Without food, the common people can't eat enough, and they can't pay taxes on time.

Once the tax is not paid, all their land and real estate will be confiscated, and some families will be forced to sell their sons and daughters.

Many people were forced to die, so they could only drag their families and leave their homes, hoping to escape the catastrophe.

But the checkpoints on the road, like a big hand, forcibly cut off their way of escape.

This is military disaster.

When Hua Manman turned her head, she met Li Liao's eyes.

Although Li Liao and Li Ji have no similarities in appearance, they both have a special temperament honed by years of fighting.

Even in the narrow carriage, Li Liao still sat upright with his back straight.

Like a long spear that would rather bend than bend.

Li Liao: "Do you want to help them?"

Hua Manman said nothing.

Li Liao: "As long as you can kill Lu Kai, you can save these poor people from suffering."

Hua Manman: "Even if Lu Kai dies, those under him will not let it go."

Li Liao: "You don't need to worry about these things, Ah Ji will handle them properly."

Hua Manman reacted immediately.

The reason why he didn't stop Li Ji from following him was because he had already planned that once Lu Kai died, Li Ji would immediately come forward to suppress Lu Kai's remaining party members, and directly take the entire Prince Yu's Mansion into his pocket.

He really deserves to be a veteran who has been fighting for many years, and his thoughts are much more convincing than those old foxes in the court.

Li Liao said sincerely: "Fortunately, you have the status of Prince Yu's son, so you can avoid many unnecessary casualties."

Hua Manman didn't answer the call.

Although the other party spoke nicely, the essence was to use her.

She knew it all too well.

The closer it is to Lingxi City, the more refugees there will be on the road.

Correspondingly, there are more checkpoints set up by the government, and the tolls that need to be paid are also higher.

If this trend continues, those who can finally successfully enter the city of Lingxi are almost all people with rich family backgrounds.

Like those ordinary people with little money, they have been sucked up by the checkpoints, and it is impossible for them to step into the gate of Lingxi City.

Therefore, after Hua Manman entered Lingxi City, what he saw was a bustling peaceful and prosperous world.

Here, the common people still live and work in peace and contentment, the pedestrians on the street are still well-dressed, the restaurants and restaurants are still full of guests, and the brothels are still full of singing and dancing.

A city gate separated the two worlds.

Inside the city gate is a paradise, while outside the city gate is a purgatory on earth.

Hua Manman stepped on the horse stool and got out of the car.

The clerk greeted him attentively and asked, "Does the guest want to eat or stay at the hotel?"

Hua Manman looked at Li Liao who followed him down.

At this time, Li Liao had already taken off his black mask, but with some makeup on his face, his skin became darker, he also wore a bushy beard, and he wore a fur hat on his head. His tall and straight figure was covered by a thick The cotton-padded jacket was well worn, with big golden rings on her fingers, and a bulging purse around her waist.

At first glance, he is a very rich local rich man.

When the guy saw him, the smile on his face suddenly became brighter.

Li Liao spoke with a strong foreign accent.

"eat first."

Guy: "Okay, please come inside, guest officer!"

When ordering food, Li Liao asked Hua Manman what would he like to eat? Let her see for herself.

Hua Manman maintains his persona as the son of a rich family, bold and authentic.

"Come here with all your family's specialties."

The guy was surprised: "There are more than 20 special dishes in our family."

Hua Manman: "It's okay, go ahead!"

Anyway, the general on the opposite side has plenty of money!

Finding that these two are richer than I expected, the service attitude of the guys is naturally more eager.

"Do you want to ask someone to sing a little song? Or invite the girls from Hualou to accompany you for a drink?"

Hua Manman wanted to say no, but Li Liao spoke first.

"We've been driving for so long, we can finally relax, and it doesn't hurt to listen to a little song."

The clerk hurriedly said: "I'm going to call the girl who sings the song right now."

After he finished speaking, he ran out Dian Dian.

Hua Manman looked at Li Liao with complicated eyes.

Unexpectedly, her cheap father-in-law is quite good at playing.

Li Liao said expressionlessly, "From the moment we entered the city, people have been watching us."

Hua Manman was startled: "Who is it?"

Li Liao: "Who else can cover the sky with one hand in this Lingxi City?"

Hua Manman reacted all of a sudden.

"You mean Lu Kai?"

Li Liao responded, "Yes."

This Lingxi city seems to have only one checkpoint at the entrance, as long as you pay enough money, you can enter, but in fact, there are spies planted by Lu Kai'an everywhere in the city, as long as a strange face enters the city, those spies will follow and secretly investigate the details.

This is a typical loose outside and tight inside.

Use superficial looseness to paralyze you, and then check you out after you relax your vigilance.

As a victorious general on the battlefield, Li Liao was extremely sensitive to such matters, so he could see the hidden ways at a glance.

Hua Manman still didn't answer: "What does this have to do with your prostitution?"

Li Liao's eyebrows twitched.

"Who does the little girl say recruits prostitutes?"

Seeing that his gaze became dangerous, Hua Manman spoke with interest.

"It's me who recruits prostitutes, it's my head office."

Hey, it is obvious that they are recruiting prostitutes but they still refuse to admit it. The elders these days are really hard to serve.

Fortunately, Li Liao didn't have the ability to read minds.

Otherwise, if he heard this, he would be so angry that his beard would all explode.

Li Liao: "Those people are watching us in the dark, and knowing that we want to listen to the song, they will definitely take this opportunity to squeeze people in."

Hua Manman: "Then are we going to take this opportunity to cleanse ourselves later?"

Li Liao: "No, we need to let the other party know your identity."

The man led a little lady in.

The little lady was born with a delicacy and beauty, and her figure was even more slender and graceful.

She saluted Hua Manman and Li Liao Yingying, and then sat down gracefully, holding the pipa in her arms and began to play and sing.

Soon the food was served.

Because Hua Manman ordered too many dishes to fit on one table, the waiter had to move another table.

The two tables were pushed together, and it was barely enough to set all the dishes.

Hua Manman was so hungry that he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating quickly.

When she was seven or eight percent full, she slowed down her chopsticks and got ready to get down to business.

"Little lady, are you a native of Lingxi City?"

The little lady stopped playing and singing, nodded shyly and replied: "Yes."

Hua Manman: "Then you should know the situation in the city very well, right? Can you tell me about the major events that have happened in the city recently? It's best about Yuwangfu, the more detailed the better."

The little lady lowered her eyelids, covered the light in her eyes, and said timidly.

"It's true that a lot of things have happened recently, but it's related to Prince Yu's Mansion, and the servants dare not speak freely."

Hua Manman hooked his fingers at her, with a smirk on his face: "Come here."

The little lady stood up and walked over with small steps holding the pipa.

Hua Manman pulled her into her arms and hugged her, leaned over and blew into the little lady's ear.

"You tell me quietly, I won't tell others."

Li Liao: "..."

Although it's just acting, why can you act so vividly in seducing a woman from a good family?

Suddenly, I was worried that the top of my son's head was stained green?

——Worries from an old father.
