MTL - I [Imperial] Am This Type of Man-Chapter 22 Conquer Slave Leaders (1)
escape! escape! escape!
There were nobles fleeing everywhere, and no one dared to stoop down to pick up the complicated clothing and precious jewelry.
——Everyone is afraid that they cannot escape if they bend down.
An old servant covered with wind and frost, carrying a teenage boy quietly out of the city, took an ox cart away from the capital.
Known as the City of Heroes, Fort Hollo has now become the "Plague City" that everyone can avoid.
The driver was the granddaughter of an old servant, named Caroline, sixteen years old. Dressed as a farmer, she drove her ox cart expertly on rugged dirt roads.
They supported on dry food and walked for more than half a month.
The young man was guarded by the old servant, could not feel the bumps on the road, closed his eyes and slept soundly--
He had been asleep for a whole month, apparently unable to eat, but without losing weight, his face was more rosy and beautiful than Caroline.
Waiting outside a village, Caroline jumped out of the ox cart, her face cautious.
Caroline turned to the old servant and said, "Grandpa, there may not be a doctor here."
The old servant said, "You need to find a warm place, or at least a fireplace."
Caroline: "..."
Caroline did not convince the old servant to give up unrealistic fantasies.
This illusion was shared by many nobles when they first fled. She is different. She has been a wild child since she was young, looking for fun and fun everywhere.
So Caroline inevitably saw a lot of things that weren't fun or fun.
Caroline told the old servant to look at the ox cart first and entered the village herself. Caroline is a girl with a petite figure. She looks only 14 or 15 years old. She looks good. Even if she is more than half a man, she is still beautiful and cute.
Caroline walked into the village, looked at several houses, and finally stopped at a house in Xiangyang.
Soon, Caroline told the host family that she would help the host family, and the host family would keep them for a while. Thinking of the spoiled "nobleman" on the car, Caroline pouted. She likes big heroes and doesn't like this kind of guy who is weaker than her, but her grandpa is dead-headed, and even if he is fleeing, he must bring the guy who will only drag others down!
Warm charcoal fire, warm bedding.
Ji Jinrong felt himself surrounded by the warm fire.
When I opened my eyes again, everything around was strange.
Even if she had been mentally prepared, Ji Jinrong's head was still a little blank. Before coming here, the two systems have been talking to the main brain, trying to get them to spend more time together. Because after reaching the new world, Wei Tingjun's memory of "the past" will be sealed.
Wei Tingjun has too many previous subjects and the main brain does not trust him.
So if he wants to see Wei Tingjun again, he has to find it himself. As for how to find it, whether you can find Wei Tingjun to remember him depends on his luck.
Ji Jinrong thinks Wei Tingjun should not be hard to find.
After all, the host chosen by the system should be particularly powerful, how can they stand at the top of this world! However, his identity was a bit troublesome. As an emperor, he was fleeing with the only old servant around him-even if he couldn't help, he was sick.
Thanks to the loyalty of the old servant, he did not abandon him when the plague was rampant--
Otherwise, he would surely have died in the troubled Hora Fort.
Ji Jinrong sat up.
Although the system of the dying king was useless, he did not lie to him. When he woke up, he adjusted his body to the best, and the pain was eliminated. For his condition, the system also listed the best treatment prescription for him, as long as the herb needed by the prescription can be found, it can be configured.
Ji Jinrong laughed.
This system is still somewhat useful. However, if he wanted to use this rare and useful function again, he would probably have to get another disease himself.
Ji Jinrong took down the prescription and turned over to get out of bed.
The clothes on the body were rough, and the body was itchy and red. Ji Jinrong forced herself to adapt to this discomfort and went out. It is winter, there is nothing to do in the farmland, and the host family is at home.
It was a kind woman, but there was always a little sadness in her brows. Because her husband had just died and her son was five years old before he reached adulthood, according to the law of the Empire, the house would be temporarily taken over by the child's uncle.
