Chapter 449- Roadblock

Before Yi Shi was settled on the top of the wall, more people arrived on the wall. They were from the Yi family.

They were very surprised to see Yi Shi here. Usually, Yi Shi barely showed up and they almost forgot he existed.

“Ooh, Yi Shi’s here! Why are you here? Not working at the farm?” one of them teased.

The Yi family had the least land compared to the other great six families. By the Ji family’s standards, they were poor bastards who had no land. Even if they had other resources, no land meant they were poor. However, the Yi people did not think so. They thought only talentless people worked in farms. The smart ones were all sitting at home collecting cash.

That was why to these few Yi people, Yi Shi was the stupid one.

Perhaps in the past, these people were not ranked as high as Yi Shi in the family. The situation was different now though. No matter how useless they were, they could still sit at divination street and do readings. Yi Shi did not have this ability and merely relied on his ancestors to get a small piece of land.

That was why Yi Shi was only a minor figure now. These people did not take him seriously, mocking him.

Yi Shi was not provoked, instead explained, “I just came back from the farm. I heard there’s going to be a show here so I came to watch.”

The rest did not want to continue the conversation. The tower looked quite full and they did not want to stand on the wall like a guard.

When they left, they noticed the bag Yi Shi carried with him. When they remembered that he had just returned from the farm, that bag must contain money!

They knew Yi Shi helped people with accounts at the farm and looked at the bag tied to his waist, Yi Shi must have earned a lot this year!

Their eyes darted around. One guy turned.

“It’s meaningless to watch the show here like that. What about we do something fun,” he offered.

“Like?” Yi Shi looked at him.

“Why don’t we place a bet. I heard the Lu family will fight that… who? They’ll be fighting.” The other person had already forgotten who the other side was.

“I heard they’re fighting two Flaming Horn tribesmen. Isn’t this fight… a little… inappropriate?” Yi Shi said with a frown.

“Inappropriate? Hasn’t it always been like this?” The other guy did not think much of it. He had already seen too much of this. The strong bullied the weak in this world. If you didn’t have the numbers, why would you go around upsetting people? And if people came attacking, that would be your fault.

No matter what the cause was, these bystanders did not care. They were just here to kill time.

“Didn’t the Lu family lose previously? I think they might not even win this round,” said Yi Shi.

The other person was stunned for a moment then grinned. “So you’re saying the Lu family will lose?”

“I think… so.” Yi Shi did not sound sure.

“Then let’s bet on it!”

“Bet what?” someone interjected.

“Oh, it’s Yi Bing!” he said in a tone completely different from what he used on Yi Shi. As if he was sucking up to Yi Bing.

Yi Bing was clad in a grey-white outer coat. He’d just arrived at the top of the wall and he was interested in a bet too.

Yi Bing was different from Yi Shi. While he had no land, he had been living well for a while because he was good at divination. More importantly, he had a capable father. He was probably higher-ranked than Yi Shi in the family.
