The little sweetheart dressed as the ghost king

Chapter 86 Thoughts

Seeing that Xiji agreed, Lu Yin breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the groom outside to take them to the place where the temple fair was held.

The closer you get there, the louder the movement, the surroundings are full of noise, it sounds very lively.

Not long after, the carriage stopped slowly, and then I heard the groom's respectful voice from outside, "My lord, the carriage in front can't get in, so I have to get off the horse here."

Seeing what the groom said, Xiji naturally wouldn't make things difficult on purpose and insisted on letting him drive the carriage in.Turning his head to look at Lu Yin, he said lightly: "Then let's get off the carriage."

When the two got out of the carriage, they realized that it was not the usual bustling outside, and all the people coming and going were people.There are hawkers selling food, jugglers performing skills, and all kinds of gadgets that are rarely seen on weekdays.

Listening to the cries around and feeling the lively atmosphere around her, Xiji's mood was not as uncomfortable as before.Soon, Xiji was attracted by the excitement around him, and looked at the children clamoring for sugar figurines, with a slight smile on his face.

Lu Yin has been looking at Xiji from the side, seeing that he is happy, the big stone in his heart is also put down.

"Do you have anything you want to eat? Let's all buy some and have a taste." Xiji looked at the various snacks around him, turned to look at Lu Yin and asked.

Lu Yin looked young, about 15/6 years old. In his time, children of this age were still in junior high school and loved by their parents, but here they had to work as someone else's maid in order to have a meal.Since she followed him, Xiji didn't mind treating her as his little sister and pampering her a little more.

When Lu Yin heard what he said, she was stunned for a moment, and then she showed a sweet smile, and responded with a smile: "Thank you son, I know."

It's just that even though she agreed to everything, Lu Yin didn't ask for anything more for the next itinerary. On the contrary, Xiji couldn't see it. When she saw something delicious, she bought a copy for herself and bought a copy for Lu Yin at the same time. .

Under the protection of the guards, the master and servant walked around the temple fair all afternoon, from beginning to end, until the end of the road.

The end of the temple fair was close to the city gate. At this time, there were many people surrounded by the city wall, all of whom seemed quite excited.

Seeing them like this, Xiji was aroused a little curiosity, took a bite of the sugar cake in his hand, and wanted to go forward to see what happened.

Just when Xiji took a few steps forward and wanted to see what happened, he was suddenly pulled back from behind. When he turned his head, he saw that the person holding him was Lu Yin.

Xiji looked at Lu Yin with a serious face, blinked his eyes, and looked a little puzzled.

Lu Yin looked at Xiji and said seriously: "Young Master, there are too many people there, it's not safe, Young Master, don't go there."

Xiji looked at Lu Yin with a serious face, and then at the excited people in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he decided to follow Lu Yin's suggestion.

Seeing that Xiji had given up her plan to join in the fun, Lu Yin let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, Mr. Xi was persuaded.

Just when they were about to leave with their guards, they suddenly heard commotion behind them, and someone shouted loudly, "Look, they are coming!"

"It's really the Night King, I thought he wouldn't come."

"Of course the Night King will come. How could the Night King not come for such an important matter?"

Hearing someone calling the Night King, Xiji reflexively looked in the direction of their shouting, and saw an unusually familiar man standing on the city wall.

Xiji looked at the Night King, only felt that the aura around him was full of indifference, and the soldier beside him was saying something to him with a embarrassed face.The Night King only answered twice from time to time, but his expression didn't change much.

Even so far away from them, Siki could still feel the Night King's oppression on the man.Looking at the Night King like this, Xiji suddenly thought of the time when he first saw him.The Night King at this time seems to be no different from him at that time, indifferent and without a trace of humanity.

Xiji looked at some men he didn't know, and was stunned, not knowing what he was thinking, until Lu Yin's voice came from beside him.

Xiji turned his head to look at her in a daze, and asked blankly, "What's wrong?"

Lu Yin looked at Xiji, hesitated for a moment, and continued to say what she just said, "Young master, should we continue to stay here now, or go to the Night King?"

Hearing her question, Xiji froze for a moment, then turned to look at the person on the high wall, seeing that he was still listening to the people around him with indifference, he couldn't think about the past.

Xiji shook his head and said lightly: "Let's just stand here and watch." After finishing speaking, he didn't continue to say anything, but turned his head and stared at the Night King for a moment.

Seeing him staring at the Night King seriously, Lu Yin wisely didn't speak again, and stayed there quietly to accompany him.

Xiji looked at the man standing at the highest point giving orders, and watched him talking indifferently to the people around him, looking completely different from the usual Night King.

Looking at him like this, Xiji almost couldn't even remember what this man looked like when they were together.

