CoPW C297 – Acting so Weird
Posted on November 3, 2018 by AzureOrchid92
After the first time that Shao Xuan saw Su Gu, he meant to cooperate with him. However, he thought that there was something a bit strange. He could not say what, but a general feeling told him that Su Gu’s strength should not only stop there.
After returning to the tribal area, because he couldn’t figure it out, when he saw the camel chewing hay, Shao Xuan thought of the idea of divination.
While the travel team was on the way, Shao Xuan also tried divination several times. He counted how many sandstorm they’ll encounter in the desert and other weather changes. As for the distant or moreplex events, he wasn’t able to predict, and the knots would be tangled in his fingers. It was not enough.
When he was tying the knots, it was not seen by other people. The knotted straws were also fed to the camel afterwards. Therefore, those who knew that Shao Xuan was knotting were only the two, Lei and Tuo.
This time, Shao Xuan only intended to try. If the ropes showed sess, then it was naturally good, but a failure still did not matter. He would just choose the best choice for the moment.
He wanted to predict something rted to the third young master, and, indeed, somethinge out. The ‘conclusion’ that came out only predicted of today’s event. It was about water being more dangerous, and that the third young master couldn’t wait to make an alliance with them and actively run to this side. Shao Xuan then said this to him, but as for Su Gu listening to it, Shao Xuan couldn’t ensure. If this third young master resisted the warning, there would be no need for an alliance.
On the other hand, when third young master Su Gu came out from the tribal area with a cold expression, he did not wander around, but directly went toward the city center.
The center of Luoye City was the ce where the ve owners live. Not to mention the very low-leveled ves of the city, very few ve owners stayed around the town area, and most were concentrated in the center of the city. But the difference here was that the king and the young masters could live in the highest pces, while the other ve owners were not allowed there by the king. Since they could not set foot there, they would be killed without forgiveness otherwise. Even with the king’s friendship, you could still find death. Hence, as long as it was not too important, it was better to abide by the rules.
Seeing Su Gu’s expression, the ves hurried aside for fear of being the target of his anger.
“Su Gu!”
Suddenly, Su Gu, who was walking onward, was called.
Hearing the voice, Su Gu frowned and with an impatient look, looked over there, “What?”
He turned to find a female ve owner wearing a blue dress with a painted blue pattern on it. Her hands also had a variety of jewelry. It was Su Ya who leisurely stepped forward and walked over to him. Behind her, she was followed by two ves, holding fruits and water.
This was one of the remaining two sisters of the king. They were the ones who Shao Xuan encountered trouble with yesterday. It was only now that she was not being carried by anyone.
“I’ve done what I promised, what about you?” Su Ya held a blue grass-juice in her hands, extending it to Su Gu. She promised Su Gu to test the ming Horns tribe, but yesterday, after returning, Su Gu’s promised gems were not delivered. Today, early in the morning, she also did not find the person, so she personally came to wait this time. She just managed to stop Su Gu now.
“I’ll have someone send it to youter!” Su Gu didn’t look at Su Ya again. After replying, he immediately left.
Looking at the back of Su Gu, Su Ya squinted andughed, “Useless, still trying to cross with me!” If it were not for those beautiful jewels, she would not bother to deal with Su Gu, a man who had no exclusive ves, and who would be driven out of the pce sooner orter.
Her sight was withdrawn from the high steps, and Su Ya carried on with the two ves. She just came to talk about their deal, and the rest of it was not important.
Su Gu walked up the steps, before entering the pce. He turned to look around.
Standing on Wangcheng Pce, one could see many ces in the city. This feeling of being above everything was what every ve owner expected.
Do you want to be king? Naturally, he was thinking about it and did not want to think otherwise. If his other two elder brothers inherited the throne, Su Gu’s own fate could be imagined. It was not so cruel before, but after the rise of the current king, a lesson was given to the ve owners, opening a new door to the aspiring ve owners. When they were at the peak, everyone who threatened them would be cut off to prevent the chance of a reversal.
Thinking of his ability, Su Gu shook a fist. Previously, his father left each of the lords equal resources. However, when this year began, there was a deflection, and Su Gu received a lot less resources. For Su Gu, this was not a good thing.
Once he was in his own residence, Su Gu took a few mouthfuls from the painted pottery cup handed by the ves.
After putting down the cup, Su Gu looked at the surrounding ves. These were the resources his father gave. No one was his own, while in these years, his two elder brothers procurred more and more ves. In addition to what his father gave, the two brothers also have some of their own ves. Compared to Su Gu here, who still has the same number, or rather, he had less, since some of the ves have died for various reasons. He could not have his own ves because he was notpetent enough.
Upon seeing these ves, Su Gu’s chest had some tightness. He then waved his hand to show that the ves should go out as they were being unsightly. After sitting down, Su Gu recalled today’s events, thinking of what that Shao Xuan from the ming Horns tribe said. He was about to continue drinking, but Su Gu looked down and stared at the ss of water. Should he drink it or not. He was thirsty, and Shao Xuan’s words were like a thorn to his side. Seeing the water, he felt like it was stabbing him a bit. Really…… this was making him angry!
