Chapter 1127: You Can Conquer the World with Three Players (Part 1) [Seeking Monthly Votes]
It's a holiday, but I'm not idle.
It's a rare opportunity to personally contact the Southeast Continent, so I naturally have to seize the opportunity to understand the situation here. Only by knowing myself and the enemy can we win every battle. With this feeling, Shen Tang felt that the invisible burden on her shoulders suddenly disappeared, and she felt relaxed for a long time.
Shen Tang was in a good mood, and everything was easy to say.
With a wave of his hand, he released the prisoners.
"While the household registration is still messy, find a way to live again. It's better to hide your identity than to lose your life." Shen Tang had just arrived, and it was not easy to keep this group of unknown prisoners around. How would they survive after leaving her?
That was not her responsibility.
Let everyone go, except the young man.
From the young man's conversation, this person can read and write, and should be able to be a guide for her. She didn't want to waste three days getting lost. I wanted to leave the little girl and her grandmother behind, after all, this pair of grandparents and grandchildren was special among the prisoners. The old and the young could only rely on each other, and it was not easy to make a living in this world. Her kindness was still rejected by the old woman, and they could stay with their relatives.
The relatives were not far from here.
Shen Tang nodded and said, "In that case, take care of yourself."
The young man watched other prisoners take a day's dry food from Shen Tang, thanked him profusely and ran away, while he had to stay and face this lonely ghost from the north. His face was four or five shades darker, but he had to force himself to deal with Shen Tang.
How could Shen Tang not know his thoughts?
She just liked to see the expressions of others who couldn't beat her but had to endure. It was so cool. No wonder the gangsters liked to bully men and women! Qi Yuanliang, the Tang Monk, was not there, and there were no acquaintances who knew her nearby, so she could release her nature to her heart's content. Swinging on vines, turning over rocks, and shuttling through the woods, she would stop from time to time to urge the young man to catch up, with a wanton laugh on her face.
In the jungle, you can hear tunes that have changed from time to time.
The tune of this song is weird, and the content is even weirder.
"Be a ghost~"
"Be a cool ghost~"
"Eat and drink for free~"
"You can also beat them~"
"Be a ghost~"
"Be a sober ghost~"
The young man resisted the urge to run away and forced himself to follow like a zombie. If it were a few years ago, he would not want to get close to such evil spirits even if he died. The other party was really a mountain ghost, shuttling, climbing, and jumping in the woods, just like a monkey possessed.
Could this mountain ghost be a northern monkey spirit?
The young man was lost in thought, and suddenly a black shadow fell in front of him, and there was a strange buzzing sound in the air, like the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air. He stepped back in fear, and Shen Tang, who was hooked on the tree trunk with her legs, moved her waist and abdomen slightly, and turned down nimbly. The young man then noticed that she was holding a delicate feather arrow in her right hand. He was scared. His vigilance dropped so seriously? He didn't even notice the cold arrow so close? The young man asked tentatively, "Could it be pursuers?"
Shen Tang looked down at the inscription on the tail of the feather arrow.
The font was immature, and it was vaguely visible that it was the word "翟".
According to the young man's introduction, the surname Zhai was not a big surname in the southeastern continent. Most of them lived in the southern coastal area, with a population of only a few hundred thousand. This surname was rare in the territory of the extinct Sun Kingdom! When Sun Kingdom was destroyed by Qu Kingdom, if you met a person with the surname Zhai in the territory, it was most likely from Qu Kingdom. Qu Kingdom, the surname Zhai, these two keywords reminded Shen Tang of an old friend many years ago.
"It shouldn't be pursuers."
Shen Tang put away the feather arrow.
He looked in the direction where the feather arrow came from, waiting for something.
"Ah, I shot the wrong arrow——"
A childish voice came from a distance. The young man looked in the direction of the voice and saw more than 20 soldiers in armor and sharp weapons following a girl in her early teens. The girl was wearing a red round-necked robe with arrow sleeves, a few tail feathers on her waist, a tiger-patterned animal skin on her shoulders, a bow in her left hand, and a beautiful quiver inlaid with gold and jade. The arrows in the quiver were the same as the ones Shen Tang had intercepted, and it was obvious that this arrow came from the red-robed girl.
The girl's face tightened when she saw the arrow in Shen Tang's hand.
"Did you two see the prey passing by?"
The soldiers didn't seem to react, but they were actually on guard. Shen Tang had no doubt that if she made a misleading move at this moment, these soldiers would attack her vital points.
Shen Tang: "There is no prey."
Glancing at the young man: "There are only two of us here."
