Chapter 493: Shanhe City, Deep Sleep Again

There is a city of people standing between the mountains and the water. When I rode into the city, I saw that the streets were quite lively, but most of the pedestrians were fierce and fierce, not like the good people who lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Some people carried machetes, some held thick sticks, and there was a sense of wildness, without any cover-up. It was clear that they had entered the city, but it seemed like they had entered a den of thieves. And in this pool of turbid sewage, Li Changxiao was wearing white clothes, a long sword on his waist, and his whole body was neat. The white clothes fluttered, pretending to retreat, and his appearance and demeanor were even more eye-catching. But it was like a drop of clear water, merging into a dirty river, out of place.

Looking again, there was another person on the horseback. Although she was covered with a black robe, her facial features were delicate, her eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips were impeccable, and even if she only showed half of her, her charm was hard to hide. She sat a few meters in front of him, leaning on Li Changxiao's chest. Her comfortable expression made the two of them look like a fairy couple, playing all the way to this city.

If it were anywhere else, it would be a scenic spot, but in this city, it would be quite strange.

So as soon as he entered the city, he was greeted with countless sidelong glances.

Many of the glances were unfriendly. From the plaque outside the city, it can be seen that this city is called Shanshui City, standing between mountains and rivers. Although it is a fortress, it is not under the jurisdiction of the government, so it is extremely chaotic.

There are gold and silver treasures tied to the saddle, and the sharp-eyed people noticed it at a glance. The minds of all parties became active, and they all watched the two people leave, with different expressions, some licking their lips, and some sneering.

Li Changxiao looked around and saw such a city. He didn't want to stay for long. He planned to stay for one night and then leave. So he looked for the traces of the inn, but three miles into the city, he saw someone in the street not far ahead suddenly holding a knife and killing people.

Some people died on the spot, and the body was robbed by people. The arms, legs, head... originally a complete body, were instantly shattered.

"Have you heard of this city?" Li Changxiao asked.

Wang Ruyi felt ashamed. Under her rule, there was such a place in Dayu. She shook her head slowly and said softly, "If I knew, I would have cleared this city."

Speaking of this, she sighed leisurely, "However, during my time in office, what bothered me most was not the affairs of ordinary people, but the gods of mountains and rivers."

"Oh?" Li Changxiao was interested.

Wang Ruyi said, "For ordinary people, if you know what they want and what they fear, you can break them one by one with corresponding measures."

At this point, Wang Ruyi frowned slightly, and the imperial aura that he had cultivated for a long time in a high position was inadvertently released. After all, he was an emperor in the world. Even if the road ahead was embarrassing, the aura was still hidden in his heart.

At this moment, his face and words were restored. Even if he was intentionally hiding, the things in his bones would still reveal a little.

It was precisely these few points that some people wanted but could not get, and they wanted to be crazy, crazy, and ferocious.

She continued, "But even if we want to control the gods of mountains and rivers, we are powerless to use them. And I gradually discovered that the gods of mountains and rivers in Dayu are not as simple as they seem."

"Why are they not simple?" Li Changxiao asked again.

Wang Ruyi wanted to speak, but she raised her eyebrows slightly, and she was charming and coquettish, "Hmph, this is the affairs of my Dayu country, how can I easily tell you."

After that, she just waited for the white-clothed man to say a few soft words, and then she shook out all the words like beans.

However, unexpectedly, the man behind her closed his mouth and stopped asking questions. She felt uneasy again and turned back to investigate. Seeing Li Changxiao rubbing his chin, he was not angry, but thinking about something.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back slightly, and moved closer. As for the two vicious men, she ignored them all and was not afraid.

"Li Changxiao, are you going to leave after you have solved it?"

Wang Ruyi's voice was leisurely.

Li Changxiao came back to his senses, "Not necessarily leaving right away, but will leave eventually."

"Then I won't untie it, okay?" Wang Ruyi suddenly asked, her voice a little louder.

Li Changxiao gave her a chestnut, which made her grimace in pain. He scolded: "What are you thinking, you are the emperor."

"You know I am the emperor, and you still hit me like this?" Wang Ruyi felt pain and joked: "You are disrespectful, I will punish you."

"Too arrogant, I won't give you wine."

"No, I was wrong."

...

Although there were many attention along the way, nothing happened in the end. They successfully found the inn, paid the gold and silver, and checked in. Because Wang Ruyi was inconvenient to move, he could only live in the same room with Li Changxiao. After entering the room, Wang Ruyi's cheeks had never faded, and they were rosy, matching that face. Even if the long hair was covered, it was a rare beauty in the world.

She lay down on the bed. It had been a long time since she had slept on the bed. She felt a sense of happiness, which filled her heart. It was like surviving a disaster. It was a blessing after a disaster.

She thought of something else and avoided her eyes with shame. Living in the same room and eating and drinking together, she was in the emperor's family, and etiquette was important. Even though it was a special situation now and it didn't count, it did count in her heart.

Thinking of this, she felt sad. How could she not know that she couldn't catch that person? It was because she knew this that she cherished him and was bold. She was scheming about intimacy and care, bold and passionate, and her emotions were almost not hidden.

Such daring to love and hate made Li Changxiao headache and helpless. He could only often think in his heart that he was really a difficult emperor.

Li Changxiao lay on the bed, with his fingers on the back of his head, thinking about the conversation just now.

There was indeed something wrong with the incense god of Dayu Country. He had this suspicion from the beginning, but he couldn't say it clearly, and it was mostly just speculation.

However, after hearing Wang Ruyi's words, the speculation in my mind was indirectly confirmed. The incense god, the mermaids, the dream god... the involvement of the Great Yu Kingdom is deeper and more complicated than imagined. In this case...

Just wait and sort it out slowly.

With Wang Ruyi in hand, Ji Beiming was stuck at the last step. If he was anxious, he would reveal his flaws. I just don't know... can the letter in the gourd be passed to that person.

Even if it is passed, it will take a long time, right?

Li Changxiao's thoughts were complicated. He wanted to drink, but there was nothing in the wine. Just when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt something strange. He turned his head and found that Wang Ruyi had fallen asleep.

It was a deep sleep again.

Li Changxiao turned over, put on his shoes and socks, and leaned over. He felt strange and laughed to himself. The more he thought about the cycle of heaven, the more interesting it was. The things that ordinary people desperately wanted but could not get, such as life span and spiritual energy, came to him as he waved his hand and were inexhaustible. For example, the three-legged golden witch toad, the ten divine essences, and magic tools... I didn't say it was easy, but it was not difficult. However, at this moment, there were also things that I desperately wanted but could not get, which appeared several times in succession on others.

Deep sleep again.

The deep sleep that Li Changxiao mentioned is actually very different from what ordinary people think of as deep sleep, and they are not even the same thing.

Li Changxiao's deep sleep is actually more like a state of enlightenment, while the deep sleep that ordinary people talk about is just a more fragrant and sweet sleep.

Therefore, Li Changxiao looked at the dreams of all living beings, but he rarely saw ordinary people sleeping deeply.

Was Wang Ruyi's behavior a coincidence, or was there another reason that he had not discovered?