That's a greedy and despicable guy who will take the opportunity to occupy the house!
When Ji Jinrong saw the woman frown, and the old servant and Caroline disappeared, she walked up and said, "Hello Madam."
The woman woke up like a dream. She looked at Ji Jinrong, who was a bit thin, and said, "Sir, you can't do this. Although you have disguised your appearance, your words and deeds will still reveal your nobility."
Ji Jinrong frowned.
The woman saw their identity but took them in. Ji Jinrong said, "Madam, you are such a good person."
The woman was sad. "In fact, I can't keep you for too long," she said. "Soon, this house will belong to someone else. If there is a dispute then, that mean guy will not know what to do."
Ji Jinrong asked what was going on.
The woman told the truth.
Ji Jinrong learned a lot about the laws of this age from the woman's words.
This is a terrible time. Nobles and rich people occupy more and more land and wealth, and everything in the hands of the poor is deprived. What is even more hateful is that they did not come forward directly, but through the formulation of a series of harsh and unreasonable laws, they robbed the little bit of land and rations left in the hands of the poor.
The life of the poor can't go on. They can only sell themselves as slaves and start endless hard work. All they get is two meals a day, even when their stomachs are not full. Their wives and daughters will be arbitrarily occupied by slave owners, and they have no right to oppose it. When they lose their ability to work, all they wait for is starvation and death.
Darkness was shrouded in the hands of every poor man and slave.
Like this woman, she was obviously guarding the house left by her husband, but she had no right to keep it, and she could only watch it occupied by her husband's brother. If the other person is kind, they can stay here; if the other person is cold, she can only take her daughter to the streets and leave the only son who has the right to inherit this house alone-as to whether her son can No one knows if you live to adulthood!
The woman looked terribly, and sighed and prayed, "I really hope the Free Army will come here earlier."
Ji Jinrong frowned.
No wonder this empire is occupied by people. These aristocrats are too clueless to do things. They wo n’t be able to survive if they take women and people. Can they still obey your words and resist?
No wonder no one dared to be emperor in the end, only pushing the "original owner" out, ready to let the rebels send the "original owner" to the guillotine to eliminate the hatred of these slaves.
His situation is dangerous.
Ji Jinrong did not panic.
He had noticed where Caroline and her grandfather were, ended the conversation with the woman, and walked towards the mill. There is a bullpen next to the mill. The host's cow and Caroline's cow are next to each other, scratching their heads and grazing.
Caroline was pushing the mill hard, and the old servant was adding food. After placing him in place, the old servant finally calmed down and listened to his granddaughter to analyze the pros and cons. He realized that everything he knew seemed useless at this time, but the "messy stuff" of Caroline would be more useful to their Majesty.
Yes, Your Majesty. Even if his little master had only ascended the throne for three days, He Luobao was occupied, and his little master should still be called "Your Majesty"!
Of course, Caroline's terrible insistence had been awakened by Caroline.
Seeing Ji Jinrong coming in again, the old servant was surprised and happy. He was about to shout "Your Majesty," and Caroline glanced back again, suddenly at a loss, wondering what to say.
Caroline speaks for the old servant: "Hey, now you are fleeing. If anyone knows who you are, we will all die! So you think of a name for yourself, and we call you like that. I am Caroline Robert, but I'm a man now, you just call me Kyle. As for my grandpa, you can call him Robert— "
Ji Jinrong said, "Grandpa Robert."
Old Robert was a little panicked.
But with Ji Jinrong's gentle eyes, the old Robert swallowed the words again. Tears flashed in his eyes-he had been a housekeeper in the young master's house for a lifetime, and the young master was brought up by one hand. Hearing this "Grandpa Robert", he felt no regrets even if he was dead in this life!
Ji Jinrong rolled up his sleeves more than half and stepped forward to take over Caroline.
Old Robert said, "No!"
