“…”

The system is unlocking. According to Yingying's understanding, it is impossible to unlock the so-called "天" for less than 70 or 80 days and half a month. Maybe one shutdown and restart will be required in the middle to display the new task.

The system did not disappoint Yingying. When they entered the northwest area, the task that was unlocking was not successful yet.

The northwest was remote and desolate. Yingying and the others were also assassinated from the imperial city on the way. Fortunately, the secret guards around Qinrong were well trained and quickly dealt with them.

"When you send the news back, let Qiu Yu keep an eye on the Minister of War." Now all the government affairs in the palace are left to Kong Wei and Gu Mingzhi. Qiu Yu has become the minister of Dali Temple because Qin Rong, holding a secret guard of Qin Rong, and is monitoring the entire imperial city in the dark.

Yingying watched the secret guard dragging the body away at this moment, and asked curiously: "I have given the government affairs to my father and I have told you, how can the third brother hand it over to Prime Minister Kong with confidence?"

They all have memories of their previous lives, so they will naturally not forget the incident of Kong Wei forcing the palace to seize the throne.

Qin Rong smiled meaningfully, "With your aunt here, Kong Wei will not rebel."

Everyone can see that Kong Wei is interested in Gu Manru. If you think about the palace changes caused by Kong Wei's previous life, it is not difficult to see that he has no intention of the throne, mainly to retaliate against the Jing royal family. Now that Gu Manru is alive, he will naturally be honest and keep the people at ease to do things for him.

Yingying understood, and while being happy for her aunt, she whispered: "The third brother is too calculating."

If he didn't know how to plot, how could he hold Yingying firmly in his previous life? Qin Rong said nothing, but just instructed Xiaodai, who was walking with him, to take out the thick fox fur from the box in advance.

Due to different geographical locations, the northwest peaks are more colder than the imperial city.

When Yingying and the others stepped into the northwest city, it was snowing heavily there, the snow on the ground was extremely thick, and the whole world was covered with white. The emperor's convoy was huge. In order to avoid embezzlement by officials, the convoy transporting food and salary were in parallel.

The group had just entered the city, and a group of officials from this small town were waiting at the city gate. The magistrate here received news in advance, fearing that he would hit the emperor's carriage, so he issued a ban on his own. At this moment, the people in the city stayed in their doors and did not leave the streets, and it was impossible to see the impact of the war on this small town.

"It's so troublesome." Qin Rong said coldly, and only half a day of rectification was made, he ordered the convoy to continue on the road. After that, the army camped and set up a tent across the city without entering again. Only a small group of people followed Qin Rong into the city.

The closer it gets to the northwest war zone, the colder it becomes. Just after two cities, Yingying couldn't help but wear her thickest fox fur. The secret guards under Qin Rong were everywhere in every corner. In order to find Gu Lingxiao, they would go in to inspect every city.

When we arrived at another city, Yingying held the hand stove and insisted on following Qinrong.

Compared with the first two cities, the place has begun to be affected by the war. Many refugees from the war-torn areas have flocked to this peaceful city. The corners of the streets are full of refugees, and some injured people are begging with their broken bodies.

"Girl, let's have a meal. I haven't eaten for three days." A thin young man with one arm held a broken porcelain bowl and came to Yingying. Xiaodai, who was following behind, hurriedly stopped him, but he pushed him gently but didn't want to push him to the ground.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die if I don't eat." The one-armed young man seemed hungry and had no strength, and it took him a long time to get up.

Yingying in her previous life did not understand the sufferings of the world and could ignore it, but she was very soft-hearted in this life. She saw that she was too pitiful and asked Xiaodai to reward the money.

On the way afterwards, Yingying would order Xiaodai to give money to her. At the end, Xiaodai touched her pocket and sighed: "Madam, my servant's wallet is empty."

"Isn't it all?" Yingying looked at the old man kneeling in front of her, touched her earlobe and took off her earrings.

Qin Rong did not stop this. He put a hood on Yingying, but asked indifferently: "Didn't you never mind these things before?"

Yingying knew what Qin Rong was referring to, and her eyes looked gloomy: "I was not good before."

