Chapter 119 Having Fun
When the master and servant returned from the eastern suburbs, they saw that the city of Yanjing was already a bustling scene, they couldn’t help but want to wandering. The streets were crowded with people, with shops on both sides, banners fluttering in the wind, and hawking sounds repeating continuously, which was very different from the depression in the early days of the founding of the country.

“In just a few years, Yanjing has returned to the hustle bustle of the previous capital. If it continues like this, the Wei Kingdom will definitely be rich and powerful and eventually dominate the Nine Provinces.” Guan Suyi said with emotion.

Jinzi, who used to work in the military department, could not help shaking her head and sigh, “It’s possible to be rich and powerful, but it’s difficult to dominate the Nine Provinces. Xue The Thief occupied Shuzhou and other places, wantonly hoarded troops, occupied fields, gathered refugees, and expanded his power. There will be a war in Wei Kingdom. The current peace and happiness may be just a flash in the pan (short-lived).”

When Guan Suyi died in the previous life, Emperor Sheng Yuan and Xue Mingrui did have large and small battles every year. They both wanted to annex each other, but they couldn’t do anything to each other. Later, when civil unrest broke out in Wei Kingdom, Xue Mingrui took advantage of the situation to raise troops and almost went straight into the heart of the Central Plains, but was finally blocked at the border of the country by Emperor Sheng Yuan, who personally lead the expedition.

After this battle, both of them were severely damaged, and it might take many years to heal. In the end, Guan Suyi had no way of knowing who destroyed whom, who ruled whom, but she could guess that the smoke and the massacre, the death and the destruction, had never left that land.

In this life, however, the situations were different. The current Wei Kingdom was more stable, prosperous, and more united. Emperor Sheng Yuan’s prestige among the people was like sun in the sky, and the people’s sense of belonging to the country was also particularly strong. If Wei Kingdom had a few more years to recuperate, the odds of winning would be even greater.

Thinking like this, the haze in Guan Suyi’s heart finally slowly dissipated, and she pointed to the most lively West Market and said, “Come on, let’s go there and see.”

The two master and servant walked through a few streets, their faces were still full of interest, but their eyes were slightly distance.

“I feel like there’s a thorn on my back, do you?” Guan Suyi’s lips didn’t move, but her voice clearly penetrated Jinzi’s eardrums.

“This servant feel it too. We may be followed, but this servant cannot find out who they are, let alone where they are hiding. I am afraid in Wei Kingdom only His Majesty can escape the eyes and ears of the dark guard.”

“I also think it’s that bastard. There’s a cloth shop at the front. I’ll go in and buy a set of clothes, disguise myself and leave. You wait outside and if you don’t see me come out after a quarter of an hour, go back by yourself.”

“Ma…” Jinzi was glared at, so she had to change her words, “Miss, is it really okay for you to go back alone? Why don’t we agree on a place where we can meet again after throwing off His Majesty?”

Guan Suyi had never visited the city center area alone, so she couldn’t help but want to have fun and categorically rejected Jinzi’s proposal. The two walked into the cloth shop, one went inside to change clothes, and the other sat outside to attract the attention of the stalker. About a quarter of an hour later, Jinzi leisurely stepped out of the threshold with her hands behind her back, and was suddenly dragged away just after walking through a dark alley.
