Mengshan looked at the lively scenes around him, his face full of excitement.
"Brother, is this Xianyang, the capital of Qin State?"
Lin Junwu also looked around and said, "Well, this is Xianyang."
The people around looked at Lin Junwu and Meng Shan and subconsciously avoided them, with a hint of laughter in their eyes. From time to time, they lowered their heads and talked to their companions.
After these days of training, Lin Junwu's physical cultivation has reached the acquired third level. With the surge of ear power, he can clearly hear their conversation.
"Another country bumpkin comes to town, and I feel bored just looking at him."
"That's right, looking at their poor faces, I guess they have never seen such a prosperous Xianyang, right?"
…………
After Lin Junwu listened for a while, he stopped listening. It was just some sarcastic remarks about him and Meng Shan being country bumpkins.
There was no need for him to get angry with them. After all, if the dog was barking, could it also bark back?
Lin Junwu reached out and patted Mengshan on the shoulder and said, "Let's go and report to the Xianyang military camp."
Mengshan nodded, turned his gaze and followed Lin Junwu.
At this time, it has been more than a month since we were in the city lord's mansion, and there is still half a month left before the recruit competition.
After Lin Junwu and Meng Shan arrived at the city lord's mansion, they discussed with Zhou Liang and decided that they would go to Xianyang alone, while the shield team would follow the team from Tianji City to Xianyang.
Zhou Liang refused at first. After all, Lin Junwu and Meng Shan were the key to Tianji City's victory. If something happened on the way alone, Tianji City would be in trouble this time.
In the end, it was Lin Junwu who gave up Zhou Liang's idea of rejecting because Tianji City was not far from Xianyang, and there were not many dangers on the way. Instead, he could hone his strength.
In the past month or so, Lin Junwu and Meng Shan did not encounter any danger, but their strength increased by one level.
Walking through the crowds, Lin Junwu felt more and more the happiness and luxury of people born in the capital.
In Tianji City, not far from Xianyang, soldiers have to go into the Dead Soul Mountain Range every day to hunt spiritual beasts and bring food to the people of Tianji City on the verge of death. And even so, the people of Tianji City can only have enough food and clothing.
However, in Xianyang, he often saw some people who were clearly not hungry but ordered a lot of food and left it there if they couldn't finish it.
This kind of situation is not uncommon in Xianyang. Everyone seems to be used to seeing it and no longer feel it, or they may say that they are one of them.
In Xianyang, it is impossible to see that it is the same Qin State. It is so prosperous that people can waste it, but in some places they have to exchange their children for food.
"This is the Zhumen's smell of wine and meat, and the roads are frozen to death? This is what happened before the country was at peace. Can the Great Qin Empire really emerge here?" Lin Junwu couldn't help but think in his heart,
Meng Shan looked a little unhappy on the side, but he also knew that this was not something he could change. This phenomenon had become the norm, and only the aloof King Qin could change it.
But is the same thing true for King Qin?
Lin Junwu reached out and patted Mengshan on the shoulder and said: "Let's go, there are many such things, and the only one who can change them is the so-called King of Qin."
Mengshan nodded and continued to follow Lin Junwu to the Xianyang military camp.
Soon, Lin Junwu and Meng Shan arrived at the Xianyang military camp.
I saw that the Xianyang military camp was three times larger than the one in Tianji City. Judging from its appearance, it was no different from the Tianji City military camp. After standing for a while, I saw that many of their faces still had childish looks.
Soldiers in military uniforms walked inside.
A closer look reveals that these soldiers are recruits from other cities who have come to participate in the recruit competition.
They appear to be soldiers from three cities, but it's hard to tell which three cities they are from.
There is an innate strong man in front of these three groups of soldiers, who is probably the city lord of these cities.
Seeing this, Lin Junwu couldn't help but wonder whether the Shield Team and Zhou Liang had arrived in Xianyang, but then he thought about it, Tianji City and Xianyang were not too far apart, it had been more than a month, and they had probably arrived long ago.
Lin Junwu and Meng Shan waited until all three groups of soldiers entered the military camp before they stepped forward.
There are soldiers guarding both sides of the military camp. These soldiers are different from the new recruits. They wear the armor of the regular army, and the spears they hold in their hands are brighter than the spears of the Tianji Army.
When these soldiers saw Lin Junwu and Meng Shan walking over, a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes. One of the leaders stepped forward and shouted: "This is the Xianyang military camp, and everyone else should stay out of the way!"
Lin Junwu and Meng Shan stopped, and Lin Junwu took a step forward and raised his hands and said: "Sir, our two brothers are soldiers of Tianji City. We are late because of some things. Please inform us."
The leader looked at Lin Junwu and Meng Shan with suspicion, and then said: "The soldiers from Tianji City have been here for more than half a month. How come you two are so late?"
Lin Junwu's face was calm and he took out the words he had prepared long ago: "My lord, please forgive me. Due to injuries, our two brothers recuperated in Tianji City for half a month before setting off, so we only reported to Xianyang now. At this time, the city lord of Tianji City also knew
, please inform me."