Ji Jinrong said: "Rong Jin." He looked at the old Robert and Caroline, smiled, and gave them a title, "This is the name I gave myself before, you can call me A Jin. Although this body It's a little weak, but it's getting better now, and I've been in a coma for so long. Let me exercise my muscles. "
Carolyn still looked down on Ji Jinrong: "This is not easy work!"

Ji Jinrong saw that Caroline was still a half-big girl, and her cheeks were swollen, and she looked cute, and said, "That's just right, let's compare it. When I come to grind, you add wheat, Grandpa Robert counts to the side One hundred; after counting, let ’s change it again, you can grind me and add wheat, and then see who has the most flour. If I win, then you call me 'brother'; if you win, later I call you 'Sister', how? "
Caroline was shaken by Ji Jinrong's smile. She said, "Be compared to, who is afraid of who!"
Seeing Ji Jinrong's face full of interest, the old Robert felt that Ji Jinrong was intrigued, and no longer stopped.
Ji Jinrong and Caroline took this "competition" seriously.
Soon, the results came out.
Ji Jinrong wins.
Caroline was not convinced: "It must have been Grandpa's deliberate count when I arrived!"
Ji Jinrong smiled and said, "Call your brother."
Caroline stared at Ji Jinrong.
Ji Jinrong had the slurry on her hands, and raised her hands and pinched Caroline's face. He said, "Well, you are a girl and you have the right to cheat."
Caroline flushed. "I didn't make a fool of it!" She was stronger from an early age, and she couldn't hear others say "how about girls". What's wrong with girls! There are many things girls can do!
Ji Jinrong said, "Oh, it all came out, but you didn't fulfill your gambling agreement, wasn't it a trick?"
Caroline groaned. "Brother!"
Ji Jinrong rubbed Caroline's head: "Good, go and help Aunt Lisa fix the roof. I'm afraid of heights, and I dare not go up."
Caroline laughed at Ji Jinrong's words and said, "You are afraid of heights!"
Ji Jinrong said, "Yeah, I'm afraid of heights. So respectful and heroic Kyle Knight, go and fix the roof. Remember to look into the distance and tell us immediately if anything happens."
Caroline still asked the woman named "Lisa" to come up the ladder and climb the roof to repair the roof. Lisa told Caroline what was leaking below, and Caroline made up for them with ease. When she was done with her work, her palms became red.
Caroline looked up into the distance, and saw a round of sunset slowly sloping west, the whole sky was red. With Ji Jinrong so troubled, her heart suddenly settled down, and she was no longer so disgusted with Ji Jinrong, a "coddled" guy.
That guy is actually a gentleman.
Caroline was thinking, and suddenly saw soldiers in the distance searching for something. She changed her face, thinking of Ji Jinrong's "tell us what's happening immediately", is that what Ji Jinrong said?
Caroline quickly climbed down the long ladder and went to Ji Jinrong.
Old Robert was serving a plate of pasta with a sacred expression, as if holding a plate of delicacy.
It's almost the same for old Robert.
This is the flour that his little master grinds himself! Fried noodles with your own hands! His little master opened his hands and opened his mouth from his coat, and now he can turn wheat into noodles!
Ji Jinrong saw Caroline coming in and said with a smile, "Your nose is really good. You just come down as soon as you cook."
Lisa's three children were still young and didn't know what restraint was. They happily gathered around the table and ate it up. Seeing that Ji Jinrong and Caroline did not sit down, the three children gave them thumbs up and said, "It's delicious! It's delicious! It's great!"
Lisa's face was a little awkward: "They're used to it." She was ashamed again after saying, "I don't cook very well. If I'm really hungry, they can't eat what I make."
Ji Jinrong has never had the role of "mother" in his life, but this does not prevent him from feeling good about "mother". He smiled and said, "Mother's food is always the best."
