Extra Story: Water is also Xiangsheng

"I'm tired. You are also involved in the dance of Haiguo, so I have nothing to teach you..."

Tu Shanyue didn't even know why she had to tell Mu Yi all this. Could she still expect a chance encounter to provoke a famous person just to help her?

The daimyo entrenched in the capital are all extremely powerful demons. Not to mention Mu Ji's willingness to offend them, he also doesn't want her to die.

Holding Zashiki Warashi in his arms, Mu Ji looked at Tu Shanyue's somewhat lonely back and didn't know what to say.

Although she is enthusiastic, she is not a reckless person, and it is impossible for her to make up her mind to fight against the big monster clan in Haiguo just because of Tu Shanyue's experience.

I just wanted to learn technology and experience, but it turned out like this...

Excellent blacksmiths are all controlled by daimyo, and ordinary people are not allowed to hold weapons. Even if she wants to get the samples for research, it will be extremely difficult...

"Take it one step at a time! Now is not the time to get into trouble!"

Mu Yi shook his head, stood up, tidied his clothes, and returned to his room.

At some point, there was a table of dishes in her room, with a variety of seafood and beef that looked very delicious.

"Wow! It must be delicious!!"

Mu Yu drooled just looking at it. He sat down and picked up the chopsticks. He picked up the sushi next to him with his left hand and took a bite first. There was a wriggling hot spring egg on the steaming beef rice bowl. After piercing it with the chopsticks, it turned out to be bright yellow.

The egg liquid flows out, leaving an attractive color on the tender and juicy beef.

"Uh huh!! Good times, good times!!!"

There was a pink wine bottle placed next to the dishes. When Mu Ji sniffed it, the surprise in his eyes could not be greater.

"Flower wine! The taste is elegant...it's still sweet! Although it's not very strong, it's definitely delicious!!"

After thinking for a while, she did not take off the mask immediately, but pressed the mechanism next to the mask, and the mask below the nose was put away, and then she began to happily enjoy the wine and food.

She simply drank a bowl of wine and tasted different sashimi and seafood dishes. Especially Tu Shanyue specially prepared some snacks unique to Haiguo, which can be said to be quite rich!

"As expected of... an oiran! So many delicious foods! I'm so happy!!"

Mu Ji ate incoherently. After Qian Duan was destroyed, she was wandering around. Even if she could eat meat, she would just grill it perfunctorily. Any seasoning would be a bad luck.

Although I know how to cook delicious food, after all, I have long since lost the leisure and free time. After such a long time - this is the first time I have eaten such good food!

After eating, she fell down and went to sleep. The next day, Tu Shanyue was already waiting for Mu Yu to set off in the carriage.

Mu Yi was not yet fully awake, so he rubbed his eyes and walked to Tu Shanyue. Only then did he see clearly that the carriage in front of him did not seem to be an ordinary vehicle.

"Human... human face?!"

She pointed at the ferocious bald head on the wheel axle, her whole body stiff.

"Little girl! Stop pointing fingers at me!"

The man still spoke and looked at Mu Yu impatiently.

"I'm Nai Lunen Dao. I'm the envoy specially sent by the daimyo of the capital to take Lord Kagyue to the capital. Your Excellency has asked me to allow you to ride with me. Thank you very much!"

The envoys from the capital were all very arrogant. Tu Shanyue was an oiran and had an extraordinary status, so she would naturally be too indifferent. But after all, Mu Ji was obviously a newcomer, so why should she be polite to her?

"Master Lun enters the road, he is the funeral god of the wheel, and he is also the envoy responsible for the coming and going of nobles from all over the country. Don't be surprised."

He could pull Mu Yu to him in a very affectionate and protective manner, which made Lun Ruidao's expression a little awkward.

I originally thought that this woman was in love with Lord Kagyue, but looking at Lord Kagyue's attitude towards her...it was very unusual!

Fusangshen?

Mu Yi thought for a while, he should be a kind of ghost, but the wheel can also transform into a ghost, which is quite an experience!

"Then I'll set off first. Everyone, please pay attention to safety on the road!"

Tu Shanyue held Mu Yi's hand and walked into the carriage on the wheel. While leaning forward, she waved goodbye to the other tricksters on the flower street.

Although these ghosts or monsters have nothing to do with him, and they usually compete for customers, they are colleagues who live together after all, so there is no need to create too many conflicts.

Tu Shanyue usually took good care of them, and many of them smiled enthusiastically.

"Kagetsu-sama, please also be careful. The situation in the capital is unclear, so be careful in everything you do!"

"We will go to accompany you soon! When we go shopping in the capital, we might be able to bump into one or two children of the famous family. If we can be noticed, it will be a good thing~"

The good sisters all burst into laughter, and their charming laughter and charming grace made the passers-by feel a little dazed.

Among them, Mu Yu saw the gentle woman with snow-white hair and the sexy woman with black hair. Both of them looked at Tu Shanyue with gratitude, but did not speak.

They are also ghosts who have suffered discrimination and humiliation. Compared with Tu Shanyue's experience, their fate is also quite tragic.

Even though Master Huaxiao issued an amnesty order to all the ghosts in the Sea Kingdom, the living conditions of ghosts like Yuki Onna and Luo Xinfu who once made a living by harming people did not change much, and they were even driven out and killed by other monster clans.

However, Tu Shanyue extended a helping hand to them and told them how to settle down and make a living, letting them understand that even ghosts can win respect and a better life through their skills.

In troubled times, even in Flower Street, we can still live peacefully and happily.

