"Let's forget about it. The Eastern Summer Country is indeed a good place with many outstanding people. But for me, it may not be the safest place. Under calm winds and calm waves, there will always be many dangerous waves that can be endured. I am not the one who rides the tide, nor am I the fish who goes back. It's better to wait and see. It's better to take care of myself. "
Lin Mengya smiled and shook her head to refuse.
No matter how good Dongxia was, it was not her hometown.
In this life, the most important thing was not to live for wealth and glory.
At least for her, living was to have more beauty in the world.
And now she had it.
She inadvertently glanced at Long Tianhao. The most outstanding man in the world was the one who had a mutual affection with her.
If she asked for more, wouldn't she be struck by lightning?
However, in Hou Yuetian's ears, her words had a different meaning.
She was a rare commodity!
In Hou Yuetian's heart, he had the most intuitive evaluation of Miss Su Qingge.
Liu Yu and Su Qing didn't look like ordinary people.
He had always been very insightful. Although Miss Qingge's food and clothing were not too extravagant, Su Qing spoiled his sister very much.
Every food and drink had to be carefully arranged, and Miss Qingge seemed to be used to it. She was calm.
A girl raised in this way was naturally noble and elegant.
It was rare that Miss Qingge didn't like female embroidery workers, but had a special fondness for books.
In addition to medical books, she also read a wide range of books.
Hou Yuetian saw it and felt happy.
He shifted his gaze, intending to test this Lady Qingge, who looked different from the rest of the crowd.
"Miss Qingge, I want to ask you a question. Is that okay?"
Lin Mengya nodded and motioned him to say it.
"I have a friend, who is from a famous aristocratic family in Dongxia. His father died early, and his mother was sick all the year round. At this time, one of his uncles wanted to rob his family property in the name of supervision. If you were my friend, I don't know what you would do. "
It was another friend's story. Lin Mengya didn't know why Hou Yuetian asked her.
But she could more or less guess that this was Hou Yuetian's own story.
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows slightly. She did not think that this would be a problem that would trouble Hou Yuetian.
Perhaps the reason why he asked this question was more or less to test if he was a mediocre person.
She shook her head inwardly. She came here to find medicine, not to be the top scorer.
If she wanted to be judged by others for nothing, she wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
Then, he shook his head, and the smile on his face became even more radiant than before.
"Mr. Hou, I know that you are a capable person, and also one of our greatest helpers here. It was just that Qingge was only a woman. The ideas that she could come up with might not necessarily be more profound than the teacher's. If you do this, I'm afraid you're giving me a hard time. I like to speak my mind, so please don't make things difficult for me. "
Hou Yuetian didn't feel embarrassed even though his goal had been revealed.
First of all, the people in the cabin were all smart people. His question was a little too blunt.
Secondly, Su Qingge's refusal was actually the answer that satisfied him the most.
There were many talented people, but most of them liked to show off their strong points.
They liked to brag when someone asked them for advice.
Little did they know that many of these people didn't actually want the other party to plot for them.
Su Qingge, for example, took the initiative to say it when she saw through it, although it seemed that she was not tactful enough.
But in fact, it was more sincere than perfunctory.
Moreover, her voice was gentle. What she said was only known to two or three people in the cabin.
It was more appropriate to say that she was joking with a friend than to undermine him.
Hou Yuetian immediately showed an apologetic smile, but in his heart, he liked this girl very much.
"I'm sorry for being rude. Since I'm in Dongxia, I should tell you something truthfully. In Dongxia, although no one dares to have any designs on me, I snuck out this time and my family doesn't know about it. So it's inevitable that some people with ulterior motives want to make a move on me. If Miss Qingge gets into trouble because of this, you can tell me that you and I just met by chance. If others want to ask you something, you can tell them the truth. It's okay. "
Before Hou Yuetian, the guide, could play a role, he gave her a warning in advance.
She was a little sad for her bad fate. She had thought that she could have a smooth journey.
Who knew that in addition to paying attention to the Candle Dragon Cult, she might also encounter trouble brought by Hou Yuetian.
However, when he was in Jin State, he was not afraid of being implicated by her.
How could she possibly abandon him at this moment?
Moreover, she had always known that opportunity and risk were twins.
She didn't believe that if she really formed an alliance with Hou Yuetian, she would get no benefits at all.
Long Tianhao and Qinghu beside her were her confidence.
