Two stupid postmodern life

Ma Han is the name for the bodyguards who guard the caravan in the desert. These people are generally of mixed blood of Xuanji and Semu.

There are many problems left over from the history of Shi Ke's previous enemy-occupied areas, among which the mixed blood is the most obvious.

At that time, Xuanji Shengli, Shi Ke's color-eyed and colorful-haired people were expelled the most severely, but this place has been occupied for decades, and many people have lived for two or three generations, and the children of Xuanji people are all reunited. With children, where should these mixed-race descendants go?

Semu and Caifa lost the battle and suffered heavy losses. Except for the residents of the country, their mixed descendants would never accept them. Later, they had no choice but to stay in Xuanji.

Although these mixed races are from Xuanji people, due to their parents, they are more or less different from Xuanji people. The color of their hair and eyes makes them not have much sense of belonging in their own country. Although there was no malicious bullying, it was obvious that he was discriminated against in various ways.

The most obvious and troublesome thing is that it is difficult for them to find suitable jobs.

Forced by life, the mixed race with little property can only engage in some dangerous and low-paying jobs, and Mahan is one of them.

Some caravans that use the desert as a channel will recruit some strong people to protect goods and human lives in order to resist sand bandits.

It can be said to be protection. When facing sand bandits who aim to kill and act, Mahans who have not experienced training are no different from meat shields.

It is conceivable that ordinary people would not take over a job with such a high casualty rate. After all, no matter how much money is given, it must be spent with life.

But the mixed blood of Semu doesn't care. Firstly, the business owners who are also Semuren will not discriminate against them. Second, as mixed blood, they can enter Wangcheng Tonglan. If they are lucky, they can meet their former relatives, maybe I can stay.

Now that bandits have appeared, it means that they should not be far from the oasis. Sama is in a relaxed mood and even walks a lot easier. Coupled with the gratitude for Mahan's bravery, there are more exchanges along the way.

"Little brother, you guys are all very good at martial arts. How long have you been a Mahan?"

The young man seemed to be a little awkward with words, and after thinking about it, he said, "It's been three years."

Sama: "I didn't expect that the helpers could recruit such a powerful Mahan as you. I used to have a caravan I was familiar with. I was unlucky to meet sand bandits. I heard that they recruited a dozen Mahans. It turned out that not only Mahan Han, all the people in their caravan were silenced, and no one was left... oh... it was too tragic." Thinking of the tragedy, and thinking about my own false alarm this time, I suddenly felt that being alive is really good: "Yes Forgot, I forgot to ask the little brother your name and name, and I will appoint you when I come and go."

Boy: "My name is Shuo Ye."

Sama looked at Sakuya, his brown pupils did not show joy because of his affirmation, and patted him on the shoulder knowingly.

At a young age, he speaks and does things but is mature and prudent, exuding the breath of dead wood. It is conceivable that this young man's life experience is not good.

To be honest, Sama really wanted to ask the young man if there was anything he could do to help, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.I am just a small businessman who can no longer be ordinary, so what if I ask too much, what can he help?

You can only give more money at the end.

There was nothing to say along the way, and finally in the evening, I arrived at the last oasis on this journey, Lan Ji.

The stars are like the sea, flickering and flickering, hanging in the sky, there is no sea in the desert, but there is a sea, floating in the sky profusely.

So the night in the desert is one of the most beautiful scenery in the world. Here, if you lie anywhere, you will see a fairyland.

Surrounded by green forests and dense lakes, under the sea of ​​stars, the Semu people who come and go to rest eat fishy mutton, drink delicious wine, and laugh and sing beside the campfire. Lanji Oasis is like a beauty holding a pipa, shy and timid , Slowly laughing and singing.

Xuan Ye, who is called Shuo Ye now, lay with his arms on his pillow in a corner away from the crowd and noise, quietly looking at the sky.

Er silly, I only came to you after three years, will you blame me?

But there is no way, I have too many responsibilities and burdens on me, and I can't come to you until I finish dealing with it.

That Jichang, what his ability is, I also thought about it for a long time before I got some clues.

Xiangxiang's people and my hidden guards seem to be in a different situation.

Everyone in Xiangxiang, like me, lost consciousness at the dinner table, and then, like puppets, was guided by Jichang to the place he had planned long ago.

My hidden guards did not lose consciousness, maybe they did, but it was only for a short moment. They acted as usual, but the people they saw in front of them had already violated the reality and were replaced by the people Jichang identified.

These two groups of people have both similarities and differences.

The difference is that one is completely unconscious and the other is not.

The same thing is, first, before that, they were all gazed by Jichang's eyes; second, they all regained consciousness only after being stimulated by external force, such as being hit.

As for his ability to regain clarity without any external force, it may have something to do with his innate will.

It seems that Jichang's ability allows him to control people as he pleases.

In the past two years or so, I have stepped up efforts to stabilize the border and cleared up many hidden factors of instability, while constantly investigating the secrets of the Semu royal family. Although I have gained very little, it has gradually confirmed my assumptions.

For example, this time when the new emperor came to the throne, he actually ran away from home in order not to accept the empress. The fourth prince came out to be the regent, and he had no other measures at all.

