In the western region city.


    Jin Youde thought the war would last at least several months before it could end.


    But what he didn''t expect was that only a few days after he came here, the emperor announced that he would reconcile with the western regions.


    It was a surprise to him.


    In this way, he can return to the capital earlier and don''t have to suffer such a great crime again.


    I promised the man to put people in the temple to do something, but now in retrospect, I just want to slap myself.


    "Which one above the court hall is not a human spirit?"


    "If you really show something, you will compete with them for power and power. At that time, you will not become the target of public criticism. They will kick you down together?"


    Jin Youde thought about the consequences of his anger and strength, so he didn''t dare to think any more.


    At the beginning, he promised and his ambition was ignited in his heart. He should only be bewitched by the atmosphere at that time. The other party seemed to have a kind of pressure to oppress himself at any time and let himself accept his ideas.


    Recalling the extraterrestrial, Jin Youde was wary of this group of outsiders for the first time.


    "Lord Jin, why are you so absent-minded? Do you think you have nothing to do after the war is settled?"


    "Why don''t I let the emperor send you to negotiate and find something to do for you? What do you think?"


    Hong Lianlian didn''t know when to appear behind him and said with a smile.


    While talking, he also sat beside him.


    However, these words startled Jin Youde.


    "Lord Hong, don''t make fun of me. During this time, life is worse than death in Guanzhong here. I can''t eat enough, eat well and sleep well all day. I feel I''ve lost several kilograms. I''m afraid my family will be distressed."


    Jin Youde said bitterly.


    He has really suffered during this period. He has never been used to the food at the border. With his insatiable character, he has endured to eat some. Maybe he will look like this only when he is really hungry.


    "It''s really hard, Mr. Jin. I''m used to eating fish and meat in the capital on weekdays. Now I have to eat bran and swallow vegetables with a group of mud legs here."


    Hong Xiaolian said.


    He is not used to anything. His childhood family has doomed him to be unable to live in dignity.


    Even if he later became a top-ranking official.


    "Are these soldiers guarding the border really from farmers? No, I just saw a child under the age of a teenager kill that soldier of the western regions himself the other day."


    "They just want to live. In their eyes, the heads of soldiers in the western regions are similar to those of pigs and horses. They can''t occupy anything with human heads. They can be used to sell money."


    "Sell money? Where can these people''s heads sell money? Can''t you exchange some war merit at most in the military camp? Even if all these war merit are exchanged for winning money, it can''t be exchanged for much money. The war merit is used for the promotion of heavenly officials into knights. At that time, it was glorious."


    Jin Youde said.


    "At first glance, my Lord, you are used to leisure and have never been in contact with border soldiers. Who says they are going to win for the army. They are the children of generals who sell the money to gild. One head can be changed for a hanging. The money is also expensive. But now that the war has stopped, they need to take the money back to continue farming and become their clay legs."


    Hong Xiaolian said.


    Where there are people, there are Jianghu and worldly wisdom.


    But people are always good at replacing what they don''t need with what they maximize their interests.


    Although those muddy legs were all born farmers, they were very business minded. The hard work of guarding the border became a big plan to make a fortune.


    But now that the war has stopped, their avenue of wealth seems to be breaking.


    "It''s better to be honest and live a life at home. It''s better than killing the enemy at the border and hanging your head on your trouser waist all day."


    Jin Youde said.


    He once tasted poverty, but now he is old and feels that a peaceful life is more valuable than everything.


    Hong Lianlian nodded.


    This is the way the superior thinks.


    They are in the most comfortable life circle and feel that peace is enough for life, but they have never thought that a poor life cannot be peaceful.


    Birth, old age and death are always a big thing for those mud legs.


    The arrival or departure of one person in the family may determine the direction of the whole family.


    Whether it is from downhill to more and more prosperous, or whether the originally peaceful life gradually collapses, all this is unknown for the future.


    For those mud legs, perhaps killing people at the border and exchanging a head for a hanging money is much better than working in the fields all their life and living in fear all day.


    "When is Lord Jin going to return to the capital?"


    "Since the emperor sent me down, when I go back, I naturally have to obey your Majesty''s orders. If your majesty doesn''t transfer me back to Beijing, maybe I can only guard here for the rest of my life."


    Jin Youde said.


    Although he said so, he knew in his heart that if he wanted to go back to the capital, maybe it might be tomorrow.


    Hong Xun Lian nodded, stood up, smiled back, then turned and left, and went up to the wall of the city.


    If Jin Youde leaves here soon, he doesn''t have much time left. He gets along well with these soldiers at the border. He should say goodbye to each other.


    Jin Youde can''t understand why the first-class officials who scold the situation in the court can get along so well with this group of border officers who live at the bottom, and there are even signs of brotherhood.


    However, there always seems to be a gap between the two, which makes Jin Youde feel a little comforted.


    "Xiao Liuzi, after you accompany me back to the capital in two days, you must have a good look. The woman in the Fengyue building in the capital is the most graceful in the world."


    Jin Youde smiled.


    A little boy ran behind him. He looked at him in his early twenties.


    The young man smiled and wiped the dust on his forehead with his hand.


    "As long as adults go, I''ll go. If adults hadn''t saved me some time ago, I''m afraid no one would know even if they died outside the city wall, not to mention going to a big place like the capital."


    "Look at your worthless appearance."


    Jin Youde smiled and scolded.


    However, the boy was really lucky at the beginning. He was shot by the enemy and fell under the wall. No one found it at all. Passers-by thought he was asleep. If Jin Youde didn''t come forward and check it, I''m afraid he would really leave the world quietly.
