Since the mutual sanctions between the Central Plains and Miaojiang ended with the Miaojiang victory, Miaojiang has entered a fast lane of development. However, in this process, it has experienced an internal power cleansing activity.

The group of people who wanted to incite class conflicts and achieve their own ulterior motives were quickly caught after Zhao Linger's attention and investigation.

What made Zhao Ling'er sad was that the leader among them was Elder Shi's grandson.

Elder Shi was loyal to the Witch King and Ling'er throughout his life. He died fifteen years ago and was buried by Zhao Ling'er. He was honored for his whole life, but he did not expect that his descendants would do such a thing.

Zhao Ling'er originally wanted to find a reason to relieve Elder Shi's grandson's crimes and save his life, but she was strongly opposed by the loyal ministers who were loyal to her, and of course the reasons were very sufficient.

If the rebellion can still live well, then the ambitious people who will follow suit in the future will rebel every day without any trouble?

In this way, Zhao Ling'er killed Elder Shi's grandson with tears, but she did not search the house and exterminated the clan. This was her reward for Elder Shi's life glory. But all the surviving descendants were dispersed and sent to build bridges and paving roads across the country, making it impossible for their family to unite, and become a group of scattered soldiers and marries the locals, thus allowing the prosperous Shi family to disappear into the long river of history.

Even so, many people still think that Zhao Ling'er is too kind. Such a kind heart is not suitable to be the leader of a country at all. Because she is likely to be unable to kill a snake because of her soft heart.

But this is Zhao Ling'er. If Zhao Ling'er becomes as cruel and ruthless as Wu Zetian, then is it still Zhao Ling'er?

Because of this incident, Zhao Ling'er developed a desire to retreat. She has spent more than 50 years on Miaojiang. She has not relaxed for more than 50 years. She has to deal with a lot of government affairs every day, and she has to work hard to build Miaojiang better every day. Every day, she is afraid that she will not do well and become a sinner in Miaojiang.

More than fifty years...it's really enough.

"Brother Xiaoyou, I want to abdicate." Zhao Linger said weakly that night after being warmed up with Zuo Xiaoyou.

"Then let's go back!" Zuo Xiaoyou stroked her shoulders and whispered: "It's time to take a break."

"But I didn't think about who should succeed to the throne?" Zhao Ling'er was very worried: "What if the person who changed it to cannot do it well?"

"If you can't do it well, you will miss you!"

Zuo Xiaoyou's words made Zhao Ling'er burst into laughter: "Brother Xiaoyou is really, I'm telling you seriously!"

"I also say serious." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "This is how people live well. If they take it for granted, they even have all kinds of dissatisfaction. They will regret it when they lose it and miss the good things they were in the past."

Zhao Ling'er calmed down and listened silently.

"Miaojiang has been developing continuously for fifty years, and life is getting better and better, but the gap between the rich and the poor is gradually exposed. Those who don't get much feel unfair, and they hope to get more, so they start to say that it's not good here and there, and they will stop unless they are allowed to live as good as others."

"But if they start to lose what they have, they will panic and be afraid, and they will understand: 'Oh, it turns out that I have already obtained enough, and should not be too greedy. Even if they are greedy, they cannot use such rough means, which will only harm myself.' Then they will begin to miss what they have before."

Turning his head to look at Zhao Ling'er, "A man is a very cheap creature. The better you treat him, the more dissatisfied he is. On the contrary, if you hit him every day, he will be in pain, but one day he will be a little nicer to him, and he will be flattered and grateful."

“This is human.”

Zhao Ling'er was silent.

The next year, Zhao Ling'er found a suitable successor. After training for him for a year, she announced her abdication to Quan Miao. Her successor was the Minister of War of the current dynasty.

This was an unexpected abdication and gave way to the wise. Zhao Ling'er actually achieved the selection of talents and ability that only ancient sages could have, rather than letting her descendants succeed to the throne.

Such selfless actions touched all the people of Miaojiang, and even many old officials in the officialdom were moved by it. Only then did they fully believe that Zhao Linger was really dedicated to Miaojiang, not out of selfishness.

As for why he chose the Minister of War? Because the people are arrogant and extravagant, the Miao people are looking at money, and all benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness are all left behind. Even local forces are fish and meat in the village, and officials are protecting each other, which is lawless. Therefore, Zhao Ling'er chose the Minister of War, hoping that he can show the courage of a soldier, kill this arrogant, extravagant and lewd style, and reshape the three views of the Miao people.

In this way, Zhao Linger chose a zodiac auspicious day, officially abdicated and gave way to the wise, ending her rule for more than fifty years.

Later generations commented on Zhao Ling'er and said that she was the wisest king in history and the savior who saved the people of Miaojiang from the fire and water. The pioneer of Miaojiang did not have any stains during her reign and left the example of the most perfect king.

After Zhao Ling'er abdicated, she left the palace very simply. When she left, she only brought some of her own clothes and did not take a needle or thread from the palace. After that, she left Miaojiang with Zuo Xiaoyou and traveled around the world.

