Chapter 19: The Unknown Truth
In the face of the unknown master-apprentice relationship between Qing Wanjin and Ling Feng, Li Yiheng's spirit was hit again, not to mention that Qing Wanjin and Ling Feng pretended not to know each other at the boundary of the protective net, the two of them also had a very high degree of tacit cooperation, everyone present did not find clues, and now in the face of Ling Feng hiding on the branches, Li Yiheng and Qing Ping did not feel who he was, not to mention Qing Ping for the time being, because his current combat value is very low, and he has not yet reached the level of being able to detect the slightest movement of the enemy, Qing Wan Jin can feel that it is Ling Feng, except for the tacit understanding between master and apprentice, otherwise the two of them have a certain together**The same induction or similar energy emitted from the body or something.

Li Yiheng was trying to calm himself down and clarify the cause and effect of all the events, Ling Feng spoke: "Your name is Li Yiheng, if I remember correctly, I reminded you not to break into the territory of the Huo clan again, and", Ling Feng turned to face Qingping and said: "And you, you should be called Qingping, I came with him last time."
Hearing Ling Feng call his name, Qingping couldn't even believe that Ling Feng still remembered him, so there was no reason for all kinds of speculations that he had no sense of existence at the beginning, it seemed that Qingping had not mistaken Ling Feng, and the choice of treating Ling Feng as an idol was correct.
"Yes, it's me, I can't imagine that you still remember, I, I, I'm grateful for your help, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be standing here now, at that time, I didn't come at that time to thank you!"
Qingping said hesitantly, his face flushed slightly, like a young boy meeting a girl he had loved for a long time.
Li Yiheng saw Qingping's virtue, and couldn't help but ridicule: "I said Qingping, you can't be like this, if you are seen by other men, how can you gain a foothold in this world? Aren't you going to be laughed to death by the people here?"
Qing Ping didn't know how to answer Li Yiheng's teasing words for a while, and said hesitantly again: "Why, how can it be, I, I'm excited, do you understand?"
"Come on, I don't know you after we've been together for so long, and when I meet someone I worship, it's like a girl, not only the movements become distorted, but even the voice becomes girly, I can see this problem clearly. Li Yiheng faced Qingping's explanation and continued to attack. ā
Ling Feng saw that Li Yiheng's temper came up, and he didn't know whether he consciously or unconsciously avoided the question he had just asked, so he dragged Li Yiheng's clothes and repeated what he just said in front of Li Yiheng, Li Yiheng saw that Ling Feng also had an angry expression, so he apologized and said: "I'm sorry, I was sorting out the causes and consequences of these things just now, thank you for your help last time, please let us escape, and this time, it is also thanks to your help that we can escape, you are much better than your master." ā
After Li Yiheng finished speaking, he looked at Qing Wanjin provocatively, as if to say that you Qing Wanjin is not as good as an apprentice, and you are not ashamed.
Ling Feng saw that Li Yiheng had been able to accept the current reality, so he said: "You can't say that, everything I have learned has been taught to me by my master, so my master will always be a master, but you have never appreciated the true ability of my master." ā
Qing Wanjin was not angry in the face of Li Yiheng's ridicule, and said indifferently: "Ling Feng is still too modest, as the saying goes, it is unfortunate that you can't surpass the master's apprentice, you can save me in turn, as a master, I am also very pleased." ā
"So, how did you know each other and how did you become a master and apprentice?"
Qingping on the side couldn't help but ask, usually he didn't like to inquire about these things, but now he couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and rushed to ask questions in front of Li Yiheng.
"This is a long story, why don't I take you to my residence on the outskirts of the city, and then discuss it slowly, master, can you always see it?" Ling Feng looked at Qing Wanjin, waiting for Qing Wanjin's reply.
"It's okay, after such a long journey, you need to take a good rest, what do you think?"
Qing Wanjin looked at Li Yiheng and Qingping, as if asking their opinions.
But Li Yiheng complained in his heart: "Along the way, you can do whatever you say, there is no room for us to negotiate at all, and the amiable appearance in front of the apprentice today is really good at pretending." ā
"Since you have all said so, we don't have any good opinions, so let's leave everything to the arrangement of Mr. Qing and the prince. Li Yiheng deliberately bit the green character very hard to express his dissatisfaction, but how could Qing Wanjin take Li Yiheng's little trick to heart, and still look calm.
