Chapter 486 Cause and Effect Reincarnation 6
A strikingly handsome young man, dressed in white, walked along the muddy street, untouched by any dust.
Holding the red fox in her arms, her beautiful hand gently stroked the fox's fur on its back.
When Shen Juan appeared before him unharmed, he realized that this world was not the same as the one he knew.
It's not time reversal.
what is that?
Gu Yao's thoughts wandered, his eyes somewhat vacant, pondering what this world was meant to do, as he absentmindedly stroked the red fox's fur.
Chen Juan nestled quietly in Gu Yao's arms.
In this small southern town ravaged by floods, Gu Yao felt like an outsider.
The officials of Fusang City had already abandoned the entire city's inhabitants and fled for their lives when the flood occurred.
Gu Yao pondered for a moment and vaguely remembered that it seemed to be the end of a dynasty.
When a building is about to collapse, it's too late for regrets.
A once prosperous nation was gradually ruined by internal parasites and incompetent rulers.
Even if the last emperor had the will to save the country from peril, the wheels of history kept turning.
How could he possibly save the collapsing edifice by his own efforts?
Gu Yao frowned.
This city is a place where order has collapsed; without the restraint of the law, it only breeds evil.
Those wicked people who couldn't stand the light of day became the ones with a voice.
Everyone stared at the alley, waiting for the four thugs to finish robbing so they could see if they could get a piece of the pie.
They dared not act, but they were always greedy.
But when the young man emerged from the dimly lit alley, spotless, everyone was shocked.
After the young man left, someone went into the alley and came running out, tumbling and crawling, his face ashen. "Dead, dead, someone's dead!"
Gu Yao ignored the gazes that were filled with fear, apprehension, or resentment.
He stood at the city gate, his eyes fixed on the three large characters "Fusang City" above his head.
The city gate was surrounded by people.
The officers and soldiers have taken control of Wei's only exit from the city.
Gu Yao's face darkened.
He heard about the lockdown.
Even without any interference in this lifetime, Fusang City was still placed under lockdown.
It turned out that the head constable of the Fusang City government was driving away the people who were resting against the city wall with knives. Those who disobeyed were cut off with their hands or feet.
Simply because a very important person is coming.
They disregarded the lives of ordinary people.
It was as if these people's lives didn't matter to them.
Gu Yao did not act immediately. In Fusang City, a place with which he had a deep karmic connection, he could not use magic.
He has to get out!
He was fine with his own injury, but he was worried about Shen Juan.
Shen Juan's current condition is probably not very good.
Reaching the city gate, he hugged the fox tighter, revealing a docile and ingratiating smile. "Big brother, could you please make an exception and let me out?"
The constable, who was still directing people to drive away the poor people, paused when he saw a noble young master.
Gu Yao then slipped the jade pendant from his waist into his hand. "Brother, please, I've gotten separated from my family and I want to go find them."
The constable stroked the mutton-fat white jade in his hand; it was warm and smooth to the touch, clearly carved from the finest jade.
He chuckled, quickly tucked the jade pendant into his robes, then straightened up and coughed lightly. "Alright, you don't seem like a troublemaker. I'm in a good mood today, so..."
"The Emperor's brother-in-law has arrived!"
A magnificent carriage slowly drove into the city gate.
The constable's expression changed, and he pulled Gu Yao aside, leading his men to kneel down.
"Greetings, Imperial Brother-in-Law!"
People on both sides shouted in unison.
The officials and soldiers who had just been oppressing the people were now kneeling down, fawning over a commoner who held no official position and had no meritorious achievements.
Gu Yao sensed something was wrong and stepped back into the crowd. The red fox also shrank closer to him.
Gu Yao covered him with her sleeve.
With his excellent hearing, he also heard the reason for the city's lockdown.
A nine-tailed fox has appeared in Fusang City.
The Imperial Advisor said: This is an auspicious omen from heaven. If we can capture it, it may bring prosperity to the nation.
Then, the imperial concubine recommended her good-for-nothing younger brother.
If this matter is successfully handled, obtaining an official position will not be a problem.
Because of this unfounded rumor, Fusang City was sealed off.
Disregarding the lives of the entire city's inhabitants, they sealed off Fusang City, which had just suffered from a flood.
Gu Yao, his face tense, huddled in a corner of Fusang City, gently stroking the uneasy fox in his arms.
His eyes were fixed straight ahead, observing the soldiers patrolling the city.
He came to Fusang City last time because he had foreseen that the last remaining bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was scattered abroad, and that the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Chief had a past relationship with him.
Yet he also foresaw that a great calamity might befall the world.
It originated in Fusang City.
In the aftermath of the flood, Fusang City was littered with starving corpses and lay strewn across the land.
A great flood is always followed by a great epidemic.
This epidemic has swept across the entire country.
This accelerated the already declining dynasty's demise.
Gu Yao faces the trolley problem.
Are they the ones who choose one city?
Or are there more people in the world?
This choice wasn't difficult for Gu Yao.
Weighing the pros and cons, it was easy to choose the one with more people.
He sealed off Fusang City, leaving them to fend for themselves.
The entire city was reduced to a ghost town in just half a month.
Gu Yao was one of the driving forces behind this.