After saying that, Lin Junwu took another step forward, pretended to extend a hand casually, and then stuffed something into the leader's hand.
The leader was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the things in his hands, and saw that they were some broken silver. After scanning, there was quite a lot.
Seeing this, the leader's face softened a little, and then he cleared his throat and said: "It turns out that the two brothers were late because they were injured and recuperating for half a month on duty. In this case, I will inform you.
How can a loyal man wait outside for so long?"
Lin Junwu cupped his hands again and said, "Then I'll be in trouble, sir."
"Okay, you guys just wait here." The leader said, turned around and spoke to the guarding soldiers a few times, and then entered the military camp.
Seeing the leader entering, Meng Shan whispered: "Bah! What nonsense, it's just for the sake of money. I really don't understand that it's obviously his responsibility, but we have to stuff money into it."
Lin Junwu patted Mengshan on the shoulder and said: "No matter when it is, no matter where it is, there is no shortage of such phenomena. It can also be said to be an unspoken rule. Even if he is unwilling, he has to follow it."
"Brother, I don't care about this bullshit hidden rule, it really disgusts me." Mengshan looked at the entrance of the military camp with contempt, as if he could see the leader who had disappeared in his eyes.
Lin Junwu said with a smile: "To put it bluntly, all the rules in this world are just the law of the jungle. Only the strong are qualified to make rules and break them. If you hate it, then become a strong person and use your fists to smash them all!"
"
When Mengshan heard this, he lowered his head thoughtfully and muttered from time to time: "Break all the rules with your own fist?"
Seeing this, Lin Junwu couldn't help but smile and thought to himself: "I wonder if this is the reason why Meng Shan has been breaking the rules in Tianwu Continent?"
The leader did not let Lin Junwu and Mengshan wait long. As soon as they came out, he asked: "You two are Lin Junwu and Mengshan, right?"
Lin Junwu and Meng Shan nodded, and then the leader waved his hand and said: "That's you two. Come with me, I will take you to the tent camp in Tianji City."
"Then Junwu will thank you, sir." After saying this, Lin Junwu glanced at Mengshan, and then followed the leader in.
Meng Shan murmured, understanding that Lin Junwu wanted him not to talk nonsense, and then followed in.
After entering the military camp, we saw several large tent camps along the way. There was an open space outside these tent camps, and some soldiers were training in the open space. These were probably the tent camps and soldiers from other cities.
After passing a few corners, Lin Junwu and Meng Shan saw a tent camp that was slightly smaller than the other tent camps. Then the leader pointed at the tent camp and said, "That's it."
He turned around and left without waiting for Lin Junwu and Mengshan to say anything.
Lin Junwu and Meng Shan took one look at the tent and felt a little bad in their hearts.
It seems that there is something wrong with Tianji City...
Along the way, Lin Junwu and Meng Shan saw that the other camps were of the same size, and all the soldiers without exception were training in the open space.
However, the tent camps in Tianji City are slightly smaller than those in other cities, and the shield team is not training, and there is a faint smell of blood.
Seeing this, Meng Shan looked a little anxious and wanted to go over and take a look, but Lin Junwu stretched out his hand to hold him down.
Meng Shan looked up and saw Lin Junwu shaking his head at him, and saw his eyes saying "Let me come."
Seeing that Mengshan was silent and motionless, Lin Junwu asked Lin Junwu to go over and take a look.
Lin Junwu walked over and said as he walked: "City Lord! Ye Yi! Zeshan!"
He shouted several times in succession, but there was no answer.
A trace of doubt flashed in Lin Junwu's eyes. The leader had just come to report that Zhou Liang and the shield team must be here, but they didn't answer him at this time, as if no one was there.
Lin Junwu thought for a while and felt that he had to go forward to see what was going on. When he walked to the tent and was about to open the tent, he suddenly frowned and ducked aside.
As soon as he moved to the side, a black figure jumped out from the tent, then jumped into the air and fell to the ground without any surprise.
Lin Junwu helplessly held his forehead and said, "Ye Yi, what do you want to do?"
It turned out that the one who threw himself on the ground was Ye Yi, the biggest treasure of the Shield Team. Ye Yi stood up while touching his dusty face, with a playful smile on his face.
Then he smiled and said: "Of course I'm here to welcome Brother Lin and Meng Duila."
Lin Junwu couldn't help but laugh. At the same time, he also knew that the previous silence was probably intentional by the Shield Team.
Sure enough, after Meng Shan came over, Ye Yi started to explain.
In fact, the Shield Team was also training before, but after the leader arrived, they stopped training when they knew it was Lin Junwu and Mengshan. After some calculations, they planned to give Lin Junwu and Mengshan a surprise.
Unexpectedly, I was surprised, but the person who was surprised was Ye Yi, the proposer.
"If that's the case, why is this tent smaller than others, and why does it smell like blood?" Mengshan asked aloud.
When Ye Yi heard this, the smile on his face faded, and then sighed: "Those bloodstains are not ours, they are just the bloodstains of some spiritual beasts. But the reason why this camp is small, there is indeed something going on.
…”
Lin Junwu and Mengshan looked at each other, and then asked aloud: "What is going on?"
