Quick Transmigration: Help! What to do when my husband is obsessed with love?

Chapter 73 Rebellious Officials of the Former Dynasty 5

Ling Yi traveled onward, observing everything in this world along the way.

The more she observed, the more speechless she became.

A few days later, during the lunch break, she finally spoke with a sigh: "Taxes have been reduced from three-tenths of the previous dynasty to one-thirtieth. The current emperor is a veteran who fought his way to the throne, and the crown prince has merit in defending the city, making his position extremely secure. The new emperor is using new methods to suppress the powerful families..."

Combining the rumors circulating among the people with the current policies, Ling Yi posed a thought-provoking question: "What kind of rebellion are these guys plotting?"

Without popular support, without troops, and even unable to win over established civil service families, this effort is likely to be in vain.

688 paused for a moment, then stammered, "It's quite reasonable for humans to have some unrealistic dreams, isn't it?"

Ling Yi: "?"

Isn't it a bit too absurd that it's so illogical?

688 whispers: [What about that mentally ill guy from the last world who, after forty or fifty years of establishing a nation, still wanted to restore the monarchy and become emperor, only to be suppressed by three police officers from a local station?]

Having witnessed such absurd things, what makes you think it's absurd for the Chen dynasty, which had a total of 3,000 soldiers, civilians, women, and children, to rebel?

Ling Yi: "..."

This was the first time she had been rendered speechless by 688. After a long silence, she sneered, "Then I wish them success."

Success is not an option; Ling Yi even believes that the guards Xiao Yao currently has around can easily quell this rebellion.

As for why Xiao Xian stood out among the princes for such a small achievement?

Anyone who can breathe is a traitor. If we drag in a few disobedient gentry and noble families, wouldn't that be enough heads?

"Heroine Ling!" Just as Ling Yi was disgusted by Xiao Xian's behavior, an overly exquisite face once again came into her view.

Xiao Yao presented the lunch, delivered by fast horse from the rear, to Ling Yi like a precious treasure: "It's time to eat!"

Ling Yi looked down at the food, which didn't look like camping food at all, and said helplessly, "Why didn't you just let them follow us?"

The guy with dreams of wandering the martial world snorted twice and said confidently, "With them around, can I still call myself a wanderer of the martial world?"

Ling Yi couldn't help but touch his hair: "Silly."

This isn't exactly what it means to roam the martial world. Who can eat fresh fruits, vegetables, and meat every day while maintaining a dashing white-clad appearance?

Eating pancakes and getting covered in sand is the standard attire for a江湖 (jianghu) person.

This guy was just playing house.

Xiao Yao rubbed his head against Ling Yi's palm twice, grinning foolishly and ignoring Ling Yi's words, instead asking curiously, "Where do you want to go?"

He finally managed to get out of the capital, and he'll be home soon if he walks back!

Ling Yi raised an eyebrow: "Didn't you say you consider the world your home? Why do you still care where you go?"

Xiao Yao scratched his face and muttered softly, "Even if you're at home anywhere, you can't just go straight home."

Ling Yi's ears twitched, as if she hadn't heard him clearly: "What did you say?"

"I say you're right, I'll go anywhere as long as I'm with you!" Xiao Yao's voice suddenly rose, his guilty look completely undisguised.

Ling Yi looked at the rolling mountains and smiled, "Is that so? How about we go hunting together?"

Their itinerary is so carefree; when they're in the mood, they travel non-stop all day, and when they're relaxed, they linger in one place for several days.

Hearing Ling Yi's words, Xiao Yao assumed that she was going to reward him again, and his eyes widened in surprise: "Really?"

He had never seen Ling Yi hunt before.

After Ling Yi nodded, he jumped up like a bear that had just received honey: "Lu'an, where's my jade thumb ring? Where's my bow?"

Lu An watched his master frolicking around, and helplessly looked at the woman leaning against the tree, leisurely enjoying her lunch. He wondered what kind of drug she had given his master that made him so infatuated.

"Please wait a moment, Master. I will have someone bring it over immediately."

These two ancestors are working together; they're going to be busy from now on.

Xiao Yao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, we need to get as many as possible, and let her choose!"

Lu An: "...Understood."

Having received the assurance, Xiao Yao carelessly snuggled up to Ling Yi and enjoyed lunch with her.

He pointed and gestured, telling Lingyi to try this and that.

All sorts of rare delicacies offered as tribute, all sorts of blood-nourishing medicines—Ling Yi was to try them all.

After lunch, when Ling Yi felt like her ears were calloused, the rest of the food was delivered.

Xiao Yao tugged at Ling Yi's sleeve, eagerly looking at his treasures.

"This one is made of wolf sinew, this one is made of deer sinew, and this one is even more impressive—it's made of tiger sinew, but I can't pull it." One after another, ornate longbows inlaid with jewels or simple and elegant longbows were laid out on the ground like merchandise, left for the naive young master to choose from.

As Xiao Yao introduced the bow, Ling Yi's fingertips traced the longbows one by one, finally landing on a heavy bow.

"Do you want this?" Xiao Yao looked at the rough and beautiful heavy bow with surprise, and said carefully, "Only my chief guard can open this. It's very heavy."

Glancing at the creature with its mouth and sieve-like shape, Ling Yi drew her bow and shot an arrow.

The arrow made a sharp sound the moment it left the bowstring.

A moment later, the trees a hundred paces away were pierced, with only the fletching remaining outside, making a buzzing sound.

"Bravo!" Cheers erupted around him, and Xiao Yao clapped until his hands were red. "Amazing! Sharpshooter! The best in the world!"

A barrage of flattery flew from his mouth, causing the fierce look in Ling Yi's eyes to vanish completely. She said helplessly, "You should be quiet."

With only a few kittens, who are you praising them to?

Xiao Yao grinned foolishly: "I'm really amazing, so why can't I even praise myself!"

That's just amazing!

At this moment, Lu An noticed that the wariness in Ling Yi's eyes was almost overflowing. With such a dangerous person by his master's side, if she even had the slightest thought, wouldn't his master...?

He paused, then looked at Xiao Yao, who was circling around Ling Yi like a puppy, and thought that if Ling Yi wasn't particularly powerful, it shouldn't be too difficult for her to hurt her master.

After all, his master was more than willing to hand his neck to them.

"This is beautiful!" Xiao Yao spent a long time choosing from the box before selecting a black jade thumb ring for Ling Yi to wear.

After wearing it, he chose a white jade one for himself.

He proudly placed his hands together and said, "We're a pair."

As he spoke, his eyes kept glancing at Lingyi.

Ling Yi smiled and gently patted his head: "Let's go, let's go into the mountains!"

When Ling Yi went to take Fei Guang's hand, Xiao Yao jumped to Lu An's side like a rabbit: "See? She didn't refute what I said!"

Lu An: "..."

Is it possible that you talked too much and she simply couldn't be bothered to argue back?

He said weakly, "Master is right. Who can refute your words?"

You are the master, whatever you say is right.
