Konoha Aogen
Chapter 22: Appeasement
When the bright moon hung low in the sky, the fleet finally arrived at the north bank of the Tianhe River. Six people landed first, and thousands of camels and riders slowly stepped off the cargo ship under the cover of night. Separated by a river, the scenery on the shore is almost the same, but in Ye Xuan's heart, it seems like two worlds. When we arrived in the north, I was still worried, but not as scared as before.
Not long after the camel team set off, Ye Xuan found a "cedar tree" on a low hill beside the road. He waved "Xue Zang" lightly and cut the tree in half. The six-foot-tall "cedar tree" crashed to the ground. Under the moonlight, mud, grass and wooden leaves splashed.
Ye Xuan put the "tip of the knife" in the middle of the annual ring, and with a secret inner strength, he stabbed it into the open belly of the "cedar tree". Then he used the palms of his hands to use the power of "Markless Hands" and "Smoke Wave Blade" to peel off bones and skin, and instantly made a simple wooden sheath, tightly wrapping "Snow Zang"'s naked waist inside. .
In the middle of the night, the camel team camped in a very open space.
Inside the main camp tent, there is a faint candle at night. Ye Xuan was lying on his side on the couch, covered by a velvet quilt. Mu Qing'er's plump and firm chest was pressed tightly against his back through a thin layer of clothing, ignoring the slight pain caused by squeezing and twisting. Swelling and pain. The arms wrapped around his neck and waist like anacondas, tightening and tightening until they were on the verge of suffocation before slowing down. Whenever Ye Xuan was scared, she would hold him like this; whenever she herself was scared, the same thing happened.
"Is it worth it for us to take such a big risk just for that stupid dream?" Ye Xuan asked softly, as if talking to himself.
"Young Master, I... don't know how to calculate." Mu Qing'er was extremely embarrassed and held Ye Xuan's arms tighter.
Ye Xuan felt a little uncomfortable, but did not resist at all. He knew that this was Mu Qing'er's confusion, not punishment. But he would rather it be punishment: to do stupid things and then stop saying stupid things.
Ye Xuan's consciousness gradually blurred, and he couldn't tell whether he was sleeping or fainting.
Exile Diary - Excerpt (27)
Time flies by very quickly, and it has been more than three months since I moved into Lin Jue's house. Lin Jue came to the courtyard every day to teach me how to speak. He took me to the city every few days, but he never left the city. He was not bored at all by such a monotonous life. Of course I'm not bored either, because it's not monotonous for me. By learning the language, I can collect new information almost every day.
I can basically understand what Lin Jue is saying, and I can barely speak complete sentences. But I hid this ability, I mean speaking. From Lin Jue's point of view, I can only come up with some simple words so far, such as you, me, him; walking, lying, sitting; eating, drinking, sleeping; flowers, grass, trees and so on. He was very surprised that I could understand what he said, and he always praised me for being smart. I know this is not sarcastic, because I know very well how stupid people in this world except me are, such as my cousin, and those children from noble families.
Pretending not to speak has endless uses. In this way, I can hide all the information I want to hide, and Lin Jue and other people in this world will continuously send me new information. The words of the guards and the slave girls, the words of the merchants in the city... all
(This chapter is not over, please turn the page)
Let the outline of this world become increasingly clear.
Lin Jue did not personally teach Anese, so her progress could barely keep up with mine. Of course, it was only in terms of listening and speaking, reading and writing that she lagged far behind. Every night before going to bed, Anese and I secretly talk in the language of "Loess Continent" under the quilt, so that Xiaoyue and Xiaomei cannot hear. Through Lin Jue's few words, I already understood that almost all the land in this world is yellow, not only the area near "Yanbo City".
The place where I am is called Yanbo City. Lin Jue's grandmother, the "witch", is the king here. Others call her "City Lord".
It took me a long time to figure out the difference between "king" and "city lord" in Loess Continental. The meaning of "king" is a bit like the "emperor" of the "Wulfgangga Empire", and "city lord" is closer to the "king" in the "Wulfgangga language".
To put it simply, Lin Jue's grandmother's status in the "Loess Continent" is very similar to his father's status in "Wolfgangga". Lin Jue is really a prince. No, Wang Sun.
Lin Kyaw said that his parents were killed in an assassination attempt on his grandmother when he was 19 years old. I didn't feel particularly sad when I said it. Maybe as time went by, all the tears that needed to be shed have been shed.
