Chapter 14: Drifting Snow City
It wasn't until dawn the next morning that everyone finally came to a city again, the scale of which was simply the difference between a luxury villa with a pool and a brick bungalow compared to Mocheng.
The city wall is more than 30 meters high, and it is surrounded by a moat, and the city gate has been lowered at this time, and it has just become a long bridge for soldiers and civilians to enter and exit the city.
In the center of the city gate are engraved three big characters - Drifting Snow City.
Wei Qingci's attention was attracted by the countless traces on the city wall.
The huge cyan stone walls, the swords and axes on them, and the traces left by various unknown weapons, all tell that this ancient city has experienced countless bloody battles of life and death.
Seeing this, Wei Qingci couldn't help but have a picture in his mind:
Countless enemies attacked the city, and the soldiers fought desperately to resist, the sound of fighting, wailing, the roar of desperate death, the heroic laughter after killing the enemy, blood and fire, all intertwined......
But what kind of weapon left these strange traces behind? …… Wei Qingci looked at the five conspicuous huge scratches on the city wall as he walked.
How to look at it, how it looks like a giant claw.
In the distance on the wall, there are also many strange traces, with strange shapes.
It should have all been made by Takefu...... Wei Qingci reluctantly found an explanation.
But he was still faintly uneasy in his heart, the memories of the original owner of the things in the capital were very clear, but the memories other than that were very vague.
As for the border side, because the original owner has never been here, and there is no impression at all, the information and intelligence are completely blank.
This thing is a bit abnormal, you don't need to study history when you read in another world?
Even if the original owner learns scum, he doesn't even understand the biggest enemy of the motherland? I don't have any information about Nanban in my memory...... The more Wei Qingci thought about it, the more wrong it became.
He had wanted to ask the machine spirit for the reason, but since she had spoken a few words outside of Mocheng before, she had become unresponsive again.
But damn it, no matter how much blood is fed along the way, this broken mirror will not be mistaken!
The benefits of 'Reiki Horse Killing Chickens' are also gone, and Lao Tzu still has a lot of blood upside down.
This is completely a fraud, and when I brush up the 'little rocket' in the future, I have to guard against this spiritual old man...... Wei Qingci was seriously vigilant about the credibility of the machine spirit, and at this time he silently walked at the back and followed everyone to the city gate.
There were quite a few pedestrians coming and going on the bridge, most of them just glancing at the prisoners with disdain, and then they should continue to do what they should do, obviously like this situation, they had seen it many times before, and they were used to it.
After crossing the bridge, several soldiers guarding the city gate greeted enthusiastically: "Lord Du, you brought back a lot of goods this time, how is the quality?" ”
Describing people as goods, the prisoners were sad and angry, but when they came here, life and death were no longer in their control, and they were indeed no different from goods.
The truth is often more hurtful......
Compared with their condescending attitude towards Wei Qingci along the way, Du Yuheng's tone softened a little this time:
"It's not clear whether it's a mule or a horse, but I won't know until I've walked it, and I'm going to go to the city first."
The soldiers defending the city gave the prisoners a playful look and began to let them go.
After entering the city, everyone who came here for the first time was stunned.
The shouts of all kinds of vendors, the dazzling variety of goods, the women shopping, the children frolicking and chasing, and the young men and women shopping, it was very lively.
But the crowd strangely gathered in the south, and there was not a single pedestrian on the street in the north, and there was a faint roar from the depths.
It was as if there was an invisible thread in the middle, splitting the city in half.
The only place that proves that it is the same city is that there are many willow trees planted on both sides.
"Keep up." Du Yuheng didn't bother to explain to everyone at all, and just gave a faint order.
Soon after, a group of people from the north side of the city greeted them.
"Du boy, how many people did you bring back this time?"
The man who spoke was a man in his forties, with a pair of tiger eyes and a bright eye, with a thick short beard like steel needles on his face, wearing a thin linen-colored coat, with his chest open, his muscles were tangled, covered with deep and shallow scars, and there was a fierce aura all over his body.
