The beautiful woman is none other than Ye Cheng’s mother!
"I know they won't let our family go. I've been thinking of a way to leave, waiting for me..." The beautiful woman said softly, surrounded by layers of mist, mysterious and powerful.
……………………
Three days later, the wedding date of King Zhenxi and Ling Meng was officially determined, and powerful people from all parties were invited, creating a huge momentum!
Also today, Zhao Ye, the confidant of King Zhenxi, personally sent an invitation to Ye Cheng!
After meeting Ye Cheng, Zhao Ye showed an extremely solemn and shocked look on his face. However, within a few days, Ye Cheng made him feel even stronger!
Even he felt every trace of pressure!
"If it were at Jiangnan's home court, I might not be his opponent!"
Zhao Ye couldn't help but think of the scene of Gao Peng's tragic death. He never expected that a little person he looked down on in the past could be on an equal footing with him and become someone he must pay attention to.
"Mr. Ye, this is the invitation that King Zhenxi specially asked me to give you. Three days later, at six o'clock in the evening, Mr. Ye will be invited to attend the wedding banquet of King Zhenxi and Miss Ling! I don't think Mr. Ye will refuse Zhenxi.
Is it the king's good intention?" Zhao Ye calmed down and smiled maliciously.
took the invitation,
Ye Cheng's tone was calm: "Mr. Zhao, please make a special trip. I will definitely be there on the wedding day of King Zhenxi, and I will prepare a big gift for King Zhenxi!"
"Okay! Then I will wait for Mr. Ye's visit in the Western Region!"
After saying this, Zhao Ye shrank his eyes, took a step forward, approached Ye Cheng, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Ye Cheng, remember, if you really dare to step into the Western Region,
You will definitely die! I will personally kill you when the time comes! In the Western Region, you are not qualified to show off your power!"
Then, Zhao Ye flashed and disappeared from the spot.
"Brother Cheng, are you really going to the Western Regions?" Su Yu walked over and asked worriedly.
"The invitations have arrived, why should I not go!" Ye Cheng snorted coldly and quickly understood Zhao Ye's little thoughts.
Once he sets foot in the Western Region, given the grudge between him and the King of Zhenxi, he will definitely encounter various difficulties, and he may die in a foreign country. But if he does not go, it will be tantamount to announcing to the world that he is afraid of the King of Zhenxi and does not dare to
Stepping into the Western Region indirectly promoted the prestige of the King of Zhenxi!
"Don't worry, I'm fully prepared!"
Ye Cheng patted Su Yu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Next, the Yaori Alliance will have to work harder on you!"
"Brother Cheng, you don't have to worry about this. As long as I am still alive, there will be no problems with the Yaori Alliance!" Su Yu assured, patting his chest.
Next,
Ye Cheng said goodbye to Xiao Junyan, Mr. Xiao, Wang Yingying and his family one by one, and then quietly left Jiangnan and headed to the Western Regions.
According to Ye Cheng's plan, he must make adequate preparations in the Western Regions so that he can escape from the Western Regions with Ling Meng on the wedding day of King Zhenxi!
It's a bright spring day.
Silently, Yecheng has entered the territory of the Western Region.
Unlike the richness and vitality of Jiangnan, the entire Western Region was gloomy and lifeless. There was no life on the faces of the people passing by. The only emotions that could be seen were numbness, as if everyone had become accustomed to this kind of life.
However, there are also places in the Western Region that cannot be compared with Jiangnan. There is a huge martial arts stage almost every ten kilometers, which is specially used for warriors to fight in duels. Every time there is a life-or-death duel, it can attract a large number of people to watch.
The closer you get to the center of the Western Region, the more martial arts stages there are, and the crowds gradually increase.
But what makes Ye Cheng a little strange is that ordinary people don't seem to be enthusiastic about the wedding of King Zhenxi, and there is almost no discussion, but some of the richly dressed upper class have been talking about it.
"It seems that the class differentiation in the Western Region is more serious than I thought."
Ye Cheng sighed softly, he had predicted this situation before coming.
In the Western Region, King Zhenxi almost covers the sky with one hand, and with King Zhenxi's domineering strength, how can he care about the life and death of ordinary people? The situation in the Western Region is at best better than that in the Northern Region.
Ye Cheng continued to move forward, but suddenly his steps stopped.
I saw an old man in shabby clothes kneeling down in front of a young warrior, with tears streaming down his face, and begged: "Sir, please don't take away my only remaining baby. He is only twelve years old.
If you can't bear the high-intensity work, four of my five children have died. This last one is the only bloodline of my old Chen family. He cannot die! Sir, please take me away, I can still do it!
I can go mining! Please!”
"You damn old man, get out of here, don't dirty my clothes!"
The young warrior kicked the old man away, patted his clothes in disgust, and without caring about the people watching around him, he said coldly: "If you can't pay the tribute money, you will deduct it with labor. This is something clearly stipulated. Don't do it."
I'm pretending to be pitiful in front of you. Someone, take me away!
Behind the old man, a skinny twelve-year-old boy curled up tremblingly, his body shaking constantly, and he grabbed the old man's sleeves in fear.
"Oh, another poor man!"
"The Western Region is rich in minerals and materials, but the manpower is extremely poor. We can only oppress the people at the bottom with this kind of extortionate expropriation!"
"This is the territory of Huangfuxing, the second son of King Zhenxi. It is said that Huangfuxing recently discovered a gold mine and is recruiting a large number of coolies to dig it!"
"I heard that every household here has to pay a large amount of money every month. If you can't pay it, you can only sell your children!"
Several young men and women were discussing,
"Since you can't live here anymore, why don't you leave?" Ye Cheng asked doubtfully.
"leave?"
A young man in luxurious clothes glanced at Ye Cheng and said calmly: "Every household in the Western Region is registered. According to the rules, these people are the private property of the Western Region and cannot leave the Western Region without permission.
!”
"Then what's the difference between this and raising livestock?" Ye Cheng was faintly angry.
"Actually, there's no difference!" The young man smiled.
"Is there no one who resists?" Ye Cheng asked again.
"Yes, but those who resisted became dead! King Zhenxi's methods are very powerful!" the young man said.
"Please! Please leave a bloodline for our old Chen family, please..." The old man who was kicked out got up again, tightly protecting his grandson behind him, and supporting a group of young people.
The warriors punched and kicked, kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Everyone around looked at this scene, but they were all cold and numb, as if they were used to it.
"The people in the Western Region are really miserable, but this has nothing to do with us. Let's go, we have to rush to attend the wedding of King Zhenxi!"
"Hey, I heard that girls from the Western Region are very charming. I wonder if I can buy and sell them?"
"These people are so pitiful. Fortunately, I was not born into such a lowly family!"
"What's so pitiful? This is their fate! Unlike us, we are born noble!"
"Taking this opportunity, why don't we go visit Huangfuxing, the son of King Zhenxi?"
“This is a great idea!”
Every sound was full of indifference.
Seeing the old man being forcibly beaten away, and seeing the thin twelve-year-old boy about to be taken away, Ye Cheng's fists gradually clenched.
He is different from these callous and callous people!
He never believed in any bullshit about being born noble!
