Me and countless me

For a moment, Liu Xiu wanted to give the man in front of him a sword.

It's not because the other party has evil intentions towards his beloved elder sister Yin Lihua, but because Li Ke said Yin Lihua's name to him in this situation.

Yin Lihua is the daughter of a local wealthy family and her beloved eldest sister. Her gentle temperament can always make her forget the troubles in the world. She can eat two more bowls of rice just by looking at her face. Liu Xiu didn't think that the man in front of her, who looked like a wealthy man at first glance, didn't know who Yin Lihua was.

At first, I thought the person in front of me would be a good person, but now it seems that he is just a scoundrel.

However, Liu Xiu still agreed with what the person in front of him said.

"Yes...when you marry, you should marry Yin Lihua."

If she hadn't been born a girl, she would have wanted to marry sister Yin Lihua, but unfortunately, she was born a girl, and sister Yin Lihua's marriage was not something that a small person like herself could have the final say. My sister’s future marriage won’t be very happy.

However, after this interruption, Liu Xiu gave up the idea of ​​being Li Ke's concubine. Although she was not a young lady from a wealthy family, she was still a decent Han clan member, and she was quite arrogant in her heart.

Li Ke was teasing her and talking about marrying another woman. He looked like a deceiver at first glance, so she withdrew her hand, looked at the fields on the side of the road, and abruptly changed the subject.

"But this year's harvest is not very good."

At this point, Liu Xiu wanted to sigh. Although her family was not considered a common people, it could barely be considered a powerful one, but if the fields continued to fail and the officials continued to exploit them, her family would be ruined.

This is also the reason why her eldest brother keeps recruiting customers.

When necessary, you can rob other people to maintain your own status, otherwise if you become a civilian...

Thinking of this, Liu Xiu shuddered.

She knew what it was like for common people who rented their own fields. A woman would go to work in the fields the day after giving birth. Sometimes pregnant women would even work in the fields, wrapped in grass leaves. The whole family only had one Trousers, living in a thatched house, with snakes, insects, rats and ants as companions, even rats are meat as extra food.

She didn't want to become that kind of existence.

Li Ke also fell silent. Near his home, because of him, the farmers on his land could still live, at least they could put on clothes, but here...

Li Ke was a little silent when he looked at the farmer who didn't even have any rags on his body and just had some grass leaves wrapped around his lower body.

No matter how poor the poor are, they all have clothes to wear. This is just the new dynasty. For a long time, being naked was the norm for the people at the bottom.

Otherwise, why can clothes full of patches be pawned in a pawn shop?

"Yes, the harvest is not good, and many of these farmers may not be able to survive the winter, but they still have to farm here..."

Li Ke looked at the farmer in the distance and sighed deeply. He forgot about Liu Xiu for a while, but was thinking about his future behavior.

Without magical powers, he only has the strength to fight against a hundred people. Many things are very troublesome to do, but fortunately, he still has the strength to fight against a hundred people.

He also looked at the condition of the fields. Unless someone came to provide relief, the farmers here would be hungry and would not survive this winter.

But they haven't rioted or fled yet. They are betting that the high-ranking families here are willing to give them some way to survive, and the court will not impose corvees and taxes.

In this case, half of the people in the family would die and the bodies would still be alive if they were boiled.

Then, Li Ke heard Yin Lihua beside him speak indifferently.

"So they are stupid. Although they are pitiful, they are really stupid."

Liu Xiu looked at the farmers with her red eyes, and spoke under Li Ke's dumbfounded gaze.

"I'm going to farm even if I'm about to die. Isn't that stupid? If it were me, I would probably immediately find a way to change some wine, drink and have fun, and then..."

Liu Xiu originally wanted to lead a group of people to rob, but suddenly remembered that the people around him were not his children, so he stopped talking.

Li Ke, on the other hand, looked at Liu Xiu dumbfounded, with only one thought in his mind.

"Is Yin Lihua's path so wild?!"

