Chapter 460: Transformed Into a Beggar

When she was still a beggar, Xiao Zhen often followed the city officials to beg for food. From then on, she believed that in this world, as long as she had money, she could do anything.

No need to starve, no need to be looked down upon, no need to wear tattered clothes, she could buy whatever she wanted.

After arriving in Qingrao City and gaining a large amount of wealth, she did have a brief period of happiness. She was like a nouveau riche, no, she was a nouveau riche.

She bought a lot of shops, changed into an extremely luxurious outfit, bought expensive hairpins, accessories, sachets, jade pendants, traveled in a carriage, and met with celebrities. She learned to taste tea and cook wine, and learned to play the zither and pipa. She was as elegant as she could be. But in the final analysis, it was just vanity. But she also saw that the rich people who talked to her happily also had times of servility.

In the eyes of the girl, she realized that power was more important than money.

The ruler of Dayu Kingdom is a woman who is only 28 years old. Even Xiaozhen, a beggar who grew up struggling in the dark alleys, knows this.

The officials of Qingrao City always talk about the current empress and praise her very much. They say that Dayu Kingdom can be what it is today because of the empress's ability.

Xiaozhen sneered. If she is really so amazing, why are there still beggars in this world?

Then, she felt inexplicably angry.

She also wanted to be an emperor.

…

Xiaozhen looked at the back of the young man leaving, and her inferiority complex was deeply rooted in her heart. She was obviously rich and had countless assets in Qingrao City, but she still felt inferior.

The other party's knowledge and demeanor were something that she, a beggar by birth, could not make up for.

She seemed to have returned to the past. The extravagant clothes were roughly torn off, revealing the tattered beggar's dress.

So much so that she herself did not realize how terrible her expression was at the moment, how ugly her face was, and even "ferocious" could be used to describe it.

"Beggar" was her Achilles' heel.

Fortunately, at this moment, Jiao Beiming behind her patted her on the shoulder, "Xiao Zhen, it's okay, let's change to another inn."

The voice was as warm as the spring breeze. Xiao Zhen's inferiority was blown away in an instant.

She smiled, and mixed with a touch of the unique charm of a young girl in her first love.

"Brother Beiming, will you always help me?" She suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Ji Beiming smiled gently and brushed away the scattered hair on her forehead, "Of course. I will always help you."

The girl smiled.

...

Speaking of the other side.

After Li Changxiao killed Ji Nan and Ji Huo, he returned to Qingrao City. It was early morning, and people were coming and going, so he sat down at a roadside noodle stall and asked for a bowl of noodles.

The store has chewy thick noodles, smooth noodles with smooth intestines, hollow noodles... and so on. Li Changxiao considered it for a long time. The chewy thick noodles have a strong sense of fullness, the noodles with smooth intestines are very fragrant, and the hollow noodles have soup in the noodles, which is also not bad...

After comprehensively considering the pros and cons, he decided to order a bowl of smooth noodles with smooth intestines, plus an egg, and a piece of steamed bun. Soon the dish came up, with a fragrant aroma. The noodles were sprinkled with chopped green onions and minced garlic, and a circle of fragrant hot lard was poured on it, and a little lard residue was sprinkled on it.

This presentation, the color, aroma and taste came up, the aroma was fragrant, and the appetite was greatly stimulated. The early morning stalls were not as rich as the dishes in the restaurant, but they had their own irreplaceable charm.

Li Changxiao broke the steamed bun apart, put it into the noodles to absorb the soup, and took a plate of vinegar, added a few spoonfuls, and then picked up the bowl and sipped the soup first.

It was sour and appetizing, with a hint of meat. The shopkeeper didn't lie to him. The noodles were really slippery. If he wasn't careful, they would slide down his throat and intestines and into his stomach.

Warming the stomach, heart and body. Nothing is more comfortable than finishing a big bowl of noodles in the early morning. If there is, then two bowls.

Li Changxiao ordered another portion. If you eat too much noodles, you will feel a little greasy. At this time, you need vinegar to relieve the greasiness. After two big bowls, Li Changxiao paid and left.

The breeze was warm. Li Changxiao first went to the Jia Mansion. He took a look from a distance and saw that the Jia Mansion was unusually cold. The servants working looked numb.

"Didn't you find it?" Li Changxiao murmured to himself.

After finding the traces of the mermaids yesterday, he went to pursue them alone. He never thought that after a day, these offspring had not been found.

In this case, let him look for them. It's a handy thing anyway.

Li Changxiao was walking on the street. With the arrogant temperament of the mermaids, it was impossible for them to lower themselves to take care of those children. At present, it is impossible to rule out the possibility that the mermaids went on a killing spree and simply killed them to end it all.

This approach is in line with their style.

Thinking of this, Li Changxiao suddenly stopped and shook his head slowly, denying the previous guess.

Killing all three tribes directly and robbing treasures is the way of the mermaids. They secretly robbed children, which seemed arrogant, but in fact, it was already very low-key for them.

The conversation between Ji Huo and Ji Nan last night proved that they had some concerns. Before planning to take back something, they would never dare to expose it easily.

The destruction of Mengze City was also carefully planned before and after the execution. There was a big rock sculpture blocking the way, which led to the occurrence of several months without anyone noticing.

There were still dream hidden fruits left in the city. Ji Lu intercepted them halfway and chose to be in the uninhabited wilderness.

It can be seen that the mermaids are indifferent to life and extremely arrogant, but they are not mindless. Before every action, they will preset possible consequences.

Only when they are sure it is feasible will they take action.

There is a river mother temple in Qingrao City. The river can be used as an eyeliner. The mermaids cannot be too arrogant. They are not afraid of the river mother coming to cause trouble, but they are afraid of news leaking.

He Mu is a key figure in the reform and is at the center of the human race. If she knows that the mermaids have infiltrated, then the whole world will know about it and it will be impossible to stop them.

This is the key.

In this case... the probability of the descendants of the three tribes being alive will be even greater. Because they can no longer use dream magic after death.

Li Changxiao's eyes lit up slightly, and he felt that he was close to the answer.

These descendants are not very old, only about ten years old, and their minds are still immature. It is very easy to control their minds with dream magic.

People who are proficient in dream magic sometimes do not need to use spiritual energy when using magic. For example, Li Changxiao can spy on other people's dreams without spiritual energy.

You can also simply manipulate dreams.

If you fully open your senses of dreams, the effect will be far greater.

With the control of the mermaids' dream magic, it is easy to influence the minds of these descendants.

Even ordinary adults can be easily manipulated. The white-faced scholar in the calligraphy and painting shop is a living example.

So...

If the dream technique is used, how will the descendants of the three clans be settled?

Li Changxiao pinched his chin and gradually got the answer in his mind.

Two words: beggars.

Use the dream technique to influence the descendants of the three clans, so that they forget their identities and think of themselves as beggars.

This can not only satisfy Xiaozhen's hatred of the rich, but also be simple and easy. Moreover, the dream technique comes from the heart, they are just the beginning, and the subsequent dreams will be supplemented by the person who is in the technique.
