Yanhe Yice
In the dense forests, the trees covering the sky have not experienced the depression of winter at all, and the vigorous and powerful branches are stretching out hard every moment.
The past winter did not affect the plants and trees here, and the surroundings were still lush and vitality.
This place is not within the territory of the Yanjiao tribe, nor is it on any hunting route of Yanjiao. No other voices can be heard around, only the chirping of birds and beasts.
Yi Ce looked at a small earth slope in front of him that was slightly protruding from the ground. More than 20 years have passed, and the stones placed there have been covered with soil and flowers and plants, and he can't tell what he looked like when he was just put down.
This is the burial place for Yi Ce’s father Yi Cong.
“It’s time.”
Yi Ce touched a jade that fell on his neck. This was one of the jades that Yi Cong used to divine. In addition to the jade left for Yi Ce, other jades had been buried underground with Yi Cong.
After looking at the sky, Yi Ce turned around and left.
After about half an hour, Yi Ce came to a place to stand, and soon he heard the sound coming from the depths of the forest.
The sound came from far to near, towards the direction where Yi Ce was.
KAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAK
Among the human voices, there was also the sound of trees being broken.
A wolf taller than a human rushed over like a gust of wind. There was also a girl in her back who was fifteen or sixteen wearing a hunting suit and painting tribal patterns on her face.
Without looking at the ferocious beast rushing towards him, Yi Ce smiled and raised his hand to say hello to the girl on the wolf's back.
But before he could make a sound, the figure on the wolf's back swayed. The next moment, Yi Ce was grabbed on his collar and threw it on the wolf's back.
"Shao Duo, the hunting team is back?" Yi Ce hugged the wolf hair and asked.
Shao Duo is the second child of Shao Xuan and Gui Ze.
There was a brother two years older than her above Shao Duo. Shao Cheng followed Zhazha to Yingshan to see him. He had not returned yet, so he did not participate in the hunt.
Shao Duo also has a younger brother three years younger than her, Shao Xu. However, Shao Xu is not very interested in hunting. In comparison, he prefers to follow Guize to study medicinal materials and then tinker with other novel things, such as explosives.
Hearing Yi Ce's inquiry, Shao Duo replied briefly, "I've replied."
“This hunt…”
Yi Ce was still asking about the harvest of this hunting team, and then he heard Shao Duo in front say, "Don't talk nonsense, knock down the pig behind!"
Yi Ce looked behind him, and there was a figure approaching this side not far away. At the same time, you could hear some sounds of branches being broken. Even though the obstruction of the woods made Yi Ce unable to see the figure behind, you could know who was chasing behind him by hearing the movement. The ferocious beast Four Ya and the boy from Uncle Peak's family.
Yi Ce clamped the hair on the wolf's back with one hand, swept the bushes passing by with the other hand, and then threw the things he was holding in his hand into a random place on the ground.
A ferocious beast with fangs like a wild boar was rushing around in the woods, riding a boy in a hunting suit on his back.
Without the obstruction of the woods, the two sides were not too far apart. The boy could see the wolf and the man in front of him. He was about to catch up with him, but the boy saw Yi Ce on the wolf's back. Seeing Yi Ce turned his head and smiled at him, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Before he could shout "Be careful", he heard a strange cry from four teeth, his hooves slipped, and the whole beast fell to the ground.
The boy on the beast's back reacted faster, raised his arm to hook a branch, and turned over and jumped onto the tree.
"Shao Duo! Yi Ce! You guys wait for me!"
How did Siya's hooves that usually run steadily and step on a slippery fruit?
Forget it, even if you step on a pile of fruits, you may not slip easily, unless you step on the key position of the hoof at the time.
But I just stepped on it.
I have encountered such a thing many times, and no one else can do this except Yice... Maybe the Great Elder is also one. But the Great Elder will not pay attention to these juniors.
The fallen four teeth got up and groaned and stomped on the ground, and took the berries on the ground to breathe. This level of slipping was just a tickling and it was nothing, and this behavior was purely venting.
"Stop kicking, hurry up and chase!"
The young man turned over and rode on the back of the beast, indicating that Siya should not waste time trampling on the fruit, and catching up quickly is the main business. He wants to compete with Shao Duo for who is the first to arrive in the tribe.