Recently, I have been pestering Lin Jue to tell me the history of this world. The language related to history is still a bit difficult, and there are many things I don’t understand. Lin Juechu would always speak slowly while watching my expression to confirm whether I understood it, but every time he spoke, he gradually became excited and then talked endlessly. The more engrossed he talked, the less I could understand.
On the other hand, the price of pretending not to speak is that you cannot ask even slightly complex questions. I can only let Lin Jue talk and listen to whatever he hears. For example, Lin Jue told me that the name "Yanbo City" originated from a world-famous bard who came out of this city a long time ago. The poet's nickname was "Yanbo Jushi", so the city was renamed. It is called "Yanbo City".
This is another piece of information that challenges my inner order. They actually named a city after a bard. And looking at Lin Jue's expression, he didn't feel humiliated at all, but felt some kind of honor.
In Wolfgangga, the name of the "main city" must be the "royal surname" of that territory. For example, my father's main city is called "Kunst". If a king owns other cities in addition to the "main city", they are usually named after the queen, prince or princess. When I was a child, my father promised to give me a city named "Grosa" as a gift on my fortieth birthday. This man brags when he drinks.
Lin Jue seemed to conclude that I drifted over from a place called the "Western Regions". I pretended not to understand and did not give a positive or negative answer. In fact, I really don’t know what “Western Region” refers to, but it probably doesn’t refer to “Wulfganga”.
That's fine. I don't want Lin Jue to know about "Wolfgangga" too early, at least until I completely understand the religion of this world.
In addition, Lin Jue followed the pronunciation of "Grossa" and used the word "Loess Continent"
(This chapter is not over, please turn the page)
Yu gave me a name, "Ge Li". He said it was a beautiful name and looked a lot like me, so I just pretended to like it. It’s hard for me to understand the language here, far from being able to distinguish between beauty and ugliness. As for Anese, I always call her Weize in front of outsiders. Now Lin Jue often calls her "Xiaowei", which sounds the same as Xiaoyue and Xiaomei.
Exile Diary - Excerpt (28)
My Loess Continental has improved rapidly, and now I can understand what Lin Jue is saying even if he doesn't slow down his speech and pick out words for me. In front of Lin Jue, I also showed that I could speak some simple phrases. Don't overdo your acting. As your "listening" ability improves, your "speaking" ability must also improve appropriately.
The corresponding benefit is that it will be much easier to obtain information if you can ask specific questions. I have basically grasped the history and current situation of the Loess Continent, and there are several facts that shocked me.
1: There was once an empire called "Liang" that ruled the entire Loess Continent, except for the place called the Western Regions. Therefore, the ambition of the "Wulfgangga Empire" may not be a wishful thinking. I am even more worried about my father.
2: The eyes of people from the Western Regions come in many colors, one of which is the same brown-red color as mine, and more than half of the people from the Western Regions have curly hair. So Lin Jue believed that I was a native of the Western Regions who drifted to "Yanbo City" by sea. In the world that Lin Jue lives in, which he calls the "Central Plains", most people have brown-black eyes and pure black straight hair. Fortunately, Lin Jue's knowledge of the Western Regions seems to be limited to this. If this is the case, it will be much easier for me to lie in the future.
Three: I think I have a complete understanding of what "east, west, south, north, and center" means, so I am even more confused. "Yanbo City" is obviously close to the "Endless Sea", why is this place called "Central Plains"?
Four: There are religions in this world, and there are all kinds of religions. More importantly, no religion, no matter what kind of religion, has power! Most people in this world either don’t believe in God or believe in many kinds of gods. That kind of belief, haha, is simply a tease! Later I will let Lin Jue talk about the various religions here in detail. The weak God makes me want to understand and get close to him.
Five: There is really witchcraft in this world! They call it "Qi". Learning this can make people incredibly powerful. Lin Jue said that the empire that ruled the entire world before slowly withered and shattered after the appearance of "Qi Practitioners". The reason why performers can jump so high is because of their "Qi". Lin Jue said that his grandmother was the person with the highest level of zhenqi in "Yanbo City". But Lin Jue has no real energy, which makes me extremely disappointed. I'm in dire need of more intel on chi. But I am worried that if I show excessive enthusiasm for this, it may cause Lin Jue discomfort, so I can only take it slowly.
In addition, I really wanted to know if Lin Jue had a wife and children, but he didn’t tell me and I didn’t dare to ask. Apart from my grandmother, there didn't seem to be any other mistresses in the Lin Mansion's palace, but I didn't wander around much by myself. Xiaoyue and Xiaomei must know, but I don't think it's a good idea to ask them.