Qing Wanjin regrouped the herd of overhorned sheep, the four of them rode the sheep, and after a while, Ling Feng led the three of them to the outside of a rather secluded house on the outskirts of the city, the house was built inside a huge vertical branch, the windows and doors were naturally carved from the branches, and the outside was a leaf covering the top of the house, if you didn't look closely, you would think that this was just a few holes in the trunk that had been eaten by insects.
Inside, white light is projected through a row of skylights overhead, so that the room is not dark, and it can be seen that the craftsmen who designed the house have a rather clever and conventional window pattern, and will bring in a breeze from the outside into the house, making the house both dry and bright.
Li Yiheng and Qingping praised the ordinary and delicate construction pattern of the house, Ling Feng had already put the dew on the table for the three of them to quench their thirst, Ling Feng picked up a glass of water and respectfully handed it to Qing Wanjin, Qing Wanjin took the water cup with satisfaction and nodded with satisfaction.
Li Yiheng was not polite, he took a sip of the water cup, the dew was sweet, and there was a faint woody fragrance, Li Yiheng couldn't help but take another sip, and then took a breath and sat on the wooden chaise longue, not forgetting to continue to ask: "You haven't said how you became a master and apprentice?"
Ling Feng sat on the recliner next to Li Yiheng and said: "When I was ten years old, because I was naughty to pull out the thorns of the thorns, I was attacked by the thorns, and my whole body was entangled in the thorns, and those thorns pierced into my flesh and sucked my blood, at that time I thought that I was definitely going to die here, and it happened that the master passed by there, heard my cry for help, cut the thorns and rescued me, and since then I have been learning art with the master in private, and even my family doesn't know about this,"
Ling Feng took advantage of the recliner chair and continued: "My father was immersed in the pleasure of violence and didn't care about my life at all, so he didn't care about the injuries I suffered at that time. ā
Saying this, Ling Feng got up and walked towards Qing Wanjin, filled Qing Wanjin's cup with water, and continued: "So my youth was spent with my master, and the master and his old man gave me everything he had learned all his life, so to some extent, the master gave me more than my father.
"Then how can Mr. Qing shuttle between the two powerful countries?" Qingping seemed to have more questions, and asked questions without waiting for Li Yiheng to speak.
Ling Feng looked at Qing Wanjin, as if he was willing to tell the reason only after getting Qing Wanjin's answer.
Qing Wanjin got up and said: "Back then, I brought these shrines to the Huo Clan and asked for trade, because the contract clearly stated that no trade was allowed between different countries, but they had never seen the shrine, and they were even more amazed by the wonder of the shrine, so they played the boss on the spot, and the boss played the king, and bought all my shrines, which caused a sensation in the Qing nationality country at that time - finally someone can enter the Huo tribe!"
"Then these shrines are all in the Qing Nationality Country, and the growing places are dangerous and hidden, so you can monopolize the market for these shrines, or can it be said that only you can make shrines?" Li Yiheng reasoned matter-of-factly.
"Yes, it is with this unique secret of making shrines that I can get to where I am today, thanks to the Huo soldiers who chased and killed me back then. ā
Qing Wanjin was completely indifferent to Ling Feng's feelings, and Ling Feng seemed to agree with Qing Wanjin's straightforward statement.
Qingping listened to Ling Feng's words, and the churning in his heart slowly calmed down: "It turned out that he worshipped us Qing people as teachers, and it seems that our Qing people have high wisdom. ā
Ling Feng took Qing Wanjin's words and continued: "The effect of these shrines later reached the ears of the Ying people, and the Ying people sent envoys to the Huo nationality country, asking the Huo nationality to allow Qing Wanjin to enter and exit the two countries freely, but the premise is that the goods in hand must have shrines. ā
"So you can walk freely between the two countries?" Li Yiheng was afraid that he would be robbed by Qingping again, so he spoke first.
During the dialogue between the four of them, many Huo citizens suddenly gathered on the outskirts of the originally peaceful city, who raised their fists and came first with neat wings, shouting the slogans "We need more space" and "We want safer shelter".
Li Yiheng and the others, who were originally talking in the room, also looked outside.
Chapter 20 The Assembled Ranks of the Elderly
The procession marched towards the imperial palace in the center of the city, and Li Yiheng and the four of them saw the scene in front of them through the window, and they were all in a fog.
Li Yiheng asked Ling Feng: "This is your country, what are they protesting for?"
