Chapter 1164: Thoughts One Should Not Have
"You are a Slave, what more could we possibly do to you? Stop asking so many questions, don't worry about so much; this is just the process of how you came here today and were caught by us. If you hadn't acted like a thief, would we have needed to go through the trouble of writing this thing? Do you think we wanted to write it?"
The Soldier was also a bit fired up because he had to write such a report for no reason; after all, no one wants to write such things for no reason, and it didn't even earn him any merit—it was just an accidental incident.
Being roared at like that, Huang naturally became obedient and dared not speak again. He knew how to read and wanted to ask that just to see if these people would lie to him; it was just a very strange psychology at work, and he didn't even know why.
The Leaders also felt embarrassed and hurriedly pulled Huang away: "Alright, hurry up and take us to see Leader Chengqie!"
Huang was now afraid of everything, so he had no choice but to hurriedly lower his head and then lead the way for the few Leaders with quick, small steps.
This time, the Leaders exited the military camp gate without any obstruction. Once they were out, they began to take deep breaths—this was the feeling of freedom! They had been trapped inside for dozens of days and hadn't even touched a woman; it was agonizing. Now that they had found Leader Chengqie, they must make him help them find plenty of women.
Out of the military camp, everything looked fresh and delightful, and they hadn't had the chance to properly look at Huaxia City; now they finally had the opportunity to take a look.
"Hey! Why are you walking so fast? Are you in a rush to die? If you want to die, I'll kill you right now!"
The Leader shouted loudly at Huang. Huang also had grievances he couldn't voice: you asked me to take you to see Chengqie quickly, and now you say I'm walking too fast—so am I supposed to walk or not?
Furthermore, they kept saying they would take his life, even though his true master, Chengqie, had never said such a thing. Although he was a Slave, he was an Advanced Slave and very valuable. Given his current abilities, if he could go to other tribes, he could absolutely make a tribe develop rapidly, yet now he was being threatened and insulted by a few people from the Suiren Clan.
But Huang had no choice; his status as a Slave determined everything. So, he had to slow his pace again, slowly accompanying these Leaders to tour Huaxia City, and from time to time, he even had to explain to them where this was and what it was for. Every time he answered, Huang had the feeling of talking to country bumpkins.
Talking and walking along the way, it was not easy for Huang, but he persisted until they reached the courtyard. Chengqie had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the group of Leaders being brought back, he was also beaming with joy: "Oh my, you have finally come; I have been waiting for you for a very, very long time!"
He glanced at Huang again: "Huang, go quickly and prepare some food and drink, serve them a little."
"Yes, Master!"
Huang fled from this group of fools as if escaping, feeling that he could finally avoid them for a while.
"How do you feel about your training during this period? Do you feel now that the Huaxia Soldiers are very formidable?"
Those Leaders wanted to say words of contempt for the Huaxia Soldiers, but after such a long time of living and training together, they couldn't say it. Moreover, they were indeed only at the level of the worst Huaxia Soldier, and now they had only reached an average level, or perhaps even slightly below average. If they said they had far surpassed the Huaxia Soldiers, they really couldn't say that.
"Leader, this, well... the Huaxia training is indeed very formidable. During this time, we have also learned a lot, our abilities have become much stronger, and they even gave us Weapons."
"Leader, tell us, what big event are you preparing to do by calling us here now? Is it to kill Baifeng? Now that we have such good Weapons, we can completely do it."
Chengqie's expression suddenly changed, and he slapped the table hard: "What crazy talk is this? Are you trying to die? We are now Huaxia people, and Baifeng is our King. Why would you think about killing him? What are you trying to do?"
"Leader, Leader, this, this..."
"How did you, suddenly..."
The Leader who proposed the idea just now was left at a loss by Chengqie's sudden outburst. No one had expected that in just a few dozen days, Chengqie's change would be so great. He had actually completely accepted that he was a Huaxia person. What kind of magic did Huaxia have that could actually change their Leader Chengqie?
But since Chengqie was their Leader, then whatever he said was the truth; they had no power of choice. And, if they really had to kill Baifeng, they would have to consider it carefully—this might not be a simple or easy task. Up to now, they didn't even know where Baifeng lived.
Chengqie stared at them directly with his vicious gaze, and all the Leaders obediently lowered their heads. Seeing that his deterrent power was still sufficient, Chengqie nodded slowly.
"I called you here because I do have a task to entrust to you, but it is not in Huaxia; it is to have you return to the Suiren Clan once. However, looking at you like this, your understanding and perception of Huaxia are still insufficient, and you cannot complete the task I have for you."
"The task starts tomorrow. You need to set off for the Suiren Clan tomorrow, so I think today, you should just take a good look around Huaxia, walk around, and understand Huaxia more first."
"Tonight I will test you with some questions. Only those who answer correctly can return to the Suiren Clan and complete the task I have for you. Furthermore, if you complete it, you will receive very generous rewards. If you cannot go, and haven't even passed my test, not only will you not get any rewards, but you will also receive punishment."
"Think about it, you have stayed in Huaxia for so long, yet you know nothing about Huaxia, and what's more, you live here, eat here, and yet you still want to kill the King of Huaxia."
"Let me tell you, from now on, you had better behave yourselves. No matter what you are thinking, in any case, we have already joined Huaxia now and are Huaxia people. My father decided this. I didn't understand it at first, but I have been in Huaxia for so long now that I have completely understood why my father made this decision. His decision is indeed very correct, and for the Suiren Clan, it is very important."
"If we don't join Huaxia, in less than a few years, our Suiren Clan might truly be completely wiped out. But here in Huaxia, it is different; we will not be wiped out, and we will only get better and better. So, put away those thoughts you shouldn't have."
