The Jin Long Wei's team leader was named Sun Jingrui. Sun Jingrui was also a Jin Long Wei elite. He was tall and looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. He looked very powerful.
The near-horned beast he was riding was also very powerful. When the two-story tall beast stood in the crowd, people subconsciously took a step back. The beast was too oppressive.
"Little old man welcomes the High Ambassador. It must have been hard on you."
The Lian tribal clan's Patriarch and a few tribal elders, including Zhang Dali and the other members of the warrior preparation camp quickly squeezed out of the crowd and bowed.
Sun Jingrui glanced at the Lian tribal clan's Patriarch with a rather amiable expression.
Along the way, Yi Yun did not mention his relationship with the Lian tribal clan's ruling class. Sun Jingrui only knew that Yi Yun and Lian Chengyu were incompatible, but he did not know that the people bowing were Lian Chengyu's supporters and henchmen. If not, he would not have given them any face.
After the Patriarch bowed, he looked up and glanced at the five behemoths behind Sun Jingrui, hoping to find Lian Chengyu's figure.
As a Jin Long Wei member, Yi Yun's near-horned beast was ranked fourth in the team. Because of the near-horned beast's size, he was quite a distance away from the Patriarch.
Although it was a distance away, he should have been able to see it clearly.
But today, Yi Yun was wearing a flying fish robe with a Yanchi saber by his waist. He looked heroic and handsome. When he changed into this attire, even Zhang Tan, who knew that the person in front of him was Yi Yun, was stunned for a while before he recognized him.
Clothes make the man. Wearing different clothes made one's temperament completely different.
Hence, the old Patriarch did not recognize Yi Yun. It should be said that this luxuriously dressed youth was riding a behemoth. Compared to the bumpkin Yi Yun, it was a world of difference. So he did not even think of Yi Yun.
The Patriarch hurriedly glanced at Yi Yun. Yi Yun's extraordinariness and youth made him sigh. He felt that the Jin Long Wei was full of heroes. Looking at him, he was young and promising. It made people envious and jealous!
Then his eyes. According to experience, the Lian tribal clan's participants were not qualified to ride the near-horned beasts. They could only sit in the baskets and look up. Due to the angle, they could not see what was in the baskets.
As for the warrior preparation camp members in the basket. At this time, they looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
With Lian Chengyu in such a state, they were eliminated in the first round and returned with a crushing defeat. In front of the entire village, they were too ashamed to show up.
If they had successfully pledged their allegiance to Yi Yun. He could even flaunt his status as Yi Yun's henchman. However, Yi Yun did not like them at all, causing them to be in an awkward position.
The Clan Elders did not recognize Yi Yun. However, there were people who saw Yi Yun. For example, Zhou Xiaoke!
As Zhou Xiaoke was constantly looking for Yi Yun, she noticed him even though he was quite a distance away.
When she saw Yi Yun dressed in a flying fish robe, her mouth opened like a quail's egg. That … Could that be … Brother Yi Yun!?
Zhou Xiaoke grabbed Aunt Wang's hand tightly, unable to believe it.
At this time, Sun Jingrui waved his hand and two large baskets fell from the near-horned beasts. The baskets landed heavily on the ground with a dull thud.
Bags of food and meat wrapped in oilcloth rolled out of the baskets.
The Patriarch was stunned seeing the food!
The surrounding people of the Lian tribal clan stared blankly.
They were completely stunned.
Food! Meat!
Heavens, was this a dream?
For people who starved to death every day and didn't know when they would starve to death, suddenly seeing food and even meat was a fatal temptation to them!
Starving people would do anything for a mouthful of food.
The Old Clan Leader trembled with excitement. "Lord … Lord High Ambassador, these rations … are they all for us?"
Sun Jingrui lightly said, "That's right, it's for the people of the Lian tribal clan. Your Lian tribal clan has contributed to the Kingdom by nurturing a genius. Not only will you be conferred the title of Kingdom Knight, you will also have a chance of becoming a human lord in the future. You will be conferred the title of Marquis! This is the Lian tribal clan's luck! Your Lian tribal clan has done a meritorious deed, and because Lord Thousand Households heard that your tribe is starving, he has rewarded you with food! "
When Sun Jingrui said those words, especially the words "conferred the title of Kingdom Knight", the Patriarch was shocked. He trembled with excitement and tears streamed down his face.
Conferred the title of Kingdom Knight … I didn't hear wrong, did I?
The Patriarch wanted to shout out loud.
"Chengyu … has been conferred the title of Kingdom Knight!"
When the Clan Elders heard the news, they were so excited that they felt like they were forty or fifty years younger. It was as if they had returned to their wedding night.
Kingdom Knight was a noble!
