If there is any fundamental difference between Nanchen and the previous Nanqi and Nanliang, it is probably just that the families sitting on the throne are different.
Li Xingchen never thought about changing anything from Nan Chen, whether it was the bloated family system, the complexity of the overseas relocation system, the indulgence of nobles and celebrities, or the suppression of poor children by the nine-level Zhongzheng system...
ยทยทยทยท
There are already too many shortcomings in the entire Nanchen, and even the earliest foundation of establishing a country by force and conquering the world has been silently eroded and changed.
An old emperor, a group of ministers who plotted against each other, and a mediocre heir. In the eyes of later generations like Li Xingchen, this dynasty had long been exposed.
It's just that in history, the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the north was no better than Nan Chen after Yu Wenyun ascended the throne, so these two weak giants could not do anything to each other.
It was not until Yang Jian came to the throne that he overthrew everything and started over. The Northern Zhou Dynasty, or the Sui Dynasty that replaced it, suddenly became strong and powerful. By that time, Nan Chen was just an ant that could be crushed to death at any time in the eyes of the Sui Dynasty.
What Li Xingchen wanted at first was to prevent himself from becoming an ant in this chaotic world, but what he wants to do more now is to restore order to this chaotic world and restore a clear sky to the world!
"Let's go and take a look at the back first. It would be great if there is anything we can use." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Also, let's see if we can find something to eat."
Lechang came back to his senses and nodded hurriedly.
If everything she had experienced before was just a shock to her, then the dilapidated temple in front of her now was like the last drop of water dripping through the stone. However, although she had clearly thought about the connections and fatalities between the various things,
But Lechang didn't know how he should tell others such thoughts. What was important was how he should tell Chen Xu all this.
He told his father that Nan Chen was now far more dangerous than he imagined. But Lechang didn't know whether Chen Xu would laugh it off like before, or get angry directly. His father was no longer the arrogant person he was when he was young.
On the battlefield, the general was decisive and decisive. When he became the emperor, he became more blind and proud, and also became more suspicious and vicious.
Power always makes people stupid. Lechang is familiar with history books and knows this truth very well.
Of course, she knew better that what was before her now was far from these problems, but how to survive.
Although after meeting on a narrow road in the morning, drifting on the river for a day, and struggling to climb up to the temple halfway up the mountain, the last bit of strength in his body seemed to have been drained away, but Lechang still gritted his teeth and followed Li Xingchen.
Li Xingchen was as determined and steady as a mountain. Whether he was on the mountain road or in the cave this morning, he never feared or flinched. Only by following this man closely could Lechang feel an indescribable sense of security.
Perhaps because it was deeper into the forest, the entire second half of the temple had been completely swallowed up by trees. Weeds as tall as a man and tall trees had blocked Li Xingchen's path, leaving him with only one foot.
He kicked open the side door, but before taking a few steps out of the side door, Li Xingchen was startled.
Lechang, who staggered to his side, followed Li Xingchen's eyes curiously.
Although the trees were stacked on top of each other, there was still no way to cover up the wisps of heat coming out of the branches, and the corner of the pond that was not blocked by the branches clearly told Lechang what was in front of him.
"Hot spring?" Lechang grabbed Li Xingchen's sleeve in disbelief, with an unconcealed look of excitement on his tired and pretty face.
Girls have never had a high resistance to hot springs and bathing, especially girls like Lechang who are from a noble family and like to be clean. Although they have soaked in cold streams several times before, they were all forced, and now they finally see the heat.
How could the steaming spring water not make Lechang excited?
Like a thirsty traveler in the desert who sees the sweet spring water not far away.
Fatigue and fear, worry and care were all thrown out of the sky at this moment. Lechang looked straight at the hot spring in front of him, but then turned his head slightly to look at Li Xingchen.
If Li Xinchen hadn't been here, she would have run over there long ago. But now in front of Li Xinchen, it was certainly impossible for Lechang to take off his clothes.
Li Xingchen walked straight to the hot spring. The hot spring pool was not very big. It was probably that the monks in the temple accidentally discovered that there was a hot spring here before, so they took advantage of the situation and dug up the pool as a place for bathing and changing clothes.
Even through the thick fog, you can still see the clear water surface, and of course there are obviously artificially piled and polished stones under the water.
Li Xingchen smiled and said: "Your Highness, you can take a bath, and I will go to the temple to find out if there is anything we can use."
As he spoke, Li Xingchen took off his sword and placed it on the edge of the pool: "After all, this place is not in a temple. Your Highness must be careful."
But before Li Xingchen could leave, Lechang shook his head subconsciously: "If you want... or forget it."
Li Xingchen was startled for a moment, and then he understood that Lechang was also a little scared. After all, this was in the wilderness, but he didn't say when those damn black-clothed killers would appear, or whether there would be others in this dense mountain forest.
Insects, insects and wild animals are also unknown.
"Then just wait behind this tree. Your Highness can tell you anything you want," Li Xingchen said helplessly.
Lechang was somewhat embarrassed that Li Xingchen had seen through his thoughts, but the temptation of the hot springs was indeed difficult for Lechang to resist.
I don't know how much time passed, but Li Xingchen was already so dizzy that he was about to fall asleep. Only then did he hear a voice behind him: "General Li, why don't you take a dip in the hot spring for a while?"
Li Xingchen suddenly opened his eyes, looked back, and couldn't help but hold his breath.
Lechang had already finished bathing, but because the water on her body was still wet, she only wore underwear. The loose and thin clothes were tied loosely with a belt, and it seemed that they might fall apart at any time. And she was now putting them on.
The tied hair was untied, dropped into the water, and gently combed with hands.
Perhaps because of the heat of the water, Lechang's pretty face looked flushed, but the exposed skin was white and flawless. If it weren't for Li Xingchen's good concentration, he might not even be able to move his eyes away.
"No need for you." Li Xingchen said hurriedly, "I just flushed it through the water this morning."
What a joke, when Lechang was taking a bath, he could watch from the side, but when he was taking a bath, Li Xingchen didn't dare to let Lechang stand guard. I'm afraid there was really some danger. How could this girl be attacked and killed by others?
