Mo Xuan's current location is Dongyang County, which is the most barren of the three counties in the northeast, which can be glimpsed from the immediate vision. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The base camp of the deception is not in Dongyang County, but in Donghan County, the northernmost of the three counties.

The three counties in the northeast have their own characteristics, Dongyang County is the most barren, bandits and robbers can be seen everywhere, Donghan County is the most fierce, often fighting without a word, Dongyun County is the most erosive, prostitutes are prevalent, and it is the most populous county in the three counties.

From here to Donghan County, even if it is non-stop, it is estimated that it will take several weeks, not to mention the possibility of encountering some tricky troubles on the way, and the time it will take even longer.

But there is no way, the teleportation array of the royal capital can only go here, and there is no teleportation array between the three counties, so they can only walk on foot.

"This place is much colder than Wangdu, and it looks even worse and poorer than that side of Cloud City. Looking at the desolate scene around him, Mo Li couldn't help but sigh.

"Located in the north, it is naturally colder, otherwise so many people would not have froze to death, and I don't know what the imperial court is doing, don't you care about the people here?" Looking at the frozen bones in the snow, Mo Xuan frowned.

"Because of this, it is called a troubled time!" Mo Li patted Mo Xuan on the shoulder and sighed.

"That's it, find some horses, let's hurry up and rush to Donghan County to find the deceptive thief!" Mo Xuan retracted his gaze and said.

"It is indeed not advisable to delay time here, but I do not know if there are stables in this vicinity, and whether there are any horse sellers. Mo Li nodded, then turned around to see if there were any horses.

The two searched for no avail, so they returned to the lonely city, but they did not find anything in the city, and finally had no choice but to walk.

Fortunately, as monks, the wind and snow did not affect them too much, and the speed was quite fast.

After driving for about five hundred miles, the outline of a village finally appeared in Mo Li and Mo Xuan's sight.

"I can finally see a figure. Mo Li's spirit was shocked, as if he had discovered a new continent.

Along the way, all they saw were ruins, either corpses or snow, and it was truly deserted.

Being in that environment for a long time, Mo Li's whole person was extremely uncomfortable, feeling very depressed, and he couldn't feel the slightest vitality.

Now, there is finally a trace of a living person, which makes Demo Li a lot more comfortable.

"This village looks quite large, I don't know if there are any horses in it, let's go, go and see. Mo Xuan's expression also moved, and he went straight to the village with Mo Li.

"When...... When ......"

Far away, you can hear the sound of striking iron coming from the village, and there is a faint shrill sound of chains dragging on the ground.

After getting closer, Mo Xuan and Mo Li could finally see the appearance of the village.

The scale of the village is very large, about 1,000 households, but the houses are very messy, the smell is overwhelming, there is no order at all, and there are constant beatings and scolding.

At the entrance of the village, a lot of wooden stakes were drilled on the ground, and many corpses were hung on them, and the death was extremely miserable, including old people, children, men and women.

Seeing this situation, Mo Li and Mo Xuan glanced at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

"Dangdangdang......"

Mo Li and Mo Xuan did not hide their figures, so they were quickly exposed to the vision of the people in the village, and the alarm bell was immediately sounded.

"Who's coming?"

In the outermost room of the village, the window was opened, and a fierce strong man poked his head out, stared at Mo Xuan and asked.

"My two brothers have come from out of town to see if there are any horses to sell in your village!" Mo Xuan asked quietly.

"Oh, no wonder the clothes are a little different from us!" Hearing this, a cold light flashed in the evil man's eyes.

"It's a guest from afar, let's enter the village, I'll sell you two good horses." Then the wicked man put on a smiling face and walked out of the house.

The moment he opened the door, Mo Xuan caught a glimpse of a little girl who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old in the room, lying on the bed scarred, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead.

The moment he saw this scene, Mo Xuan's heart suddenly had murderous intent, but it didn't explode immediately.

He wanted to see what was going on in this village.

"Supporting ......"

The fence at the entrance of the village was opened, and the wicked man went out with a few tall men to greet him, and took Mo Xuan and the others into the village.

In the village, the ground is full of potholes, feces and urine can be seen everywhere, and many ragged people are chained to every corner and eaves.

The beating and scolding that Mo Xuan heard earlier was that the evil men were whipping these people who were chained.

Mo Xuan frowned, where is this village, it is clearly a slave den!

The appearance of Mo Xuan and Mo Li made many people who were chained raise their heads.

Mo Xuan saw their eyes, which were desperate eyes, they had lost the pursuit of life, numb, dead and silent, and had no spirit to speak of.

Those who are slightly better, with pleading and longing in their eyes, may hope that Mo Xuan will come and take them away!

"Little brother is interested in these slaves, if there is, I can pick a few for you, the price is good!"