Caroline waited for Ji Jinrong and Lisa to finish talking, and pulled Ji Jinrong out of the house, telling what she saw on the roof.
Ji Jinrong asked how the soldiers were dressed up and made a judgment: "As Mrs. Lisa expected, the Free Army came to this place."
Caroline's face looked like dirt: "What then?"
Ji Jinrong said, "Just right, the Free Army is here to solve Madam Lisa's problem."
Caroline was anxious: "I'm asking us what to do!"
Ji Jinrong looked at Caroline with a smile.
Caroline realized that she wasn't quite right after she said it.
When did she start thinking of Ji Jinrong as an idea taker? Ji Jinrong is two or three years younger than her. She is still an aristocrat who has been pushed out of nowhere to be a dead ghost.
Caroline was a little depressed.
Ji Jinrong said with a smile: "Don't worry, there are so many aristocrats who flee, no one will recognize us. If this free army is unreasonable, how can it quickly occupy so many places and win such a good reputation."
Caroline said, "How do you know this?"
Ji Jinrong said: "As long as you are willing to communicate with people, you can know everything." Talking about food prices, knowing the economy; talking about depression, knowing the current disadvantages; talking about the expiration of time, knowing the people's hearts-this is what Ji Jinrong is best at.
You know that he was trapped in a sick bed, and he could hear and see very little.
If you can't even do that, how can you survive in that situation!
Seeing that Caroline was confused, Ji Jinrong was not in a hurry to teach her anything. He said, "First, let ’s eat enough. It ’s better that the humble uncle is here to make trouble. In that case, the Free Army will let him see God." Not long after he arrived, Ji Jinrong had fully adapted to everything here, including the language here. .
Although there are less seasonings and less ingredients, he can still use them to make balanced food.
Since the old Robert and Caroline did not give up his burden when they fled, he was not afraid of the plague, and was not afraid of chasing the troops to bring him out of danger, he will definitely treat them as his family in the future.
Well, our Majesty is a little bit short.
Ji Jinrong made a bowl of sweet soup for Caroline.
Although there is no ready-made sugar, it is hard to beat Ji Jinrong, who can turn decay into magic in eating it! Every delicious person can't help himself in the end, so is Ji Jinrong. He and Wei Tingjun stole 20 years of leisure time, and the biggest gain was that even if they were separated, he would never be starved to death!
I don't know where Wei Tingjun is now.
Ji Jinrong flashed such a thought in his heart and couldn't help laughing.
No wonder Wei Tingjun was going mad at first, and it was only a month after he separated that he found that he had missed Wei Tingjun somewhat.
If Wei Tingjun is found, Wei Tingjun can't recognize him, then change him to recognize him this time.
Maybe you can tease that guy.
Ji Jinrong smiled to Caroline with sweet soup.
Caroline paused.
Ji Jinrong said, "Don't climb the roof tomorrow. It's so cold and you will freeze people. You are a girl, so take care of yourself, especially these days."
Caroline's face turned red: "I don't know what you're talking about!"
Ji Jinrong smiled: "Don't be angry, I just have a better nose." He handed sweet soup to Caroline, "It will be more comfortable after drinking, and sleep well after drinking."
Seeing Ji Jinrong's calm attitude, Caroline also felt that she was too shy. She gritted her teeth and took a sip of sweet soup.
The girl's most secret thing was broken, she was not embarrassed to face Ji Jinrong, closed the door and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, Caroline was awakened by the fragrance.
Before she had time to go out and see what was so fragrant, Caroline heard the cry of Mrs. Lisa's ten-year-old son: "Master! Lord! Someone wants to grab our house!"
Caroline ran out.
Ji Jinrong was boiling broth in the yard, and spooned a small bowl to taste there.
Caroline stared out the door warily.
The soldiers outside the house are the Free Army she saw last night!
Ji Jinrong motioned to Caroline to be calm and impatient.
He took Caroline and went out with Mrs. Lisa.
