My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!
Chapter 530 - 348: My Father Li Xuanjing

Daxia.

Lan State.

Lan State is more than two thousand miles away from Chang'an. Although it is far from the political center, the bloody winds of Chang'an rarely reach here.

In the previous years, local officials in Lan State tried their best to move activities to Chang'an.

But in recent years, the situation has gradually reversed. Even when receiving transfer orders from Chang'an, they made every excuse to decline. They even bribed the assessing officers, actively requesting lower assessment results, just to stay local.

Over the past six months, some nobles from Chang'an have gradually moved to Lan State.

For Daxia officials and nobles, the capital city of Chang'an has virtually become a dragon's lair and tiger's den.

As the sky darkened, a young couple walked hand in hand into Lan State City.

Both carried bundles on their backs, looking like a passing husband and wife.

The man was handsome, the woman beautiful, even the guards at the city gate couldn't help but take a few more glances at them.

After Li Nuo and Yiren parted ways with the Empress, they hurried along the road and finally reached Lan State City before dark.

They planned to rest in the city for one night and continue their journey early the next morning.

As soon as they entered the city gate, a group of beggars approached, holding out dirty, broken bowls.

"Show some mercy, give us something to eat!"

"Haven't eaten for three days, could any kind-hearted person take pity..."

"Leftover food, any scraps, please spare some..."

...

As a Daxia official, seeing this scene, Li Nuo couldn't help but feel touched.

Although Chang'an was prosperous, wasn't everywhere else also part of Daxia?

The courtiers in the high halls, how many truly understand the sufferings of the people.

He bought all the leftover buns from a roadside bun shop and distributed them to these beggars. Then he and Yiren found an inn to stay.

Sitting in the inn room, Li Nuo's mood was a bit complex.

Influenced by the Vast Righteous Qi within him, seeing these Daxia civilians reduced to beggars, a sense of compassion arose in him, along with a urgent desire to change all this.

Self-cultivation, Take good care of Family, govern the country, pacify the land—sure enough, what the books said was right. After entering Confucian realms, even if not one's subjective intent, a mysterious force would push them to do these things.

Because of this, Confucian scholars are the most respected regardless of the country.

Since they had to travel the next day, they went to bed early.

He slept very soundly, without dreaming the entire night.

After getting up and freshening up, the two continued their journey.

At their speed, including night rest, it would take at most three days from Lan State to Chang'an.

Li Nuo checked out of the room downstairs, then walked out of the inn.

As they walked towards the city gate, both paused simultaneously, their peripheral vision catching something behind them.

Someone was watching from the shadows.

However, Li Nuo didn't sense any threatening aura from the observer.

He temporarily ignored it, and they walked forward a bit more, suddenly blocked by people ahead.

Several strong figures stood in their way.

The leading burly man whispered: "Go into that alley, or else we'll kill you!"

Beside them was a small alley.

Seeing this, the passing civilians detoured to avoid the scene.

Not far away, two patrolling constables saw them but pretended not to, turning in another direction to continue their patrol.

Song Yiren wanted to draw her sword but was held back by Li Nuo.

Li Nuo, as told by the burly man, walked into the alley, followed by the group, who then pointed to the bundles on Li Nuo's back, saying: "Hand over your valuables yourselves, don't make us take action..."

Li Nuo knew Outer States surely would be more chaotic than Chang'an, but he didn't expect it to be this chaotic.

Broad daylight, street robbery, openly, even the constables maintaining order saw it but ignored, showing just how chaotic Lan State had become.

"Big shot? Big your mother's head!"

Early in her days descending the mountain, Song Yiren, traveling alone through Jianghu, had encountered many similar situations.

Seeing the arrogance of these people, she finally couldn't resist taking action.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A few muffled sounds, and several figures flew out of the alley.

The two constables leaned against the street corner wall to watch the fun, thinking they could loot a lot from these out-of-towners, and naturally, they would get their share.

Quickly, they realized something was wrong.

Lying on the ground, groaning and unable to get up, were those men.

They exchanged glances, one hurried forward, asking: "What happened here?"

The burly men never expected the young woman's skills to be so formidable, probably already in the True Qi Realm. The leading man clutching his chest painfully said: "They, they tried to rob our silver, we resisted, she actually took action!"

The constable looked towards Li Nuo and Yiren, sternly saying: "How outrageous, broad daylight, you dare rob on the street, do you have any respect for the law!"

While speaking, the other constable had already brought a group of guards.

Before the leading guard officer could question, the first constable started: "Broad daylight, these two openly robbed, Commander Chen, quickly arrest them!"

At this moment, the street was empty of civilians.

Even nearby stores had closed their doors. Some people dared only to press their ears against the door to eavesdrop.

Hearing the official's words, they couldn't help but silently mourn for the couple.