If it were just Qin Rong in this life, she would not have been surprised by Yingying's kindness. At this time, Qin Rong had the memories of the previous life. He had witnessed Yingying's all evil, so he naturally knew that she did not like beggars in her previous life.

"Since I have lived for a lifetime, I will naturally try my best to make up for the mistakes I have made." Yingying said this, holding Qin Rong's hand and said, "I have to thank my third brother for this. It was the third brother who taught me to be kind."

Qin Rong curled her lips slightly and replied gently: "It seems that I taught me very successfully."

What he calls teaching is to punish and lock people up and put them on chains, which is really not something that ordinary people can bear.

Yingying was afraid that Qin Rong would misunderstand his own methods because of his flattery, so she quickly added: "That's just the same, it's mainly based on my own understanding."

She doesn't want to be taught to be a human being again.

After walking another street, Qin Rong took Yingying to the inn for dinner and met the secret guard leader of the city in the private room. While the two were discussing the matter, Yingying went out to stroll after dinner. Xiao Dai protected her, for fear that she would be hit by the refugees coming and going.

"What happened before?" Before we walked far, the two were blocked by the crowd gathered at the intersection.

Yingying heard a faint crying sound, and when she approached, she found that it was a girl crying. She knelt on the ground in her coat, hugging a fainted woman in her arms and cried: "Sister, wake up, don't leave Xue'er alone."

The word "Xue'er" made Yingying's heart thrill. Although she knew that this name was very common and easy to get along with, she couldn't help but look at the girl more often.

It was indeed not the "Xue'er" she knew. The girl in front of her had a dirty face. Although her face was covered with mud, it was not difficult to see her delicate facial features. She was brighter and more beautiful than the Xue'er she knew.

"Sister, can you wake up? Xueer can't be without you. You wake up soon. Parents are still waiting for us to bury." The girl named Xueer was still crying, her crying hoarse and pitiful sobbing.

Yingying noticed that there were two white cloth bodies in front of her, with five big words "Selling one's body to bury my father and mother" written on it. This book is nothing new. I'm afraid that so many people can gather here, and they all like Xue'er's good looks.

Almost all the onlookers were men. She cried for too long. Yingying saw that most of the mud on her face had been washed away. Her exposed skin was white and delicate, and her tears were fascinating.

Finally, a man couldn't help but walk over. He touched Sister Xue'er's neck and said, "Little Beauty, stop crying, your sister is dead."

"No, I don't believe it. My sister was talking to me just now..." Xueer shook her head and couldn't believe it.

The man persuaded him a few more words, and when he saw that he couldn't persuade him, he shouted: "Your sister's body is cold, it's all considered that it's okay just now and I've been frozen to death!"

He was not a kind-hearted person. He just fell in love with Xueer's appearance. As he said that, he went to pull Xueer's arm and deceived her: "Look at this pitiful look, let's go, the master will take you to buy warm clothes."

Xueer was stubborn and refused to get up, insisting on holding her sister.

She probably knew that her sister was dead, and tears flowed even more violently, and her crying body was trembling. She was pulled by the man twice. She knelt in front of him and seemed to admit her fate: "As long as the benefactor is willing to bury my parents and sister, Xueer will follow you."

The man rolled up his sleeves and smiled, "It's okay to bury one, but who has the spare money for three people at once. If you are smart enough, don't worry about these three dead people. Follow the master home and you will definitely have a meal."

Xue'er begged: "Although my parents did not join the army, they died of fighting the Pingsha Army. Before they died, they took away a Pingsha Army. I can't let them not even have a coffin after they died."

"Please benefactor, please pity my parents. They are all heroes, and Xueer doesn't want to let them feel wronged again."

The man was unmoved and spat impatiently: "Dog, shit hero! Are you following me?"

Most of the men present watched the show, and a few of them wanted to step forward but were afraid of something. In the end, Yingying drove away the man who wanted to forcibly rob people. She squatted in front of Xueer and said, "Stop crying, sister, help you bury your relatives."

Yingying had no money on her body, so she took off the ring on her hand. In this monotonous snowy color, the silver-white ring she picked was inlaid with a red gem, which was brilliance at first glance.

Xueer saw that she was stuffed into her hands without any nostalgia, and she was so shocked that she couldn't even cry.

