Chapter 81: You and My Brother
In this high-rise building, there are five or six stone staircases connecting each floor, and each stone staircase is extremely wide, so that five or six people walking side by side appear to be spacious. Qi Ji was left on the first floor, and the vultures fluttered their wings and flew to Ren Zhong's shoulders.
As you go up one floor at a time, you'll be surprised to find that this large building actually hides a small town.
Everything you need.
The first layer houses mounts and some other livestock. Spirit animals, horses, and edible animals are kept separately, and the ventilation is excellent to ensure that there are so many animals crowded on the first floor, but there is no smell of excrement.
The second and third floors are where the soldiers are stationed, with a well-disciplined layer and a noisy celebration on the other. In the past, the archers and shield-wielding warriors of the hundred numbers lived in two floors, so you can imagine how large the capacity of this building is!
When you reach the fourth floor, the space suddenly becomes very narrow, because it is divided into small rooms with closed doors. Helian Xiaojiang could only imagine for himself that behind the doors were goods or cells containing prisoners and prisoners. As soon as he imagined that goosebumps all over his body came out, Helian Xiaojiang hurriedly walked upstairs.
I couldn't guess that the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors were actually inhabited by ordinary people. All kinds of occupations and all ages, no different from the people in ordinary towns. People come and go in harmony. Although the people looked at the group of people passing by curiously, they did not panic or say much.
The eighth floor, the highest floor of the building. Upon entering the first stone staircase, heavily armed soldiers are guarded, and the stone staircase goes straight up to the mysterious end.
Starting from the first floor, the more he walked up, the more surprised and admired Helian Xiaojiang became. The building reminded her of a previous news story in a town where everyone lived in the same building and had everything without leaving home. But that's in her world, with the help of high technology.
Ren Zhong's brows furrowed deeper and deeper as he went up. This opponent is unfathomable, and can place his men and civilians in the desert, and in such a way that the "man" is at least a wizard. Ren Zhong has always only regarded Xie Ancheng as his number one rival, but now it seems that he is too short-sighted.
As the saying goes: there are people outside of people, and there are heavens outside of the sky.
When their feet landed on the last step of the ladder, the soldiers, accustomed to hovering on the brink of death, were not overwhelmed with nervousness. His hand grabbed the sword at his side.
The style of the eighth floor is similar to the truth-seeking, pragmatic and simple dress of the lower layers, but perhaps because the space is more airy, it is more strict and atmospheric. When you enter the eighth floor, the first thing you see is the large open space. The two rows of people on the left and right continue to stand neatly from the stone ladder entrance, on the left is a burly general, and on the right, although they are also wearing weapons, they are a little less solemn, and they should be civilian officials. Both boyfriends are in the prime of life.
This should be their council hall.
The eyes of everyone present fell on the bodies of several of their outsiders, with complicated feelings. Far from kindness anyway. Helian Xiaojiang slowed down and walked at the back.
The man in the middle was the only one sitting, with a simple wooden chair underneath. The interior is brightly lit, and the floors are shielded from the desert heat, leaving only the appropriate warmth of early summer. But the man on the chair was dressed very thickly, with a cotton undershirt, and a thick cloak with peacock blue edges and white fox fur on the outside, and the whole person was sunk in the clothes.
Even if this person has three layers of clothes inside and three layers of clothes on the outside, he can still see at a glance that he is much worse than the ordinary burly Wu people.
He was quite tall, and he had to stretch his long legs forward when he sat on a high chair. The exposed face is extremely thin, and the cheeks are sunken inwards with almost no flesh, which makes the originally three-dimensional facial features even more prominent. The cheekbones and nose are raised high, and the bones of the hands that are randomly placed on the armrests are distinct, and the bones under the skin seem to be visible when the light shines.
This is a man with a hidden disease.
The vulture, which had been obediently clinging to the shoulders of Ren Zhong, suddenly screamed, waved its huge wings and flew towards the man, landing steadily on his emaciated shoulders.
"Don't come unharmed, gale. The man touched the vulture's lower abdomen lovingly, then turned to Ren Zhong and said, "Don't come unharmed, Ren Zhong." ”
At first glance, Ren Zhong saw that the man above was in a state of distraction, and he was stunned. When everyone came back to their senses, they realized: the fact that these two people knew each other. Ren Zhong took two steps and took one step forward and pointed at the other party's nose, and his voice was loud: "Ren Yi!
"Bold, how dare you speak to the general like that. Stand back. The young man who had led the way immediately exploded and jumped between the two with his sword raised. Offending someone you respect is sometimes even more angry than being offended.
"Huh, go down. Ren Yi's voice was not loud, with weakness.
The young man in front of him who was named immediately restrained all his anger and retreated to the man's side without saying a word, standing on the left hand side of the chair with a submissive and respectful expression.
The blue wolf was standing in front of everyone in a posture of being ready for battle, but when he saw that the two of them not only knew each other in this battle, but also had a good relationship. So he didn't hesitate to turn around and walk backwards and stand with Helian Xiaojiang, looking like he didn't want to participate in the shopkeeper.
Everyone's attention was on Ren Zhong and Ren Yi, and they didn't care about the actions of the blue wolf.
"I haven't seen him for more than 20 years, and the first greeting is with dirty words and curses, what a good brother for me. Ren Yi held on to the armrest, slowly got up from the chair, and walked over to his younger brother.
Not to mention the friendship is not shallow, it turns out that they are two brothers who are related by blood! When they learned this explosive news, only the twenty soldiers on Ren Zhong's side were surprised. The people on Ren Yi's side, the two rows of civil and military subordinates on the left and right only frowned slightly. I should have known that there was such a relationship.
The two stood face to face, the height difference was almost the same, but the difference in size was more than doubled. If you look closely, the contours of the faces seem to be similar. The elder brother is Ren Yi, and the younger brother is heavy. The leader of a mysterious force hidden in the desert of the Northwest, a leading brother with a deep love and a great reputation. Decades apart, but reunited in this way and in this capacity. Human encounters are also magical.
Is there anything more tearful and exciting than meeting relatives in a distant country who I haven't seen for many years? But Ren Chong's expression is more of the anger of being deceived, and Ren Yi looks at Ren Chong's anger as if he is an older child watching a child make a fuss. With connivance and bad taste.
"Didn't you die in Tongxiang?"
Because my brother went away to a foreign land for himself, the news was finally cut off and it was said that he died accidentally, and he couldn't even find his body. I have been sad and guilty all the time, and I have lived a good life.
