Under the leadership of Yingci, Li Yiheng and Qingping came to an empty house in the center of the city to settle down. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Yiheng just sat down, and asked Yingci busily: "Can you answer me a question first, are you from the royal family here?"

Ying Ci looked at Li Yiheng's knowledge-seeking seriousness, put away his joking attitude, and replied seriously: "Of course, I am a member of the royal family here, but it is not particularly important. ”

"Then when you were at the border, why didn't the sentries recognize you, or if you identified us, we wouldn't have suffered so much, and we almost got lost after a big circle in the jungle. Li Yiheng deliberately exaggerated his experience in the dense forest, hoping to use Bo's sympathy for Yingci, judging from the scene where Li Yiheng and Qingping performed together, Yingci was easily moved and blamed for himself.

But at this moment, Ying Ci was very calm, knowing that Li Yiheng's words were exaggerated, but Ying Ci said as if he was deliberately trying to hide something: "That's because the sentinels guarding the border are not under the jurisdiction of my clansmen, so they will chase after me." ”

"Could it be that there are other enemies in your Ying clan?" this made Li Yiheng even more curious.

But Yingci didn't seem to be ready to answer his question, and said to Qingping: "You guys live here for the time being, but don't run around without me!"

Qingping was about to say something more, but Yingci had already flapped his wings and left.

"What, it's equivalent to saying nothing, just leaving the two of us here. Li Yiheng complained.

"After all, we still came in, as for when to act, this is our freedom, we will go out and take a look around her affairs and ask if there is anything to gain. Qingping was ostensibly intoxicated by Yingci, and as soon as Yingci left, he immediately regained his senses.

The two looked at the simple layout of the house, there was almost no extra furniture, in addition to two stools and a wooden table, there were two hammocks, and at one end of the hammock was a square wooden wardrobe, Li Yiheng found two long shirts worn by the locals in the wardrobe, and said to Qingping: "You see these two clothes, they are worn by local city residents, why don't we wear them too, disguise ourselves as city citizens here, and it will be much easier to move." ”

Qingping nodded in agreement, and the two changed into robes, covered their heads, and went out.

The streets were bustling, and many people were wearing blue-gray robes, which provided Li Yiheng and Qingping with good hiding conditions, and they really had the feeling of "hidden in the city".

Just when the two of them were secretly proud, the street was suddenly crowded not far away, and the flow of people was pouring in that direction, Li Yiheng and Qingping followed the flow of people to the place that caused the crowding, only to see that it was two soldiers of the Ying tribe escorting a young man of the Qing nationality who was only dressed to cover his body, but with a sturdy physique, standing on a wooden platform, and on the wooden platform, there was an old man of the Ying tribe who looked like a merchant and was shouting to the onlookers under the wooden platform: "This is a sturdy male slave of the Qing tribe, a legal source, and the asking price is not high, if you need it, hurry up and pay to take it away!" ”

Qingping heard the merchant calling the Qing clan, and also squeezed through the crowd of onlookers to get up, when he saw his own people being sold as commodities, Qingping was extremely angry, and was about to go to the stage to teach the old merchant a lesson, but was caught by Li Yiheng and pushed aside: "You are crazy, this will attract the rest of the soldiers, didn't Yingci explain that you can't act in her absence? Besides, you haven't found out the situation yet, don't act blindly." ”

"But that's really my people, how can I sit idly by and ignore such an insult. Qingping was blinded by anger at this time, and he couldn't listen to Li Yiheng's persuasion.

Although Li Yiheng understood Qingping's mood at this time, he did not lose his mind like him, and continued to comfort Qingping: "When Yingci comes back, it's not too late for us to ask about the situation before making the next move, remember that impulsiveness is not advisable." ”

Qingping looked at the escorted clansmen on the stage again, but this time after a closer look, there was a smug look on the slave's face, and Qingping did not find the ashamed expression that should be in this situation, which made Qingping very puzzled: "How do you feel that he is happy to be a slave? What about the self-esteem of the Qing people? The shame that a man should have? Why can't he see it on his face at all?"

Li Yiheng asked a young man of the Ying nationality beside him, the young man was gorgeously dressed and looked very rich: "Is this a member of the Qing nationality?

The young man of the Ying nationality looked at Li Yiheng, thinking that Li Yiheng was also here to buy slaves, so he said: "These Qing people dislike their country is too poor, and are willing to come to our city to work as slaves, the price is low, if you fancy it, you can buy it back, you can work hard, I already have two at home, I don't need too much, really, I sincerely recommend it to you." ”

Looking at the young man's ostentatious smug look, Qingping couldn't wait to beat him directly.

