The Boss Your Majesty Is Looking For Has Always Been Me. Chapter 2
byTest slowly
The return journey was indeed unbearable for the captives.
Qin Zhi was a general and had a “single room” in the prison car, so he was given special treatment.
Others were not so “lucky”. Three or four people squeezed into a car, the smell of sweat ran through their noses, and they sighed one after another.
Even so, Qin Zhi, who was tall and slender, still felt uncomfortable in the narrow prison car while wearing large shackles.
Whenever he felt uncomfortable, he thought about King Jiang – and King Jiang’s promise.
If this continues, they are afraid that they will collectively die of heat stroke, and there will be no talk of surrender.
Fortunately, it was time for the returning army to rest where they were.More than a dozen Jiang Guobing, who was guarding the prisoners, gathered in a pile to eat dry food and replenish water.
Qin Zhi’s lips were so dry and chapped that they bled, and if he licked them casually, his mouth would taste like rust.
I can’t bear it anymore.
He knocked on the prison car with a wooden stick he picked up somewhere. “Please come over, please, and give us some water to drink.”
The hoarse voice made Jiang Guobing frown, “Don’t show off your duck voice. The prisoner still wants water? You have to kowtow to thank us even if you don’t get a whip.”
“…”
Qin Zhi thought about it, since it is a test, there is always a way to solve it.King Jiang would not kill them of thirst and starvation from the beginning.
But now, do you want him to keep his integrity, or do you want him to shamelessly apologize?
“Hey, even though they are quite powerful, they are not going to be the ones to lead the expedition themselves. I heard that our Majesty killed eight fast horses and came here just to capture them.”
Whatever comes to mind.After Jiang Guobing finished eating and drinking, he started chatting to pass the time.
Qin Zhi slightly lowered his head, then turned his face and raised his ears——
“You don’t know, right? His Majesty is here to look for someone…”
The voice sounded familiar. Qin Zhi looked up and saw, oh, it was the soldier who least wanted to see him. That soldier was all tanned. Let’s call him “Brother Black Carbon”.
“Looking for someone? Your Majesty still needs to look for someone personally?”
Brother Heitan stretched out his index finger and said “Shhh” and lowered his voice, “I overheard this, so don’t make any noise. It is said that he is a half-immortal from Xunxuanhui Valley.”
Qin Zhi’s ears twitched and he curled his fingers unconsciously.
“Xuanhui Valley? Half-immortal?” Several Jiang Guobing changed their expressions upon hearing this and remained silent. Only two recruits still asked curiously, “What is that? Are there really immortals in this world?”
“They are not real gods, but capable people. Countries also call them ‘celebrities’.”
Brother Heitan was very considerate to the recruits and explained dutifully, “According to legend, the people trained in Xuanhui Valley are all capable people with extraordinary talents. The valley is opened every thirty years, and only the top three strongest disciples can leave the valley.”
Recruit: “What are you doing out of the valley?”
Brother Heitan: “Choose a wise king to bring order to troubled times.”
“Is this… considered their mission? But what good does it do to them to calm down the troubled times? If I finally get out of the valley, I might as well be free and happy.”
The recruits didn’t have a family and had no worries. If they could go back alive this time, they just wanted to not waste their good years and enjoy themselves in time.
Brother Heitan smiled knowingly, “They are different from us ordinary people. They seem to have a reason to do this. As for what the reason is, I don’t know.”
Another recruit had an idea, “Huh? They are so powerful. They all choose the same master, work together to complete the mission, and then do what they want to do.”
Brother Heitan shook his head, “No.”
“Why.”
Brother Heitan sighed, “Xuanhui Valley has its own rules. The three people leaving the valley cannot choose the same monarch. They are in competition with each other.”
“Then there’s only one winner?” the recruit asked.
“Yes. The one among them who chooses the destined monarch and assists him to bring peace to the troubled times is called the ‘winner’. It is said that the ‘winner’ can get the treasure of Xuanhui Valley.”
“Ultimate treasure?” The recruit’s eyes shone, “What treasure?”
