Ye Wujian looked around with joy on his face, but there were too many people in the past, for a child who was only ten years old, everything was too strange and huge, strange and curious, huge but frightening. Ye Wujian was both happy and a little apprehensive, holding the corner of the warrior's clothes and looking around. Ye Wujian had been following the warrior for several days, and it was the first time he had shown that he was so close to him.

Ye Wujian saw a smile on the warrior's face.

Then Ye Wujian saw the sugar gourd, which was a delicacy that Ye Wujian had been thinking about since he was in Liangcheng. The sugar gourd in Taicheng is even more incredible, larger than that in Liangcheng, the color is more vivid, and the taste must be more delicious. My gaze was locked on the sugar gourd. The samurai didn't show any strange thing about me, and walked straight forward. Ye Wujian wanted to ask him to buy a bunch for Ye Wuji, but he was still unable to speak, so he just pulled the corner of the warrior's clothes hard, hoping that he could show it himself. The helpless and ruthless samurai walked indifferently past the sugar gourd, indifferent. Ye Wujian was frustrated and hated the ruthlessness of the samurai.

Eventually, though, the samurai appeared. He shook his head and bought a bunch for Ye Wuji, and said, "This kind of thing is poison, and these things that people can't forget are poison to us." ”

Ye Wujian took the sugar gourd and ate it with satisfaction. Whether it was poison or not, Ye Wujian felt that the samurai were still good.

After a while, Ye Wuqian finished eating the sugar gourd. Ye Wujian now this Taicheng is even bigger than Ye Wujian imagined, because several people kept walking again, but they still didn't see the border city wall of Taicheng. It's just that there are fewer and fewer people around. In the end, the samurai changed into the armor that Ye Wujian had put on when he first saw him in a room, and the indifferent mask on his face was put on again, and several people walked into an area where there were no shops and almost no pedestrians. The surrounding buildings are more prosperous and splendid, and there are queues of troops patrolling from time to time. This spec and feel is like a legendary royal palace. But isn't the Imperial Palace only allowed to exist in the Imperial City?

The army walked past a few people and did not show any objections to the appearance of a few people, Ye Wujian just saw that these patrolling soldiers were well-trained and energetic, not at all like the non-commissioned officers that Ye Wujian usually saw. Ye Wujian thought that if the three non-commissioned officers in the forest at that time could be like them, maybe they would not be so easy to be killed by the samurai.

At the same time, Ye Wujian also appeared, in fact, these soldiers were full of curiosity about the samurai, every time they passed by, Ye Wujian could see their squinting expressions looking at the samurai, and those eyes were full of curiosity and awe.

In the end, the samurai handed Ye Wujian into the hands of an old grandfather who resembled a butler. The old man was followed by two retinues, who seemed to be of no low status, but still respectful to the samurai.

For the first time, the samurai squatted down and looked at Ye Wuji, although he was wearing a mask, Ye Wujian knew that the samurai's face must be smiling. He said to Ye Wuji: "You follow him, in the future, you will train here." ”

Ye Wujian knew what he meant, and the warrior was saying goodbye to Ye Wuji. Seriously, Ye Wujian and the samurai have been together for a few days, and they haven't talked much. But somehow, Ye Wujian was a little reluctant. These mysterious and powerful people all have one quality, and the separation is most likely goodbye.

Ye Wujian couldn't speak, and he didn't know what to say. The samurai touched my head affectionately. whispered to Ye Wuji, "Try to stay." You are his offspring, and I believe in you. Be sure to be a 'dragon scale'. ”

Ye Wujian didn't know what to do, but nodded. The warrior also nodded to Ye Wuji, then got up and turned to leave. At that moment, Ye Wujian really wanted to follow the samurai. At this time, Ye Wujian suddenly understood why Ye Wujian had such a strong sense of dependence on the samurai. This sense of dependence is actually very similar to Lao Li. I thought of Lao Li, and I thought of the samurai. Ye Wujian suddenly appeared, in fact, the world Ye Wujian was in was so strange and dangerous, whether it was in Peach Blossom Village, where the true side was hidden, or in a strange area where several people had traveled all the way. These two powerful and mysterious figures may be making inexplicable resistance to protect Ye Wujian and the world, and these resistances are invisible to Ye Wuji. When Ye Wujian was by their side, the feeling of being at ease no matter what was the result was derived from this.

But now, they are all gone. Really, it is up to Ye Wujian to face this dangerous world by himself.

The old man bent down and said to Ye Wujian with a smile: "The adults must be tired all the way here." Let's go and rest with the villain. The official course will not start until the day after tomorrow. ”

Ye Wujian nodded inexplicably, and followed the old man towards the deep palace.

Two days later, Ye Wujian and forty-nine other children stood on the huge training ground. The hot sun was hanging high in the sky, and Ye Wuqian was impatient, but he didn't dare to make a mistake. Looking around, it seems that everyone else is the same.

Ye Wujian had initially understood that the location where Ye Wujian was located was called 'Jade Mansion', and its lord was Wang Yu, the lord of Taicheng. In the past two days, according to the housekeeper's grandfather, Taicheng still has a certain uniqueness in the imperial city, although Taicheng is very close to the imperial city, but Taicheng is almost not subject to the imperial city control, and everything in Taicheng is still decided by the city lord. As for the reason, no one mentioned it to Ye Wuji.

However, Wang Yu's daughter seems to be the most favored of the many concubines of Li Zong in the imperial city today. Come to think of it, although he is the head of a country, he can't take care of his father-in-law, right?

And the fifty children standing in the square seemed to be carefully selected by Wang Yu to send people like samurai to various parts of the country. The purpose of the leaf is not missing, and I don't know it for the time being. But a friend who knew a little about the market told Ye Wujian that half of these fifty people couldn't survive.