"Sister, do you really want to give this to Xueer?" Xueer's eyelashes were slender at close range, and her beautiful eyes were innocently seductive.

If this were in her previous life, she would have been itchy to turn people into her mansion, but now Yingying is left with only heartache.

Nodding, she helped Xueer brush the snow on her hair, her tone was light and serious: "You are right. Although your parents have not joined the army, they are all heroes. They cannot die in grievances and can match a good coffin."

Xueer's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her watery eyes kept staring at Yingying.

"I'm leaving." Yingying wouldn't stay in this city for too long, so she couldn't help Xue'er more.

As she got up, Xueer grabbed her skirt and looked up at her and said, "Since my sister is willing to bury Xueer's relatives, Xueer will be her sister's person from now on. Xueer is willing to be a cow and horse for her sister and give you the whole life."

Yingying was stunned and had no choice but to squat in front of her again, "I don't want your life."

Since Xueer called her sister, she was willing to fulfill her responsibilities for a short time. She explained to her: "It is yours that I give you money. I help you just out of kindness and do not ask for your reward or anything."

Motionallying Xue'er to get closer, Yingying wiped the mud from the corner of the wall and picked up her cheek. In Xue'er's stunned, she evenly applied the black mud in her hand to her face until it was impossible to see what she was originally looking.

"You are so beautiful. You must protect yourself when you go out." Yingying leaned into her ear and whispered.

When she got up and left, she thought for a while and added: "Everyone's life is very precious, there is no so-called despicable life. Xue'er must protect such a precious thing in the future and no one is allowed to give it to her."

Xue'er was stunned. It was not until Yingying took a few steps that she came to her senses. She insisted on asking again: "Sister, do you really want Xue'er to follow her?"

It was snowing heavily, Yingying waved to her while stepping on the snow. She turned her head and smiled at her with her eyebrows and eyes curled, and her soft voice simply refused: "Xue'er must take good care of herself in the future."

At this moment, with a knife in the wind, Xueer knelt on the spot and clenched the ring that Yingying gave her. After a long time, she stood up and walked to the dark corner and said, "It's done well."

The man who followed her was the man who had just made things difficult for her. At this moment, the man changed his arrogance and bowed his body to look at him and looked at him with a smile on his lips, and said in a long tone: "What a pity-"

"I really don't like your touch just now."

The man looked up in horror: "Subordinate, subordinate knows his mistake..."

They just had a real fake scene. The man not only pulled her arm but also touched her face, but even made Xueer kowtow to him. Just as he was about to kneel down and beg for mercy, a blood thread suddenly appeared between the man's neck, but in the blink of an eye there was no sound.

Two black shadows appeared silently in front of Xueer. Xueer, holding a face dyed with black mud, did not raise her head, and played with the gem ring in her hand and ordered: "Troubleshoot it."

“…”

Leaving Xueer, the system collected the city data not long after, and it told Yingying that there was no breath of Gu Lingxiao in the city.

Yingying has heard this sentence several times. It is false to say that it is not depressed, but fortunately they still have several cities to go, so Yingying thought that Gu Lingxiao might be in the next city.

At first, Yingying comforted herself like this, until she followed Qin Rong into the next city. When she saw the tragic situation in the city, she realized how stupid she was. Compared to the possibility that Gu Lingxiao might be hiding in a war-torn area, Yingying hoped that it would be a systematic judgment error. Gu Lingxiao was actually hiding in those peaceful cities.

When arriving at the new city, Qin Rong frowned when she heard the name of the city, and said to Yingying for no reason: "It's better to have a good rest here, and the third brother will go back."

Previously, they went to every city instead of looking for people from door to door. They mainly handed over Gu Lingxiao's portrait to the secret guards hiding in the city, and asked them to be responsible for finding people.

Yingying was stunned when she heard this. Her purpose was different from Qinrong. She went to the city mainly to let the system collect data in the city and ask it to help her find people, so she had to go there, and she had to go to every city.

Seeing that she was persistent and didn't force her too much, Qin Rong waited for Yingying to get off the carriage in a fox fur, and he put on a black cloak on her fox fur in one go.

"Prepare well, try not to expose the clothes inside." Qin Rong reminded him, and also put a cloak on his body.

Yingying was puzzled, but after entering the city, she suddenly understood...