But immediately after, Li Ke fell silent, because in the historical records he saw, it was not the first time that Liu Xiu led beasts to eat people, massacred cities and robbed, and asked his subordinates to rob the dividends.

So it was understandable that Yin Lihua was like this, but he still couldn't help but speak in order to come out.

"Why do you say that?"

After Li Ke asked, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, because it was a well-known fact that the Han Dynasty was almost destroyed.

However, Liu Xiu was also frightened by Li Ke's shocked attitude, and she asked in disbelief.

"Isn't this what all wealthy families do?"

This is what she has seen since she was a child. All wealthy people do the same thing. People can only eat people if they don't want to be eaten. But the person in front of her looks like a wealthy person at first glance. Why is she so surprised?

Li Ke: “…………”

Li Ke was silent for a while, and then realized that he had once again committed the arrogance of those who judge the past with the eyes and moral standards of future generations.

In this chaotic era, people like Liu Xiu cannot get ahead without becoming a bandit.

Many of my evaluations of him are purely because I am Wang Mang.

"I know, but a prosperous world shouldn't look like this."

"But this world isn't prosperous either?"

The more Liu Xiu looked at Li Ke, the more she disliked him. She felt that Li Ke had something wrong with his mind. What kind of prosperous world could he live in?

She, a member of the Han clan, has to go to the streets to collect tolls. How can this be called a prosperous world?

Li Ke felt that Yin Lihua's words really hurt her lungs, but this was also true.

Yin Lihua is a native-born person, so for Yin Lihua, this is the real rule.

"Nowadays, among the most powerful families, who is not a pack of wolves, counting on a person who stands out, has strength, and is distributed fairly to be the leader? If you don't become a pack of wolves, how can you survive? In today's world, there is no such thing as Is it because the Wolf Lord is not fierce enough or powerful enough?”

Liu Xiu looked at the farmers in the distance. She also sympathized with them, but there were many Han clan members like this. She couldn't even save the Han clan clan members. How could she care about what these people thought? She didn't want them either. People can't even wear clothes, and they even have to eat people in winter. After all, high-ranking families like them collect poll taxes, so the more people, the better.

But those high-ranking families refused to give in, and the Han Dynasty court's words didn't count. So if the people below don't act like wolves to protect themselves, they still sympathize with these common people. Isn't it mentally ill?

Take care of these civilians, so who protects them when their homes and walls are broken down and robbed?

"Besides, this kind of thing should be something that the emperor should think about, right? After all, he is the master of this world, not us."

Liu Xiu said these words naturally. She had kept these words in her heart and would never say them out even if she died.

But looking at the person in front of him, Liu Xiu couldn't help but want to tell him that he was the right one and that his own path was the most correct for this era.

It's not that she doesn't want to be a good person, but this is an era of cannibalism, and her strength does not allow her to be a good person.

"If I were like the young master in front of me, I don't have to worry about my official career or what if I don't have rice at home, I would sympathize with them, but now, I just think about how to let them live for a while, at least to live When it’s time to pay taxes.”

Liu Xiu spoke truthfully and without any shame, while Li Ke was completely silent.

Because Liu Xiu was right. If he hadn't come from modern times, if he hadn't been born as Wang Mang, if he hadn't cheated, he would have been just a member of countless hungry wolves, waiting to be replaced by those aging wolf kings. A hungry wolf that took a bite out of his body.

A hungry wolf eats a hungry wolf that is weaker than itself, then challenges the aging wolf king after eating, and finally becomes the wolf king. This is the core of the struggle for hegemony and the experience of Liu Xiu's rise.

But it is a pity that the Wang family is such an old wolf.

The Wang family is powerful, but does not have enough talents. It is even so hungry that even a person who has been away studying for so long will be dragged into being the heir. It goes without saying that the Wang family's talents are withered.

And because of the huge size of the Wang family, he must use people from the Wang family after he takes office, otherwise they will be swallowed up by others. However, the Wang family has no talents, which makes Wang Mang's decree a complete joke, and there is no Enough to intimidate others.