With these two men, there was nothing that she couldn't handle.
"Mr. Hou, you're treating us as outsiders."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a strong murderous look coming from Long Tianhao's eyes.
Lin Mengya stared back at him indifferently. When did this guy become so narrow-minded?
"Mr. Hou and I indeed met by chance, but my elder brother and I know your character very well. During this period in Dongxia, I hope that we can at least rely on each other in misfortune and fortune. If Mister Hou thinks that we Su Clan siblings are cowards who are afraid of death and would betray our friends, then you are gravely mistaken. "
Since Hou Yuetian told Lin Mengya his purpose of coming to Dajin. The atmosphere between the two of them became a little polite to the point of awkwardness.
Not to mention other things, Lin Mengya felt that it was very difficult to speak in such a genteel way.
However, Hou Yuetian looked like he was enjoying it. From time to time, he even put on a posture of making friends through literature.
The corner of Lin Mengya's mouth twitched slightly. When would these days of racking their brains come to an end?
"In that case, I'll thank you in advance. It's still early, and the main city of Jiang City is right in front of us. The governor here is an old acquaintance of mine. Why don't we rest there for a few days? "
With great difficulty, Hou Yuetian ended this round of Dao Questioning with satisfaction.
When he saw Miss Qingge's increasingly gentle smile, he thought that the beauty was very satisfied with his arrangement.
He immediately introduced the local conditions and customs of Jiang City to her, and Miss Qingge nodded repeatedly.
She glanced at Liu Yu vaguely. Sure enough, that guy's black face made people not want to talk to him at all.
How could she compete with such an unappetizing person?
Hou Yuetian's introduction was indeed detailed enough.
What surprised Lin Mengya more was that the official system in Dongxia was different from that in Dajin.
In addition to the positions of the officials in the capital, these cities all had the governor system of civil and military officials.
Under normal circumstances, the civil officials were the governor, and the military officials were the deputy governors.
They were appointed by the imperial court and were not hereditary. However, if the officials had excellent descendants, they could be given priority.
And the most important thing was that the governor had a term of office.
Usually, the governor would be replaced every 15 years. Of course, there were also consecutive terms. However, in this case, one of the civil and military officials had to leave.
Roughly speaking, such a system had some disadvantages, but it also had its merits.
Since he was the governor, to a certain extent, he had his own autonomy to govern the city.
Moreover, the separation of the military and the government could also avoid some problems of having the army for self-reliance.
And it was quite interesting that when the emperor ascended the throne, he did not rely on a strong and powerful army.
He had obtained the acknowledgement of even more City Lords, which was why he was able to reclaim his throne without a drop of blood on his blade.
It was also because of this that the commoners were not affected too much.
Hearing Hou Yuetian's words, Lin Mengya only felt that this emperor was really powerful.
He was also in the same situation as her cousin, but he could deal with those governors and subjects, and thus obtain the final victory.
Even though she sounded relaxed, in fact, the number of people who died and were injured would not be much less than those who fought.
But to be able to ascend the throne in this way, this person was definitely not to be underestimated.
She turned her head and glanced at Long Tianhao.
Just like her, the man had a serious expression on his face.
With Long Tianhao's current status, it was only a matter of time before he fought for the throne.
With these examples, she believed that he would also benefit a lot from it.
She hoped that Long Tianhao would be able to achieve his wish safely.
"The governor of Jiang City, An Jingchen, was born in the wilderness. And the deputy governor, Tong An, was a famous talent in our Dongxia Country. Among these two people, one was good at using swords and sabers, but in the end, became a governor with a civil position. The other one was good at poetry and songs, but in the end, became a tiger general with a large number of troops. It was really fate that made a fool of people, but it also became a wonder in Jiang City. "
Hou Yuetian's smile was elegant and friendly. As he spoke, he revealed the background of his two good friends.
Lin Mengya also felt that it was quite interesting.
"Mr. Hou, since you are so familiar with them, they must be good friends with you, right? It would be a good story for friends to rule a city together and benefit the people. I really want to see it. "
But to her surprise, Hou Yuetian shook his head, with a bitter smile on his lips.
"They are indeed my good friends, but unfortunately, they are old enemies. They quarrel every day, and it is very annoying. At that time, I don't know what they were thinking, but they actually chose Jiang City at the same time. Alas, poor officials in Jiang City, they have to be ordered around by these two governors every day, and there is no time to rest. "