The ruler of a country is so casual that the officials don't even care. Are their minds controlled?

Just thinking about the next plan, I suddenly heard someone shout: "Suo Ye, are you there?"

Xuan Ye agreed and sat up: "Suoyue, what's the matter?"

Someone came over and pulled Shuo Ye up: "The desert is full of wind and dust, don't you feel uncomfortable? I see that people are gathering together to sing and dance now. Let's take advantage of the lack of people and go to wash."

Shuo Yue is Xuan Ye's elder brother, Xuan Ji's fourth prince, Xuan Yue.

This time, Xuan Ye specially invited his elder brother from the imperial city for the sake of looking good. Because Xuan Yue is good at medicine and poison, the color of their pupils was caused by taking Xuan Yue's prescription for a long time.

Otherwise, black pupils would not even be able to enter the country of Semu.

When we arrived at the lake, there were really few people there. Xuan Yue couldn't wait to take off her clothes and jumped into the water: "It's so comfortable, Ah Ye, come down quickly."

Only then did Xuan Ye slowly take off his outer robe. As a prince, his brother was devoted to medicine, and he had a cute and cute personality and didn't like to go out of his way. He was Xuan Ye's favorite brother.

Xuan Ye: "Ah Yue, be careful of the wind and cold, the weather is still a bit cold now."

"It's windy and cold, with me as a doctor, what are you afraid of? I feel like I ate a couple of ounces of sand along the way, and now I feel that there are still gaps between my teeth. I have to wash it well." Xuan Yue slammed into the bottom of the water, pawing at the lake The bed walked a long way, and then got out: "Hey, Xuan Ye, I'm here, come here quickly."

"Here we come." Xuan Ye walked into the water step by step. At this moment, a singing sound floated from afar.

"I love to take a bath for good skin

Oooo

Put on a shower cap and sing and dance

Oooo

The mermaid wants to escape"

Is this a local song from Semu?

It's a strange song, a tune I've never heard before, and lyrics I don't understand, but it sounds surprisingly pleasant.Listening to the singing, Xuan Yue could hardly control her hands and feet, and wanted to dance along with the singing.

Xuan Ye suddenly stood still in place, his tall and straight figure standing there alone under the bright blue water of the lake seemed a little... lonely.

When the singing stopped, Xuanyue saw that he was still not moving, so she paddled over: "Aye, why did you stop moving suddenly? You..."

In the middle of speaking, Xuan Yue suddenly stopped, because he saw that his proud younger brother, the proud son of Xuanji Kingdom, had red eyes.

His younger brother, except when he was red-eyed during the war, he was red-eyed at other times.

Moreover, the tears accumulated there were about to exceed the capacity of the eye sockets, and they were about to drip down.

All this because of the singing just now?

Xuan Yue knew the reason just by thinking about it.

Whose singing can make my younger brother's tenacious spirit unbreakable? They have come here from thousands of miles, and for whom?

Isn't this obvious?

Xuan Ye's emotional loss of control was fleeting, and he quickly came to the shore, picked up his clothes, and ran towards the direction of the singing.

Xuan Yue took a breath, followed closely behind, stopped at a shore not far from them, and hid behind the bushes.

Two young men were swimming in the lake. The younger one was obviously weaker than the older one. After swimming for a while, he stopped moving and lazily soaked in the water.

The older one swam around and came back, dragged the younger one back to the shore, wiped it dry with a cloth towel, and wrapped it in it: "It's just because I'm sick that I insist on swimming, I'm convinced."

When they landed on the shore, Xuan Yue could see clearly that the young man was not tall, and although his figure was not thin, he had no strength at first glance. He had a baby face with a little baby fat, showing a little bit of post-exercise Ruddy, nose and mouth are ordinary, only a pair of eyes, big, bright, like a bubble of water.The older figure is much taller and stronger, with long black hair, light brown skin, and a resolute and indifferent face, which may be inseparable from his narrow and long eyes. The pupils are deep purple. When he swept over, Xuan Yue immediately Feeling an invisible oppression hit, I had to breathe lightly again.

"Jichang, I'll sleep for a while, you call me later."

"No, it's still a bit cold at the moment, you're just right with the wind and cold, don't make it happen again." While talking, the older youth helped the former to dress and tie his hair, and took him away.

Xuan Ye and Xuan Yue followed at a distance.

Along the way, Xuan Ye kept silent, coupled with the sound of deliberately lowered breathing, Xuan Yue had to turn her head repeatedly to look at Xuan Ye.

Otherwise, he would think that the people around him might be dead.

Their Xuanji royal family has excellent hearing ability, even if they are far away, the voices of the two people in front can still be heard clearly.

Older youth: "You were the one who insisted on coming to Lan Ji, and said that you wanted to investigate the matter of planting trees, but it turned out that you were too tired to come."

Young youth: "Don't miss me, okay? I don't know how many times you read it along the way. I can't strengthen my training in the future? Besides, you don't even have a decent road in this poor land. My foot is deep. With a shallow foot, it would be good to come over..."

The two were talking and entered the inn in front. Xuanyue saw Xuan Ye staring at the inn's sign intently, and he also looked, only to see that the sign read: "Xiangxiang Inn".
