After entering the camp, Leng Yi discovered that only a small part of the camps here were the military camps of the border troops, and most of them were the tents of merchants from both places; they were large or small, but well organized, with various vendors and people coming and going on the streets between the tents.
The crowds were very lively; and there was a small river not far from the camp, which was simply unimaginable in the Western Wilderness;
Everyone walked through the camp area and came to a tent inn, asked for a tent, and then followed the waiter to an extra-large tent that could accommodate thirty or forty people;
"Brother Shi, you go in first, I'll go take a bath in the river." In front of the tent, Leng Yi stopped outside the door and said to Shi Cheng;
"It's so cold..." Shi Cheng glanced at the cold river in the distance and shivered slightly, then looked at Leng Yi with envy, smiled and said, "Go, I'll order wine and meat, and I'll call you later!"
After saying goodbye to Shi Cheng, Leng Yi came to a bush by the river. After checking that there was no one around, he quickly took off his clothes and plunged into the cold river. He swam around happily and then
I returned to the shore and started taking a bath, but my ears were always alert to the direction of the camp;
"Oh, everything is different..." Leng Yi looked at the hazy sky and sighed softly;
As soon as he entered here, Shi Cheng put on the mask again and returned to the mature and capable young man. This made Leng Yi feel more and more alienated, but fortunately, Shi Xuan was still the one who loved to pull people's sleeves.
So cute...
"Shi Xuan..." Thinking of that cute girl, Leng Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly;
Along the way, Duan Zheng matched up with Leng Yi and two young female guards more than once. He seemed to be afraid that Leng Yi had some inappropriate thoughts, but Leng Yi had no idea about Shi Xuan at all. At most, it was because of her.
remembered something;
Leng Yi couldn't help but look at the jade pendant hanging around his neck, which was his only accessory now;
The land of the far south...
"Brother Yi! Have you finished washing?"
However, at this moment, Shi Cheng's quiet voice came from behind, but it was like thunder in Leng Yi's ears;
Oops!
Why do you get distracted when you look at a jade pendant?
"It's done! I'll go up right now..." Leng Yi turned around and smiled, putting a towel on his shoulders naturally. His expression remained unchanged, but his nerves tightened in his heart, and he stared nervously out of the corner of his eye.
Zhu Shi Cheng;
That is……
The moment Leng Yi turned around, Shi Cheng's heart suddenly froze, and an imperceptible light flashed quickly in his eyes;
"Oh, hurry up then; the wine and meat have been laid out, I'll go back and wait for you first." Shi Cheng smiled naturally, and gave an instruction as if he hadn't seen anything, and then turned around, just like when he came.
Leave as quietly as ever;
Still saw it...
That glimmer of light was finally captured keenly by Leng Yi. Looking at Shi Cheng's retreating back, Leng Yi's eyes suddenly closed and he slowly took off the towel on his shoulder; as the towel was removed, a gloomy figure appeared.
A ferocious, yet symbolizing mark of endless shame appeared on the slightly thin shoulders——
Slave mark!
Cheng Guiyun gave Leng Yi a humiliating identity!
Leng Yi took a deep breath, then jumped onto the river bank, put on his clothes at lightning speed, picked up the hammer, then jumped around like a civet cat, and hid quietly in a bush.
Then, he immediately pricked up his keen ears like a lone wolf and listened to the camp;
"Brother! Where's Brother Yi! Why aren't you here? Isn't he hungry?" Seeing Shi Cheng walking in, Shi Xuan hurriedly looked behind him, then asked with some disappointment, but suddenly closed her mouth.
The guard immediately stopped chatting;
Everyone clearly felt that a strong murderous intention permeated the tent...
"Master, what's wrong?" Duan Zheng immediately became alert, holding the waist knife tightly in his right hand and asked in a deep voice;
"He...he actually..."
Shi Cheng clenched his fists tightly and said with a livid expression. As the squirming veins slowly crawled across his forehead, Shi Cheng gritted his teeth and let out a beast-like roar:
"He turned out to be a vile—"
"slave!"
Despicable...slave...
Listening to the roar full of anger but with mixed flavors, Leng Yi bit his lips and slowly closed his eyes, feeling a mixed bitterness in his heart;
However, he understood Shi Cheng's anger very well;
In the Daqi Dynasty, people were divided into three, six, and nine grades. The ninth grade was a white commoner. Although life was difficult, they had personal freedom and certain personal protection. However, slaves were not even ranked in the ninth grade.
In other words, not even a human being...
No matter how big-hearted Shi Cheng is, he grew up in that kind of environment after all...
Forget it, it’s time to leave;
Leng Yi forcibly suppressed the mixed feelings in his heart, opened his eyes suddenly, and then quietly exited the bushes, but at this moment, his ears suddenly vibrated and his pupils suddenly contracted!
"really……"
Under everyone's disbelieving gazes, Duan Zheng sighed slightly and whispered, "We should have thought of it a long time ago..."
