There is always a man who wants to marry him
Chapter 16 Nangu Village outside the Valley of the Kings
After more than half a month of ups and downs, Fei Qi finally saw the legendary Wang Zhigu.
Although it is called a valley, it is not actually a valley. It is only because the center is surrounded by mountains that it is named a valley.Looking from a distance, the two mountains are like two arms stretched out by giants, enclosing a large plain in their arms.It's just that these two mountains are not symmetrical, one is short and short, the other is tall and long, one in front of the other, forming a canyon-like entrance, which is also a natural checkpoint.
Before approaching the Valley of Kings, Fei Qi was attracted by the fields and villages on both sides of the road.
Most of the humans on the Anan Continent lived on hunting, and there were very few clans who were willing to plant and knew how to plant. Some clans even regarded planting as a sign of cowardice and incompetence.But on the outskirts of the Valley of the Kings, large and small field ridges can be seen everywhere, and there are houses near each field ridge, most of which are built with wood and thatch, and only a few of them are built with bricks and stones.
Some men and women are plowing the fields, and occasionally a few children can be seen helping and playing.
These people can be seen at a glance as ordinary people without the talent of the awakened clan, but what makes Fei Qi puzzled is that some of them can clearly see the brand of slaves on their bodies, but their dress and demeanor do not look like slaves at all.
Fei Qi wanted to ask, but when he set off today, Tie Mian did not let him continue to sit on the same horse as him, but drove him back to the blue sheep, so that he couldn't find anything if he wanted to ask at this moment people.
But even if there is no one to ask, such doubts will soon be answered.
Just before the Valley of the Kings was still some distance away, the convoy stopped, and Luosang rode to the carriages of Yingdong and Quicksand, knocked on the door, and asked if they wanted to bring the slaves into the Valley of the Kings.
Yingdong and Liusha immediately looked confused, and Adele, who had been following the carriage, was also very puzzled, and asked if there were any special rules here.
Lausanne had no choice but to explain to them that the Valley of the Kings was forbidden to slaves. Anyone, no matter what his status was before, as long as he enters the Valley of the Kings, he is a free citizen. Even if he is guilty of a serious crime, he must be sentenced as a free citizen.This is the rule established at the beginning of the Valley of the Kings, and even the five major clans must abide by it.It's just that there is a way to deal with any rule. Regarding the rule of banning slaves, the major clans responded by not bringing slaves into the Valley of Kings.
After hearing Luosang's words, Yingdong and Liusha looked at each other, feeling at a loss for a while.
On this trip, Meixie brought them three male slaves and three female slaves, of which two men and two women belonged to Yingdong, and one man and one woman belonged to Quicksand.But when encountering the wolves, the male slave who belonged to Quicksand was unfortunately killed, and now there are only five left.
After hesitating for a while, Yingdong raised his head and asked Luosang, "If I don't take them in, where will they be sent?"
"There is a village outside the Valley of the Kings, and they will live there temporarily with us." Luosang replied, and then added, "Not everyone can enter the Valley of the Kings, and most of us have to stay outside for a while. Live in that village."
After speaking, Lausanne turned around and asked Adele to choose two guards who would follow Yingdong and Quicksand into the Valley of Kings.
Hearing this, Fei Qi immediately looked at Tie Mian, and after meeting his eyes, he asked him consciously: "What should I do, I also live in the village?"
"You also stay outside first." Tie Mian also replied with his mind, "Remember, don't talk too much, don't cause trouble."
For more than ten days, under the guidance of Tie Mian, Fei Qi has become accustomed to communicating with Tie Mian with consciousness.Tie Mian told him that such communication of consciousness and the spells he mastered are all ways of using spiritual power, and the so-called spiritual power is what he thought to be attention, consciousness, and ideas.
Fei Qi wanted to ask more, but Tie Mian said that his knowledge in this area was also very limited.Before meeting the female relative, his understanding of spiritual power was limited to theory and guesswork. After meeting the female relative, he really started to practice it.
Fei Qi felt that Tie Mian was not telling the truth, at least he had reservations, but he himself did not confess everything to Tie Mian, and Tie Mian never forced him to ask anything, which made him embarrassed to ask him endlessly, but I can quietly do some tests on my own to find more uses for my mental power.