Li Yiheng responded with a fake smile, politely rejecting the "kindness" of the young man of the Ying nationality, and keenly observed that the young man was a little different from the soldiers of the Ying nationality who he saw in the guard tower: the wings on the back of the soldier were blue-gray, while the wings on the back of the young man in front of him were black, Li Yiheng turned around in the crowd and found that most of the onlookers had black wings on their backs.

Li Yiheng told Qingping about this discovery, and Qingping, who was still angry, also walked around the crowd and found that it was really different as Li Yiheng said.

"Could it be that this is what Ying Ci said, that the Ying clan is also divided into two sub-races, or two different alliances?" Li Yiheng speculated and said to Qingping.

At this time, the crowd of onlookers erupted into an even more enthusiastic noise, it was someone who had bought the male slave of the Qing tribe, and the merchant on the wooden platform was trading with the buyer.

Qingping huddled in the crowd, went around to the back of the wooden platform, and saw that the two soldiers who were escorting the slaves were also black at the fold of the wings on their backs, and the buyer was about to put the iron chain with the thickness of his arm around the neck of the Qing slave.

Qingping's sudden action made Li Yiheng not react in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Qingping, but the two soldiers who fell off the wooden platform had already stood up, already holding sabers in their hands, and were about to besiege Qingping.

Li Yiheng secretly complained: "Qingping, you are really going to cause trouble for me." ”

So Li Yi rushed behind the two soldiers with a horizontal arrow, and while their attention was on Qingping's body, his right palm turned into an umbrella blade, and aimed at the necks of the two of them was a fierce blow twice, and the two soldiers fainted to the ground again before they could figure it out.

The onlookers had already scattered and fled, and the originally lively streets suddenly became quiet, Qingping walked up to the Qing slaves and asked sharply: "If you don't let the free people do it, why do you want to be slaves?"

The slave was obviously frightened by the sudden formation just now, and he trembled and didn't know how to answer, Qingping was even more annoyed, slapped the slave in the face, and scolded: "Speak, why do you want to be a slave of the Ying clan?"

The buyer held the chain in one hand, looked at Qingping scolding the slave, and puzzled: "What are you doing, he is mine now, get out of here." ”

Qingping was angry at the moment, and the buyer's words sounded mocking to him, so he raised his leg and kicked the buyer off the wooden platform, and Li Yiheng hurriedly knocked the buyer unconscious.

The old businessman next to him saw that Qingping had killed Qingping halfway and ruined his business, so he was also annoyed and angry, and scolded Qingping with his head and face: "You little thing, bad for my business, go, follow me to see the king for comment." As he spoke, he was about to step forward and pull Qingping.

In the pushing, Qingping used too much force, and overturned the old merchant to the ground, the old merchant fell on the wooden platform in pain, Qingping turned around and continued to reprimand the young man of the Qing tribe: "Speak, do you dislike your own people?"

The young man finally realized that Qingping in front of him was also a compatriot of the Qing clan at this moment, put away his frightened look, and asked Qingping in turn: "This place is rich, why can't you come here, do you have to live at the bottom of the darkness for the rest of your life?"

"Isn't being a slave of the Ying people the lowest level?, or do you think it's honorable?" Qingping was even more annoyed, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.

"At least you don't have to go hungry. The young man blurted out.

This sentence suddenly pierced Qingping's heart, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he simply punched the young man.

The old merchant who fell to the ground suddenly spread his wings, which were black, like vulture-like wings, and the feathers were dry and lusterless, and Li Yiheng even doubted whether he could fly.

However, this also verifies Li Yiheng's guess: the Ying clan is a combination of two different ethnic groups, and there are still a lot of contradictions between the two ethnic groups, which can be known from the fact that Ying Ci was chased by the border sentinels. Just when Li Yiheng was thinking, the old merchant had already begun to flap his wings and wanted to leave, but unexpectedly, Qingping swept the old businessman's back wings with a whip leg, and the old businessman was swept to the ground by Qingping before he got up.

Seeing that the matter was getting bigger, Li Yiheng jumped on the wooden platform and stopped Qingping, who was beating the slave while carrying the old merchant in his arms: "Okay, the soldiers will come in a while, and they won't be able to run away if they want to." ”

Qingping still seemed to be puzzled at this moment, and said to the slave: "I remember you, and the next time I let me see it, I will bring you back to the Qing clan and expose your shameless behavior in front of all the clansmen." After speaking, he followed Li Yiheng and fled in the direction of the wooden house where he was placed.

On the way, Li Yiheng couldn't stop teasing Qingping: "You even let the old man go, and I also obeyed it." ”

Qingping was silent, maybe this time was a big blow to him, the slave of the Qing tribe made Qingping unable to find the hope of struggle, if the clansmen are all like this, then even if they steal the seeds of "mulberry ginseng", what is the use?
