The wild man with a sharp beard came to his senses after being startled.
The Erxu family in Luoyang, the big Xu family and the small Xu family are all famous and aristocratic families in the Central Plains. Even if something like this happens to a commoner, they will never be tolerated and must be brought to justice.
Gao Yi and others were originally sent by their families to hang out in the Tianshan Guards. There were many such people among the three guards in the northern part of the empire.
Some of the non-direct descendants of wealthy and famous families are sent to these places. Those who are capable can work hard on their own to make a future, and those who are not capable can gain qualifications and find a good place to go back in the future.
.
Of course, such opportunities are becoming less and less. It is often difficult for these non-direct descendants of common people to borrow the family shadow. Unless there are special circumstances, most of them will just hang out for a few years and then go home to see if they can find a small official position in their hometown, or
He was kicked out of his home and used the little household allowance to make a living on his own.
Take the Erxu family in Luoyang as an example. At first, the Xu brothers followed Taizu Taizu of Daxia to start a business, and Fengyunjihui built such a large family property. However, after hundreds of years, the big Xu family and the small Xu family have spread out. At least the Xu family has the surname Xu.
There are also thousands of people, but there are only a few dozen people who can really occupy the resources of the Erxu family, and there are no more than ten people who have the power to control the internal power. How can a commoner son be noticed?
For someone like Gao Yi, when he first came to Tianshan Guard, he just wanted to live out his life for two years before leaving. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed, and he had no preparations before. Where could he escape when his eyes darkened?
The Western Region is within the Tianshan Guard's sphere of influence. Since the arrest warrant has been issued to the Tianshan Guard, how dare Ma Zhe go?
He could only cross the Yellow River eastward from the Jin region to the Mongolian wilderness. This all depended on the fact that the Yinshan Guards happened to be defeated by the Wu La people. Otherwise, even Maghe himself would not know whether he could escape. Luoyang Erxu was in the empire.
His influence is still quite large, and there are many descendants of the Xu family in the imperial three-guard army. Therefore, it was only after the invasion of the Wu La people that the Yinshan Guard collapsed, and they had no time to take care of him, so they had the opportunity to escape into the Mongolia wilderness.
Sure enough, a strange light flashed across the reckless man's eyes. He was not angry, as if he was not qualified enough to make him angry, but it just made him curious, probably because he was curious about how he dared to answer so boldly.
"Haha, yes, I have some impression of you. You seem to be a clerk under Zuo Yiwei who joined the army, right?" The man said casually: "Don't be nervous, I am not from the Internal Security Department, and I have no intention of overstepping my authority. Well, especially
Is it here or the Yinshan Defense Line, but I saved your life, right? Without me, this turtle would have been enjoying its dinner."
The reckless man casually patted the turtle next to him whose neck had been strangled.
This was obviously cut off by the other party's force of the wrist. Thinking of this, Gao Yi felt his scalp go numb.
Unexpectedly, I still summoned my companions to deal with the earth dragon by myself. I don’t know what happened at that time, and let this guy break the neck of the earth dragon with his hands while it was alive. It was said that this guy had not joined the Great Xia Army before.
He is known as the number one master under the Aries King of the Western Regions, and it seems true.
Gao Yi remained silent.
The reckless man's gaze fell on Ma Zhe with real substance, making Gao Yi feel even more depressed.
"What? You don't want to admit this fact?" The reckless man wiped his thick beard under his chin and nodded, "Then can I take back the life I gave you?"
"General, my life is nothing, but I don't know what you want." Gao Yi sighed, realizing that he had no right to speak in front of the other party.
"Well, I haven't decided what I want yet, but I gave you your life. I think you can only obey whatever I want."
The man's tone was full of doubts. He was a runaway commoner, and in the wilderness of Mongolia, the other party had no choice.
"Yes." Gao Yi smiled bitterly and rubbed the still painful wound under his ribs.
As if realizing that the man in white robes beside him was not interested in this, the rude man waved his hand impatiently: "You can..."
"Ask him where he came from." The man in white robe suddenly interrupted and asked.
The man was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Well, where did you leave from? Don't lie."