From leaving Xianling Island at the age of sixteen to now, Zhao Linger, who is already seventy, has never enjoyed life so relaxed. She was accompanied by Zuo Xiaoyou and Su Mei along the way, and later joined Lin Yueru and Annu one after another. There were many small groups traveling around the world, all of them were on the list. Everyone had a feeling of going back time, and before they knew it, more than fifty years had passed.

The good news is that Lin Tiannan is still alive, and the martial arts practitioners are already strong. In addition, Lin Zhennan took pills and returned to the age of eighteen. He is truly a physiological age. Now he is only over seventy years old, so it is normal to live.

Zuo Xiaoyou and Lin Yueru's sons are also alive. They have inherited everything from Linjiabao, and have five sons and more than twenty grandchildren, and of course, daughters and granddaughters, grandchildren and granddaughters.

The current Lin family is completely different from the Lin Family Fort, which was so poor that it was not only prosperous, but also had unique skills. Every Lin family member would go out to travel around the world at the age of 18. During the journey of traveling around the world, every Lin family member made a big name, making Lin Family Fort's reputation in the martial arts world at its peak.

As the old master of Linjiabao, Lin Tiannan is very satisfied with the current Linjiabao. Even if he is dead now, he will have the face to meet his ancestors.

As for Yangzhou, the female thief group had already been destroyed, and the female thief leader Ji Sanniang was also dead. I heard that Ji Sanniang escaped just three days after being imprisoned in prison. After escaping, she just hid her name and the government would not do anything to her. But she was worried about the money confiscated by the government, so she summoned her female thief members to go to the government to steal the treasure that "belongs to them".

As a result, the Yangzhou County Magistrate had been guarding against them for a long time and used a large amount of weapons to lie in ambush in the treasury. When Ji Sanniang and the others arrived, they shot them with military crossbows. A generation of female thieves passed away like this.

Because this incident was so typical, it was widely spread by the county magistrate in Yangzhou. The people of Yangzhou knew about this incident and passed it on to the next generation by telling stories.

After Zuo Xiaoyou and the others heard this story, they couldn't help but sigh: "This Ji Sanniang is really thief, it's a pity."

"What a pity?" Lin Yueru raised her eyebrows: "Can you fall in love with her?"

Zuo Xiaoyou chuckled: "Yes! Her breasts and butts are much plump than you."

"You... are disrespectful to me!" Lin Yueru blushed.

"You are old too!" Zuo Xiaoyou looked at Lin Yueru, who was still eighteen years old, and sighed: "Unclearly, it has been more than fifty years."

"I'm not old, I've always been very young." Although Lin Yueru was a little sad, she would not admit that she was old.

"Hey, Sister Yueru's immortality is all due to Brother Xiaoyou." Zhao Ling'er covered her mouth and chuckled: "If it weren't for Brother Xiaoyou's peaches, we all would have become old ladies."

"I don't." Su Mei shook her head repeatedly: "The lifespan of our demon clan is already long. Even if it takes another thousand years, it will not age ten thousand years."

"Shut up the monster!" Lin Yueru scolded.

Su Mei smiled and said, "Do you still want to bully me? Now is no longer my opponent."

"Do you want to try it?" Lin Yueru pulled out the Wuchen Sword that she had worn for more than fifty years.

"Just try it." Su Mei pulled out the golden snake whip that was tied to her waist.

This golden snake whip is no longer the whip that was originally, but a metal soft whip that Zuo Xiaoyou refined for her. This soft whip is just an acquired spiritual treasure, but has growth attributes and can grow with Su Mei's strength. It is a magic weapon tailor-made for Su Mei. Of course, in addition to the golden snake whip, he also refined a black snake cone for Su Mei, which is used to deal with the opponent's close-up.

In recent years, Su Mei practiced various martial arts under the guidance of Zuo Xiaoyou. With the help of racial advantages, Su Mei's strength has grown extremely fast. Lin Yueru, the teacher of that year, is no longer her opponent.

"Okay." Zuo Xiaoyou stopped them: "I'm still so impulsive when I'm old, I'll take care of all my family rules after I go home."

"Bah!" Lin Yueru's face turned red and she spat lightly: "I'm disrespectful to you."

"Brother Xiaoyou is really." Zhao Ling'er covered her mouth and smiled embarrassedly.

"Okay." Su Mei licked her lips and threw a charming look: "I will let my good brother deal with it tonight."

"Hehe, chances are rare, it's better to sleep with the big quilt." Anu was still weird, and she was coquettish and smirked for a moment, as if she had returned to the passionate years of youth more than fifty years ago.

Finally, everyone came to Yuhang County, Shengyu Village, a small inn with a very historical sense.

It was noon and there were no guests in the inn, only an old man and two old ladies basking in front of the door.

Seeing a group of five people, the old man opened his eyes wide and stared at Zhao Ling'er intently

With two bangs, the old man was slapped on each side of the face, and the two old ladies scolded at the same time: "Li Xiaoyao, you are looking for death!"

Seeing this scene, Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly.

Time is like water, always fleeting.