Fifty people lined up in a rectangular line, and Ye Wujian looked to the left front and looked at the back of that friend. The two met by chance yesterday, he looked at me very strangely, and suddenly said to Ye Wuji: "We can be an alliance and live together."

He said, "My name is Lin Tianyu. ”

In front of the Boy Scouts stood five grown men, all five of them standing with their hands in their hands, full of energy, and their eyes sharp and terrifying. They stood in the scorching sun with everyone else, and they were standing here even before Ye Wujian came to line up. But the scorching sun didn't seem to have any effect on them, and looking at these scouts, they were loose and unmotivated.

Under the eaves of five men far away, sat a mother and son. The mother and son were dressed gorgeously, and there were maids next to them to fan them. They watched everyone from afar, motionless. That gorgeously dressed woman should be Wang Yu's daughter? That child is the emperor's child?

The samurai standing in the middle suddenly shouted, "You all stand up for me!"

Everyone stood up a lot straighter in an instant. The samurai continued, "From this day forward, you will be trained in secret in the collective here. The so-called secret training means that you cannot go out without permission, and no one will come to visit you. You have to fulfill every task we have set you. Those who fail to meet the task will be punished accordingly. The training time depends on the results of your training. ”

Saying this, the samurai's voice became a little lower: "Most of you children come from remote areas, and there are no officials who record you. From the day you step here, you should know that this is the only place in this world that can confirm your existence. Here, too, destroy your existence. In other words, from this day forward, your destiny will no longer be under your control. What you can do is to make yourself stronger, strong enough to fulfill all the commands in the future, and if you can't do it, there is no need for you to exist. ”

Many of the children here are about the same size as Ye Wuji, eight to twelve years old. And Ye Wujian has been deeply aware of one thing since he was a child, Ye Wujian is much more mature than ordinary peers. I'm afraid that many people here have no concept of this samurai's words. But Ye Wujian understands, Ye Wujian knows, all of them are probably sentenced to life imprisonment here, and if they try to escape from prison or do not follow the rules, they will be executed.

Ye Wujian looked at Lin Tianyu's back. Immediately realized that he was an incredible person. And he didn't seem to be much older than Ye Wuji.

The feeling he gave me inexplicably reminded Ye Wujian of my other partner. He is the boss of Peach Blossom Village.

He had a very strange name: "Bai Tu Simao." ”

His surname is Baitu, which is rumored to be very rare. Bai Tu Simao told Ye Wujian that his surname was the only one left in their generation. For this reason, Si Mao, who was three years older than Ye Wuji, told Ye Wuqian that he would definitely marry many women in the future and give birth to many boys. He said that he would never give birth to a girl, because the girl's surname would change to that of a boy when she married. So he only gives birth to boys, and he wants his sons to have boys, and he wants to expand the bloodline of his surname, and he wants to revive the glory of their family.

Ye Wujian stared at him intently, like staring at a big man from above. His eyes were full of longing: "You know really! Your dreams are amazing!"

He looked proud: "Of course. ”

He put one hand on my shoulder, showed a mysterious smile, and said to Ye Wuji: "Ye Wuji, I see that you have no companions in the village. That's not going to work. People in the rivers and lakes, if they don't have companions, they will die quickly. In this way, you will be mixed with me from now on, and I will be your companion. ”

At that time, he didn't want Ye Wujian to be his boss, he regarded Ye Wujian as a companion. It's not the same as the people who are around him. But Bai Tu Simao is already the eldest of several children, and his status is extraordinary, without any conflict of interest, he takes great care of Ye Wujian very much, but he doesn't need Ye Wujian to listen to his orders and recognize him as the king.

Bai Tu Simao is an extremely powerful person, he is intelligent, and he can see through people's lies at a glance. He wasn't very tall, but many of the older kids weren't his opponents. He protects younger children from being bullied by older children, and in the eyes of all children, his prestige even exceeds that of his own parents.

But when he wanted to be his companion, Ye Wuqian didn't immediately agree, and Ye Wujian told him that there was another additional condition for Ye Wujian to be his companion. He asked Ye Wujian what it was? Ye Wujian said that he would count Lingling. He smiled and nodded.

Since then, Ye Wujian and Lingling, who were originally lonely in the village, instantly became the envy of the children. Whenever Bai Tu Simao took Ye Wujian and Lingling to walk on the only avenue in the village, Ye Wujian would raise his proud face. Ye Wujian could feel the little ones who were squatting and showing their faces of admiration for the two people. Ye Wujian knew that in their eyes, the two people at that moment were the king.

However, Bai Tu Simao told Ye Wuqian that there was still a very difficult road to becoming a king. First of all, you have to make your body very strong. On that day, several people went to climb Longbei Mountain behind the village in order to exercise. In order to wait for the slow spirit, several people stopped and stopped all the way. Ye Wujian was a little frustrated, sitting on the same big stone as Bai Tu Si Mao, watching the tired and panting spirit approach a few people little by little. Ye Wujian said that in this way, only the spirit spirit can be exercised.

Bai Tu Simao smiled and told Ye Wujian that everything people do is slowly shaping themselves, until in the end, the way you become is because of the bits and pieces of your past. Don't look at us as if we are not as tired as Lingling, but this is also a kind of exercise, and you can soon become a powerful character like Ye Wujian. The same can defeat those who are taller than you and stronger than you.

Ye Wujian said that this is true? He said of course, and after that, he showed a strange smile and said, Ye Wujian has worked hard to train himself for this, and he comes to climb the mountain every day. And there are some other secrets on this mountain, which even the adults in the village don't know.