However, Wei Qingci roughly made a visual inspection, this burly but not tall man, the highest... Up to 1.6 meters......
Du Yuheng was very respectful to this man, and hurriedly dismounted and knelt down on one knee and said: "Lord Niu, I heard from the officials in charge of escorting that a few prisoners escaped and died on the way, and the rest are all here." ”
"Damn, it must be these dog officials who are having fun and killing people, and it's this bird virtue every time." The man surnamed Niu spat and scolded viciously.
Li Mu and the other officials had ugly faces, and finally experienced the mood of the prisoners on the way:
Dare not speak out...... The aggrieved are to die.
The man surnamed Niu looked at the group of prisoners, and looked back and forth a few times unhappily: "Bean sprouts, come here." ”
“……”
"It's the kid who wears tatters and looks like a."
Wei Qingci looked around, and finally stretched out his hand and pointed at his nose uncertainly...... Everyone's prison uniforms are in tatters, but they look like mothers, and they definitely don't call me!
"Dumbfounded." The man glared at the tiger and said impatiently: "It's you kid, what's your name?" What's going on with the injuries on your body? ”
But he sighed in his heart...... It looks like the old martial king, even the tiger father and the dog are not counted, what a hero the old martial king is, he actually gave birth to such a beast that is not as good as a pig and a dog, alas, it is really unfortunate for the family......
Du Yuheng glanced at Wei Qingci with an unkind look, and secretly warned him that it was best not to talk nonsense.
After being beaten, he naturally had to be beaten back with his own hands to be happy, and the obvious identity of the surname Du was not low, even if he was punished, it was estimated that he would only be scolded a few words without pain...... Wei Qingci hurriedly took a few steps forward and knelt down respectfully on his legs:
"Cheap slave Wei Qingci, this injury was accidentally dropped while walking."
Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect him to tell such an obvious lie.
If you fall, can you break out a whip mark?
You open your eyes and talk nonsense, but it's a fucking talent.
But they immediately reacted, thinking that Wei Qingci wanted to sell Du Yuheng a good one, and hoped that Du Yuheng would not give him small shoes to wear in the future, and everyone felt disdain and contempt for him at the same time.
A trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the man surnamed Niu, and he went straight to the point and said the purpose of his coming this time:
"There is a big man in the capital who has released a message that he wants you to die here at the border."
Du Yuheng's face changed slightly, and he happened to be seen by Wei Qingci, who had been secretly paying attention to him.
Wei Qingci sighed in his heart, I see, there is still such a thing......
, the bearded man said he was going to kill me!
Hell, could that brute also get an order from 'someone'? not only avenged the broken leg of the original owner, but also got the benefit of hugging the thigh of the big man by the way?
[Heh, now do you dare to say that the bearded man doesn't dare to kill you? Do you dare to question that this palace saved your life again? The cold voice of the machine spirit is elusive.
The bearded man looked fierce and reckless, and his brain was not good, but he turned out to be an old coward, he wanted to kill two birds with one stone, both revenge and benefit, and kill me, the big man will definitely protect him, I walked around the ghost gate like a second fool...... Wei Qingci never believed that the bearded man had the courage to kill himself, but at this time, he reacted with hindsight, and a feeling of fear rose in his heart.
Guessed:
"Sister Goblin, the original owner has fallen to this point, maybe he was also calculated, this unlucky child....no, I, the unlucky ghost who helped him carry the black pot, is it dangerous?! You'll have to protect me, my master. ”
[Be obedient, this palace will cover you.] The tone of the machine spirit was full of confidence.
[Also, even if that bearded man kills you, the biggest possibility is that he will be killed by that 'big man', and both of you are not good at using your brains. 】
[In the future, when no one is around, I will look for this palace and talk to you, a stupid goose, and this palace will be cheap. 】
After saying that, she didn't hear any more and went into 'Do Not Disturb' mode.
Wei Qingci: "......"
He inexplicably had a feeling that this machine spirit was like a female hooligan in mixed society......
