Dragon scales
When Ye Wuque and the officers and soldiers stepped back into the maze-like forest and came back to the stream. The warrior was particularly kind and said that he could take a rest. The officers and soldiers all understood that they could rest because there was one Ye Wuque in the team this time. The officers and soldiers immediately rested. One of the officers and soldiers came to get close to Ye Wuque and said, "Hey, brother, you want to become a noble person. Follow the adults to enjoy their happiness. Don't forget those of us from our hometown when we become a high-ranking official in the future.
Ye Wuque looked up and saw that he was the officer and soldier who was the most shouting at Ye Wuque. Ye Wuque ignored him, and soon he walked away with boredom.
Ye Wuque squatted by the stream and looked at the stream that did not know the starting point or the end point. The clear stream could still reflect Ye Wuque's face. Ye Wuque looked at the strange face and fantasized about the flow of Ye Wuque's life? - Imperial City.
Taohua Village, where Ye Wuque has lived for ten years, is a strange village. In Ye Wuque's impression, Taohua Village is located very remote from the town, and even far away from other villages. Even the road to the nearest Liangcheng is a day and a half. What's even more strange is that the geographical location of the village is not good, there are no crop fields, and it is surrounded by mountains.
The whole village looks like a piece of food surrounded by mountains, lonely and helpless.
In addition to catering to the withdrawnness of some people, Taohua Village is really not like a normal village. Given Ye Wuque's feeling, Taohua Village is like...it is like it was specially prepared for some people who escape from society. Moreover, during the years of living in Taohua Village, the villagers that Ye Wuque has seen have increasingly proved Ye Wuque's conjecture.
One or two people leave every year in Taohua Village, and one or two new villagers move in every year. It’s like a promise. Every person who just entered the village reveals a mysterious foreign aura. If you stay in the village for only three months, you will become a native villager. Ye Wuque always feels that everyone around Ye Wuque is disguising his identity, and his real self can only be seen in dreams.
According to Lao Li, Ye Wuque was born in Taohua Village, and he was not Ye Wuque's father. Unfortunately, Ye Wuque's parents were once part of the people who left Taohua Village every year. They left, leaving Ye Wuque. Lao Li was entrusted by Ye Wuque's parents to raise Ye Wuque.
Ye Wuque had no objection to this. Ye Wuque did not know what kind of person Ye Wuque's parents were, but Ye Wuque believed that they would not make Ye Wuque live so comfortable like Lao Li. Since Ye Wuque's governor, Lao Li has never blamed Ye Wuque, let alone be beaten every day like other families. Lao Li only showed some blame-like eyes. In addition, Lao Li also protected Ye Wuque better than other children. He was always nervous about Ye Wuque's safety, and he also paid more attention to Ye Wuque's seemingly dangerous. More powerful
Yes, Lao Li seemed to care about Ye Wuque's thoughts. For example, if Ye Wuque wanted to eat venison today, he would risk going into the dense forest to hunt. Lao Li's hunting level was very high and never disappointed Ye Wuque. However, if Ye Wuque ate Erdao noodles, it proved that Ye Wuque seemed to have done something wrong. The Erdao noodles were Lao Li's punishment, but as for what Ye Wuque did wrong, Lao Li would not tell Ye Wuque. Lao Li said since childhood that Ye Wuque was smarter than other children and had ideas. Just let Ye Wuque live according to his own ideas.
There is nothing more comfortable than this, without any restraint, and follow your own ideas to live.
In fact, since Ye Wuque was governed, Ye Wuque understood one thing. Sooner or later, Ye Wuque would leave the village like Ye Wuque's parents. But Ye Wuque did not expect that the day would come so quickly. And there was something beyond Ye Wuque's expectations. Ye Wuque originally wanted to take Lingling with him, but Ye Wuque left alone. But it didn't matter, Ye Wuque would go back to pick her up.
The warrior took Ye Wuque in a strange direction, and Ye Wuque felt a little strange. In Ye Wuque's impression, Ye Wuque had been to Liangcheng three times, the most recent time was half a year ago. Liangcheng was the only place in the village that had connections with the outside world, and the villagers needed everything they needed to go to Liangcheng. This made Ye Wuque feel that even if they left Taohua Village, the first place they should go to should be Liangcheng, and then from Liangcheng to the imperial city. And now the direction they are heading is obviously not Liangcheng.
After walking for a long time, Ye Wuque couldn't help asking: "Aren't we going to Liangcheng now?"
The officers and soldiers turned over and asked Ye Wuque: "What are you doing when you go to Liangcheng?"
Ye Wuque said: "Shouldn't we go to Liangcheng first and then to the imperial city?"
The officer and soldier smiled and said, "You have been in that broken village for too long and don't know anything outside. You don't need to go to Liangcheng to go to the imperial city, you can go near here." After he said that, he pointed at a very distant direction in front.
Officer and soldier B: "The imperial city is not as good as the Liangcheng. The imperial city is a first-class big city. It is far away from our poor and bad waters. Your Taohua Village is actually almost on the periphery of Liangcheng. We can only send this adult and you out of the boundary of the jurisdiction of Liangcheng. It's that mountain."