During this period, several young men and girls of similar age, wearing hunting suits, equipment, riding fierce beasts such as terrifying cranes, cave lions, etc., saw a man and a beast falling down in front of them, and ran past with gloating laughter.
Shao Duo, who had already run away, rode Caesar, and ignored the angry and insulting curses behind him. The other party used the trick first. Caesar still had many traces of berries on his body. As the pulp dried, the wolf hair became clustered.
Shao Duo rode Caesar all the way back to the tribe's mountain, threw Yice at the top of the mountain, and went to the stream to brush Caesar's hair.
Yi Ce, who was thrown on the top of the mountain, sorted out his clothes and walked into the stone house in front of him. This is the office of the Great Elder Shao Xuan of Yanjiao.
When Yi Ce entered, Shao Xuan was writing a animal skin scroll. Shao Xuan, who was already a husband and father, did not change much in appearance, but gave people a more calm feeling, as if the restlessness caused in other parts of the tribe would naturally settle in front of Shao Xuan.
The Yanjiao people and other warlike tribes who joined the Yanhe Basin always like to play and gesture when they meet strong people. However, Yi Ce has memory, he rarely sees those people looking for Shao Xuan to play. Even the leader of the Water Tiger tribe who roars like thunder and roars when he disagrees, he is as quiet as a chicken in front of Shao Xuan.
After Yi Ce entered the house, he sat obediently waiting, looking out the window, and did not curious about what was written on the animal skin scroll. This animal skin scroll requires the power of inheritance to record and should not be disturbed easily, so what Yi Ce did was to wait quietly.
After about ten minutes, Shao Xuan carefully rolled up the finished animal skin, and then looked at Yi Ce.
"You have decided to go there?" Shao Xuan asked.
"Yes." Yi Ce stood up and saluted Shao Xuan respectfully.
Although Shao Xuan did not formally accept Yi Ce as his disciple, Yi Ce learned a lot of things with Shao Xuan. Yi Ce has always treated him with etiquette.
"After a while, I will go to the desert. Do you go with me, or cross the sea with Changzhou people as planned?" Shao Xuan asked. He received a letter from the desert yesterday, written by Shi Shu, the lord of Yanling City, and a whole animal skin scroll was complaining to Shao Xuan about the evil deeds of sapphire in the desert: What about the promise not to interfere with each other? Come and take care of your insects!
When Yi Xiang left, Yanling became much more restrained and gave in. Shi Shu went out of the desert to negotiate with Shao Xuan and signed a contract with Yanjiao. Yanjiao was the only tribe that could go straight through the desert to take a shortcut to the other continent. It was indeed much more convenient. As for other tribes in the Yanhe River Basin, unless Shao Xuan had a connection, he would not be able to pass through the desert safely.
This time, the newly upgraded sapphire smashed Yanling on the desert and occupied an oasis belonging to Yanling. It was a military important place where Yanling suppressed the scattered forces along the desert. How could it be so easy to give up?
So, the people in Yanling were anxious.
beat?
It’s not that they can’t fight. Although Yi Xiang is gone, some of the secret weapons left by Yi Xiang can still be used. However, they dare not fight. They are the insects of the Yanjiao Shao Xuan. They don’t want to face Shao Xuan.
So this time Shi Shu hurriedly wrote a letter to ask Shao Xuan to mediate, otherwise a war between man and insects would be staged in the desert.
Shao Xuan agreed to go over and said it was mediation, but in fact he just went to see if Sapphire is currently in a state and whether he was suffering any losses.
Yi Ce also decided to go to another continent and go to the Yi family headquarters in the royal city to see. Yi Cong sent him to Yanjiao to make him survive better. At that time, the Yi family was in chaos, and many people who stayed in the headquarters were reduced to cannon fodder. Now the Yi family is in power is no longer the same group as those in the past. Yi Ce and his relatives stayed in the Yi family, so he wanted to go over and take a look.
Yi Ce's divination ability is not inferior to Yi Cong. As Yi Cong foresaw, Yi Ce's talent is extremely high, so Yi Ce can naturally make it impossible for most of his relatives to be alive, including his biological mother, but his situation is not good.