After testing, Fei Qi found that the only person in the convoy who could communicate with him with spiritual power was the iron face.As for the others, even if he poured his mental power into them, they would feel a little bit strange at most, and they didn't even know the reason for this strange feeling, let alone communicate with him in reverse.
Fei Qi did not hide this matter, first confessed his test results, and then asked Tie Mian for the reason.
"It's probably a matter of bloodlines. We have a different source of power from them." Tie Mian's answer was somewhat vague.
"Are we... related by blood?" Fei Qi suddenly had other associations, superimposing the iron mask in front of her eyes with the foreign monarch that had appeared in her dream.
But their images did not match. The man's hair was two-colored, white in the front and black in the back, and very long, while the iron mask in front of him had the most common brown hair on the Anan Continent, cut very short.The man's eyes were also pitch black, but Iron Mask's were blue-gray.Hair color may be faked, but eyes are hard to change.
"All human beings are related by blood." Tie Mian did not give a clear answer, "Of course, if you insist on calling me brother, I don't mind."
This kind of answer really can't satisfy Fei Qi, but if he is determined not to tell him the truth, he can't help it.
The most depressing thing for Fei Qi is that since meeting Tie Mian, he has never had a dream, and sleeps very soundly every night.
In the end, Yingdong did not give the slaves freedom and let the slaves stay outside the Valley of Kings with Adele and the others.
Adele also selected two other guards to accompany Yingdong and Quicksand into the Valley of Kings, and she stayed with most of the convoy to prevent accidents.
After both Yingdong and Adele made their choices, the team moved again.
Soon, the Valley of the Kings was within sight.
Before the convoy approached, a man wearing exquisite armor and riding a strong horse led a small group of riders galloping out of the valley passage and stopped in front of the convoy.
The iron face drove the horse to the front, took out a bronze medal slightly smaller than a slap, and threw it to the man opposite.
"Are you from Sandra's Iron Mask?" The man caught the bronze medal and asked the Iron Mask.
"You can say that." Tie Mian's tone was as unpleasant as ever.
The man also showed obvious displeasure on his face, apparently annoyed by Tie Mian's attitude, but he didn't make things difficult for Tie Mian, he just kept a straight face and said coldly: "Take the person you want to take and follow me into the valley." , and others go to Nangu Village."
Tie Mian didn't say much, he gestured to Lausanne, and then took his two men, two of Adele's men, and three Kodo vehicles, and followed the man and his team into the valley .
After watching them enter the valley, Luosang waved his hand and led the convoy west along a forked road.
Not long after, a village of considerable size appeared in front of everyone.
Lausanne took the convoy directly to the village and stopped in front of a two-story house.
Seeing the convoy parked here, a teenager who was sitting on the steps of the door basking in the sun immediately stood up, walked towards the convoy, and shouted into the house, "Boss, we have guests!"
Following the boy's shout, a middle-aged man rushed out of the house with a strong woman.Seeing the size and number of people in the convoy, the man's eyes lit up immediately, and then he quickly and accurately identified the leader of the convoy - Lausanne, and asked him how many rooms he needed, what specifications, and what price.
Luosang seemed to be used to this kind of communication. While telling the man what he needed, he asked everyone to get off their mounts and pack their bags.
After setting up the room, Luosang assigned three subordinates and two male slaves. Under the guidance of the young man, he led a group of horses to the barn behind the house, while he led the rest into the house.
The first one to be assigned to the room was Fei Qi.Lausanne directly gave him the room with the best light and the most complete furniture, and only after "inviting" him into the room did he start arranging other people.
Fei Qi still remembered Tie Mian's advice, and obediently entered the room and closed the door, so that Luosang could rest assured to arrange other things.
This room is not too big, much smaller than Fei Qi's room on Bailang Island, but the structure and furniture style of the room make Fei Qi feel very novel, and it is obviously more practical. The value is next to nothing.
After looking at the room for a while, Fei Qi opened the window to enjoy the scenery outside.
It seems that there are not many residents in this village, and there are not many people to be found when looking around, but there are several houses that are very similar to the one they live in, probably for business groups or visitors.The remaining buildings also have an obvious commercial style, much like various shops selling things.