Ling Feng shook his head: "I don't know, there haven't been similar parades before, listening to the slogans they shouted, it should be to expand the place of existence or something." ā
Qingping asked: "Shouldn't your country be rich, how can there be a shortage of subsistence land, and besides, will such a protest be effective?"
Qing Wanjin leaned against the window and leaned over to look at the procession, most of the people in the procession were old Huo people, staggering, this is a very strange phenomenon, because the old Huo people will not complain about the size of the place of residence, as long as there is a place to live, besides, there are so many branches in the Huo nationality that have not been developed into houses, there is no reason to disturb the elderly Huo citizens.
But this is the fact in front of me, about 200 elderly Huo citizens marched to the palace, shouting the slogan of "more living space", which made the elderly Qing Wanjin, who had also experienced vicissitudes, feel incomprehensible.
Ling Feng felt bad and said goodbye to his master Qing Wanjin: "Master, the apprentice thinks that there will be an accident in this procession, and the apprentice wants to go back to the palace to have a look." ā
Qing Wanjin nodded and agreed: "Be careful, don't forget, we will help you!"
After Ling Feng finished speaking, he went out and flew towards the palace.
Li Yiheng couldn't sit still, he had always had some good things, how could he easily let go of such a big battle, and greeted Qingping: "Qingping, you see that these elderly Huo people are acting strangely, why don't we go over and have a look, maybe there will be some other gains." ā
Qingping knew that Li Yiheng wanted to join in the fun, and thought: "Anyway, it's idle, and you can walk freely in the Huo nationality country, so it's better to take a look around now, it's also worth the trip." ā
But Qingping looked at Qing Wanjin by the window by habit, although Qing Ping's interest in going out to explore was hooked by Li Yiheng, but he did not forget that this trip was led by Qing Wanjin, and it was appropriate to ask Qing Wanjin's opinion before acting.
Qing Wanjin also sensed Qingping's intention to look at him, and waved his hand at Qingping:
"Go ahead, as long as you don't get involved, just be a bystander, it's their Huo family's affair after all. ā
Qingping seemed to be recognized for doing something, and happily went out with Li Yiheng and chased towards the procession, while Qingwanjin popped out the tobacco leaves and continued to smoke, facing the procession and Qingping and Li Yiheng who chased after him, fell into deep thought.
Qingping and Li Yiheng were young and strong, so they quickly caught up with the procession, kept a certain distance behind the procession, and with the mentality of watching the excitement, hoping to be able to detect the real life of some Huo people, so that they could use it as information to collect.
Li Yiheng and Qingping were also regarded as part of the procession by the Huo people, and they were given a small flag to follow them, and now Li Yiheng and Qingping changed from the end of the team to the center of the procession and integrated into the procession.
In order to be able to perfectly integrate into the team and fully show their acting skills, Li Yiheng and Qingping raised their right fists with the team, shouting the same slogan, and even shouted even higher, driving the surrounding Huo citizens to shout slogans more energetically.
Along the way, as more and more elderly Huo people were added, the parade was like an army of old people, some even on crutches, and some were supported by other old people, just like the soldiers who had just returned from the battle.
The procession finally stopped at the gate of the main hall of the palace, and everyone stopped shouting, and it was terrifying for a while, which made many of the younger Huo people, including Li Yiheng and Qingping, feel a little trembling.
At this time, an elderly Huo person at the front of the team opened his throat and shouted: "Open the door, we want to see the king!"
Then, the crowd behind broke out at the same time: "Open the door, we want to see the king!"
"We want our own dwelling, not a house built out of a dilapidated tree trunk. ā
Li Yiheng and Qingping looked at the closed palace gate in front of them, in front of the gate were two pairs of heavily armed Huo soldiers, and there was a circular icon printed with the word "Huo" on the chest, this Li Yiheng clearly remembered that the red generals also had on their chests, Li Yiheng was sure: these soldiers standing guard were the Huo family army!
Two groups of ten Huo family soldiers stood majestically on both sides of the palace, and a Huo soldier who looked like an officer stood in the middle of the team with a gun, calmly watching the procession in front of him.
The old man of the Huo tribe who took the lead stepped forward and said to the Huo soldiers who looked like officers: "We want to see the king and discuss the issue of whether to compensate for the occupation of the branches where we live. ā
The officer-like Huo soldiers remained silent, still staring at the back of the procession, as if the old Huo man who spoke did not exist.
