The sun was very hot, and the huge fireball in the sky almost roasted people.
Ren Baqian knelt on the ground with sweat dripping down his forehead. His bald scalp reflected the sunlight as if it was covered with a layer of wax.
It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but that he didn't dare to move as the two knives were placed on his neck.
He didn't know what had happened and how it had turned out like this.
Looking at the people around him, who were dressed in an ancient style but were different from the historical era, he guessed that he wasn't on Earth.
Three minutes ago, Ren Baqian was still wearing a singlet and eating instant noodles and surfing the internet in his rented apartment. The next second, he appeared here with a bowl of instant noodles in one hand and a pair of chopsticks in the other. The chair he was sitting on was still there.
However, the environment was completely different.
Everything that was familiar to him was gone. He appeared in the middle of a road with marching troops on both sides.
His sudden appearance had also startled those people.
There were shouts and the sound of long knives being unsheathed.
Following which, two knives were placed on his neck.
After that, he knelt here. The bowl of instant noodles was half a meter away on the ground. It was mixed with the soil and emitted a tempting aroma.
He didn't have the thought of a man having gold under his knees. Or perhaps it should be said that the burly soldiers around him, as well as the shining weapons in their hands, as well as the austere atmosphere of the army, made his mind almost go blank.
He seemed to be in the marching troops. When he landed, he happened to be in the marching troops.
"Who are you?" A two-meter tall man in armor stood in front of him. His small eyes were filled with coldness. Ren Baqian suspected that if he said anything wrong, the other party would chop him up with a knife.
"Ren Baqian!" Ren Baqian didn't know what to say. Right now, her mind was in a daze, and she subconsciously said the name.
"Why are you here?"
"I don't know either!" Ren Baqian said with a sad face. If crying could change his current situation, he would really cry in front of the other party.
"Chop!"
Ren Baqian was scared out of his wits when he heard this word. At the same time, he felt that the two knives on his neck had left their original positions and that his head would fall to the ground in the next second. He quickly roared, "Stop!"
Ren Baqian had never thought that he could make such a loud noise.
The man waved his hand, stopping the two blades that were about to fall.
"What else do you want to say?"
Ren Baqian could feel the wind created by the two steel sabers stabbing into his neck, causing a slight pain.
His mind spun rapidly as the aura of death pressed down on him, almost suffocating him. From the tone of the man just now, Ren Baqian was certain that he really wanted to behead him. Not to mention the two steel sabers behind him.
"I … I want to see your boss. I know how to read, I know math, I know how to farm, I know how to smelt. I'm a talent, and I'm here to work for you."
Ren Baqian quickly shouted out all the things that he knew in his mind. He looked at her expectantly, hoping that she would change her mind.
That soldier lowered his head and looked at him. Ren Baqian could see the corner of his mouth curling up into a smile, but no matter how he looked at it, it looked like an evil grin.
"Kill him."
"Stop, I haven't finished speaking." Ren Baqian was scared out of his wits. Did this soldier only know how to say the word "behead"?
"What happened? Why did you stop? "Suddenly, a female voice came from the back of the group. A woman in the same armor rode over and asked in a deep voice.
"Wait a minute." That general waved his hand again to stop the two sabers behind Ren Baqian.
He turned to the back of the group, cupped his fists, and said, "Reporting to the general, when we were advancing, this person suddenly fell from the sky and into the group. I suspect that this person is an assassin and am preparing to behead him in public. "
"I'm not an assassin, I'm a talent! A real talent, please don't kill me, "Ren Baqian shouted at the top of his lungs. At this moment, there was no chance for him to defend himself. If he was not careful, his head would fall to the ground in the next second. Therefore, he could only think of the word "talent" that would give him the highest chance of survival.
Even if the other party didn't care about talent, he could still arouse their curiosity and let them listen to what he had to say, right?
Throughout history, no matter where it was, there had always been preferential treatment for talented people.
Furthermore, Ren Baqian knew that he was still somewhat capable. At least he had learned math, physics, and chemistry. He also knew a lot of miscellaneous things and should be able to find something that would interest the other party, right?
"Noisy!" That soldier turned around and kicked Ren Baqian in the chest, sending him flying. He lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't catch his breath. He almost thought that he was going to die.
The female general rode her horse to Ren Baqian and looked down at him. She said, "Bring him to the side of the road and check the surroundings. If there are no problems, continue forward and I will report to the emperor. "
"Yes," that soldier replied. Then, he added, "Drag him to the side of the road and send a team to check the surroundings."
Ren Baqian was dragged to the side of the road like a dead dog. At this moment, he couldn't be bothered to resent this person for kicking him. Instead, he secretly looked around and thought about how to save his life.
He was surrounded by soldiers armed with sabers and guns. It was impossible for him to escape. He reckoned that his head would fall to the ground in less than two steps.
Did he hear the female general say "emperor"? Was she referring to the emperor?
He had to think about how to save his life.
First, he thought about how he came to be here and concluded that he didn't know.
However, he already knew that he happened to be in the middle of the marching troops and was extremely unlucky. Even if he fell into the forest, his chances of survival would be higher, right? He was already considered lucky that they didn't hack him to death the moment they saw him.
Secondly, these people spoke the same language as him, which was a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, he would have been thrown to the side of the road and fed to the wild beasts.
Looking at the way these people were dressed, they were indeed not from the past dynasties that he knew of. They didn't look like they were from ancient China. Could they be from another world?
It seemed like they were in a feudal society and their productivity shouldn't be too high. There were still many things in his mind that were valuable to this world.
Furthermore, he knew so many poems, songs, novels, and things that could be eaten and played. Being a sycophant was also valuable.
He had to think of a way to let that "emperor" know how useful he was to him so that he could save his life.
Ren Baqian knelt by the side of the road and his mind was in a mess. After the inspection, the troops continued to move forward. Then, they saw a large cart coming from afar.
The rolling wheels pressed against the dirt road and made a dull sound.
But, what was pulling the cart???
Ren Baqian looked at the beast in front of the cart. It had the head of a lion, the antlers of a deer, the eyes of a tiger, the body of a moose, the scales of a dragon, and the tail of an ox. It was at least two meters tall. Ren Baqian widened his eyes and said, "Is this a kirin? A living kirin? Pulling a cart? "
He originally thought that he had arrived in a world similar to ancient China. How did a kirin appear? Furthermore, it was pulling a cart?
Damn it, could it be that he had arrived in a world with high martial arts?
The kind that could easily destroy the heavens and the earth and shatter mountains and seas with one punch?