"Do you want a woman, or a man? If it's a woman, then I have a lot of it here, especially the twelve or thirteen-year-old Lori, who is very tender, hehe!"

"If you want a man, there are many, and they are all strong and strong, so they can protect you well!"

"Little brother, you first came to our Dongyang County, so I don't know the chaos here, bandits are rampant here every day, and you can't go down without a few guards. ”

……

Seeing that Mo Xuan's eyes had been on those slaves, the wicked man immediately introduced them.

"I only buy horses!" Mo Xuan frowned, showing impatience, in fact, he had a strong murderous intent in his heart.

"Okay, what you want, let's sell. The wicked man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, but the cold glint in his eyes was thicker.

After a while, the group came to a stable, which smelled fishy, and there were only a few skinny old horses, who looked sick!

"This is what you're going to sell my horse?" Mo Xuan looked at the villain and said lightly.

"Hey...... The little brother is not satisfied, let's just do it, it's freezing this day, it's already your luck to be able to get two old horses, understand?" said the evil man with a smile.

"We don't want this horse!" Murray glared at the wicked man, and he was straight into anger.

"Don't want it? hehe...... I'm afraid this is not up to you, we are here, when we come in, we must buy, we can not take things away, but the silver must be kept. ”

"If you two know each other, then obediently take out the silver, so that I can let you go, if you don't know each other, I can't say that we have to add two more slaves. ”

……

The wicked man smiled evilly, waved his hand, and immediately many people came from all directions.

"Hehe, two more young men, it looks good, but it's a pity that they don't understand the atmosphere of our Dongyang County, and they are alone and two people are running around!" said a reckless man with a butcher's knife in his hand, looking Mo Xuan and Mo Li up and down.

"Two more chains happened to come in handy today!" a strong man who looked like a blacksmith smiled faintly.

……

A group of people surrounded Mo Li and Mo Xuan in the middle.

Seeing this, Mo Xuan did not panic, but looked at the evil man who brought them in with a smile, and said: "You said that you sold our horses, it turned out that this is how they were sold, it seems that as soon as the two of us brothers came to Dongyang County, they ran into a black shop." ”

"Black shop? haha, it's a black shop, what's wrong?" the wicked man grabbed Mo Xuan by the collar and said viciously.

"You ......"

Hearing this, Mo Li was furious, and as soon as he grasped his fist, he was about to burst out, but he was unexpectedly grabbed by Mo Xuan's arm.

After giving Mo Li a quiet look, Mo Xuan smiled faintly: "I said brother, don't be so rude, okay, we are trapped here, the silver can't run, why are you in such a hurry to grab me?"

"I can give you any money or anything, just ask you to let us brothers and horses go!"

"Before that, I have a question to ask, that is, where did you slaves come from?"

……

Hearing that Mo Xuan was willing to take the initiative to hand over the silver, the evil man's expression was a lot more relaxed, and then he snorted coldly: "Those slaves, where can they come from, naturally they were caught from the road." ”

"Now that the cold winter is coming, the imperial court doesn't care about us, the three counties in the northeast, and the food here is long been insufficient. ”

"It doesn't matter if it's in the city or in an ordinary village, as long as it's a common person with no status, then there is nothing to eat, so they have no choice but to go out to gnaw tree bark, eat grass and eat soil. ”

"Countless people froze to death on the side of the road, it is a pity to die in vain, you know, each of them can be sold for a lot of money, especially those little Lori, who are deeply loved by many dignitaries and nobles, and are high-class slaves. ”

"Naturally, I can't miss such a fortune plan, so I go out every day to catch those who are looking for food outside. ”

"I'm not bad at treating them, at least I can let them drink porridge and not die on the side of the road, but recently the road is full of corpses, and it's too difficult to find the living, and we haven't had a new slave in the account for a long time, hehe!"

……

In the end, the wicked man laughed darkly, and the meaning was self-evident.

Hearing this, Mo Xuan's face was extremely gloomy.

He never expected that the people of the three northeastern counties had fallen into such a situation, and it could be said that life was worse than death.

It's no wonder that along the way, Mo Xuan couldn't see a few vegetation trees, it turned out that they were almost eaten.

Thinking of this, Mo Xuan became more and more angry at the government here, the people here have become like this, and they still don't send relief food?

Seeing Mo Xuan's gloomy expression and silence for a long time, the evil man also began to get impatient.

"I said two stinky boys, don't play tricks on me, hurry up and hand over all the money, grandpa, I can spare your lives!" the wicked man scolded.

"That's it!"

Hearing this, Mo Xuan looked up at him and grinned.

"What's okay?" the villain was stunned!

"I can kill you!" Mo Xuan said lightly, his smile getting colder and colder!
