Chapter 11: The Elite City

After crossing several villages, Shu Ye walked like a fly, came to the door of Aunt Hei's house who left last night, and opened the door. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Brother Shu?" The lame young man who opened the door was full of surprise, let him into the house, and asked with concern, "Are you and Sister Shu okay?"

"It's fine. Shu Ye threw the food and clothes in the corner of the house, only to see Aunt Hei come over, and said to them with a smile: "This is the food and clothes brought by the Elite City, I have carried some for you, and I estimate that you should be able to survive this winter." ”

"These ...... It's all ...... It's all food and clothing?" Aunt Hei was shocked and looked at Shu Ye suspiciously, "Xiao Ye...... Where did you get so much food and clothing, you and Xueyi, don't you?"

Two bags of grain are about two hundred catties, if you save a little, it is enough for her and her son to live for a year, since she lived in the Black Iron Tribe, there has not been so much food at home, excited and a little worried.

"Aunt Hei, don't worry, no one will grab this grain. Shu Ye briefly told the two of them about the situation in the iron field today, and said, "My sister and I are leaving the tribe, and food is useless to us.

"The patriarch is dead!" Aunt Hei was extremely shocked and couldn't hide her joy, "The leader of the warrior battalion is also dead?"

Shu Ye nodded: "The patriarch's lineage has been completely subdued, and the Elite City has rectified the tribe, and now everything is different from before." ”

He hid everything about his presence in the Iron Field, saying only that the messenger from the Elite City was not accustomed to the patriarch's actions and killed him, and removed the henchmen associated with him, and distributed all the food he had brought to the tribe.

"Aunt Hei, I'm leaving, take care. Shu Ye was in a hurry, and he couldn't stay here longer, so he explained a few words and said, "If you have something particularly important, let someone come to Jingjue City to find me, and I will receive the message." ”

The two nodded, although they were reluctant, they didn't say much, watching Shu Ye jump in and out of the snow, and disappeared after a while.

When he returned to the iron field, Shen Tie and the rest of the Elite City had already packed their bags and were setting off, Shu Xueyi was standing in the direction he came back, waiting anxiously.

"Little night, Aunt Hei, they ...... Is it still okay?" Shu Xueyi asked worriedly, "After we left last night, the warrior battalion broke into the village, and I don't know if it made it difficult for them." ”

"Sister, don't worry, Aunt Hei and they are fine. Shu Ye pulled her sister to follow the team of the Elite City and said, "I have already arranged it, don't worry." ”

Shen Tie looked back and saw Shu Ye and the others following, smiled, and made a move of his hand, allowing the team to speed up the pace of marching.

Walking eastward along the Black Iron Tribe and spending three days on the vast snowfield, everyone finally arrived at the Elite City.

The city is located in the center of Sixiang Mountain, built from east to north, facing the entire northern snow field, the city is strong and dangerous, majestic and magnificent, like a tiger lying on the ground, holding the entire north. It is the last big city in the north of the Chu State, and it is also the only transportation hub connecting the north and the south, and it is also the most important refined iron weapon refining base in the entire Chu State.

So, despite its remote location, it is bustling with activity.

Shen Tie and his entourage returned, and before they reached the city gate, dozens of people in fresh clothes and angry horses were already in the city to greet them.

Shu Yeding looked at it, only to see that among the group of people rushing over, the first one was an old man who looked to be half a hundred years old, with a thin figure and a glint in his eyes.

I saw him dismount fifty paces away and walk towards Shen Tie, starting to leap, fast and powerful, as if there was a huge amount of strength hidden in his weak body.

"Another powerful old man. Shu Ye thought of the old man of the Xue family who almost took his life, sighed, looked at the approaching old man, and said secretly in his heart, "But the strength of this person seems to be much stronger." ”

"Lord, you're finally back. The old man stopped, stood respectfully in front of Shen Tiema, and said, "The mansion has been cleaned up, let's enter the city." ”

Shen Tie nodded, said a few words to the team behind him, and after placing these fine iron and weapons, he took his own people into the city with the old man. The team that followed behind Shen Tie all the way, after he spoke, dispersed after a while, leaving only five or six silent young men and Shu Ye's sister and brother.

"What is the situation in the city during this time?" Shen Tie and the old man rode parallel to the front, marching towards the Exquisite City, "Nothing major happened. ”

"The big thing didn't happen, but ......" The old man hesitated for a moment, looked at Shen Tie's face, and continued, "Two days ago, Deputy Commander Li of the Tengyun Legion led people to the city, and he had to take another 10,000 iron armor and weapons, and he didn't have a very pleasant quarrel with the city lord. ”

"Tengyun Legion?" Shen Tie frowned, his heart was like a mist, "Didn't you just leave 10,000 iron armor and weapons a month ago, why did you come again?" ”

"The old slave doesn't know either. The old man shook his head and replied in a slur manner, "It's just that I heard that the battle with the Ye clan is very stalemate, and the weapons and iron armor are consumed quickly. ”

Shen Tie calculated in his heart, and then realized that something was wrong.

The Ye clan is just a tribe gathered in the north, although there are many people, but the average strength is not strong, it is impossible to be stationed in the north for ten years, the opponent of the Tengyun Legion, who is brave and good at fighting, is now able to fight with the Tengyun Legion into a stalemate situation, so that its ironclad weapons are depleted so quickly, there must be something strange in it.

There are 30,000 Tengyun Legion, each of them is a warrior realm, and the overall strength can be ranked in the top five in the entire Chu Legion.