"Third brother is right..." All the guards also lowered their heads, and a suffocating depression instantly filled the tent;
With the third level of body tempering, you dare to wander alone in the middle of the Western Wilderness; if you were not forced to have no choice, who would have lived such a fearful and precarious inhuman life?
His conversation was extraordinary, he had obviously read a lot of books, but he also retained a lot of knowledge in books, which was seriously inconsistent with his behavior of wandering alone in the Western Wilderness. He was clearly a person who had a certain status in the family before, but had little freedom;
It's only the third level of body tempering, but it can scare black-scaled horses and armored rhinoceros. This clearly means that there is a strange medicine or something special in it; no one has ever heard of anything like this, which means that this kind of thing is absolutely impossible.
Extraordinary things;
"And his hammer!"
Duan Zheng continued his analysis: "It can kill an intermediate ferocious beast with one hammer and create a large crater of more than ten feet on the ground. Its weight must be more than a thousand kilograms, but it is so small. This is obviously not an ordinary material. The hammer is very powerful."
Maybe it's at the level of a military soldier; a hammer is actually a military soldier, even Cheng Guiyun can't bear such luxury?"
"That's right, the martial arts he performed that night was very similar to the high-level fire-type yellow-level martial arts "Fire Sickle Palm". The market price of this martial arts is about ten thousand taels, so he couldn't afford it; it should have been stolen.
;" Duan Zheng said slowly, then looked at Shi Cheng:
"Master, in my judgment, he should be a slave with the given name who escaped from a large family in Xichuan, or a descendant of a slave with the given name;"
"How is this possible... Brother Yi may have been framed..." After listening to Duan Zheng's words, Shi Xuan suddenly covered her mouth and retorted in a low voice with horrified eyes;
"None of this matters! Even if it has nothing to do with me!"
Shi Cheng gritted his teeth and whispered in a solemn tone: "What I care about is-"
"Once he is caught, Cheng Rui will definitely know! At that time, the entire circle, the entire class, and even the entire Xichuan! Everyone will know that I, the second young master of the Shi family, actually called him brother-in-law with a slave! Not only will I be embarrassed from now on,
It’s hard to hold your head up, even the whole Shi family will be ashamed because of me!”
"I really didn't expect..." Shi Cheng slowly closed his eyes and let out a low growl of extreme disappointment:
"A slave! He is so unconscious! He dares to call me a brother! Where did he get such courage..."
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound, and the fists with bulging veins slammed hard on the simple table. Shi Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold murderous intent slowly flowed through, and then he gritted his teeth and roared:
"Third brother! Fifth brother! You go -"
"Let him disappear from sight! Don't smear the face of my Shi family!"
"Brother! How could you do this...Brother Yi, he must be..."
Snapped!
A crisp slap sounded like thunder in Leng Yi's ears. Leng Yi suddenly trembled, then took a deep breath, rushed out of the bushes at extremely fast speed, and rushed towards the desolate Gobi Desert, and his
Behind him, Shi Xuan's cry could be heard in the distance...
"Running pretty fast," Lao Wu said by the silent river, looking at the water stains on the ground and the empty river;
"If he hadn't run fast, he wouldn't have survived today;" Duan Zheng narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, then pointed in a certain direction and ran quickly with his body shaking, and Lao Wu followed closely;
The harsh north wind blew the young man's wet long hair. Leng Yi stood on a desolate Gobi mountain ridge with a hammer on his shoulder, expressionlessly watching the two figures getting closer and closer in the distance, like a tree in the cold wind.
The bleak dead trees in the middle;
"Bitch slave! You still dare to wait for us, how brave you are!" At this moment, Duan Zheng's disdainful cold shout came from the bottom of the mountain ridge;
Listening to Duan Zheng's shout, Leng Yi slowly lowered his eyes, looked at the two extremely familiar figures, and then said numbly: "Third brother, fifth brother; every monk has his own secret, out of respect,
It is not allowed to inquire; however, these secrets are not the source of unfounded suspicion; I just want to ask the two brothers - "
"Do you think your suspicions are facts, or do you want to incriminate them?"
"Yo? Did you hear everything?"
Hearing Leng Yi's words, Duan Zheng raised his eyebrows in surprise, then spat on the ground, suddenly raised his head, squinted at Leng Yi and said sarcastically:
"What a cheap slave! How dare you eavesdrop on our conversation? Where did you get such courage?"
"Also! Third brother and fifth brother are not titles that a lowly slave like you is qualified to call!"
"That's right! Who do you think you are!" Lao Wu slowly pulled out his sword and laughed ferociously: "You don't even know what your identity is? As a lowly slave, you are so unaware!"
"very good;"
Leng Yi nodded lightly, and then, under the disdainful gazes of the two men, he slowly lifted the hammer and placed the pitch-black hammer head against the ground;
Cha la la...
As the hammer head moved slowly but firmly, a not deep but clear scratch slowly appeared on the cold gravel ground...
"Please, two brothers, go back and tell Brother Shi;"
Leng Yi slowly raised the hammer and put it on his shoulder again, then looked up at the two people and said in a deep voice:
