Chapter 460: Transformed into a Beggar
When she was still a beggar, Xiaozhen often followed the bigwigs in the city to beg for food. From then on, she believed that in this world, as long as you have money, you can do anything.
You don’t have to go hungry, you don’t have to be looked down upon, you don’t have to wear tattered clothes, you can buy whatever you want.
After arriving in Qingrao City and acquiring a large amount of wealth, she did have a brief period of happiness. She was like a nouveau riche. No, she was a nouveau riche.
She bought a lot of shops, changed into an extremely luxurious outfit, bought expensive hairpins, accessories, sachets, jade pendants, traveled in a carriage, and met celebrities. She learned how to taste tea and brew wine, and how to play the zither and pipa. She was as elegant as possible. But in the final analysis, it was just vanity. But she also saw that the rich people who talked to her happily also had times when they were servile.
From the girl's eyes, I realized that power is more important than money.
The person in power in Dayu Kingdom now is a woman who is only 28 years old. Even Xiaozhen, a beggar who grew up struggling in a dark alley, knows this.
The officials of Qingrao City always mentioned the current empress in every sentence. They praised her highly and said that the country of Dayu could be what it is today because of the empress's talent.
Xiao Zhen sneered. If she was really that divine, why were there still beggars in this world?
Immediately, I felt an inexplicable sense of anger.
She also wanted to be emperor.
……
Xiaozhen looked at the young man's departing back, and inferiority complex took root deeply in her heart. She was obviously already wealthy and had countless assets in Qingrao City, but she still felt inferior.
The other person's knowledge and bearing were something that she, born a beggar, could never make up for.
She seemed to have returned to the past, her luxurious clothes were roughly torn off, revealing her tattered beggar's attire.
She herself did not even realize how terrifying her expression was at the moment, how ugly her face was, and it could even be described as "ferocious".
"Beggar" is her Achilles' heel.
Fortunately, at this moment, Jiao Beiming behind her patted her on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Zhen, it's okay. Let's go to another inn."
The voice was as warm as a spring breeze, and Xiao Zhen's inferiority complex was blown away in an instant.
There was a smile on her face, mixed with a hint of the unique charm of a young girl's first love.
"Brother Bei Ming, will you always help me?" She suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Ji Beiming smiled gently and brushed away the scattered hair on her forehead. "Of course. I will always help you."
The girl smiled.
……
Talk about the other side.
After killing Ji Nan and Ji Huo, Li Changxiao returned to Qingrao City. It was early morning and people were coming and going, so he sat down at a roadside noodle stall and asked for a bowl of noodles.
The store has chewy thick noodles, smooth noodles with intestines, hollow noodles, etc. Li Changxiao carefully considered for a long time, chewy thick noodles have a strong sense of filling, smooth noodles are very fragrant, and hollow noodles have soup in the noodles, which is also good...
After considering all the pros and cons, he decided to order a bowl of smooth noodles with intestines, an egg, and a piece of steamed bun. Soon the dish came, fragrant, with chopped green onions and garlic sprinkled on the noodles, a circle of fragrant hot lard poured on it, and a little lard residue sprinkled on it.
With this presentation, the color, aroma and taste come out, the fragrance is strong and appetite is stimulated. The dishes in the morning stalls are not as rich as those in restaurants, but they have their own irreplaceable charm.
Li Changxiao broke the steamed bun in half and put it into the noodles to absorb the soup. He then scooped up a plate of vinegar, added a few tablespoons of it, then picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup.
It tasted sour and very appetizing, with a hint of meaty aroma. The store owner had not lied to him, the noodles were indeed very slippery, and if he wasn't careful they would slide down his throat and intestines and into his stomach.
It warms the stomach, the heart and the body. Nothing is more comfortable than finishing a bowl of noodles in the morning. If there is, then two bowls.
Li Changxiao ordered another serving. If you eat too much noodles, you will feel a little greasy, so you need vinegar to relieve the greasiness. After eating two large bowls, Li Changxiao paid and left.
The breeze was gentle. Li Changxiao first went to the Jia Mansion. He took a look from a distance and saw that the Jia Mansion was unusually cold and quiet, and the servants who were working had numb expressions.
"Didn't you find it?" Li Changxiao murmured to himself.
After finding the traces of the mermaids yesterday, he went to search for them alone. He never thought that after a day, these offspring had not been found yet.
In that case, let him look for it. It's an easy task anyway.
Li Changxiao walked on the street. With the arrogant temperament of the mermaids, it was impossible for them to lower themselves to take care of those children. At present, it was possible that the mermaids went on a killing spree and simply killed them to end it all.
This approach is in line with their style.
Thinking of this, Li Changxiao suddenly stopped, shook his head slowly, and denied his previous guess.
Killing all three tribes and robbing their treasures is what the mermaids do. They secretly robbed children, which seemed arrogant, but in fact, it was very low-key for them.
The conversation between Ji Huo and Ji Nan last night proved that they were cautious and were planning to get something back. They would never dare to expose themselves easily before achieving this goal.
The destruction of Mengze City was carefully planned before and after its execution. There were large rock sculptures blocking the way, so no one noticed it for several months.
There were still hidden fruits of the dream in the city. Ji Lu intercepted them halfway and chose to go to the deserted wilderness.
It can be seen that the mermaids are indifferent to life and are extremely arrogant, but they are by no means brainless and they will consider the possible consequences before every action.
Only take action when you are sure it is feasible.
There is a river mother temple in Qingrao City. The river can be used as a spy, so the mermaids cannot be too arrogant. They are not afraid of the river mother coming to cause trouble, but they are afraid of the news leaking.
He Mu is a key figure in the reform and is at the center of the human race. If she knew that the mermaids had infiltrated, then the entire Fuyao world would know about it and she would be unable to stop them.
This is the key.
In this case, the probability of the descendants of the three clans being alive is actually even higher, because they can no longer perform dream magic after death.
Li Changxiao's eyes lit up slightly, and he felt that he was close to the answer.
These children were not very old, only about ten years old, and their minds were still immature. It was very easy to control their minds with dream magic.
People who are proficient in dream arts sometimes do not need to use spiritual energy when applying the technique. For example, Li Changxiao can peek into other people's dreams without using spiritual energy.
You can also simply manipulate your dreams.
If you fully activate your dream perception, the effect will be far greater.
With the mermaids' control over dreams, it is easy to influence the minds of these offspring.
Even ordinary adults can control it easily. The pale-faced scholar in the calligraphy and painting shop is a living example.
in this case…
If the dream technique is used, how will the descendants of the three clans be arranged?
Li Changxiao pinched his chin and gradually came up with the answer in his mind.
Two words: beggar.
He used dream magic to influence the descendants of the three tribes, making them forget their identities and think of themselves as beggars.
This would not only satisfy Xiao Zhen's hatred of the rich, but also save trouble. Moreover, the dream technique came from the heart, and they were just the beginning. The subsequent dreams would be supplemented by the person who was in the technique.