Mu Yi watched the tricks through the rear window of the carriage. After the wheel entered the road for a certain distance, it ascended directly into the sky. Flames erupted from the wheels and gradually flew up to the clouds.

"You actually have a lot of friends!"

From all the way up in the sky, Mu Yi could see the women from the flower street still watching them leave, lying at the window and saying something blankly.

"They are not friends." Tu Shanyue held up her chin as she was being welcomed away, but she didn't care about their enthusiasm. "They are just a bunch of poor people clinging to keep warm in this kind of cannibalistic society."

The woman stopped talking, and the two of them sat in the carriage on the wheel, listening to the howling wind outside, and the scenery of the sea under their feet gradually appeared in front of Mu Yu's eyes.

Green mountains and green waters, flowers, birds, insects, and fish are extremely pleasing to the eye at every glance, and just when Mu Yi thought that such scenery would be monotonous and repeated until she saw the capital, the next scene reminded her of her old dreams.

On the wasteland covered with loess and filled with scorched smoke, battle armors and corpses that had long since turned into bones lay scattered on the ground. It was difficult to even see the complete corpses. Arrows that were almost completely decayed fell from the gaps in the bones.

, centipedes and spiders also crawled out.

There are obviously no living people, but this scene can scare away half of the living people who have never seen the cruelty of the battlefield!

"This...these are..."

Even Mu Ji, in the battlefield of Qiandian, only saw his citizens being massacred by black dragons. There was no pain, and there was no cruelty of compatriots killing each other.

However, some of the skeletons presented here are from monster beasts that can be ridden, and some are monsters that were killed before they could leave their human form.

"It's just a remnant from when the daimyo launched a war of conquest. Why, do you think it's strange?"

Tu Shanyue's smile was very ironic——

"The various vassal states in the Sea Kingdom have tens of thousands of citizens in large ones, and only a village of a hundred people in small ones, but everyone fights for survival and land, regardless of race, just to have more land and food for their own country."

Mu Yi also understood that in a country as small as Haiguo, resources and land were bound to be in high demand, but she even saw monsters of the same race on the battlefield, wearing different armors, falling in front of each other.

!

Are the differences between countries actually so strong?

"Situations like this are rare in the spiritual world, right? Sometimes those swordsmen would kill their wives and children without hesitation for half a rice ball, but they would cut off their fingers or even cut off their hearts for their master!"

His eyes showed disgust and hatred——

"The daimyo can enjoy beauties and endless water and food in the golden palace, but many children and elderly people in the village can only watch their harvests being taken away and starve to death!"

He knew this very well. Before he was exiled to Flower Street, he lived the same life, even more cruel and painful!

"Young men are taken away to fight, and fertile women are left alone at home to take care of housework and farming. When the country is occupied, those women will be thrown into the army and turned into playthings!"

But all the emotions were restrained in the next moment, and Tu Shanyue's expression was filled with only sarcasm and weakness——

"This is the Sea Kingdom. The world and tyranny pursued by those princes are just unreasonable killing and plundering in the eyes of the people who have no power or weapons!"

Mu Yi did not deny Tu Shanyue's statement, but just looked at a village indifferently. Smoke was rising from the cooking pots. Even though those people were already hungry and thin, they were still working hard in the nearly dry fields with farm tools.

"But even in such a desperate world, aren't there still people struggling hard?"

She smiled, not optimistic, but not disappointed either.

"No matter how cruel the world is, there will still be people who choose to struggle. They just want to live. It has nothing to do with the ideals of the princes. They just want to keep their lives. Such a struggle is by no means powerless!"

The current situation in the Sea Kingdom has lasted for a hundred years, and Tu Shanyue has never seen the dawn, but it does not mean that Mu Ji, who is traveling around the spiritual world, has not seen it.

"In fact, in many countries in the spiritual world, such wars continue in many places. Do you know what happened to those who suffered afterwards?"

Tu Shanyue shook his head and looked at Mu Yi with a hint of curiosity and exploration in his eyes.

"In the end, everyone won! When the strife between countries comes to an end, there will eventually be a powerful country that will rule all the land. The people will not care who will win the final victory, but if the lord can promise them a stable and beautiful life,

Then we will definitely be able to continue the country for a long time!”

This is not the so-called way of governing the country as Mu Yi understands it, but it is the people-oriented concept that his father and brother have always emphasized.

"The sages of the human race once said this, 'Water can carry a boat or capsize it'! The river below the People's Lord's Court carries them in a better direction, but no matter how the boat itself operates, the water flow is what

The fundamental factor that determines whether they can continue sailing! Don’t you think so?”

"..."

Tu Shanyue didn't say anything. He had always hated the daimyo and the nobles before, and he felt that the ignorant people were weak and incompetent, but he never thought about the future, let alone the future and the way forward.

Unexpectedly...she clearly doesn't seem to have much wisdom, but she has unique insights in these aspects!

"But you, a foreigner, are open-minded...my ideas are too narrow-minded after all!"

"Really? These are not what I said! My father and my brother..."

Mu Yi suddenly shut up again, always feeling that if he continued talking, Tu Shanyue would find out some clues.

As expected, Tu Shanyue looked at Mu Ji who suddenly became silent and frowned.

Did her father and brother ever mention such a topic? If this is true, she is just an ordinary person in Linglu... That would be strange!

Even Tu Shanyue, who grew up in Haiguo, understands that in any region or country, this kind of philosophy of governing the world is definitely not something that ordinary people can mention, let alone something that can be preached in front of future generations.

Once someone notices it, it would be disrespectful!

Under his increasingly weird gaze, Mu Yu turned her back to him in the corner of the carriage and began to hypnotize herself.