Although they lived in the vast wilderness, they knew the concept of nobility. Furthermore, the Jin Long Wei's Ambassador had said that Lian Chengyu had not only been conferred the title of Kingdom Knight, he could also become a human lord in the future! Only a marquis or general was qualified to be called a human lord!
The Heavens really had eyes!
The surrounding people were extremely excited. They knew that once Lian Chengyu became a Kingdom Knight, he would have a fief, and they could live a good life in the city.
Originally, they thought that the conferment of a Kingdom Knight was too difficult, and they would have to continue living in the vast wilderness for a period of time. Unexpectedly, Lian Chengyu had become a Kingdom Knight in one go!
"Young master Lian is amazing."
"Of course. Don't you know what kind of person our young master is? When young master was born, the entire yard was covered in red clouds. It was a vision from the heavens! Young master Lian is a star that descended from the heavens. He is destined to be rich in the future! "
A woman surnamed Lian said with a beaming face. She and Lian Chengyu were related by marriage, so how could she not be happy?
"It's not just rich. Didn't you hear what the Ambassador said? Young master Lian will be conferred the title of Marquis in the future! Young master Lian became a Purple Blood Warrior at the age of seventeen. I wonder what realm he will reach in the future! "
"The Lian family is going to be rich! I had a dream last night. I dreamed of a field of golden paddy. I saw a nest of magpies flying to the Lian family's entrance. They kept chirping. I knew it, it's a joyous occasion! This is a joyous occasion that brings glory to our ancestors. We will also benefit from it! "
Another woman was chattering away. Many girls were looking forward to Lian Chengyu becoming a Kingdom Knight. Being a maid in a Kingdom Knight's fief was much better than starving in the vast wilderness.
Sun Jingrui, who was sitting on the near-horned beast, was dumbfounded when he heard the discussions of the people. He did not expect the Tao tribal clan's Patriarch and the people to have such a reaction.
He stroked his chin and turned to look at Yi Yun.
Sun Jingrui had thought that Yi Yun was here. Yi Yun was here, dressed in a flying fish robe, equipped with a Yanchi saber, and riding on a near-horned beast. It was obvious who had become a Kingdom Knight. Was there a need for him to say it?
Now, Sun Jingrui realized that these people did not recognize Yi Yun at all!
Sun Jingrui suddenly wanted to laugh. This kid Yi Yun had no sense of presence in the Lian tribal clan.
"You sure are miserable." That was what Sun Jingrui's expression meant.
Yi Yun saw through Sun Jingrui's thoughts and gave him a helpless look.
The people and Patriarch of the Lian tribal clan could not be blamed for being stupid. Although there were ten people participating in the Kingdom's selection, in their hearts, there was only Lian Chengyu. There was only one Lian Chengyu. The others were just there to make up the numbers.
They had never thought that there would be any warrior preparation camp members. Or that Yi Yun could pass the Kingdom's selection.
So when Sun Jingrui mentioned the conferment of a Kingdom Knight, they could only think of Lian Chengyu, and it could only be Lian Chengyu!
Especially in the hearts of many people, Lian Chengyu was a Purple Blood Warrior! How could others compare to him?
Besides, they did not know that Yi Yun's flying fish robe and Qilin belt were the symbols of a Kingdom Knight. With the knowledge of the people of the vast wilderness, they thought that Yi Yun was a Jin Long Wei warrior like Sun Jingrui.
Preconceived notions naturally led to this misunderstanding.
"Lord Ambassador, Lian Chengyu is my cousin's grandson. Oh … did he follow you back?" The Patriarch looked like he had drunk a jug of wine. He was so excited that his face was flushed red.
Sun Jingrui looked oddly at the old man and nodded, "He's back …"
"Ah? Then where is he? "The Patriarch found it strange. Since Lian Chengyu was back, why wasn't he seen?
"You want to see him …" Sun Jingrui looked at the old man with a sympathetic gaze.
"Of course …" The Patriarch felt something was amiss, but he quickly thought of a reason to explain the situation. He said, "Lord Ambassador, could it be that Chengyu is also in reclusive training at this time? After all, as a Kingdom Knight, he receives the country's salary and resources, so he has to contribute to the country. If he doesn't train hard, then he will disappoint the Lords and disgrace the title of Kingdom Knight. Training is more important, so I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait for Chengyu to finish his training. "
It seemed that Lian Chengyu was too hardworking. The surrounding people were amazed. No wonder Young master Lian had such great achievements. He was talented and hardworking. While they were rushing, he was in reclusive training. Of course he was powerful.
Sun Jingrui shook his head, "I didn't go into reclusive training. I say, why aren't you guys carrying him out from the basket? What are you doing?"
Sun Jingrui shouted at the few people from the Lian tribal clan preparation camp who were huddled in the basket.
