Chapter 123 Who is the Bad Guy and Who is the Good Guy
The road was thousands of miles long, and no matter how fast they hurried, it was eerily quiet along the way. It seemed as if the person behind the scenes wanted to lead them to Yecheng, so the journey was smooth and they soon arrived at the gate of Yecheng.
"Master, we have arrived at Yecheng. Shall we drive in?" The soul outside the carriage pulled the reins and slowed down the carriage.
"Stop the car, I want to get off and take a walk." Baili Haoxuan's lazy and casual voice came from the carriage.
"Yes, sir." When arriving in Yecheng, it is time to change the address to avoid exposing one's identity too early.
Hun pulled the carriage to the side and the carriage stopped steadily. Baili Haoxuan carried Yun Jingman, who was a little tired from the bumpy ride in the past few days.
Baili Haoxuan landed lightly with a beautiful and graceful turn, clean and elegant, holding Yun Jingman with one hand, gently lifting Yun Jingman's waist, hugging her, and landing beautifully in Baili Haoxuan's arms. Because she was a little tired, her center of gravity was unstable when she landed, and she leaned on Baili Haoxuan's arms...
The carriage ride over the past month had shaken her heart, lungs, stomach and spleen to the bone. Transportation in ancient times was really underdeveloped...
Taking a deep breath of fresh air, Yun Jingman straightened herself up and got out of Baili Haoxuan's embrace. She smiled and said, "Master, I can walk on my own."
"Oh, really?" He said in a meaningful, half-smiley voice. He turned around, glanced at Hun, and said coldly: "Hun, park the carriage. Then follow by yourself."
Baili Haoxuan pulled out a folding fan with a handle made of transparent white jade from somewhere. It was exquisitely and elegantly made. Even for a layman like her, she could tell at a glance that the fan must be of top quality.
Baili Haoxuan was wearing a purple and noble brocade robe, which blended with the imperial aura and noble aura he exuded, making people unconsciously submit to him. His black hair was firmly inlaid with a gold crown, and his exquisite facial features on his perfect outline were a demonic existence...
And those icy blue eyes, light and faint, as transparent as glass, which can easily make people fall in love with them, and there is always a charming smile on his lips...
She had once been obsessed with this enchanting face... At that time, she had thought that among all the splendid peach blossoms and the prosperity of the world, it seemed that there was only one person in the world...
Ridiculous and hypocritical love is a thorn in the heart that can never be removed...
"Madam, what are you thinking about so intently?" Before I knew it, I was distracted; before I knew it, that enchanting face magnified before my eyes...
Yun Jingman calmed down, stepped back a few steps, smiled complacently, and said calmly: "I was just wondering what it was like to be in such a place that made you rush so fast without taking a rest along the way."
Baili Haoxuan glanced at Yun Jingman with his blue eyes without any idea, and spread out his white jade folding fan, swaying it gently, looking like a handsome young man. Three parts domineering, three parts lazy, three parts casual, and one part of ruthless coldness that was hidden and not easy to be discovered...
The autumn wind blows across the ground, and the grass turns yellow. It's all yellow, a bit desolate, and an indescribable sense of sadness...
Baili Haoxuan waved his folding fan and walked in front with big strides. Yun Jingman followed on the right side of Baili Haoxuan, and Chu'er followed a few steps behind them...
I looked up at the plaque with the words "Yecheng" carved on the city wall. The yellowed handwriting gave it a sense of ancient times...
As soon as I stepped into Yecheng, an unusual smell hit me. The blue brick and stone slabs protrude one after another, and the streets are not as open and spacious as the Xuanhuang Imperial City, nor are they as crowded as the Xuanhuang Imperial City.
There are only a few stalls and few people, but you can see many ragged beggars on both sides of the road, who look young...
Baili Haoxuan also smelled a conspiracy, but he just laughed it off.
The quaint streets were damp and sticky, making people feel uncomfortable. Yun Jingman didn't like Yecheng at all, and didn't know why Baili Haoxuan came...
Baili Haoxuan and Yun Jingman's charming faces had already attracted the attention of people on the street, who cast inquiring, envious, and jealous glances at them. Yun Jingman felt uncomfortable with those glances, and looked at Baili Haoxuan who was standing aside, pretending that he didn't hear them, and walked freely without any discomfort...
Beggars holding begging bowls were eager to move and approached Baili Haoxuan and Yun Jingman. Yecheng was poor and it was rare to meet such noble people, so they would not let them go...