This annoyed the old man of the Huo people in front of the team, only to see the old man of the Huo people spread his wings, the wings were slightly yellow and gray, and he lost the light that white should have, and the wings fanned towards the Huo soldiers who were guarding, raising a puff of fine sand and blowing towards the guards.
The entourage behind the old man also spread their wings and waved their fans at the guards.
The Huo soldiers guarding still did not change their faces, standing motionless, neither threatening to draw their swords, nor making a move against the Huo elders who were repeatedly persecuted.
This only fueled the arrogance of these old men, who fanned their wings even more violently, raising more sand and soil to blow towards the guards and soldiers, some of whom were choking and coughing, but remained silent.
Li Yiheng and Qingping were a little overwhelmed, although they were old men, although Li Yiheng had also hated these Huo family soldiers for a while, but in the face of the current scene, Li Yiheng thought that these soldiers of the Huo family army were also selected from the Huo civilians, and they also had parents and old people, so the behavior of these Huo old people made Li Yiheng and Qingping very disdainful.
Li Yiheng and Qingping slowly withdrew from the procession, hiding on the periphery of the procession and observing the movement.
Just when the procession harassed the Huo family soldiers guarding the palace gate, the palace gate slowly opened, Ling Feng was about to come out, and the procession was quiet for a moment.
Ling Feng looked around for a week and said, "You can raise any grievances. ā
When everyone saw that it was His Royal Highness the Prince, they did not salute, and the old man of the Huo tribe who took the lead stepped forward and said: "Our residence is being invaded by the thorn strips, and for some reason, the thorn strips have been unusually active recently, so we ask to move to the center of the city to live." ā
The rest of the marcher chimed in: "Move to the center of the city, move to the center of the city!"
Ling Feng waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and said, "If things are really as everyone said, we will definitely open up a place in the center of the city for you to live in, but if I find out the situation and find that this is not the case, then whether it is an elder or not, I will definitely severely punish the troublemakers." ā
When the old man who took the lead heard Ling Feng's words, he didn't know if it was because of his weak heart, or because he was shocked by Ling Feng's strong tone, he unconsciously took a step back, his wings were folded, and he didn't have the arrogant posture just now.
"Okay, please ask His Royal Highness the Prince to come and inspect it in person, and there will be a result at that time. ā
The old man turned to face the crowd: "His Royal Highness the prince said that he will give us justice, what do you think?"
"Then check it out today and see what you can do. An elderly Huo said.
"Yes, check it today, it's unfair to us who live on the periphery!" another Huo who marched followed.
Ling Feng took a deep breath and said strongly, "Okay, I will take the soldiers to check today, you can go back first." ā
"No, if you want to check, let's go now, if we don't go back, we will be attacked by thorns when we go back, and it's not certain whether we can live or not. Another old man of the Huo nationality complained, as if in such a large group, he was the one who was hurt the most.
His words immediately exploded in the procession, and without any concern for the prince's face, as long as one of them dared to raise an objection in the procession, the rest would unanimously support him, which is a very interesting phenomenon in any group.
Ling Feng looked at the old man who raised objections, frowned, and said sharply: "Since the old gentleman has an opinion, why don't you invite the old gentleman to the inner hall to talk?"
Ling Feng said, his wings suddenly spread, fanning a strong gust of wind, this wind is stronger and stronger than the wind brought by this group of old men who flapped their wings together, and it is more powerful, bringing wind and sand to blow towards this group of stubborn old men, and the procession of the procession resounded one after another coughing.
Ling Feng stretched out all his white wings, reflecting the light and shining on everyone, such a powerful aura Li Yiheng also saw it for the first time, it was simply an angel who was good at fighting, despying the enemies he defeated.
"Does anyone else have any opinions?" Li Yiheng said in a deep voice.
The procession was silent before the people dispersed, bowing their heads to each other and saying something as they left.
Ling Feng stood until the last marcher left, then turned back to the palace, as if to make sure that these people would not make any more stubble in front of the palace.
Li Yiheng and Qingping, who were hiding in the nearby branches, witnessed Ling Feng's unruly leadership style this time, and they were even more impressed by Ling Feng, especially Qingping, whose adoring eyes were mixed with jealousy, wishing that they were Ling Feng's subordinates, even if they were standing guard at Ling Feng's house, so that they could see Ling Feng every day.
Li Yiheng saw that the procession had all left, and the words of the old man of the Huo tribe who had just led it echoed in his mind: I don't know if the so-called thorn invasion is really as the old man of the Huo tribe said, and has threatened their survival.
