Chapter 1 The heart has a Lingyun ambition
"Smack, smack, smack"
The sound of whips being whipped on the human body came, mixed with forced patience, and I didn't dare to let out a painful snort, which made people's hearts unbearable and their scalps tingle.
This is a mansion, with a radius of no more than half a mile, but in such a majestic city that is the most prosperous in the whole continent and has every inch of land, the mansion itself is a symbol of glory and status.
What's more, the decoration of this mansion is extremely luxurious and extravagant, but it does not look vulgar and superficial.
Generally speaking, there will be a shadow wall at the gate of the main courtyard of a high-ranking family like this to block the view of outsiders and make the house more imposing.
But this house is deliberate, not only does there be no shadow wall, but the gate is built magnificently, extremely spacious, standing outside the gate from a distance, you can clearly see most of the objects in the courtyard.
At this time, there is a picture that destroys the elegance and tranquility of this house.
A ragged boy of four or five years old with scars all over his body was tied behind his back, his eyes were full of pain and fear, his lips were tightly pursed, and there was a faint sound of broken teeth, and there was blood constantly leaving at the corners of his mouth, but he did not let out a scream, or rather, he did not dare to let it out.
A big shirtless man, his face was unbearable, but he didn't dare to show any abnormality, holding a leather whip, and was constantly pumping at his body.
Opposite him, less than five zhang away, there was a chaise longue, and a table next to the chair, on which there were several plates of fruits, all of which were rare and exotic fruits, and the fruity fragrance was overflowing, so that the two little servants standing next to him swallowed saliva from time to time.
A young man lying on the chair, fourteen or fifteen years old, richly dressed, with a somewhat pale face, looked comfortable and enjoyed the service of two pretty maids, and from time to time glanced at the young man who was being beaten, and the contempt and disdain in his eyes were not concealed at all.
"Hehehe, little bastard, how is it, does it taste good to be whipped?
I don't know how long it took, but the rich young man looked at the beaten boy with a smile and laughed softly.
"Thank you...... Thank you, little ...... Small...... The mongrel is very comfortable, thank you...... Thank the Lord for the gift. ”
The intermittent voice popped out of the mouth of the tied boy, and every time he said a word, the corners of the boy's mouth would twitch once, and the cold glow under his eyes would become stronger and stronger, but he was suppressed by him slightly, not showing the slightest dissatisfaction and hatred.
"Well, today's performance is good, old bell, take him off. ”
Hearing this, the big man with the whip seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, hurriedly untied the whip, and lowered the rope on the young man's body.
But the young man looked a little hesitant, his hands were clenched, and then he hidden, except for the big man, no one found this, and the big man just looked at the young man deeply, as if a reminder, and as if a warning, the young man just nodded slightly, and then there was no other reaction.
The young man in Chinese clothes stood up, walked three feet in front of the thin boy, spread his legs, and looked at the thin boy.
But the thin boy seemed to be used to it, lying on the ground, slowly thinking about the crotch of the young man in gorgeous clothes and crawling down.
At this time, his eyes no longer had the fear and pain they had before, and were replaced by a determined and sharp look, and at the same time, there was a strong coldness and hatred like ten thousand years of ice.
Watching the thin boy crawl quietly from under the crotch of the young man in fancy clothes, the two little maids and the maid all covered their mouths and laughed, only the big man who had just jerked the young man had a sense of relaxation in his eyes, and his tense muscles also relaxed.
"Okay, you go back first, heal the wounds on your body, and in three days, in this world, don't forget. ”
The young man in Chinese clothes said lightly, not caring at all.
"Yes, Lord Xie. ”
The thin boy whispered, then slowly got up, and accidentally pulled the wound several times, causing his face to twitch, but he didn't make a sound.
"What's the matter?
Seeing this, the young man in Chinese clothes asked in a cold voice.
"No, no, no, lord, little ...... The little mongrel doesn't hurt, thank you for the reward. ”
Looking at the back of the young man in Chinese clothes and several attendants leaving, the thin boy's eyes flashed, his fists clenched, and he tried his best to suppress the hatred and anger in his heart.
Walking on the street, the people around him didn't care about the skinny boy's appearance, no one paid attention to him, and they didn't come out to ask about the scars on his body, as if they were used to this scene.
Still, the boy heard some discussion on the street.
"Look, this young city lord went to be beaten and drilled his crotch again, and the dignified young city lord has fallen to this step, alas, pitiful. ”
"I don't know what the lord of Eagle City thinks, sending his son to suffer this. ”
"You know what? If Eagle City hadn't done this, I'm afraid it would have been wiped out by the other tribes a long time ago.
Their strength is reasonable on the grassland, but in our dynasty, the soldiers and horses in one of our counties are several times that of theirs, and Eagle City is so close to Beiyuan City, without relying on us, they can become one of the three major tribes of the grassland? ”
"Yes, if there is a way, what father in this world will send his son into the fire pit? Alas, life is miserable, and I hope he can live. ”
"Hmph, the barbarians, what do we have to do with life or death?"
The boy had no sorrow or joy, just silently endured the physical pain, or rather, did not endure it, but did not feel it at all.
His heart has long been filled with hatred, and the mental pain has already numbed him.
Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, and the young man hurriedly occupied the side of the road, and saw a large group of people walking through the street.
When passing in front of the young man, the general seemed to glance at the young man, but he didn't pay much attention, how could he know what kind of bad luck this wounded and ragged young man in front of him would bring to him and his family in the future.