Liu Xiu, on the other hand, completely regards himself as the wolf master. He knows very well that his men are a group of hungry wolves, so he is more hungry than the hungry wolves and ensures that the hungry wolves under him can survive.

My previous comments about him were indeed not very good.

But that doesn't stop him from saying Liu Xiu is the one.

after all--

He is Wang Mang!

So Li Ke nodded to 'Yin Lihua'.

"Yeah, you're right. No matter what kind of emperor he is, he just eats people in the end, but the way of eating is different. Some people can let these guys below be eaten willingly, but some can't. Even the Wolf King can’t do it.”

Li Ke looked at Liu Xiu, and felt more and more that the other party was very useful to him, not only because the other party was Yin Lihua, and marrying her could cut off one of Liu Xiu's dragon veins, but also because of the other party's thoughts and personality, which could become Your own mirror can make you understand that this is a war-torn world at all times, so that you can put away the arrogance of a time traveler that appears unconsciously.

So, Li Ke held Yin Lihua's hand again and looked at Liu Xiu affectionately.

"So come and help me, okay? I am powerful, and your eldest brother just needs a chance to make a fortune. You come to accompany me, and your eldest brother does things for me with my help. In the future, I might be able to win the position of Sangong."

Liu Xiu was startled. He didn't break away from Li Ke's hand and looked at Li Ke in surprise.

"You, why are you speaking so loudly? Who are you?"

Li Ke showed a smile.

"I am not talented, but I am the king of the Wang family..."

When he mentioned his name, the corners of Li Ke's mouth twitched before he spoke.

"Wang Mang, I plan to change my name after a while, but the name I plan to change is a bastard, bastard, shit name to me, so I am a little hesitant now... But speaking of it, this bastard is still you. A fellow countryman."

Li Ke didn't blush or gasp when he talked about Liu Xiu. Admittedly, he already knew that the reason why he completely denied Liu Xiu was because he was Wang Mang.

but--

Is there anything wrong with Wang Mang scolding Liu Xiu? ! His scolding Liu Xiu has nothing to do with Liu Xiu's ability, okay? !

And after this failure, Liu Xiu will kill his whole family. If he succeeds, he will kill Liu Xiu's whole family. So as Wang Mang, it is normal and reasonable for him to scold Liu Xiu!

Even if Liu Xiu is in front of him, he dares to scold him!

Liu Xiu has never heard of the name Wang Mang, but she knows Wang. Now in the court, the three officials and the queen are all from the Wang family. It is not an exaggeration to say that they can cover the sky with one hand.

If she follows Li Ke, it is not impossible for her brother to become one of the three officials if he is good enough.

But for Liu Xiu, she cares more about another thing, that is, who is the bastard in Li Ke's mouth. For Liu Xiu, this matter is very important.

"Who is it?"

Liu Xiu raised his beautiful eyebrows, and Li Ke smiled.

"This person has good abilities, but his abilities and mentality have some problems. He is a bastard. But his name is good, Liu Xiu."

Liu Xiu was silent. She subconsciously pulled out her hand and wanted to kick the bastard in front of her, but her hand did not pull out. She also saw Li Ke's focused eyes, and suddenly she felt disgusted, speechless, and wanted to beat someone up.

She kept repeating in her heart, 'Big brother wants a career, big brother wants a chance to stand out! ' With these words, Liu Xiu resisted the intention of kicking Li Ke down, took a deep breath, and spoke with a fake smile.

"Brother Wang, it is not a good thing to curse someone behind his back... A gentleman like you can't do this..."

But Li Ke just smiled.

He stood up in the carriage, revealing a frank temperament. Li Ke didn't know why, but in front of this woman, he dared to speak his mind! There was even a feeling of childish fighting.

So——

"I dare to say this to his face!"

As he said this, Li Ke took a deep breath and was about to shout at the county town in front of him.

"Liu Xiu!! You! You are just a prostitute..."

However, before Li Ke finished speaking, Liu Xiu, who could no longer bear it, kicked him out. His delicate little foot kicked Li Ke's waist directly, kicking the defenseless Li Ke out of the carriage!