"Master, Madam, please be kind and give me some money." A bold beggar walked up to Baili Haoxuan, and a sour smell immediately came with the wind...
Chu'er behind him was already frowning and covering his nose, but he couldn't cover up the sour and unpleasant smell.
As for the one in front, Baili Haoxuan just raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the beggar in front of him with a meaningful look, and remained calm.
"Master, Madam, please be kind and give me some money..." The beggar looked at Baili Haoxuan and Yun Jingman calmly and continued to ask for money.
Then, the beggars from all around came over and surrounded Baili Haoxuan and his companions. Chu'er walked up to them, covered her nose with one hand, and drove them away with the other hand, saying, "Go away. All of you, go away..."
"Give them some money, forget it..." Yun Jingman pulled Chu'er's hand and said softly.
"But……"
Chu Er glanced at Baili Haoxuan and saw him nod. Chu Er took out some silver from his sleeve and distributed it...
When the beggars heard about the handout, they all came forward and surrounded the people, scrambling to get in. A large sour, stinky and disgusting smell blocked the group of three people...
"The silver given by the unkind rich will never be given away cleanly." Suddenly, among the crowded beggars asking for silver, a clear voice pierced through the barriers and reached the ears of Baili Haoxuan and Yun Jingman.
Chu Er, who was distributing money, and the beggar who was asking for silver all stopped, and the surrounding beggars tactfully made way for them. Baili Haoxuan put away his folding fan, and looked at the newcomers with a playful and gentle smile on his face...
Yun Jingman was even more curious about who was the owner of the clear and sweet voice that said, "The money from the rich and unkind will not be clean even if you take it."
At the end of the cleared path, there appeared a short man in royal blue clothes, with black hair tied up high with a jade crown, fine eyebrows and eyes, very handsome. He looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.
The man's aura was not low either. He was not at all stage-frightened when standing in front of Baili Haoxuan. Most people would be shocked by the cold aura emanating from Baili Haoxuan and the natural domineering aura of a king, but the man in front of him did not...
"It's ill-gotten gains, I advise you not to take it." The man said to Baili Haoxuan with a provocative look. He spoke to the beggar, but his eyes were looking directly into those unique blue eyes.
"Sir, whose ill-gotten gains are you talking about?" Chu'er glanced at Baili Haoxuan and Yun Jingman, who were both silent, then stood up and asked.
"Of course I'm talking about the ill-gotten gains in your hands." The man raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully.
"You..." Chu'er wanted to get angry and argue with the man, but Yun Jingman held Chu'er's body with one hand, smiled, and walked forward gracefully.
Rourou said calmly, "Sir, I am here to show my respect. I don't know what you mean.
What is ill-gotten gains? Is there any difference between righteous and ill-gotten gains? "
The man sneered at Yun Jingman, "You ignorant woman. A gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. The money you get in an unjust way is ill-gotten wealth."
"Then how do you know that we are not taking things in a proper way?" Yun Jingman was not annoyed by the man's rude words, and smiled. Baili Haoxuan had been observing Yun Jingman from the side, his eyes and eyebrows were meaningful and complicated.
"The rich have rotting dog meat, while the poor are freezing to death on the streets. You rich people have ill-gotten gains in your hands. Can a few silver coins occasionally cover up your filthy extravagance?" The man looked a little indignant, and his face turned a little red because of his anger.
"Young Master, don't you think this is too arbitrary? Who says that the wealth in the hands of the rich must be ill-gotten gains? And young master, have you ever seen our filthy extravagance? Perhaps, there are such people among the rich, but that does not mean that every rich person is like this. In this way, you are generalizing from a few examples. How can you be a broad-minded person who faces the problem squarely?" Yun Jingman was indifferent and left the man speechless with just a few words.
The beggars around them looked at the four nobles who were surrounded by them like they were watching a commotion. Baili Haoxuan remained calm and looked at Yun Jingman as if he was admiring a treasure.
"In short, there is no good person among the rich." The man snorted.
"There are no absolutely good people or absolutely bad people in this world. Good and bad are relative. The world is not just white or black, that's your naive assumption. So, put away your theory of absolutely good and bad people." Yun Jingman said coldly. He was a child with a small mind, without any experience, and just used the written words to talk about things.
"Who says there are no absolutely good people? Isn't Sang Yu Hanyan, the former princess of Cangming Kingdom, a good person? In order to save Cangming Kingdom, she traveled thousands of miles to marry Xuanhuang." The man's words contained respect and a hint of sadness.