Realizing that she almost hurt a living person, the girl clasped her fists to apologize, opened her amorous and moist peach blossom eyes, and said crisply: "...I'm sorry, it's my poor archery skills that disturbed you two. Just now I heard the sound of strange monkeys in the forest from a distance, and mistakenly thought I found the man-eating monkeys that disturbed the village at the foot of the mountain. Were you two frightened? If you don't mind, this little gift is just an apology."
Shen Tang: "..."
Young man: "..."
It would have been fine if the girl didn't say anything, but after she explained this, the young man burst out laughing, and Shen Tang's face turned black as ash at the bottom of the pot, and he smiled reluctantly: "What strange monkey sound?"
The girl recalled carefully: "What the hell..."
Shen Tang: "..."
The young man, who had finally held back his laughter, broke his trick again.
"Puchi——"
Shen Tang threw a glare at him, and said angrily: "If you puchi again, I'll cut off your tongue and feed it to the monkeys as a snack!"
The girl was confused at first, and was stunned for a while before she realized that she had mistaken the sound of people singing for the weird cry of monkeys. This made her feel embarrassed and uncomfortable.
She gritted her teeth and apologized awkwardly.
Shen Tang waved his hand and placed the feather arrow on the ground.
He said goodbye and left: "It's just a misunderstanding, no problem."
Shen Tang didn't want to have too much interaction with these people, but being interrupted like this, she lost interest in letting herself go and concentrated on going down the mountain. When he was halfway up the mountain, the young man suddenly said: "That lady just now, do you know her true identity?"
"I don't know, I'm not interested."
On the contrary, the girl's eyes have the look of an old friend.
Shen Tang was not interested, but the young man was eager to share: "The followers around her are all brave warriors. A few of them have a lingering aura, and the last one is a fourth-class one. Ordinary gentry children go into the mountains to hunt. , How can you afford this kind of ostentation? Not even a descendant of the Sun Kingdom’s clan... this lady..."
"What's up with her?"
The young man changed the subject and talked about something else.
"I heard that there are women who can practice in the Qu Kingdom! Although it is limited to one country and the number is rare, the aura of that female monarch is pure and clear, and her brilliance is restrained. She is obviously a warrior."
People in Sun State had only vaguely heard of the fact that there were women in Qu State who could practice cultivation, and most of the aristocratic families didn't care. Even if it is true, you won’t believe it unless you see it with your own eyes. Until Qu Guo entered the country in large numbers, the rumors were confirmed to be true.
Qu State not only has women who are capable of cultivating, but after hearing that the leader of Qu State had ascended the throne not long ago, he overcame the pressure and appointed the next daughter to be the queen's concubine! This princess was not just for fun, she was not only given a status, but also real power. She was given a serious eight hundred yuan to open a palace and set up a palace for the princess! The feather arrows used by this female monarch are engraved with "Zhai", she can practice, and she is protected by heavy soldiers when she comes in and out. Even if she is not a noble daughter of Quguo's clan, she must be another woman from a family with the surname of Zhai...
Or——
This female monarch is the princess.
When the young man expressed his speculation, Shen Tang, who was walking in front of him, had a sudden look on his face: "The appearance of an old friend, the son of an old friend."
When she saw those peach blossom eyes, she thought of her friend from many years ago. It was a lie to say that he didn’t want to look at the other person, but when he thought about how rarely he could sing loudly and show off his singing voice, not only was he not praised, but he was also slandered by the son of an old friend and said it was a “monkey cry.”
Tell me, can she still go to see Zhai Xiaofang?
It’s better to bury this kind of dark history first.
The young man heard her words clearly and his pupils suddenly shrank.
"What a coincidence."
The young man suddenly heard what Shen Tang said.
Just as he was wondering what she meant by coincidence, he saw Shen Tang transforming into a gust of wind and raising his hand to slap the wild boar who was trying to ambush and attack the two of them and roll on the spot. The young man thought she was going to eat the wild boar, but he didn't expect the other party to put his legs on the pig's back and sit firmly on it.
As a wild beast, the wild boar has an extremely keen sense of breath, and can clearly detect the terrifying breath on Shen Tang's body. Faced with this aura intimidation, it chose to be docile and obedient. Shen Tang got himself a temporary transportation vehicle without any effort.
youth:"……"
The wild boar had a strong smell, so he silently distanced himself.
Although the mountains are not very undulating, they are connected to each other and winding around. If you don't have a good sense of direction, it is easy to get lost in the mountains and unable to get out. Flags were flying at the foot of the mountain, and someone was setting up camp here.
There are not many camps in the village.
A large flag decorated with various bells is erected in the center.
The flag is embroidered with the conspicuous word "Zhai".
Near the foot of the mountain, the road is divided into two. One leads to the camp. The road is smooth and wide. The weeds and gravel on both sides have been carefully treated. The other is relatively narrow and the road condition is not easy to walk. Shen Tang felt his scalp was numb and was about to choose the second option.
