Yuanfu's family is a famous private school nearby. Many people who have achieved success have studied here. Even former Maizhou Hou Haohan was a student of Yuanfu. However, a while ago, he heard that Haohan was dismissed for being involved in rebellion and his whereabouts are still unknown.

Most of the people loved Haohan. He was a wise marquis of the prefecture. The fact that Haohan was dismissed has caused many people to be dissatisfied with the new king, but national affairs are not qualified to be discussed by ordinary people, and no one understands the inside story. No one could have thought that the controversial new king, King Jing Yangzi, was not in Jinbo Palace, but was also learning from Yuanfu in a private school about how to deal with people in this world.

Yangzi is not a foolish monarch. She just doesn't understand the world, nor does she understand the intrigues in the officialdom. The reason why Maizhou Hou was dismissed was because too many people said that he intended to rebel, but Haohan herself refused to accept the summons repeatedly. As soon as Yangzi was assassinated again, everything seemed to point to Haohan's intentions. For Yangzi, when she knew nothing about the officials of Qing State, dismissing Haohan was her only choice at that time.

Yangzi still doesn't understand whether such a decision is right or wrong. Haohan is still missing. Some people say that he continued to assassinate to hide, and Jing Qi sent both of his envoys to protect Yangzi. But in fact, Yangzi was a little confused. Is Haohan really an assassination person? Originally, she was sure because of the unanimous statements of all officials, but after living in Guji for a period of time, Yangzi gradually became unable to be sure after contacting the people of Qing State.

But the king has no right to regret, because the king's order is the prime minister and is not allowed to question. Even the king himself cannot question the king's order he once issued. For the king, even if the king's order is wrong, it can only be the truth. In comparison, changing the order every day is a bigger mistake. Therefore, Yangzi can only do more learning and no longer make wrong decisions.

Because Yangzi came to Guji to study secretly, he claimed to be visiting Yan State to visit King Yan. No one else knew about her whereabouts except Jing Qi and Yuanfu. Therefore, Jing Qi did not come here to visit her often, so as not to expose her whereabouts. After all, many officials in Qing State knew Jing Qi, and frequent visits and exits here are too conspicuous.

"Hey, Yoko, when will my brother wake up?"

Standing in front of the bed and talking to Yangzi was the child of the inner family, named Guigui, who was an orphan adopted by Yuanfu.

"You will probably wake up in the next few days." Yoko said uncertainly.

Lying on the bed was a strange child, both from Penglai’s perspective and from the eyes of people here, with bright red hair, Yangzi himself was born with red hair, but that child was different, like a burning flame. Jing Qi once said that the child was Qilin, and Yangzi believed that Jing Qi would not make a mistake, but why did a Qilin appear here?

Qilin is Pengshan Gong, and another Taifu of a country, so if they were not in their own country, they would be in Pengshan unless they followed the king to visit other countries. Qilin alone is rare in other countries, and even more so in such a bruised condition, Yangzi couldn't help but think of Jing Qi a year ago.

Just last year, Jing Qi selected her as the king of Qingdong Kingdom and brought her, who knew nothing about the twelve countries, to this world. However, she did not trust Jing Qi at that time, so she not only suffered a lot of hardships herself, but Jing Qi was also captured by the king of Qiao Kingdom and suffered torture.

So is this the same with this little Qilin? He was separated from his king and was so pitiful that he was wandering here. What is also pitiful is the people of that country. If he loses Wang and Taifu, the country will suffer from the devastation.

Even when the child was sleeping, he was still holding a strange-shaped sword tightly. The sword body seemed to be carved from stone. After a few efforts to get the sword down, he was afraid that he would hurt the child's fingers, so Yoko had to give up.

Although it was not clear that Yoko could also feel that it was a treasure that was no less than that of the national treasure of the Qing Kingdom, Shuiyudao, which symbolized the king's identity in his hands.

"Wake up quickly, your king and country are waiting for you." Yoko murmured. She originally wanted to reach out to touch the boy's fiery red hair, but she stopped thinking that Qilin was the one who hated touching the most.

Although he did learn a lot of knowledge with Yuanfu, Yangzi decided to leave for a few days, because of the vast matter, and some things that she had to find out as the monarch of Qing Kingdom.

"Yuanfu, I plan to leave for a while these days. Can that child ask you to take care of him?"

"That child, are you referring to Taifu? Of course there is no problem, but where are you going?" The Taifu mentioned by Yuanfu does not refer to Jing Qi, which is what people from the Twelve Kingdoms call Qilin. Yangzi did not hide the identity of the child. Since Jing Qi trusted him, Yangzi was willing to deliver his trust.

"I'm going to take a look at Tuofeng."

"Tuofeng? It's from Zhishui Township...ah, I understand."

Yuanfu nodded very simply, which made Yoko a little strange.

"Don't you ask me what I'm going to do?"

"It is very necessary for Your Majesty to understand the country under your rule. There are some places you do need to see. What I can teach is far less detailed than what you see with your own eyes."

People here are silent about Hezhou. Lan Yu, another orphan in Yuanfu family, even wanted to marry a man she had never known in other states when she became an adult, and she was unwilling to be assigned a household registration to Hezhou. Yangzi wanted to go and see with her own eyes to confirm what happened in that state.

The same destination as Yangzi, another group of people are also rushing to Hezhou.

