Chapter 574: Tragic Experience
This incident already made Xu Qian and Zhang Qiang feel very dreamy, but they didn't expect this to be just the beginning.
After the two were pushed out to be executed, they were about to be executed, but suddenly all the soldiers who were executed fled, and the two unbelievably survived, tied up and fled with the fleeing crowd.
It turned out that because the enemy launched a powerful siege of the city, for a time there were fires everywhere in the city, coupled with some people shouting in a panic, everyone thought that the enemy had broken through the city and rushed in, and for a time the people and the officers and soldiers in the city scattered and fled and fell into a panic.
In this way, Xu Qian and Zhang Qiang survived unexpectedly, they found a hidden place to untie the rope and hide, and the two who didn't know everything were very confused at this time and didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, the two of them did not hesitate too much, and three days later, Fengling City was breached, the kingdom and his palace were washed in blood, everyone died at the hands of the soldiers of Chu State, and all the people in the city were also captured as slaves.
Xu Qian and Zhang Qiang were also taken away together as ordinary residents among these slaves, and the two of them suffered all the way with the army, and these people did not treat them as human beings at all.
After the Chu State occupied the Wind Spirit Country, these people from the Wind Spirit Country were also sold as slaves and sold to all over the world, Xu Qian and Zhang Qiang were sold to a remote place in the Chu State among the same group of slaves, where a wealthy duke spent money to buy their group of slaves.
But what I didn't expect was that the slave team transporting Xu Qian, Zhang Qiang and others was robbed halfway.
At that time, the slaves were transported by old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, who were no match for the robbers, so frightened that they threw down their money and weapons and fled in a swarm, leaving all the slaves behind.
The robbers at that time also didn't expect that they just wanted to rob some money, but they unexpectedly got so many slaves, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
In desperation, the robbers brought this group of slaves to the lair, and Xu Qian, Zhang Qiang and others became slaves of the robbers, doing particularly hard work under their beating and scolding every day, not only did they not have enough to eat, but they were often beaten.
This world is full of mages, Xu Qian and Zhang Qiang, as two ordinary people, are inferior to ordinary slaves, and are even more despised by the robbers, until a Chu State sent troops to encircle and suppress, the robbers let all the slaves run in the front as cannon fodder, and they used people as shields in the rear to fight with these generals.
How could a group of rabble robbers be the opponents of regular soldiers, they were exterminated in a while, Xu Qian and Zhang Qiang found a ravine to hide from the beginning, so no one found them after the robbers were exterminated, and the other slaves were all taken away before the two escaped in the battlefield.
This time the two men were finally free, they pulled off the clothes of the dead man, changed their tattered slave clothes, and went in the opposite direction from the soldiers.
After going through so much, the two of them also mastered some basic information about this world, and they were not discovered by anyone under the deliberate evasion, Xu Qian and Zhang Qiang fled all the way to the territory of the ancient country.
But the tragic thing is that the system of the ancient kingdom is very strict, and they were once again caught and imprisoned without identity plates, but this time it was much better than before.
The officials who interrogated the two at that time immediately reported to the higher authorities when they knew that the two of them were actually slaves who had escaped from the Chu State, and the upper authorities also sent someone to pick them up.
Later, after several tosses, Xu Qian and Zhang Qiang were sent to a group of robbers again, and at this time the two of them knew that the reason why there were so many robbers in the Chu State was all secretly supported and arranged by the ancient country.
The two finally didn't have to be slaves this time, but these robbers also controlled the two of them, and they wanted Xu Qian and Zhang Qiang to blend into the troops of the Chu State to become high-level, and then secretly listen to the news and send it back to the ancient country to be a spy.
For this reason, Gu Guo also spent a lot of effort to train the two, and there was a very powerful mage in this gang of robbers, teaching Xu Qian and Zhang Qiang to learn spells.
What everyone didn't expect was that Xu Qian and Zhang Qiang learned spells faster than peerless geniuses, and their strength could be said to have improved by leaps and bounds, which made the masters of the two people move their minds, and they couldn't bear to let them be spies for a while.
So the two of them were secretly taken out by the master and escaped, and after escaping, the two followed the master and kept concentrating on cultivation without contact with the outside world, and they passed like this for several years.
When the strength of the two was steadily rising, one day their master went out to run errands, and they never came back.
There was no master for a while, so the two of them could only study what the master taught alone, and then draw inferences from each other to calculate how to cultivate next, and in this way, after a few months, the two were finally discovered.
At first, it was just that some ordinary people found something abnormal in the mountains and forests, so they reported it to the officials of Chu State, and they thought it was a hidden bandit, so they sent troops to encircle and suppress it again, and Xu Qian and Zhang Qiang were arrested again.
This time, because the ancient kingdom had already arranged a new identity for the two, they were not found to be escaped slaves, otherwise they would have been executed.
The officials who interrogated the two thought that they were mages who were cultivating in the mountains, so they wanted to recruit them to serve in the army, and the two joined the army of Chu after weighing them.
At that time, the state of Chu was already preparing to start a war with the ancient country, and the two followed the army to fight together, and in an accident, they were promoted to a high position with repeated military exploits, but then a deeper misunderstanding brought bad luck to the two again.
The troops of the State of Chu occupied the ancient city that had captured the two of them before during an expedition, and unexpectedly got a lot of information, and the person who occupied the city happened to be the opponent of Xu Qian and Zhang Qiang, and they kept looking at the two of them unpleasantly.
In this way, he accidentally got the information that the two were spies sent by the Chu State, and the man complained to the king and exposed the two, and the king was angry and arrested the two again and put them on death row.
After so many things, the two of them have become numb to these, and after being imprisoned, they quietly waited to be executed, who knew that this time they let the two escape alive.
Because the robbers planted by the ancient country happened to come to rob the prison at this time, because there were many masters of the ancient country imprisoned in this death row, Xu Qian and Zhang Qiang were rescued as companions and sent to the ancient country again.
This time, the two settled down completely in the ancient country, were greatly commended as heroes, and lived a comfortable life.