Reminiscent of the ordinary dwellings that he saw on the road built between the ridges of the fields, Fei Qi couldn't help guessing that this village might have been built especially for outsiders like them to settle down and spend money.
When it was getting dark, Luosang personally delivered dinner for Fei Qi, and told him by the way that Tie Mian probably wouldn't be back tonight, so that he didn't have to wait or worry.
"Will it be dangerous?" Fei Qi couldn't help asking.
"Probably... no!" Luosang hesitated, "Wang Zhigu's reputation is still very good."
"I hope so." Fei Qi realized that his question was difficult to answer, so he simply followed Luosang's tone and ended the topic.
Luosang didn't say much anymore, turned and left the room.
Fei Qi opened the dinner and found that the food inside was a little strange, the meat could not be identified, and the dishes could not be named.Fei Qi's appetite, which was not high at all, dropped by half again, took two bites with a spoon, and found that the taste was also very ordinary.
Based on the principle that food should not be wasted, Fei Qi ate hard for a while, but immediately found that he had been spoiled by the iron noodles, such inferior food was really hard to swallow, sighed, dropped the spoon, and gave up eating .
——If Tie Mian can't come back safely, will he starve to death because of picky eaters?
Fei Qi thought to herself mockingly.
In fact, Fei Qi really wanted to enter the Valley of Kings with Tie Mian, meet the holy king who had met him once, and see if he could still recognize her.If possible, he would also like to ask the Holy King why he was chosen to be the queen in the first place, and why he canceled the engagement afterwards.
But Fei Qi just thought about it and gave up putting it into reality.The Holy King has not shown up in public for several years, and it is not certain whether he is dead or alive. The situation in the Valley of Kings is probably more complicated than the outside world guessed.If he just broke in so rashly, the Holy King might not be able to see it, but his life might be lost.
Besides, Tie Mian might not be willing to let him in.
Fei Qi sighed, dismissed these useless thoughts from her mind, opened the door, asked the female slave guarding the door for a large basin of hot water, and scrubbed her body carefully.
After going out, the most uncomfortable thing for Fei Qi is not being able to take a bath every day.What Haimila lacks most is water, and they also control the secret method that can turn sea water into fresh water, which makes most of the clansmen have the habit of bathing every day.But after going out, it is not convenient to take a bath on the road, and there is no water source at all in some places, even if the iron face takes care of him, he can only let him scrub his body when it is convenient.
——When will you be able to settle down?
Fei Qi sighed again.
In the middle of the night, Fei Qi was tossing and turning on the bed, when there was a sound outside the door.
Fei Qi pricked up his ears, and found that there were footsteps and voices, and one of them was very familiar, like an iron mask.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before the sound of footsteps turned towards his door, but what followed was not the sound of knocking on the door, but the sound of the door lock being pried open.
Fei Qi couldn't help becoming nervous, holding the stone dagger in his right hand, gathering his mental strength, and aiming at the door.
The door was quickly pushed open, but the person who came in was the iron mask.
Seeing Fei Qi looking at him like an enemy, Tie Mian closed the door and complained, "If I had known you weren't asleep, I wouldn't have bothered, and just knocked on the door."
Hearing this, Fei Qi couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "Even if I'm asleep, I can still hear your knock on the door."
"I don't want to torment you." Tie Mian took off his leather armor and walked to the bed.
Fei Qi put aside the matter of prying the door, and asked curiously: "The matter of Wang Zhigu is over?"
"How is it possible." Tie Mian lay on the bed sideways, and hugged Fei Qi in his arms, "I just sent the person who should be sent there. It's hard to say what will happen next."
"You don't seem very happy." Fei Qi carefully tested.
Tie Mian didn't answer right away, and was silent for a while before speaking: "Some things didn't go according to my expectation, maybe... there will be trouble."
"What's the matter?" Fei Qi asked casually, leaning on Tie Mian's chest.
"I thought Di Chen would kill the double you sent." Tie Mian said indifferently, "but he didn't."
Although it is called a valley, it is not actually a valley. It is only because the center is surrounded by mountains that it is named a valley.Looking from a distance, the two mountains are like two arms stretched out by giants, enclosing a large plain in their arms.It's just that these two mountains are not symmetrical, one is short and short, the other is tall and long, one in front of the other, forming a canyon-like entrance, which is also a natural checkpoint.