Just as Xiji was staring at the man in a daze, there was another commotion in front of him. It seemed that something had happened that surprised everyone. Then there was a commotion among the crowd. It seemed that something was coming towards him. Follow them over here.

"My lord, be careful." Seeing that the crowd started to boil, Lu Yin and the guards protected Xi Ji behind him, for fear that someone with short eyes would come and hurt him.

Xiji understood that when there were many people like this, if a stampede happened, it would definitely be him who suffered.So he obediently stayed behind the guards, allowing them to protect them and retreat. Fortunately, there were many people in their group, and those people didn't dare to squeeze them too much.

When they retreated in unison, the city gate in front of them opened wide, and then another group of people entered. The group of people looked dusty and muddy, but they were still majestic.

As they entered, the surrounding noise became much quieter, gradually turning into whispers.

Xiji watched the group of soldiers slowly walking towards the city under the leadership of the chief general.As they marched, behind the group of soldiers, there was a group of tied people who were dragged away by the soldiers who bound them.

If the soldiers in front can be said to be in a panic, then the group of people behind can be said to be pitiful.Xiji didn't know how to describe it. For a moment, he only thought of those rescued stray dogs that he had seen on TV in his previous life.And these people in front of them may be worse than those stray dogs.

Seeing the miserable conditions of those people, Xiji didn't dare to look more, and his face gradually became ugly.

Lu Yin's familiar voice came from next to her ear, "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

Xiji looked at the little girl who was looking at her with concern, shook her head, and signaled that she was fine, then took another look at the team that had gone far away and started to bring in the carriages, and asked suspiciously: "What are these things?" Who is it?"

Lu Yin looked at Xi Ji with an ugly face, she was still a little worried, but she answered his question immediately.She looked at the direction the soldiers left, and said with a sigh: "Those are soldiers under the Night King, and they are the most heroic soldiers here."

Hearing the admiration in her words, Xiji didn't know what to say, so he could only continue to ask, "The one that follows?"

When Lu Yin heard him ask this question, she was a little surprised that he didn't know who those people were, but after thinking about it, she soon understood.Xiji should be a good brother raised in the yard by a rich family, so naturally he doesn't understand these things.

So, she explained carefully, but this time the tone was a little more excited than before, "Of course the soldiers went out and snatched back the captives and spoils. They are really powerful, and they can bring back so much money this time." Lots of loot."

Listening to what she said, Xiji sensed something was wrong, and asked tentatively, "Do you bring so much back every time?"

"Of course." Lu Yin's tone was full of pride this time, and her little face became flushed with excitement, "They are the most powerful fighters, and they can naturally bring back the most spoils for the Night King."

When Xiji heard this, he always felt that there was something wrong, and then asked: "These are all for the Night King?"

"Of course." Lu Yin said firmly.

Xiji felt that he seemed to have caught something, and continued to ask: "What does the Night King need so many trophies?"

"Naturally, it is to build a more powerful army. My lord's army is the most powerful, and the cost is also huge."

"Aren't there taxes?"

Hearing Xiji's question, Lu Yin seemed to realize something, turned her head to look at Xiji, her eyes were full of complexity, and slowly explained: "Young master, the crops in the field are not harvested these days, let alone harvest them. The food left after the tax. Even if all the food before the harvest is not collected, it may not be enough to feed a family for a year. Every family is starving. If the adults continue to increase taxes, I am afraid that many people will starve to death. people."

Xiji watched and said to the end, even his tone was full of adoration, and his eyes looked complicatedly at the Night King standing on the high wall and looking down.

He didn't expect that the Night King looked so powerful on the surface, but he was silent and poor behind the scenes. He really didn't understand him.

While thinking this way, Xiji watched the team leave with complicated emotions.He sympathized with them, but he also knew that he couldn't change anything.

Xiji sighed silently, looked at the people around who gradually dispersed because there was no excitement to watch, and said to Lu Yin: "Let's go, we should go back."

For Xiji's order, Lu Yin will naturally not disobey, but before leaving, she still glanced in the direction of the Night King, and said with some hesitation: "Young master, we have to talk to the adults before we leave?"

Hearing this, Xiji looked up at the empty place where the Night King was standing just now, shook his head, and refused: "No, my lord has something to do, so let's not bother him."

Lu Yin responded obediently, and then went back with Xiji.

Xiji returned to the mansion without doing anything, just sitting there, looking at the sky outside the window, thinking about everything that happened today, the group of ragged people and what Lu Yin said to herself kept flashing in her mind.

For a moment, something flashed through his mind, and he thought of what he could do.Thinking of what he could do, Xiji's breath became short of breath, and he just wanted to discuss with the Night King when he came back.