“Cough cough cough…” Brother Heitan covered his mouth unnaturally and coughed twice, “I talked too much today, let’s talk another day.”
“Another day? I’m afraid you don’t know.”
Joking sounds came from the prison car. Jiang Guobing followed the sound and saw the captured young general, holding a stick in his mouth, laughing wildly at them.
“I don’t know, do you know?” Brother Heitan approached the prison car and tightened his grip on the whip around his waist.
“Yes. I know.” Qin Zhi took the stick in his mouth and rubbed it in his hand, then grinned, showing his big white teeth, “I’ll tell you, how about you let me and my brothers eat and drink enough.”
“Then how do I know whether what you said is true or false?” Brother Heitan asked.
“Hi. Is what you just said true?” Qin Zhi smiled without reservation, “Xuanhui Valley is a legend to begin with. Just listen to hearsay and enjoy it, no matter whether it is true or false.”
Seeing that Brother Heitan was wavering, Qin Zhi leaned over the railing of the prison car and said softly, “Besides, your Majesty may think that I am from Xuanhui Valley when you come back. It will do you no good to thirst us to death.”
Brother Heitan’s face suddenly became unnatural. King Jiang threw the prisoner to them. Although he didn’t explain how to deal with it, he didn’t say he would treat him harshly.Just in case…
“Okay. Then tell me, what is the treasure of Xuanhui Valley?” Brother Heitan finally relaxed.
“Long, life, method.” Qin Zhi said every word with a serious expression.
“Eternal life?” The recruit’s eyes lit up.
“Yes. Most of the disciples in Xuanhui Valley are those who are born with deficiencies or die young. Extraordinary talents naturally come at a certain price. The winner who emerges from the valley will be able to obtain the method of immortality and inherit Xuanhui Valley.” Qin Zhi said firmly.
The recruit couldn’t help but nodded, “My grandfather said that capable people and strangers usually don’t live long if they are jealous of God. I believe him.”
Taking into account King Jiang’s ambiguous attitude, Brother Heitan went down the steps and asked people to bring water bags and pancakes to distribute to Qin Zhi and others.Although the amount is small, it won’t fill your stomach, but it will last you a few days.
Qin Zhi smiled and said: “Thank you, big brother. If you want to know other legends about Xuanhui Valley, just ask me.”
After that, he raised his head and emptied half of the water bag.When he swallowed, his slender and white neck was like a crane, coupled with his unusual face, which made Brother Heitan unconsciously move his Adam’s apple.
When Qin Zhi finished drinking the water, rolled his eyes and handed back the water bag, Brother Heitan suddenly remembered the voice he heard outside the tent yesterday – His Majesty had clearly intended to favor the prisoner at first.
He imagined the scene of this beautiful young man being “ravaged”, something felt hot, and his face became “fired”.
They were both men. When Qin Zhi saw Brother Heitan’s unusual appearance, he understood and smiled brighter, “Brother, return the water bag to you.”
Brother Heitan felt a gust of cold wind blowing by, making his neck feel cold.He came back to his senses, met the captive’s eyes, and his hair stood up instantly.
The young man was obviously smiling, but it made him feel an inexplicable chill.
“Eat and drink, please be more honest from now on.” He took the water bag, cursed and returned to his original position, but he always felt like a light on his back.
Could it be that… this young general is really from Xuanhui Valley?
In the middle of the night, the secret guard Leyou appeared in King Jiang’s car.
“How?” The king closed his eyes and was adjusting his inner breath.
“He knows a lot about Xuanhui Valley, and he used that information to exchange water and food.” Le You reported back all the conversations between Qin Zhi and Brother Heitan.
“He didn’t mean to run away?” King Jiang asked again.
“No.” Le You thought for a moment and said, “Our guards are quite strict. Do you want to…”
King Jiang waved his hand, “No. The people of Xuanhui Valley shouldn’t be stumped by this little guard.”
“But just in case, he is better at literature than martial arts…” Le You hesitated.
“Then let’s test it slowly. Gu, I have plenty of patience to spend with him.”