Ye Wuque looked along and looked at the largest mountain beside him, and felt inexplicably disappointed.
Several people continued to walk forward and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain. Several officers and soldiers seemed to be worried.
Finally, the officer and soldier asked, "Sir, we have completed our mission and have been running with you for four days. We did not tell anyone in the county about this matter as you told me. Do you think it should be...
The warrior suddenly smiled mysteriously: "That's right, right, thank you so much for a few days. After I return to the imperial city, I will report the names of the three people. The enthronement order should be issued in three days.
The three of them nodded and bowed very excitedly. Ye Wuque looked at the warrior smiling there, but his heart was furious, and he always felt something was wrong.
The warrior continued: "It's really hard for you to follow me in the past two days. In addition to the enthronement, I also have some private rewards to give to me. As he said, he was wearing something golden in his arms. In the dim evening, the things in his arms looked dazzling and seductive.
The three officers and soldiers were even more happy when they heard this. The warrior waved to them and brought them closer. The three of them really walked towards him as if they were confused by something.
Ye Wuque saw that the eyes of the three officers and soldiers were filled with greed desire. Ye Wuque saw their death and saw the trap called desire.
The warrior took out a shiny cold knife from his bag and drew a beautiful arc in the air. Without any reaction, a bloody mouth appeared on his neck, leaving blood in his throat. The three officers and soldiers looked at the warrior in horror and covered their necks with their hands.
But they did not die immediately. They glanced at the knife in the warrior's hand. There was a round icon on the knife handle, with a hideous dragon head engraved inside the icon. The officers and soldiers all seemed to see a demon, covering their bloody necks with their hands, calling for help, while watching the road when they came.
Ye Wuque took all this and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Ye Wuque looked at the hideous dragon head on the knife and inexplicably fell into an unknown thought. Ye Wuque felt that he was not afraid, but his hands trembled unconsciously.
The warrior put the knife in his arms. He turned around and looked at Ye Wuque and walked straight forward. Ye Wuque stood there a little at a loss. The warrior suddenly stopped and said in a very calm tone: "Are you leaving yet?"
Ye Wuque looked back at the three officers and soldiers who were running away, turned around and slowly followed the warrior.
Ye Wuque and he faced the mountains on the border of Liangcheng alone, and slowly walked towards the legendary imperial city in the drowsy dusk. Ye Wuque asked, "They are still alive, can I still hear their call for help. Are you not worried about anything? After asking, Ye Wuque quietly looked at the warrior's face.
The warrior had no expression on his face, as if nothing had happened. He took out the silver knife with the dragon head sign from his arms and said, "No living person has seen this knife except the emperor and the 'dragon scales'."
Ye Wuque was stunned, something seemed to flash in his mind.
The warrior suddenly lowered his head and looked at Ye Wuque with great fun, and said lightly: "So... from the moment you see this knife, there is only one way left under your feet. That is - to become a dragon scale."
Ye Wuque said: "Can I ask what the dragon scale is?"
The warrior smiled confidently and said, "A secret guard composed of seven people, but can defeat the army of thousands. It is directly under the emperor."
"By the way, what's your name?" the warrior asked suddenly.
Ye Wuque said: "My name is Ye Wuque. I am ten years old this year."
As it got late, several people finally walked out of the boundary of Liangcheng. Several people walked along a horse-drawn carriageway in the wild and soon saw an inn in front of them.
The warrior said it was too late today, so he would rest here and go on a journey tomorrow.
The group walked to the inn. The inn was pitch black and there was no light, and no one came out to greet him. Several people stood in front of the store for a long time, and a cool breeze blew past. The warrior stood seriously, frowned slightly. Ye Wuque saw something strange and asked, "Why don't you go in?"
The warrior said: "There are no living people here."
Ye Wuque's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the inn in front of him. A rocker with the word "guest" swaying in the wind. The open door was filled with a gloomy darkness.
Just when Ye Wuque was at a loss, the warrior raised his foot and walked into the inn. Ye Wuque followed closely behind him. Several people completely integrated into the darkness in the inn. Ye Wuque's vision was greatly restricted here, and the warrior seemed to be very familiar with the place. He walked to a place to take out the fire slip and lit the oil lamp in front of him.
The light around him became bright, and Ye Wuque was still uneasy and kept thinking about the warrior's words: "There are no living people here."
This sentence is actually very strange. If the inn was abandoned by the boss, then there would be no one here. Why is there no living person? There is only one reason why he said this, that is, the people in this store were already dead, and they died passively. How did the warrior discover it? He was obviously the same as Ye Wuque, but he was just standing outside the inn.
Ye Wuque looked at the warrior who was busy in the lobby and felt that he had too many secrets on him. He seemed to be even more mysterious than what Ye Wuque had seen before. Ye Wuque suddenly remembered the short sword with the silver dragon head logo on the side of the warrior.
Dragon Scale, is he one of the seven organizations that belong to the emperor?