In one month, one-third of the weapons were damaged, indicating that the front-line fighting was already very fierce.

He couldn't think of any reason for the sudden surge in the strength of the Ye clan, so he could only put this matter on hold first, and go to meet the city lord first, and then say, during the time he was gone, there must have been a lot of things backlogged in the city waiting for him to deal with.

Shen Tie turned his horse's head on the streets of the city, and was about to leave, when he suddenly saw Shu Ye and the others at the end of the team, hurriedly stopped his pace, called the old man and said: "The two children who came back with me, Mo Lao arranged for them to live in the Shen Mansion Courtyard, and they should not be treated badly, and in the next year, the safety of the two will be handed over to you, and no one can hurt them in the slightest." ”

Mo Lao nodded, although he didn't know why Shen Tie was so solemn to the two children, but since the lord said it, he could only do it unconditionally.

After Shen Tie left, Mo Lao came to the back of the team, said a few words, and led Shu Ye and the others to the Shen Mansion Courtyard.

The Shen Mansion is located at the end of the South Street of the Exquisite City, close to the location of the refining workshop, which is somewhat remote, but it is also quiet.

The courtyard where Shu Ye and the others live is located on the opposite street of Shen Mansion, which is an independent courtyard, a little old, but very wide, even if it is more than enough for ten people.

Mo Lao led Shu Ye and the two to push open the courtyard door, while visiting the layout of the courtyard, while introducing the origin of this courtyard, "This courtyard is the old mansion of the Shen family in the past, many years, and then because the lord became the refining envoy in the city, managing the refining workshop, for convenience, the current Shen Mansion was re-purchased, and then this courtyard was idle, no one lived in it for several years, and it became a Shen Mansion courtyard, I didn't expect the lord to let this courtyard to the two of them, and I didn't clean it in advance, and I hope the two don't mind." ”

Shu Ye and Shu Xueyi hurriedly said that they didn't mind, full of joy, and were very satisfied with this courtyard.

This place is more secluded than the Shen Mansion, although it has been idle for a few years, it is a little old and dilapidated, but the interior is spacious, and the courtyard is scattered, I don't know how many times stronger than their house in the Black Iron Tribe.

Mo Lao continued to take Shu Ye and the two around the courtyard, selected a room for the two, and then said: "You live here first, and I will arrange a few maids and subordinates to come over to clean later, and in the future, you can let the maids go to the Shen Mansion to get everything you need, the lord has ordered, during this year, everything the two request, the old slave will try his best to meet." ”

"Actually, you don't have to go through the hassle. Shu Xueyi was a little embarrassed, "Xiao Ye and I can ...... by ourselves"

Shu Ye patted her sister, interrupted her words, and thanked the old man with a smile: "Thank you Brother Shen and Mo Lao for your care, my sister and I will take care of Mo Lao in the future." ”

The old man smiled 'hey' in his heart, looked at Shu Ye, and his heart was full of appreciation: "This kid, at a young age, is exquisite, and it is really extraordinary." ”

He had previously slightly despised Shu Ye and the others, and he also had a slight complaint in his heart about the solemn arrangement given by the lord, but at this moment, when he came into contact with the essence of Shu Ye, he knew that this young man was neither humble nor arrogant, and his mind was quick, which was completely different from the slightly cold young men of other tribes, and he instantly went to the heart of contempt.

"The two of them will stay here first, and the old slave will go back first. Mo Lao turned his head and said goodbye, and when he went out, he told again, "If you have anything or need, you can come to the Shen Mansion to find me." ”

He disappeared from the courtyard for half an hour, and four or five maids came one after another, and began to clean the courtyard, and in the evening, when the cleaning was completed, three or four servants arrived again and brought clothes and food.

Shu Ye and Shu Xue were served by the maid, washed their bodies, changed their clothes, and after dinner, they sat in the courtyard with each other, looking at the bright moon under the calm night, feeling like they were in a dream.

"Xiao Ye, I'm not dreaming, right!" Shu Xueyi was full of excitement, stretched out her hand, and asked Shu Ye to pinch herself, "You pinch me, see if I hurt." ”

Shu Ye looked at her sister speechlessly, pinched her lightly, and said, "Sister, this is not a dream. ”

The pain spread from the palm of her hand to her whole body, Shu Xueyi knew that what Shu Ye said was the truth, thinking of everything she had experienced in the past half a month, it seemed to be like hell and heaven, and for a while, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Under the bright moonlight, she quietly supported her cheeks, her eyes were like ink, her skin was better than snow, and under the moist halo, her cheeks were clearly lined, soft and quiet, and the green silk hung down her shoulders, fluttering in the night breeze, leaching out a wisp of fragrance.

Shu Ye looked at Shu Xueyi's inadvertently revealing amazing beauty, and her heart was a little touched: "Actually, my sister was born very beautiful, but she was born in a difficult life before, coupled with long-term malnutrition, and her body was too thin, so she buried her. ”

"Hey, Xiaoye, what are you thinking?" Shu Xue came back to her senses, but saw her younger brother staring at her, as if she had lost her soul, and couldn't help but call, "It's late at night, it's time to sleep." ”

Shu Ye said 'um', stood up, walked towards his room, and when he was leaving, he suddenly turned around and said, "Sister, you are actually quite beautiful." ”

Shu Xueyi was stunned for a moment, I don't know why he suddenly popped out of this sentence without a head or a brain, and said "sleep" angrily, and left quickly with a little blush.