Lao Niu dragged the car without any haste. Perhaps because he had been sitting for too long, the excitement of the people behind the car gradually subsided and had entered Hezhou. Although Qingguo is a country that is in ruins, it seems to be a little different since entering the boundary of Hezhou. The same dilapidated and the same fields are barren, but the people here are not excited to rebuild the country elsewhere.

The silence of death was as quiet as the carriage was pressing against uneven land, and there was no other sound. Walking on the street was like a ghost. Even if someone walked by occasionally, he had a pale face without any blood. He was as thin as a man or a ghost.

In a few days, the carriage entered Shishui Township and finally arrived, but the people on the car were not relieved and did not have the joy of finally reaching the destination. The whole carriage was silent.

They were deceived, and Ling felt a chill when she realized this. There were about ten people sitting in the ox cart, all returning refugees. The curtain behind the cart was opened, and standing outside was a soldier holding a spear in his hand, and he simply said "Down."

The plain voice was filled with great oppression. No one dared to ask, and they all walked out of the ox cart silently.

This is Zhishui Township. Any refugee who comes can receive household registration and land, and does not ask for birth and does not require any proof. This is the truth, but it does not mean that this is heaven. Sometimes, there is only one step behind heaven and hell.

"70% tax?"

The person who spoke was a gray-haired old man. After hearing that the new king ascended the throne, the old man who came back from Yan Kingdom only wanted to return to his roots and spend his old age in a land that was enough to make a living. However, if the tax was really paid, there would be no last bit of ration for the stuffed teeth.

No wonder anyone can get their household registration and land here. There is a saying here that "70% of one life" is that the taxes here are 70% of people's income. Even if there is a slight deficit, they have to be repaid with their lives, either they are beheaded, or they are compensated with their family's lives. In short, "70%" is the price of "one life".

Because too many people died, there is no shortage of household registration and land here, only lack of manpower for farming, too many ignorant people were deceived and then quickly lost their lives.

"I'm leaving..."

The old man who had just said half of the words was pressed against his neck by a spear and he never dared to say the rest again.

"Leave? Since we set foot on this land, we are the people in Zhishui Township. We must obey the orders of the village chief and those who want to leave will be killed!"

The word "kill" suddenly makes the surroundings that become noisy because of the soldiers' words suddenly quiet.

Ling grabbed Xiaofeng's hand in fear. Although she was an immortal, she was only able to get rid of normal birth, old age, sickness and death. Apart from this, she would not have any magic, and her body was not stronger than that of ordinary people. She would still be injured if she was stabbed by a winter weapon, and would still die if she was chopped up.

Why do I always encounter such a thing? I will always encounter bad luck again and again. Ling complained about her destiny countless times. In order to allow her family to have money to raise her younger brother and sister, she chose to betray her and follow Lord Qingliu to Tokyo, but she fell into the sea and came to this world. In order to communicate with people in this world, she chose to become Lord Li Yao's servant, but was tortured for a whole hundred years. In order to go back to her own world, she chose to go to Pengshan to meet Taiqi, but was attacked by the envoy. Fate was always so unfair to her. She did not give up her efforts. This time she wanted to meet King Jing, but was deceived into this place.

Fate once again threw her into the abyss. At this time, all Ling could do was grab her companion's hand, wanting to get some comfort. Xiaofeng's hand was a little cold, so she must be afraid, right?

Thinking of this, Ling quietly turned her head, and then she was stunned. The girl's expression was very cold. Ling thought she would see fear on Xiaofeng's face - just like herself, but that was not the case. Xiaofeng was angry and merciful, but there was no fear.

Before rushing to Zhishui Township, Yangzi met a person. This is outside Gujili's village.

"How do you dress like an Arab?"

"Arab?" Jing Qi innocently repeated this noun that he had never heard of.

Yangzi claimed to the public that he had gone to Yan Kingdom, and Jing Qi's appearance was too eye-catching after all, and many officials knew him. If he came openly, he would have exposed his whereabouts.

Although I knew it was like this, Yoko couldn't help but laugh at his Taifu with unkindness as he watched the man wrap his whole body with white fabric to "cover people's eyes and ears".

"Is there any inconvenience in this way?"

"No, nothing," Yoko did not intend to explain to Jing Qi what the meaning of "Arabs". "It's just that something happened, and I was troubled by Lord Jing Qi who came here in person."

Yoko's voice was ridiculous, which was why she had always been angry with Jing Qi recently, but Jing Qi's humorous cells were obviously not enough to make him understand the meaning of ridiculousness, so he still answered Yoko's question plainly.

"I received a letter from Fangguo. I think I know the identity of the Qilin."

Generally speaking, the letter of the country must be read by the king himself. Of course, Taifu, who is the half-body of the king, also has the right to read it, so Jing Qi already knew the content, and this time he came to pass it on to Yangzi.

This is a handwritten book by Hou Yuexi, Huizhou, Fangguo. Although Yuexi is still a prefecture in name, it is actually like the regent. The handwritten book contains the footprints of white chicks (the jade seal temporarily passed before the new king ascended the throne, recognized by the way of heaven), so there is no mistake to call it a letter of nationality. There is a Qilin in Fangguo, and there is a new king recognized by Qilin, but Qilin and the king disappeared in the Xuhai.

"In other words, that child is Feng Qi?"

"It's probably that's it, and there's the missing new King Ren Feng."

Yoko realized that the other party's situation was so similar to that of himself a year ago.