An ugly daughter-in-law had to meet her in-laws.
The members of the Lian tribal clan's warrior preparation camp helplessly peeked their heads out and carried out Lian Chengyu, who was foaming at the mouth from the bumpy journey.
The people of the Lian tribal clan watched curiously as the members of the warrior preparation camp carried out a half-dead person and hung him on the basket. The person's eyes were lifeless and he was foaming at the mouth. His body was limp, like a dead dog being sold in the market.
And he looked, why … why … why did he look like … Lian Chengyu?
The people of the Lian tribal clan were dumbfounded!
Many of the Elders were completely dumbfounded.
There was complete silence!
After a moment of silence, a trembling voice said with uncertainty, "He … he's Young master Lian?"
"Impossible! How could Young master Lian be like this! "Some people refused to believe it.
But the Patriarch was Lian Chengyu's grandfather. Even if Lian Chengyu was in such a state, he could not not recognize him.
"Chengyu! Chengyu! " The Patriarch panicked. He could tell that it was no ordinary injury. Even Lian Chengyu's mind was in trouble!
"Chengyu, what happened to you?" The Patriarch's voice began to tremble. "Chengyu, weren't you made a Kingdom Knight? Say something! "
"Patriarch … Lian Chengyu wasn't made a Kingdom Knight …" A man from the warrior preparation camp who was carrying Lian Chengyu said in a speechless manner, "Lian Chengyu was crippled. His meridians were severed and his martial arts were crippled. He has lost the qualifications to be a Jin Long Wei."
"What!?" The Patriarch's head buzzed as he nearly fell! "Liu Tie, what nonsense are you talking about!? Lord Ambassador just said that Chengyu had been made a Kingdom Knight! "
Being questioned by the Patriarch, Liu Tie did not stand on ceremony. He threw Lian Chengyu away and said, "Lian Chengyu is crippled! Patriarch, accept reality … As for the Kingdom Knight, he's right in front of you. You just didn't see it clearly! "
Saying that, Liu Tie signaled Yi Yun with his eyes.
Only then did people's gazes turn to Yi Yun.
At first glance, he looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, they were completely shocked.
There was silence again. After a while, someone said with uncertainty, "Yi Yun! He's Yi Yun!? "
"Yi Yun, could the Kingdom Knight that the Lord Ambassador mentioned be him? How can it be? "
People were shocked. The Lian woman, who had said that Lian Chengyu was a star that had descended to the mortal world, seemed to have suffered a great shock. She shook her head and said incoherently, "Impossible! Impossible! He's just a bumpkin, he's just a bumpkin! How can he be made a Kingdom Knight? It's impossible! "
After saying that, Sun Jingrui frowned. Before he could say anything, Liu Tie's eyes moved and he jumped out of the near-horned beast's basket.
"F * * k, who are you calling a bumpkin!?"
Liu Tie landed on the ground, took three steps, and slapped the woman surnamed Lian across the face!
"Pa!"
With a crisp sound, the woman screamed and fell to the ground from the slap.
"You dare insult Young master Yi, you must be tired of living!" Saying that, Liu Tie took a step forward and stomped on the woman's fat face. The result was a pig-like scream. The woman's face had been stomped into a dye house.
Everyone was shocked. Liu Tie was very satisfied. He clapped his hands and turned to Yi Yun. He immediately put on a fawning expression, "Young master Yi, please dismount your mount."
Seeing Liu Tie's expression, it was as if he wanted to kneel on the ground and be a stepping stone for Yi Yun.
Liu Tie understood that although Yi Yun did not want him to be a henchman, he could not be discouraged. He wanted to show his determination to be a henchman. He wanted to completely break ties with the original ruling class of the Lian tribal clan. By doing what Yi Yun wanted to do and making Yi Yun happy, he might really become Yi Yun's henchman in the future.
Yi Yun looked at Liu Tie and was speechless. This was the norm in the Lian tribal clan's warrior preparation camp. They did not have much ability, but they were good at bootlicking. It could only be said that it was a trend. What kind of master determined what kind of servant.
Yi Yun jumped down from the near-horned beast!
His body was light and landed on the ground without stirring a speck of dust. Only the Yanchi saber made a metallic sound. This sound made the surrounding people and the Patriarch of the Lian tribal clan tense up. They subconsciously took a few steps back.
Looking at Yi Yun up close, he looked even more imposing. He was like an unsheathed sword. No one dared to look straight at him.
The aura of heroism and nobility, as well as the pressure from his status and strength, made the foreheads of the Lian tribal clan's elders drip with sweat.
Now, they had confirmed one thing. Yi Yun had been conferred the title of Kingdom Knight! From now on, he was a noble. Compared to them, the difference was like heaven and earth!