Gao Yi didn't pause: "I came out of Gaoque Pass."
There is no need to lie, and in front of these veterans, telling a lie may require several lies to make up for it. Once discovered by the other party, the consequences are unpredictable, so Gao Yi was very sensible and did not lie or pause.
The mangy man did not express approval or dissatisfaction with Gao Yi's answer. His eyes fell on the runes on the wound on Gao Yi's waist and ribs. He waved his hand lightly, and the runes that had lost their effectiveness slowly flew into the man's hands as if they were being held by a thread.
, he looked at it and frowned, "Did you make this yourself?"
Alchemy is as popular in the Great Xia Empire as martial arts. However, compared to martial arts which is easy to learn but difficult to master, alchemy is not easy to get started. It requires at least literacy in writing. This threshold stops ordinary children from poor families.
To be proficient in alchemy requires extremely high talent, and many people are not willing to waste energy on it.
But the Great Xia Empire was so large, with tens of millions of people, and there were also many alchemists who were skilled in runes.
Of course, there are also many well-educated magicians, rangers and even other people who are proficient in martial arts who can also play one or two hands of rune writing, but this kind of skill is not even a part-time job. At most, it means that they know some basic skills.
With magic, you can make some simple magic weapons or traps without any choice, or you can brew some magic medicine or write a few runes.
"No, I spent two gold cakes to get this at Gaoque Pass."
Gao Yi shook his head.
He didn't lie. He knew a little bit about writing runes, it was a family tradition, but the writing paper, medicinal ink, and ink pens needed to write runes were not that easy to find, especially the writing paper and medicinal ink, which had to be matched.
"Bought at Gao Que Gate?" Not only the reckless man, but also the man in white who had lowered his eyes couldn't help raising his eyes and glanced at Gao Yi, but then he returned to his Gujing Bubo appearance, "There you go.
Gaoqueguan? The Wu La people don't care about you?"
Gaoque Pass is an important pass of Yinshan Mountain, closely connected with the mountain pass of Langshan Mountain, the main vein of Yinshan Mountain. It has always been the place where the Yinshan Guard stationed heavy troops in the Great Xia Dynasty. It echoes with another important place of Yinshan Guard - Jiluxai. It is also a buffer for the important place where Yinshan Guard controls the Hetao.
district.
"What do you care? The Wu La people have demolished Gaoque Pass. There are still some houses inside and outside the pass. The Wu La people stationed a cavalry squadron on the edge of the pass. The goods passing by are drawn three out of ten. They don't care if you are Xia
People are still arrogant." Gao Yi felt that the other party was very interested in Gao Queguan, so he said a few more words.
"Did you buy this rune from the Alchemist?" the man asked further.
If even the Alchemist dares to stay in Gaoque Pass, it means that the Wu La people's control over this area is really very weak.
The Wu La people are very afraid of the alchemists in Daxia. They themselves have always lacked talent and accumulation in this area, and the alchemists can pose a huge threat to them. Therefore, it is generally impossible for the alchemists to appear in Gaoque.
Guan is an area that has been regarded as the hinterland by the Ulu people.
"No, that's impossible. I got it from a ranger. He came from the pass and brought a few runes with him. I used two gold cakes to exchange for this rune. It was a little bit useful.
Effect." Gao Yi laughed at himself: "At least it saved my life."
"No one can save your life except me." The man seemed to have lost interest and his eyes turned cold. "If you want to survive, you have to do as I say."
Only then did Gao Yi realize that this was in the Mongolian wilderness where the jungle was strong and there was no law or morality. Everything was based on strength. He even felt that if he dared to do more
Just one word, and I'm afraid that the other party will attack me.
"Follow the order." Gao Yi did not dare to be presumptuous anymore and replied respectfully.
"Then now pick up your things, get over there, and don't cause trouble. Those guys are just like you." The man raised his chin indifferently, and then Ma Zhe turned around and saw that there was another person five feet away.
A bonfire was built, and a few people scattered around the bonfire. "Go and get familiar with them. They will tell you what the situation is now. If you want to survive, well, you have to listen to my instructions."
