Chapter 442 The cunning guest, come to fight (9)
Mo Xiaoyao headed south from Qiongyu City and soon came to the border with Chen State.
Because of this big victory, Chen Guo has included Pingcui Kingdom in its territory, and the original city boundary no longer exists.Mo Xiaoyao mixed with some poor people who were constantly on the move, waiting in line to enter Mocheng, the original border town of Chen Country.
At this time, the household registration system was not too strict, and every city welcomed strong laborers into its jurisdiction.After all, so many people have to eat, and the years of war have consumed five or six tenths of the labor force.
What's more, this Mocheng was originally a garrisoned border town, and the young and middle-aged people in it had already been conscripted into the army. Now it is suddenly going to be converted into a hinterland. That is to settle refugees.
Mo Xiaoyao's current transformed appearance is that of a fifteen or sixteen year old boy.In this era of continuous battles, he can already be regarded as half an adult.
The guards at the city gate saw that she was in rags, obviously there was nothing to fish for, and she looked like a standard sallow and emaciated refugee, so they let her into the city without any difficulty.
The buildings in Mocheng are different from the randomness of Qiongyu. Chen Guo is an old-fashioned vassal state.For several generations, he and the Zhou royal family are blood relatives.Now it is also known as the Hegemony Kingdom, even if it is a small border town, although its area is not weak or large, its layout and construction are much more orderly than that of Pingcui Kingdom.
Along the main street of Mocheng, Mo Xiaoyao walked all the way. Mocheng was not her destination, and she just wanted to stop here for a short time to refresh herself.
Although the further south she traveled, the less likely she would be caught by Situ, but she still decided to change her appearance to increase safety while accumulating political capital along the way.
She did not think that as the leader of the Yan Kingdom, he would easily hire an unknown person.Even if the atmosphere is very open to debaters at this time, it is obviously not an easy thing for an unknown person to ask to meet the leader of a country.
At least, she didn't even have a referral.In this era, if you want to create your own fame, you may rely on bravery, resourcefulness, or birth.
Wang Mo did not have a famous disciple, at least not related to the famous Kong, Mo and Lao.As for bravery... Mo Xiaoyao squeezed Wang Mo's arm like dry wood. If he exercises now, will he be able to gain two ounces of flesh when he arrives in Chu State?
Gambit... well, she needs a platform...
As Mo Xiaoyao was thinking, he approached the wine shop that was surrounded by wind. When the boss came up, he ordered a jug of wine, a bowl of noodles, and a plate of pickled vegetables.
In her opinion, the meal was already very shabby, but it aroused the surprised and envious looks of others at the table: "Is this young master out alone?"
The round-faced man sitting across from him raised his head from his wooden bowl, staring straight at Mo Xiaoyao's face with his eyes, as if she had flowers on her face.
"Exactly."
Putting on a friendly smile, Mo Xiaoyao looked confused, as if he really was a boy who went out alone for the first time.
"But you came here to avoid disaster from Pingcui country? Do you need a place to live?"
This time it was not the round-faced man opposite who asked the question, but a man with lively eyes sitting to Mo Xiaoyao's left. Although his clothes were quite neat, the sleeves that had been shortened by one section revealed that he was also The fact of not being rich.
After Mo Xiaoyao nodded, he shook his head again: "Brother, although I came here to avoid disaster, I don't plan to stay here for a long time. I need a place to live, but is there a place for people to rent for a few nights?" ?”
"Leasing for a few nights... Then you can come to my house. How about a cloth coin for a night?"
The man's eyes lit up, but the round-faced man was happy at this moment, showing his yellow teeth: "Wei San, you don't have to be so eager to cheat people, right? You're still here in public, so you're not afraid of being slapped in the face? "
