses first.
Others have already requested a guest room.
As soon as she entered the inn, Shen Yindi noticed something strange.
I saw a lot of people like those in the underworld.
Are they all here to hunt them down?
This experience is no longer unfamiliar to them.
Chu Yan gave Yan Shu, who had just returned from feeding the horses, a look, and the latter immediately understood his master's intention -