"Marquis of Zhenguo, Yue Tian. ”
The young man thought silently in his heart, and slowly lowered his head, not daring, or unwilling to look at him—
"Coming back?"
As the boy walked into his quarters, in a small thatched hut in a corner of the slums of Xiongcheng, a gentle voice came to his ears.
When the boy turned around, he saw a young man in a coarse cloth shirt standing behind him, looking at him lightly.
"Hmm!"
The boy replied, not saying anything more.
"Ready to leave?"
"I must leave, or my heart will be blinded by hatred. ”
"Are you sure you're going to see that place?"
"Well, I don't know for sure, but I have to take a gamble, and if I go back directly, I will inevitably be blocked along the way, with my strength, I'm afraid that I can't even go a hundred miles away from Zhongdu, and if I want to leave, I can only find another way, so that they can't find my trace. ”
The boy's words are surprising, is this still a child?
"Good luck, besides, that place, it's dangerous, be careful. ”
"I will. ”
"I'll cover it up for you for three days, and after three days, I'm afraid that the main road to the grassland will be plastered with notices that you want you, so you can do it yourself."
Remember that sentence, you have Lingyunzhi in your heart, what about the humiliation of your crotch, when you become famous in the world in the future, no one will remember this, they only remember your glory. ”
The boy walked into the thatched hut, he didn't talk to the young man anymore, this young man was very mysterious, this was the feeling of the boy, he knew a lot of things, taught the boy a lot, but never let the boy ask him more about things, he was very grateful to him in his heart
Sitting cross-legged, the young man took a few deep breaths, then his eyes were slightly closed, the true qi in his body was running, and he began to breathe and heal, and in his body, there was a faint sound of a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring.
If someone who knows martial arts sees it at this time, he will definitely be surprised, this is exactly the performance of the strength of the third-rate masters in the rivers and lakes, the muscles and bones are like tigers, and the blood is like a dragon.
A third-rate master, this is a small master in the rivers and lakes, and he can even be on his own.
But a moment ago, this young man was still a beggar-like figure who did not know the slightest martial arts, was frail and sickly, and was covered with scars.
An hour later, the young man finished pranayama and exhaled a breath of turbidity, feeling that his state had recovered, and although there were some more scars on his body, they were only skin wounds, which did not affect him at all.
After begging for something to eat on the street, the boy returned to the thatched hut again and continued to meditate and practice qi until late at night, surrounded by silence.
The boy walked outside the house, took a closer look at his surroundings, made sure that no one was watching, and then returned to the house.
In the dim light, a map lay flat on the ground of the hut, and the boy looked earnestly at a red line on the map.
The map is not very detailed, it can be seen that the lines and lines on it are a little unsmooth, obviously, this map is divided into many times to put together completely, its accuracy is debatable, but the boy is very careful to see, any detail, a small hill, the path does not let go.
After a long time, the boy rubbed his eyebrows, picked up the candle, put away the map, and walked to the pile of firewood and grass in the corner of the hut.
Picking up the firewood and grass in the corner of the hut, a dark cave appeared, and the boy did not hesitate to burrow into the cave and disappeared-
In the lush mountains and forests, a thin figure is walking alone, although the young man looks thin and weak, but his steps are extremely solid.
At another fork in the road, the boy stopped and pulled out a sheepskin from his bosom, which was a map.
It was sold to him by an old hunter who, when he was young, had ventured deep into the mountains and forests to a very dangerous place, and he was the only one who escaped with nine companions.
He speculated that there might be some big secret there, and made a map of the location of the place, which the boy bought by chance.
The young man knew very well that if he wanted to leave the dynasty, unless he had enough strength, there would be only one way to die, so he had to take this risk and try his luck, otherwise, he would be tortured to death by that sadistic little prince sooner or later.
"It's been three days, presumably the little prince should have found out that I had escaped from the middle capital, if I continue to walk on the main road, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move an inch. ”
Raised his eyes and looked at the surrounding environment, as well as the two roads in front of him, one large and one small, although the main road is not an official road, but there are many people who will often come and go, which is extremely unfavorable for his current situation.
The boy didn't hesitate any longer and walked straight to the path.
Soon after the boy left, there was a group of dozens of officials dressed as the Imperial Guard, and the leader was the prince in gorgeous clothes, the little prince.
Beside him, the two little servants rode their horses to follow, and at this time these two men were no longer the kind of flattering servants, but had a capable temperament that had been killed for a long time.
"Little prince, that little mongrel has a weak physique, and he won't go far, I believe he will be able to catch up soon. ”
"Hmph, little bastard, he actually dared to run away, which disturbed the interest of the little prince, this time to arrest him back, I must let him know that life is a hundred times more painful than death. ”
The servants on the left and right flattered the little prince while flicking their horsewhips.
"This little bastard, thinking that with his little cleverness, he can hide from this king, wishful thinking, how can the strength of my dynasty be guessed by a small barbarian. ”
The little prince's face was full of anger, in his heart, the boy was just a toy, his personal belongings, a plaything for fun.
And now, he was actually tricked by this toy, and he fled so far away, and was ridiculed by those brothers fiercely for this, which made him lose face, unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable.
The young man walking in the mountains and forests, unaware that his enemy had tracked him down and would soon lock his position, he still underestimated the huge strength of the dynasty.
