"Isn’t this rcy?"
"They actually want to abandon us and take their own land, ridiculous, ridiculous."
"Now, intercepting him carries risk, and not intercepting him and letting him pass, if Your Majesty pursues the lack of civilian population, that would also be a serious cri, unless..." Liang Yunxiu hesitated, then said: "Unless you mobilize the major noble families in the city, and your own family."
"Bring out those people who are not registered as civilians, yet are within the families."
"Then fill in the numbers of the lost population for the state, getting registered."
"Perhaps Marquis Qin Wu can be allowed to leave without being blad by Your Majesty."
Shao Junlie’s face changed dramatically, he asserted: "To have us noble families do such a thing."
"That is absolutely impossible!"
Noble family clans rely on the [recomndation system] of the court, controlling official positions, then annexing a large amount of land and gaining ’tax exemption’ and ’conscription exemption’ privileges, and using the annexed land and privileges to absorb a large amount of extra population.
This population is not recorded in the state household register, but directly controlled by the noble families.
This is the foundation, the base of the families.
These people do not obey the state’s conscription, but must follow the family’s arrangents, striking without cri.
This is the basis of the noble family’s power and status!
Absolutely untouchable.
After several comparisons, Shao Junlie imdiately agreed to Liang Yunxiu’s plan, waiting early with people outside when Li Guanyi and others arrived, offering respectful greetings, inviting Li Guanyi and others to a banquet.
He also brought out a lot of grain, goods, and opened trade, allowing the Qilin Army to purchase things, Wen Lingjun and others exchanged glances, pulled Li Guanyi back, lowered his voice, saying: "Lord, be careful."
"I fear this banquet is not a good one."
Wen He slightly narrowed his eyes, at the end wanting to retreat a step, but turning his head, seeing the surging masses, seemingly already gathered, he did not expect, in the end, there would be this many people.
The montum of the world, surging endlessly, but those who can go along with the montum, and have the courage to guide the montum, are true heroes.
Wen He was silent for a mont, then said: "I will accompany the Lord."
Feng Xiao spat a mouthful of wine directly, coughing violently:
"Hmm??"
"Ha?!"
"Ugh, you’re willing to go, are you joking!"
Everyone looked at Wen He as if they’d seen a ghost.
Wen He smiled and said:
"With here, it’s definitely fine."
Wen Lingjun hesitated for a mont, then said: "You’re not planning to run."
Wen He: "..."
For so reason, he found that Wen Lingjun seed a bit eager to try, already having his hand on the rope next to him, seemingly intending to repay the grudge from the day Wen He was knocked out and tied up.
Wen He was silent.
This foremost self-planning strategist seed a bit unable to control his emotions, his smile finally carrying a trace of mockery, he said:
"If I wanted to run, would you notice?"
Everyone thought about it, then nodded as if acknowledging Wen He’s words.
This indeed.
Li Guanyi had Wen Lingjun and others purchase supplies, while he himself got up to go to the banquet, Wen He wanted to accompany him, but Li Guanyi stopped him, saying: "There might be a fierce battle this ti, Mr. stay here and wait."
"Oh?"
Mr. Wen He slightly raised his gaze, watching Marquis Qin Wu turn and leave, followed by a not tall, hooded stargazing mage, his thoughts paused, his gaze shifted, seeing the green-robed old man on that side also casually took a green bamboo along.
Murong Longtu intended to go together, but Li Guanyi reached out to stop the elder.
Li Guanyi knew Grandpa only had the power of one sword left, could live about three more years if he didn’t act, but if he acted recklessly, consuming his longevity, Li Guanyi absolutely wouldn’t allow it.
Murong Longtu looked at Li Guanyi, warmly said: "I’ll just accompany you to see."
Li Guanyi said: "Grandpa you have already accompanied ."
He reached out to pat the wooden sword at his waist.
"This journey, it’s my story now."
"Grandpa you’ve co out of the martial world, just sit here quietly, and watch my story well."
When Li Guanyi turned to leave, a certain silver-haired girl also nodded to Murong Longtu, then turned to walk towards Li Guanyi’s back, took two steps, but found her feet were in mid-air.
The silver-haired girl raised her head to look at Li Guanyi, Li Guanyi reached out, grabbed the girl’s collar, pulling her up, Li Guanyi’s eyebrows raised, he intensified his tone, said: "Very dangerous."
The silver-haired girl glared at him, her voice quiet: "Not the first ti."
The two looked at each other.
Li Guanyi remained silent, then helplessly smiled: "Alright then."
"You’re right."
He put Yaoguang down, Yaoguang reached out to straighten her clothes’ hem, then quietly followed Li Guanyi to the banquet, Murong Longtu watched Li Guanyi’s back, his own sword was at Li Guanyi’s waist, always giving him a surreal feeling.
His own sword was still in the martial world, but he was not.
Truly wondrous.
A grand toast.
"Alright, having co out into the martial world, no need to ddle in everything."
"Li Guanyi, this kid, from Central State to here, encountered quite a few things along the way." Siming’s voice ca, this Great Grandmaster of the Yin Yang Family sat beside Murong Longtu, handed him the wine he held, saying: "Have a drink."
Murong Longtu took the wine, Siming grinned, saying: "Don’t worry, with that little girl there, Li Guanyi will be fine." He looked at the silver-haired stargazing mage over there, sighing sowhat, he once playfully told Yaoguang about Xue Shuangtao’s existence.
