After sending the old man away, the Blackwater brothers had already set up camp among the ruins. Dozens of tents had been prepared, and many people began to cook in pots. Fortunately, when they came, they had already prepared a lot of food and fresh water. , otherwise eating would be a problem.
Li Huguo stood on the roof of the devastated ruling hall, looking at the scenery around him. Suddenly, he thought of many people.
These are people from long ago.
Nalan Meng, Yun Xianchen and the Thief Emperor were not in this situation at the beginning. They built Nalan City from scratch and built it into a prosperous Tianlang City. However, it is a pity that Tianlang City has just entered the threshold of prosperity. They parted ways due to an accident.
The original lovers had to separate...
Life is so magical and so embarrassing...
Li Yuguo sat cross-legged, looking at the bright moon in the sky, but his heart felt like still water, and his mind was also empty, neither happy nor sad, only endless memories.
"Worry-free..." Li Yuguo looked at the sky, and he thought of the woman he loved most. Once upon a time, he had nothing and was penniless, but the girl still refused to leave her, and even later became Diao Chan, just to stay with him.
Although Wuyou did not appear in the third world, the beautiful memories she brought to him will never pass away.
"Master, can you tell me about your brother Li Bufan?" At this time, Dai Li appeared from behind Li Hugo and handed him a plate.
She was wearing very hot clothes, and the moonlight shone on her skin, reflecting bursts of silver light.
Li Huguo looked at the food on the plate. He picked up the chopsticks. The chopsticks were made by himself. The food was very simple, a piece of pork belly with skin. This piece of meat was very big, two or two ounces. Next to it were mashed potatoes and a piece of pork belly. Sweeping the sauce, he took a bite of the meat and said, "He's a nice boy. It's a pity... I hurt him."
When he thought that Li Yuguo had changed Li Bufan's fate, he still blamed himself. After all, Li Bufan called him big brother. This innate sense of mission made Li Yuguo want to protect this naive boy.
"Actually, I don't blame you, Master. Speaking of which, this Wood Dragon Kingdom is a place that many people in the Golden Amber Kingdom dream of..." Delly said, her bangs blowing in the wind.
Li Huguo smiled and said: "What's so good about it? They are deceitful and fight endlessly."
"At least people can live with dignity... At least... there are no slaves over there." Delly said.
After Dai Li said this, Li Huguo also recalled that it was indeed the same thing. If we had to compare, the Golden Hu Kingdom should be the ancient Egypt during the slavery era, and the Wood Dragon Kingdom should be the Song Dynasty, and the military affairs of the Song Dynasty were Although it is not top-notch, people's lives are not bad, and they can at least have the most basic dignity.
The cruelty of ancient Egypt was even more excessive than that of the Qin Dynasty. For example, labor was forced to build the tomb pyramids after the death of the pharaohs, and most of these laborers were serfs or slaves, and countless people died in it.
"Perhaps in the future, the Golden Hu Kingdom will realize... how stupid it is to let people differentiate by level." Li Hugo said, and she glanced at Delly.
Delly smiled slightly and said: "Actually, my father was executed because of this matter..."
"ah?"
"My father's scribe specializes in recording history. He went to the Mulong Kingdom again and found that the reason why the Mulong Kingdom suddenly became stronger in recent years was the creation of martial arts and civil examinations. Anyone with talent can join the army and serve the country, and the civil service examination allows those with talent to serve as civil servants... "
Delly took a deep breath, sipped the mashed potatoes and said, "Then when my father came back, he proposed reforms to the Pharaoh, but he unexpectedly angered those powerful people. I saw my father hanged with my own eyes... At that time, my father opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Wood Dragon Kingdom, and my mother also committed suicide. In fact, I was originally going to be sold as a prostitute... Master, you know, use your own body to entertain others. , in fact, I have accepted my fate... Yes, I have accepted my fate... "
"I originally had two younger brothers and one younger sister... I was the eldest in the family." Delly looked thoughtfully into the distance, "Then there was a plague in the prison, and they... "
Delly shook her head, her eyes were moist, but she still smiled.
Li Yuguo listened very carefully and did not disturb him at all.
"I survived the catastrophe. The jailer planned to send me to an advocacy center. I was still young at that time. The jailer planned to let the people there train me for a few years and then accept clients..." Delly said, her voice still the same as usual, "At that time I I thought my life was nothing more than this... But on the way to the advocacy center, the old priest saved me."
"The old priest asked me if I wanted to live with dignity as a human being... I cried like a fool..." Delly said. Tears fell down as she spoke, but she still smiled.
"He is a good person." Li Huguo said, whether in the original novel or in reality, the old priest is considered a good person.
"Yes, when I came out, the Lebang priest asked me if I had made the oath of Zhou Tian..." she said.
Li Yuguo was stunned and looked at Delly.
Delly said with a smile: "I nodded, but I didn't expect that the high priest Lebang did not make things difficult for me, but asked me to come here with you... But I will repay the old priest for his life-saving grace, and I will find the murderer."
"Yes, we will find it." Li Hugo said.
Delly nodded, her eyes full of Li Huguo's look.
At this time, the bright moon was in the sky, the stars were dotted, and the surroundings were beautiful. Li Hugo stretched out and said: "Starting tomorrow... rebuilding Philadelphia. Nalan City failed to build the largest city in the world. This is my lifelong regret. But this time … I will make Philadelphia rise!”
He has made up his mind. Now that he is here, he cannot do it in vain. Building a big city is also Li Hugo's goal. What has not been achieved before, Li Hugo plans to completely realize it this time.
Early the next morning, as expected, the old man came to see Li Yuguo. He put on a new set of clothes and brought more than a dozen men with him. Li Huguo woke up from his dream with sleepy eyes. He came to the outside of the tent and said, "What is going on?"
"Boss, they are here to cause trouble. So many people are here so early in the morning!" Black Belly Snake said while holding his obsidian scimitar.
The old man bowed towards Li Hugo, crossed his hands on his chest and said, "Sir, the humble Feng Kern came here with his old team from Philadelphia. After the last consul left, everyone dispersed, but my lord spent the whole night. I don’t want my men to seize people’s houses and are willing to set up tents here. I already know that my humble position is different from the previous consuls, so I summoned the old men!”