Since Yi Ce was going to the other side, it was easier to walk from the desert, so Shao Xuan asked him if he needed to walk with him. If Yi Ce wanted to walk from the desert, following Shao Xuan would naturally save trouble. After all, the people of Yanling were looking at Shao Xuan's face, not the bloodline of the Yi family.
"No, I will still travel with Changzhou's fleet as planned." Yi Ce replied.
Shao Xuan nodded, "It's OK. In three days, the Changzhou people will come to transport wood, and you can leave with them at that time."
"yes!"
Yi Ce heard Shao Xuan talk about the situation in the royal city again before coming out of the stone house.
Go down the mountain and follow the stone bridge on the Yan River to the trading area.
Yanhe Trading Area, also known as "Yanhe City", is the largest trading area on this continent.
After the fusion of the fire, the forces in various parts of the mainland were reshuffled, and some people from different tribes followed the imitation of another continent and formed a new tribe.
The long-distance teams across the mainland, no matter who have been here or not, have definitely heard of the name of "Yanhe City". This trading area contains items from different tribes and continents. It is rumored that there is nothing that cannot be bought here. As long as you pay enough money, even if you can't buy what you want at that time, you can still find someone to find useful information.
Yice often sees long-distance teams from another continent in the trading area, including caravans and organizations, and whenever those people hear Yice's name, their expressions will be very subtle.
The surname "Yi" is basically only used by the Yi family. It is not a secret here that Yi Ce's identity as Yi family is, but not many people know which branch he belongs to.
People from the other mainland have long lost their awe of the Yi family. The glory of the Yi family has been around for a long time and is no longer a great noble. The royal city has the second only to the royal family and Ji family, and it has declined. Unfortunately, it is ridiculous.
In the past, Yi Ce heard about the Yi family from others, but now he has to go and see it himself.
Yi Ce told Yi Si about his plan to go back.
Yi Ce was raised by Yi Si. When he was very young, he knew that he was not a Yanjiao person, but Yi Si's family member like Yi Si. However, Yi Si had already left the Yi family, but Yi Ce did not. Yi Cong also told Yi Si during his lifetime that he hoped that Yi Ce would go back to Yi's house to take a look after he grew up and had the ability to protect himself.
"This day has finally come." Yi Si sighed at the face in front of him who was seventy-sixth-slightly similar to Yi Cong.
The Yi family has been in decline for many years, and the people in power are not reliable. Anyway, he feels that the Yi family is now in a pool of mud and chaotic. Those who escaped because of the civil war of the Yi family did not want to go back, and they would not be able to get back anyway.
However, thinking of Yi Ce's ability, Yi Si was a little relieved. Yi Ce, who grew up in Yanjiao, although Yi Ce was bleeding from the Yi family, had some Yanjiao style in his personality, but he just hid it better. Moreover, Yi Ce was also half of Shao Xuan's student. Even if he couldn't learn all his skills from Shao Xuan, he would not lose to the messes of the Yi family today.
Yes, Yisi called those who are in power in the Yi family now a mess. The once glorious Yi family was like firewood that was almost burned, with only some poor Mars left, which could be extinguished by a storm.
Yi Cong once said before his death that Yi Ce was the key to the rebirth of the Nirvana Fire of the Yi family, and Yi Si also looked forward to it.
Three days later, the fleet of Changzhou tribe came to Yanjiao to transport firewood.
The fleet has thirty ships, of which twenty are used to transport materials, and the other ten are arranged separately, such as carrying long-distance teams.
Some long-distance teams came down from the boat and walked towards the Yanhe trading area, while others came out from the trading area walked onto the boat.
Yi Ce took his eight slaves and followed the teams on board the ship.
In the fleet, a young man looked at the slaves around Yice curiously, and came over and asked, "Hey, brother, are you a slave owner? You also want to follow Changzhou people across the sea? My name is Dongmai, and I am from a small caravan in Chaoqiu City, and follow the Black Bear Caravan in Yanhe City. This time I will go back with them on Changzhou's boat."
Yi Ce showed a friendly smile to the other party, "Hello, my name is Yi Ce, Yanhe Yi Ce."
