C303 – Someone From the Flaming Horns Tribe

Posted on November 14, 2018 by AzureOrchid92

In Su Gu’s hand, the piece of square block of gold was shining brightly under the sun. Even if it has been shelved for so long, no other variegated colors tainted it.

Shao Xuan had no greed when he looked at the gold. He was more curious. He really wanted to take the gold to look at it closely, but, seeing Su Gu was guarding it tightly and was so excited, he temporarily gave up this idea as he waited for his mood to be stable again.

“Su Gu, have you seen enough? We’ll go on with our departure if it’s enough.” Near the oasis, Shao Xuan was feeling thirsty rather than wanting to admire the gold under the sun. He was more willing to go to the oasis to find a shade and drink some water as they take a rest.

From Shao Xuan’s words full of composure, Su Gu returned to himself from staring fascinated at the stone in his hand. He quickly rewrapped the gold and put it in a close-fitting inner pocket. Today, he had worn clothes with a dark bag sewn on the inside, to specifically use to hold such things.

After Su Gu got up, he walked only two steps when he felt that something was wrong. Turning his head to sideways to look at Shao Xuan, he eyed him up and down, carefully observing Shao Xuan’s expression, careful not to miss any details. But in the end, Su Gu helpless sighed, as he really did not see from Shao Xuan’s face even a little greed and fascination. It seemed that it was just a common stone for him rather than a piece of treasure.

“Don’t you think that stone is so addictive?” Su Gu couldn’t help asking.

Shao Xuan shook his head, “I don’t think so.”

“How is that possible?!” Su Gu looked at Shao Xuan again, still confused right then.

Someone could resist the charm of it?! This made Su Gu surprised. At the same time, he had some doubts. Was it only himself that thought that the stone was great? If that’s the case, when this gift was given to his father, what if the king didn’t like it?

Shao Xuan’s reaction made Su Gu’s previous convictions waver. In the end, was it himself giving it too much value, or Shao Xuan having no eyesight?

“When you saw it, wasn’t there a special feeling?” Su Gu asked.

A special feeling? Shao Xuan thought, he was surprised, but just that.

Seeing the expression of Shao Xuan, Su Gu did not give up his questioning. “You did not feel that this stone has a strange feeling like standing on the top of the palace, looking down?”

“I have not been to your palace.” Shao Xuan said. While he said those words to Su Gu, inside, he speculated the other’s feeling. When Su Gu saw that piece of gold, he could see rights and wealth. The first time he had seen gold, Su Gu would unexpectedly have such thought, like a master a city. But if you showed it to Lei and Tuo, those two people would probably be more confused than Shao Xuan, thinking that this “stone” was not as important as a piece of meat.

“Then, do you think, if I gave this stone to the king, he will he like it?” Su Gu asked.

“I think he should like it.” As the king of the city, naturally, he has absolute ambitions. His pursuit of power and wealth was even larger than other people. Even if it was only his first time to see gold, as long as the preference of King Su Lun was the same as Su Gu, then he would certainly like this “stone” that reflects a golden light.

Su Gu wanted to take it out to show to the other three and see how they would react, but thinking about it, he decided that they could wait until they returned.

Going ahead, they could see some scattered grass, which was very conspicuous on this sandy land. After seeing a lot of sand, a pinch of green grass could also make the people feel infinite vitality.

The more they went forward, the more there were grasses on the ground. There were also some trees that Shao Xuan couldn’t name. Not far away, a dozen camels under a tree were eating grass, while some of the slaves with weapons were walking back and forth, staring at the distant desert with watchful eyes to prevent abnormal situations.

Shao Xuan and the two followed Su Gu and Wu Shi to the oasis, then a team of slaves stopped them. After the Su Gu’s explanation, Shao Xuan and the two was also able to enter.

The oasis was not too big. However, there were probably thousands of slaves stationed here in this oasis for defense, therefore it was really heavily guarded.

After entering this oasis, Shao Xuan found that there was a team of special slaves in it. There were about a dozen of such slaves, each with clothings better than other slaves. The other slaves were wearing clothes too, but most of them were tattered. Meanwhile, this dozen people’s clothes, even if there were dust and stains on it, it was very neat and had no holes. There were also patterns on the fabric of their clothes, especially the leader’s. His clothes were neat. If Su Gu did not say that those were slaves, Shao Xuan would probably mistakenly think of that one as a slave owner.

“Those are the people around father.” Su Gu explained, “Usually, there were not so many people in the oasis. But, presumably because of an accident some time ago, he just sent people over.”

Seeing Su Gu, that slave respectfully gave him a salute. Then, his eyes swept over Shao Xuan and the other two, seemingly calm, but those eyes swept as if it was a stab of a knife.

Shao Xuan felt that the other party was defensive of the three of them, and it gave him a bad feeling.

“Third Young Master, are they the Flaming Horns tribe?” The slave, who was called Ai Shi, asked.

“Yes, the three of them are the people I work with and they came with me,” said Su gu.

Shao Xuan found that Su Gu was speaking with a much better tone with Ai Shi compared with the one in his side, Wu Shi. The attitude was different.

One was following the king, while the other was following this young master, hence, their status was naturally separated by a level.

“That is, I hope third young master could stay away from the spring pool,” said Wu Shi. The tone was stiff, and there seemed no room for argument.

“Why?” Su Gu asked. Although he knew that the others should stay away from the spring, Ai Shi’s words sounded a little strange to him. Was there anything that he didn’t know about?

Ai Shi did not answer, but only gave a guarded stare to Shao Xuan’s group.

“That’s alright. Let’s go to that house over there and have a rest.” Shao Xuan did not wait there. Together with Lei and Tuo, he went to the area where people could rest. It was also what Su Gu just pointed to them as the resting place.

After waiting for a while in the sand house, Shao Xuan stayed there until an angry Su Gu returned from his not so pleasant conversation with the slave.

“How is it?” Shao Xuan asked.

“Nothing… It’s okay.” Su Gu was a little embarrassed as he replied.

“Third Young Master, I think, since we are now in a cooperative relationship, there are some things that we still hope you can tell us.” Shao Xuan said.

“Well, naturally, I know this.” Su Gu nodded.

“Then, Third Young Master, I want to ask, why is the slave so guarded against us?”

Su Gu was ready to answer, but Shao Xuan raised his palm to stop him. “Don’t say he is the same with the other tribes. The look in his eyes told me that he is only exceptionally defensive to ours.”

Just now, when that Ai Shi was inquiring, he spoke the words “Flaming Horns” a bit heavier. Apparently, there was something about their tribe that has happened but Shao Xuan’s group did not know it.

After Su Gu thought about it, he had Wu Shi guard outside, then told Shao Xuan. “Some time ago, when water was sent from the spring pond to the city, someone was hiding within the water delivery team, creating some trouble.”

Su Gu did not say much, but Shao Xuan could still roughly guessed some. “Was it that the slaves think that the assassin was related to us?”

Su Gu nodded.

“But we, the people of the Flaming Horns tribe, came with only three people, which are all known to the other tribes.” Shao Xuan said.

“I did not say it was you. If we are sure it is related to you, you would already be surrounded by slaves.” Su Gu explained.

“Then, what is it?” Shao Xuan inquired.

“Because of a person who is related to your tribe. Although, according to the standards of your tribe, he is no longer a part of it. In the eyes of slave owners and slaves, there is still a relationship.”

“Who is that man?” Shao Xuan asked.

“Dao Yu.”