Peng!
The discarded cup of water hit the ground. Su Gu swept his eyes on the ground with the ssh of water stains. In his heart, hemented: That person from the ming Horns tribe was certainly bluffing and ying with him. Feeling that he was just a waste, they deemed that no cooperation was necessary, so he just made up such a lie to deceive him?!
Su Gu wanted to put Shao Xuan’s words behind him, but every time he tried, he could not forget it. He was also afraid of death, and the more he thought of what Shao Xuan said, the more it gave him a chill.
These tribal people…
“Wu Shi!” Su Gu suddenly called.
A figure, like a ghost, appeared silently in front of Su Gu, with his head bowed respectfully, but less humbly than the other ves.
Among the resources provided by the Luoye City king to his three sons, in addition to the “pu” and “tai” level ves, there were also two more senior “liao” level ves. However, one of them was dragged into the sand by a beast in the desert in order to protect Su Gu when he was out of the city. Now, it was only this “liao” ve called Wu Shi left
“Third young master.” Wu Shi said.
“Wu Shi, I know you have some knowledge of the tribes. You said that among the tribes, there were people who could predict inauspiciousness?” Su Gu asked.
Wu Shi thought before he replied, “I heard that the tribes have shamans, and that Shaman, indeed may have that ability.”
Hearing these words, Su Gu’splexion slightly changed. So, such ability really exist.
Wu Shi’s words were not finished so he continued, “But the tribes generally would not let their shamans leave too far from the tribe. Even if they left, there will be ayer of protection. Therger the tribe, the more tightly guarded their shamans were. In many tribes, the shaman’s position is second only to their chief.”
Su Gu’s expression changed. As he thought of the ming Horns tribeing over with only three young people, naturally they couldn’t have brought their shaman. And from their looks, it could also be gleaned that they were warriors instead of shamans. That was to say…
“They’re lying to me!”
Almost only a word was squeezed out of his gritted teeth. Su Gu jumped to his feet and flipped the table, all the pottery on top of it smashing to the ground. The other surrounding ves would like to shrink themselves into an egg, not daring toe forward to clean up immediately. Although they were ves thrown over by the king, now with the young master here, they still have to act properly in front of him. Otherwise, they would be dominated and could also be ughtered. Moreover, their level was inferior to Wu Shi, hence this time, they could only shrunk up.
Su Gu smashed things in the house again, the atmosphere inside reaching a boiling point. He felt that the house was too stuffy, so he intended to go out for a walk. Once he was out of the door, Su Gu somehow thought of Shao Xuan words. He stood still in the doorway, then started pacing back and forth a fewps, before he went out two steps, and came back to roar, “Wu Shi! You’reing with me!”
Wu Shi eyes shed with surprised. This young master was very annoyed when the ves followed him. Unless he was going out of town, he would not carry ves with him as long as it was in the city. He probably felt that he couldn’t face other people with these ves. But now, he was letting them follow.
No matter what his heart thought, Wu Shi still followed.
Maybe because he also felt that this style was not his usual, Su Gu’s mind changed a few times, turning, then trotting away.
Most of the king’s pces on the high tforms were not made of stone, but wood. There was also a famous legend about the city. That even for thousands of years it would not die, thousands of years it would not fall. That it was made of thousand of immortal sunset trees.
In Luoye City, only the ve owners could use the sunset trees to build their houses. Other ves did not qualify.
The main material for building the pce was a carefully selected sunset tree, with the scent of a sunset tree lingering in the pce.
Su Gu looked at the front. There was a small pool, with his raised turtle inside.
Pool? Water? Go around it.
Several ves were holding a jugs of wine with several sharp bottoms,ing out from the cer.
Wine? Have water? Avoid it again!
A group of ves, carrying arge wooden box, came in from outside the pce. The wooden box was made from a sunset tree, which belonged to a ve owner under the Luoye king.
Seeing this wooden box, Su Gu knew that their water came.
In addition to owning the city, the Luoye king has a small oasis where the water they drink was being transported from.
Although there were a few deep wells in the city, the water was cloudy. If the turbid water from those wells were drunk for a long time, their skin would easily crack. This was one of the reasons why most of the city’s ves had dry and cracked skins.
Most of the ve owners seek for the enjoyment of their whole family, and they have higher requirements in their material life. Therefore, every once in a while, the Luoye king would let peoplee to a distant oasis for the ve owners to enjoy.
Therefore, after seeing the big wooden box, Su Gu didn’t intend to pay much attention to it at first, but thought it was also rted to “water”. Before walking again in a few footsteps, he moved his foot to take a turn towards the side and detoured.
After seeing Su Gu’s actions, Wu Shi looked at the young master with his mind extremely puzzled as he pondered: Today, third young master’s brain must have been buried in the sand* again? Why is he acting so weird?
However, after this thought about the actions not being normal, Wu Shi did not think much of it. He just followed the young master.
