Jiang Tao didn't come back until the evening. The four of them sat at the dinner table and waited, feeling that this scene seemed a bit familiar.

We are leaving tomorrow, so the four people who stayed at home today tidied up the yard together.

Since tomorrow's retreat plan is to fake an interception scene, you can take some of your belongings with you, but you can't take them all, otherwise it will look like a premeditated escape.

"Let's eat first, we don't have to wait for him." Li Qian scolded Jiang Tao in her heart and said with a forced smile on her face.

Lu Chuan and Huo Changge looked at each other, and they both thought that Lao Jiang was probably going to show love again, and wanted to help him one last time before leaving.

I hope he can be more careful today and don't get into trouble while showing love. There will be many places where money will be needed after going to Utopia.

Lu Chuan suddenly remembered that he still had a Yuan Stone that he had not returned to Jiang Tao, but thinking about it, it was okay. He had given the Yuan Stone to him and he wanted to use it to express his love. It would be better to wait until he got to Utopia before giving it to him, so that he could still keep it.

For household use.

...

Jiang Tao didn't come back for dinner not because of any love. After he came out of the military compound, he kept a low profile and concealed his figure, and then swerved into a small courtyard.

There was a large iron pot in the yard, with unknown meat stewed in it. There was a man sitting in front of the iron pot, holding a wine jar in his hand and drinking. When he saw Jiang Tao enter the yard, he laughed and asked

:

"Jiang Tao, should I be happy that you trust me, or should I call you a fool? Do you really dare to come here?"

"You invited me, why didn't I dare to come?" Jiang Tao walked to the opposite side of the iron pot and sat down, picking up another jar of wine on the ground. "Would you be in trouble if I leave?"

The man's face was reflected clearly in the firelight. He was actually the lord of Beining City, the newly appointed Longchuan County Governor, Prince Wu Qing.

It was difficult for what happened in the city to escape his eyes and ears. Yesterday, Huo Changge left the city early in the morning for Zhenbeiguan, and Jiang Tao followed him back that day. The reason was that there was something going on at home, and yesterday Lu Chuan and Jiang Mo were both doing well in the academy.

, he guessed something.

Thinking back to the fact that Emperor Wu deposed the former empress and the former prince five years ago, and that he knew the true identity of Jiang Tao's time traveler, and that Jiang Mo was about to turn sixteen, the answer was readily apparent.

So he sent a message to Jiang Tao and asked him to meet again before leaving.

"It seems like I should call you a fool. You have to leave. Why are you worrying about me? Is there any difference between bullying the emperor once and many times?"

Jiang Tao fell into silence, picked up the wine jar, touched it with Wu Qing, put it to his mouth and took a sip.

"I always feel sorry for you..." Before Jiang Tao could finish his words, Wu Qing had already punched him from the air, and the fire under the iron pot shook violently.

"Your indecisive temperament should have changed long ago. I already thought it through when I helped you hide it for the first time. You need to grind it now. The meat is ready, eat it."

What was in the pot was just mediocre stewed meat, sprinkled with a little salt, and not only did it not taste good, but it also tasted a little weird and sour.

The two of them sat in front of the pot, put the meat into bowls and ate in silence. After eating until their mouths were salty, they drank a few sips of wine.

"You don't have to worry about the families and orphans of your student subordinates. I will take care of them for you."

"Um."

"You don't have to worry about things in the academy. Lin Yuan is not good. I won't leave it to him, the dean."

"Um."

"Damn, I originally planned to come to your house next year to get married. Your Momo and my Bing'er..."

"Hmm...huh? Do you want to die?" Jiang Tao's eyes widened angrily, and the round figure of Wu Bing appeared in his mind.

Wu Qing is extraordinary now, so naturally he is not disrespectful to him. He holds his neck and shouts, "Why, is my nephew, the prince, still not worthy of your daughter?"

"I think your majestic prince wants to be beaten by me today." Lao Jiang didn't tolerate him, so he put down the bowl and started to roll up his sleeves.

The two glared at each other for a while, but in the end they did not fight. Jiang Tao knew that Wu Qing was joking, and there was no way he would let Wu Bing marry Jiang Mo.

"Leaving tomorrow?" Wu Qing swallowed a mouthful of bacon and looked at the bowl of noodles and asked.

"Leave tomorrow."

"...Can't we leave?" His voice was a little soft.

"Have no choice but to leave."

"Is there any solution over at Utopia?" Wu Qing took another bite of meat into his mouth. This piece of meat may have been stained with too much salt, making it a bit bitter.

"It's hard to say now, but I should be somewhat sure." Jiang Tao said in a muffled voice.

"Then I should congratulate you." Wu Qing picked up the wine jar and waved it from a distance.

"Hope it goes well."

"After you go there, stop being a good person and save some money to give to your wife and children. They really haven't enjoyed much happiness by following you."

"Um."

"If you have time... forget it, you'd better not come back. When we meet again, we might be on the battlefield."

"You're so afraid of me that you let me go?" Jiang Tao laughed.

"Are I afraid of you? I think you are so stupid that you won't be able to get along well in Utopia. You are born to be a thug." Wu Qing pretended to be disdainful.

Jiang Tao didn't say anything, but he also raised his wine jar and took a big sip.

"I never asked you why you saved me in the first place. If you didn't save me, your secret wouldn't be exposed." Wu Qing asked coldly.

"What's the point? If I save you, the worst I can do is be betrayed by you and run away. If I don't save you, my brother will be gone."

"I am a member of the royal family!"

"You damn royal family. You have one head between your shoulders. You were so scared that you wet your pants for the first time on the battlefield..."

"Jiang Tao, what the hell! Die for me!" Wu Qing was furious, he pulled out his Beining gun and shot him.

"Fuck! Is this the virtue of the royal family? How dare you urinate without being told?!" Jiang Tao smiled and dodged, "You are a royal family, why didn't you betray me?"

"You are my brother, the emperor is nothing." Wu Qing didn't care if he couldn't stab him, stuck the gun on the ground, and continued drinking.

Lao Jiang laughed. There was no need to ask the answers to these questions. The two had known each other for more than twenty years and had a tacit understanding between them.

"I don't believe in the Utopia thing at all. That bullshit equality, that bullshit justice, it's all bullshit. It's okay to deceive those ignorant people." Wu Qing looked at Jiang Tao through the firelight.

"Later, I was a little confused by you, a wicked person. You took care of the ordinary soldiers and their families, found the talented children among the civilians, taught them spiritual practice, and funded their schooling. You also did not allow practitioners to bully ordinary people.

people.

You are a great dean and a man with strong supernatural powers, but you can still listen patiently to a steamed bun vendor nagging you for half an hour. You are going to Utopia, and you are giving all the money to the families of your soldiers who died in the war. Do you want to be a saint?

?

Do you really believe that there is any justice or equality in this world?"

Jiang Tao finished the meat in the bowl and stood up. He had to go home early, there were still people waiting for him at home.

"There is a great man in our country who said something like, come from the masses, go to the masses. Strong practitioners do not need justice and equality, only ordinary people do.
