Chapter 1163: A Place to Go

~7 min read 1,359 words

Huang kept his eyes closed, feeling the cold sensation on his neck, along with a slight, sharp stinging pain, but his heart was already dead at this moment, so he was not actually that afraid.

"Who are you, what do you do, and why are you wandering around the military camp? Speak the truth!"

Huang said dully: "I am a Slave of Chengqie. According to Chengqie's request, I came to the military camp to ask for people, to ask for his guards."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the sharpness on his neck loosen; this was the Knife being pulled away a little. The Soldiers felt a bit regretful, but there were still those who would not give up and asked: "Then why did you go past the main gate, and why do you have to wander around here?"

"I didn't dare to go. The laws of Huaxia say that entering a military camp at will is against the law and punishable by sentencing."

"So you were just wandering around here?" The Soldiers instantly felt bored and very disappointed. Good heavens, the merit that was within their grasp was now about to vanish.

"Yes, I was thinking about how to get to the main gate properly; I didn't dare to go over." Huang still kept his eyes tightly shut; he was still afraid and did not dare to open his eyes.

"Alright, alright, get up. We will send someone to find your master to verify this. For now, you come with us."

Huang opened his eyes instantly: "Does that mean I don't have to die?"

"As long as it is confirmed that what you said is true, you don't have to die. If everyone were like you, where we had to arrest and kill anyone who came to deliver a message, who would still dare to pass through here?"

Huang slowly stood up from the ground. Only then did he feel afraid, and his legs began to shake.

This group of Soldiers surrounded him and then led him toward the military camp. On the way, they also asked: "Your master sent you to ask for people? His guards?"

"Yes, he said as long as I mention that they are the ones from the Suiren Clan, that will do; they are all people of the Suiren Clan."

At this, the Soldiers all understood: "Oh, you mean them? That's simple. We'll go find them for you in a moment. Of course, we will also go to your master to inquire."

Huang hurriedly lowered his head: "That is only right, I understand, I understand!"

As long as they did not kill him, let alone finding Chengqie, even if they gave him a beating, it would be acceptable. As long as he did not die, his future would still have a chance to change.

The Leaders, who had originally wanted to sleep in, woke up when the time came, but they did not get out of bed; instead, they lay on their beds staring at each other.

"What should we do? Where are we going now?"

"Keep sleeping?"

"Can't sleep. Should we go do morning exercises?"

"Everyone else has finished running; you'd just be embarrassing yourself if you went out now."

"Then what do we do?"

"Keep lying here. We'll pack up and leave in a bit!"

"Fine, let's lie here."

After reaching an agreement, they lay down with peace of mind, and they lay quite comfortably. They did not have many belongings of their own, one could even say they had none, so packing up and leaving before noon was not a difficult task at all; it was even very easy, just a quick bit of tidying up would suffice.

The interior was kept even cleaner; it had to be swept more than once every day. Even if they stopped cleaning now, it would be no problem. Moreover, because of the standardized training during this period, these people had all developed a certain degree of cleanliness; if they did not clean the room, they themselves would not be able to sleep.

Just as they were preparing to lie there until noon, a Soldier came to knock on the door. The few of them put on their clothes at the fastest speed and then got off the bed.

After opening the door, there was a grinning young Soldier. Looking at the few people who were already dressed neatly, he was also a bit amazed: "Oh my, you woke up so early? Didn't you finish your training today? Not going to sleep in?"

"Can't sleep anymore, it's become a habit. What's wrong? Do you want us to move out now?"

The Soldier explained: "No, it's not that you have to move out now. It's just that a Slave came from outside just now, saying his master, Chengqie, wanted him to come find his guards, saying they are all people of the Suiren Clan. We thought about it, and that's you guys, so we came to find you."

The Leaders were immediately a bit excited: "Yes, yes, yes! That's coming to find us! It's Chengqie, it's Chengqie!"

The Leaders were all very excited, and immediately began to pack their things. They were about to leave this place to find Chengqie. Finally, their lives had a direction; they knew where they were supposed to go.

Seeing this, the Soldier knew they were in a great hurry, so he said: "Then take your time packing. The person is at the main gate; you just come over."

"Alright, thank you, brother!"

Once the Soldier left, the group of Leaders were all excited: "The Leader is looking for us! He's looking for us! Let's pack up quickly and go!"

The few of them packed their luggage at the fastest speed into very standard shapes, then put them on their backs, and even formed a column before running toward the main gate.

Huang had been terrified and uneasy. He did not know what Chengqie would say, and whether he would be punished by Chengqie after returning for his failure to handle the task well was unknown. Therefore, Huang felt very afraid.

The person who went to inquire also found Chengqie's residence at the fastest speed and indeed obtained a truthful answer from Chengqie, confirming that Huang's actions were grounded and reasonable. Therefore, it was decided that he would be released after returning.

Chengqie also did not feel that Huang had caused him trouble. Mainly, when Huang was there just now, he had told him that the military camp was very strict and that he might be punished if he went, and now it was just a matter of asking a few questions, which was perfectly appropriate.

The Leaders and the person who went to ask Chengqie arrived almost at the same time. The Leaders did not recognize Huang, and after knowing he was a Slave, they did not show much enthusiasm; they were only excited because they knew their Leader was looking for them.

"Huang, we have already confirmed that your master did indeed arrange this task for you. Now that you are here, press your fingerprint, and you can leave."

Huang was very excited, and then he also saw the registration book. In his column, it was only written "Chengqie's Slave." For this introduction of Huang, he only needed to press his fingerprint to confirm that he was the person who had come.

After the registration book was signed, he was asked to sign a special case disposition report. It contained a complete introduction of the decision from discovering him to the final resolution and handling, which was very detailed. Huang could not help but read it through, but the Soldier who asked him to press his fingerprint was a bit impatient: "Why are you looking for so long? Just press your fingerprint here. Can you even read?"

Huang hurriedly pressed his fingerprint on the place where his name was written, but he still asked with a trembling voice: "Can you read it to me, what is written on this? I really want to know. I've already pressed my fingerprint on it; what if it's something else..."
