Chapter 1764
Chu Qing returned to Ye's house and conveyed the emperor's intentions to Ye Chenxi. Unsurprisingly, Ye Chenxi agreed.

On the second day, Chu Qing and Ye Chenxi entered the palace and agreed to the matter. The emperor was very happy about this and thanked them.

The next step is to prepare for the opportunity, plan the route, the number of people, and take precautions against unexpected accidents.

Two days later, when the team was ready to go, Chu Qing and Ye Chenxi bid farewell to the emperor and escorted gifts to neighboring countries.

Along the way, Chu Qing and Ye Chenxi were very relaxed, they chatted, but fortunately Ye Chenxi is not the kind of person who loves to fantasize, so the content of the chat is also of interest to Chu Qing.

Because the escorted gifts were not very heavy, more than half of the journey was quickly covered. Along the way, Chu Qing would stop to take a rest when seeing that the escorts were tired.

However, the members of the escort team were carefully selected by Chu Qing and Ye Chenxi. They were better than ordinary soldiers in terms of physical strength and endurance, and they only rested two or three times a day.

But just when Chu Qing and Ye Chenxi's escort team was hurrying on their way, the weather suddenly changed.The originally clear sky suddenly turned gloomy. Chu Qing was afraid that there would be accidents with the gifts she was escorting, so she proposed to find a place to avoid the coming storm.

Ye Chenxi naturally agreed with Chu Qing's proposal, the two of them and the escort team moved forward quickly and finally found a place to stay.

The place where we settled was a small village. There were not many villagers in it, but the people were very kind.When the villagers heard that Chu Qing and the others were doing business and came to take refuge from the storm, they were very happy to accept them.

"Come on, young man, drink a bowl of ginger soup to get rid of the cold." An old woman who looked very kind smiled and took the hands of the two of them, and brought them directly into the house, and then served the cold-dispelling soup prepared in advance. Came over and handed it to the two of them.

Chu Qing took the soup bowl handed by the old man with a smile, lowered her head and smelled it, it was a strong smell of ginger.

"Little girl, is it cold?" The good-natured old woman asked distressedly, then sighed, and said, "I don't have any extra clothes for you here, I'm really sorry."

Ye Chenxi waved her hands again and again, and said, "No need, I'm young, I'm in good shape, I don't feel cold."

Chu Qing looked around and found that there were not many decent things in the house, and even the roof was leaking from several places.

"Uncle, I can't hide things. I want to ask you, is there something wrong with you here?" Chu Qing thought for a while and asked again.

Ye Chenxi also nodded, she also noticed something was wrong just now, logically speaking, this village shouldn't be so poor.

When the old man heard Chu Qing's words, he suddenly felt sad, sighed helplessly, and said, "It's all fate."

Chu Qing and Ye Chenxi looked at each other, and Ye Chenxi went to sit beside the old woman and said, "Grandma, tell us, is there any difficulty? Tell us, maybe we can help you."

The old woman glanced at the old man, who nodded and said angrily: "To be honest, we have the right time and place here, but this official is really not human."

"An official?" Chu Qing frowned.

"Yeah, you don't know, those officials are amazing." The old lady said with a look of resentment, wiped away her tears, and told Chu Qing and Ye Chenxi all the grievances in her heart.

It turned out that the government office in their town had been collecting grain all the time, not only the grain was collected, but even the things used in daily life would be taken away.

Over time, all the officials became rich, but these ordinary people all became impoverished, and those who left even starved to death.

After listening to the old man's narration, Chu Qing and Ye Chenxi were very angry. They always thought that the people in the world were safe and sound. Even though some places were not doing well, they never thought that such a thing would happen.
