Chapter 704: Frequent disasters, not enough to eat
The City God asked: "I wonder what aspect the Immortal is asking about?"
"Every aspect is fine." Chen Changsheng said, "Chen just asked casually, so the city god doesn't have to worry about anything, just say it."
After hearing this, the City God understood, and immediately said: "The little gods in the entire northwest do not know, but the land of Ximing is much more chaotic than before."
"The mixture of fish and dragons in Ximing City, coupled with the imminent move in the Northern Desert, has inevitably resulted in the current chaotic scene. Although Xixiao was not peaceful before, it is far behind now."
"In addition, the capital of the country is Shangjing, and Daxiang's sight is in the central area, making it even more difficult to govern this place, which also led to the confusion of the rules here."
"Human lives are hard to protect, and incidents of burning, killing and looting occur frequently, but there is no way..."
The City God breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This place should have been prosperous, but it has become a smog. Most people who want to survive must either move eastward or stay here and lick blood from the tip of a knife."
Chen Changsheng looked around and saw the destitute people lying on the ground on the street. There was despair in his eyes, but no one passing by would even take a glance at them.
Looking at these passers-by, most of them have swords on their waists, and their hands are always on them, because they don't know if someone will suddenly become violent at the next moment.
It's not because of hatred, but because some people will do anything to survive.
What a mess!
Chen Changsheng asked: "Zhao Zhen left a lot of troops behind. No matter how serious it is, it won't become like this."
The City God said: "There are countless corrupt officials. The sky is high here and the emperor is far away, so they are allowed to do whatever they want. For them, as long as they have money, the so-called rules are just a simple sentence and have no meaning."
"It turns out it's rotten to the core..." Chen Changsheng muttered.
Perhaps there were still people who insisted on protecting this place at first, but as the tide rolled up, the voices of questioning also sounded in their hearts, becoming more and more chaotic and unbridled.
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but think that Yan Ruchu was going to create a chaotic world, but with the situation in the northwest now, something might go terribly wrong by then.
But Chen Changsheng didn't want to believe that Yan Ruchu didn't know the situation here.
He has such confidence that the Jingzhiguo will be revealed to the world again, so how could he be deceived? He is a very scheming emperor, and there is probably nothing that can be hidden from him.
He knows.
And it's especially clear.
But he, Yan Ruchu, still had to do that.
In this matter, he has already become hopelessly sick.
Chen Changsheng sighed, just hoping that this scene of devastation would come as late as possible, so that there would be two more years of peace and a way for people to survive.
The City God asked: "Is the Immortal worried about the northwest?"
Chen Changsheng said: "Chen is not worried, he just feels that it is a pity that Zhao Zhen gave up a lot of things in exchange for the peace in the world today, but unexpectedly it only lasted for such a short period of time."
The City God Council misunderstood and said, "Bei Mo will not be able to resist in a short period of time, so the Immortal can rest assured."
Chen Changsheng smiled warmly and said, "I hope so."
He continued walking forward and came to the ruins of the royal court.
I walked in and took a look around. Looking at the ashes and traces left after the fire, I can see how prosperous this palace was in the past.
Chen Changsheng grabbed a handful of ashes and put it in his hand, and saw the ashes blown away by the wind.
It is a pity that it has been destroyed, and the last ashes will be slowly covered by the wind and sand as the years go by. Dust will return to dust, and earth will return to earth.
"It's a pity."
A voice sounded beside Chen Changsheng.
The man had a scar on his neck and covered his face with a cloth, as if it was used to block the wind and sand.
Chen Changsheng turned to look at him and said: "The handover from the old to the new and the change of dynasties will always leave many regrets."
The man looked at Chen Changsheng and asked, "Is it Xi Xiao that you regret?"
Chen Changsheng said: "Actually, I feel more sorry for this magnificent building."
The man smiled and said, "Yes, how can you not feel sorry for it?"
"Chen always feels that you are somewhat familiar." Chen Changsheng said.
I seem to have met him there.
"Really?" The man glanced at Chen Changsheng's face, but shook his head and said, "I don't know you, maybe you are mistaken."
"Are you from Xiao or Xiang?"
"Can't it be Jingren?"
The man smiled and said: "Think about it, Jingren also collapsed decades ago like the ashes you saw, so that people today have ignored it."
Chen Changsheng looked at him and said, "Chen really recognizes you."
"Huh?" Long Zhongzheng blinked and then took off the gauze covering his face.
Chen Changsheng smiled and said: "When Chen came to Ximing, I met you on the road. You reminded me a few words and promised me that if I encounter any difficulties, I can go to the trading house to find you."
Long Zhongzheng smiled when he heard this and said: "It seems that we have really encountered this before. It's just that I'm old and can't remember what happened before. I hope you don't mind."
He did not see the city god beside Chen Changsheng. Mortals cannot see ghosts and gods.
Chen Changsheng said: "This is nothing."
Long Zhongzheng said: "Are you interested in having a drink?"
Chen Changsheng turned his head and glanced at the City God beside him.
Qi Chenghuang cupped his hands and said: "Please go, the Immortal. The little god will not disturb you sir."
Chen Changsheng smiled warmly and said, "Chen will treat you to tea later."
"According to what the Immortal said." Qi Chenghuang bowed his hands and then retreated.
Chen Changsheng and Na Longzhong found a restaurant in Ximing City and sat down.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Are you still opening a trading company now?"
Long Zhongzheng shook his head and said: "They have been robbed long ago."
"I'm sorry Chen should not mention it."
"It's okay, it's all in the past."
Long Zhongzheng waved his hand and said, "Come, let's drink."
After drinking a glass of wine, Chen Changsheng also felt how strong and spicy the northwest wine was.
Long Zhongzheng smiled and said, "You just came here."
Chen Changsheng nodded and said: "Not bad."
Long Zhongzheng said: "The wine in the northwest is like this. So, you should be from the Daxiang area."
"Isn't this Daxiang?" Chen Changsheng asked.
Long Zhongzheng shook his head and said: "Few people here regard this place as the realm of Daxiang."
"It's such a mess."
"Yes, the emperor doesn't care about things, isn't that what happened in the end?"
Long Zhongzheng said: "The years here and Daxiang are not the same. There is plenty of fish and rice, but here there are frequent disasters and not enough food. There is a huge difference."