The young man said: "Don't choose that one."
The tents at the foot of the mountain were set up to see what was going on here.
A quick look at the second road showed that no one had been there recently. They came from the mountain. Going that way deliberately would arouse suspicion.
Shen Tang: "..."
Of course she knows!
Now I can only pray that Zhai Xiaofang is not here anymore.
God obviously didn't want her to get her wish, and he was afraid of giving her exactly what she wanted - dozens of warriors in hunting attire riding tall horses, trying to hunt in the mountains. The facial features of the leading man in fine clothing have changed a lot from his memory. His lines are tougher, but his eyes remain unchanged. Those passionate peach blossom eyes have weakened his iron-blooded aura by three points and lost a few points. The air of indifference.
Both sides met each other.
Shen Tang took the initiative to step aside and let them pass first.
"What's so stinky?" Although warriors stank of sweat all year round, their odor is still small compared to wild boars.
Shen Tang: "..."
When the well-dressed man heard someone complaining, he noticed the source of the smell - two common people leaning against the mountain wall, a young man in his early twenties, and a thin girl with a sallow complexion.
A ferocious-looking wild boar was riding on the girl's crotch.
The smell comes from the wild boar.
As if aware of his gaze, the girl riding the pig also looked over, but her eyes changed for a moment. The man in the costume only thought that ordinary people were afraid of him. He scolded the personal guard who just said something bad: "Don't be rude, go into the mountain first. It's too late, and all the decent wild animals are gone."
Half an hour later.
When he found the girl in red robe who had entered the mountain first and learned from her that she had hunted a wild boar with her own hands, he looked stunned. The girl was dissatisfied that he was distracted: "...Why is father so obsessed with his thoughts?"
The well-dressed man came back to his senses, raised his lips and smiled slightly: "My father just thought that when I just went up the mountain, I saw someone riding a pig."
The girl in red robe was surprised: "Riding a pig?"
I have seen people riding horses, donkeys and mules, but I have never seen people riding pigs.
"This thing stinks so much, can you still ride it?"
The well-dressed man smiled again without knowing what he thought of.
"Of course he can."
The red-robed girl was surprised.
Ever since she could remember, her father didn't like to laugh much, and when he was angry, he would kill people, many people. But her mother told her that when her father was a teenager, he was not like this. He not only loved to laugh, but was also very talkative. As for whether he liked to kill people, her mother didn't know. The red-robed girl was very curious about why this happened, but her mother avoided the question.
Asked her father himself, he didn't answer.
Helpless, she could only ask the tutor.
Yu Taifu said: [Because his brother died. ]
[Father's brother? Isn't that Wang Bo? ]
He was also the former king of Qu State.
The red-robed girl had only heard of him from her grandfather.
Yu Taifu: [In addition to this reason, he is old. When he was a teenager, he was talkative and laughed, which was called youthful chivalry and high-spirited. At this age, he is just a jerk. ]
Why is he smiling foolishly?
The red-robed girl: [……]
Based on past experience, the red-robed girl felt strange.
"Is it funny to watch people ride pigs?"
"It's more interesting when I remember that I rode one when I was young."
The man in tight clothes recalled that it was many, many years ago, and the time was so long that he could only vaguely remember it now. At that time, he was not the king, and his brother was still alive.
"Have you ridden it before? Is it more fun than riding a horse?"
"Not fun, but it's fun with friends."
The red-robed girl whispered: "With uncle?"
The man in tight clothes said: "No, it's a friend."
The red-robed girl couldn't figure out who would like to ride an ugly and dirty pig. It's really weird. Speaking of weird people, the red-robed girl also told the man in tight clothes about the weird person she met not long ago: "...The singing was really bad, so my daughter misunderstood."
"Did you miss the target?"
He was the one who supervised his daughter's martial arts training.
She knew her archery skills best. Not to mention such a small distance, she could hit the target even across a mountain.
"It should have hit, but it was caught." The red-robed girl's face lost its innocent and playful look, and she showed a calm demeanor that she shouldn't have at her age. "He was able to catch it so easily without even a red mark on his palm. His strength is unfathomable."
The red-robed girl didn't doubt the skinny and sallow girl.
She suspected that the young man was hiding his true strength.
"My daughter was worried that they were the remnants of the Sun Kingdom, so she said that she was not good at archery and mistook the strange singing for the cry of man-eating apes and tricked them away." If I was caught by the other party alone, I would be doomed. "They are still fugitives."

Today, I passed by a temporary store in the mall and bought a bag of candy without knowing the world...
When I checked out, my heart died.
PS: There is a bug in this chapter, which has been corrected_(:з」∠)_Zhai Le has two daughters. The one with the bones is the younger daughter. I remembered it wrong.
