The three of them decided to go to Shixiangzhai for dinner. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It was the guy who ran the hall last time, and he saw the three of them walking up the steps from the door from a distance, and quickly greeted them.
Because Jin Mukui rewarded him with 10 silver coins last time, but seeing that they were dressed in tatters, he was also very impressed by Xia Yun, and seeing that the clothes he was wearing were brand new, he even changed his face with a happy smile, bowed his head and complimented: "Ladies and gentlemen, please come here, this little brother who came last time is not a mortal at first glance!" ā
Xia Yun also sneered and shook his head, secretly saying in his heart that this person was really powerful and thick-skinned, and he didn't answer his words, so he went inside.
The three of them found a table on the street on the first floor and sat down, and the man who ran the hall made a pot of tea and put it on the table, and asked at the table, "What do you want to eat?" The shop has excellent fresh fish...."
"Don't eat fish!" Xia Yun and Mu Xiucai called almost at the same time.
"It's okay if you don't eat fish! We have all kinds of wild game here, flying in the sky, growing in the mountains..."
"That's it!" Mu Xiucai stopped the guy who ran the hall, looked at Wang Xiaowu, and said, "Five fat people, come on!" ā
"Hey, hey!" Wang Xiaowu smiled proudly and said, "I know you can't order it!" When it comes to what to eat, it depends on my fat brother! We are also the characters who have eaten the banquets of the famous upstairs! ā
Mu Xiucai just shook his head indifferently: "You have recently added another problem of bragging!" ā
The guy who ran the hall also looked at Wang Xiaowu with a snicker.
"Then let's have a spicy crispy duck first, then a mushroom pheasant, stewed bamboo shoots, jade belt shrimp, fried fat beef..."
The names of these dishes made Xia Yun stupid, and looked at him with admiration: "Fat brother, how do you know so many dish names!" Have you really eaten it? ā
"Where's the word!" Wang Xiaowu smiled, the fat on his face piled up, his face became more rounded, and he gave a thumbs up and pointed at himself: "Of course, my brother is good at eating!" Hehe. ā
Brother Xiucai's unremitting sneer!
The three of them were drinking tea when they heard a sudden sound of gongs and shouts coming from the street, and the noise was unusual.
Mu Xiucai looked over, and saw a long procession coming from the street, in front of which were several big men in green clothes, all with tigers on their backs, with faces full of meat, with leather whips in their hands, and vicious eyes in front of them, and in the middle were some slaves in ragged clothes who were chained together with many chains.
"It's a slave trader!" Mu Xiucai said to Xia Yun: "There are often some big slave traders who sell slaves on the street in the form of street tours. ā
When the residents on the street heard the sound, they also came out to see the excitement, standing on both sides of the road, talking about it, so lively!
Xia Yun couldn't help but feel pity when he saw these slaves: "The fate of slaves is really tragic! ā
Brother Xiucai also sighed: "Yes, like these middle-aged male slaves in the front of the team, they are generally bought as livestock and used to do some heavy physical work, such as plowing the land, chopping wood, mining in the mountains, etc., they are not full of food and clothing, so they are not allowed to rest, and some will even die of exhaustion!" Among the female slaves, some of the better ones will be bought by their masters as maids or concubines to serve the dignitaries; The little slaves and old slaves at the end of the line, the small ones may be resold from the time they leave, and the old ones may be thrown into the street or even the wilderness to die as soon as they get sick! It's tragic! ā
Xia Yun clenched his fists vigorously after hearing this, and asked Mu Xiucai: "Brother Xiucai, you are well-informed, how can you abolish this hateful slavery system?" ā
"Abolition of slavery?" Wang Xiaowu looked at Xia Yun with wide eyes, "Brother Yun, your ambitions are really ambitious!" ā
"Slavery is also hundreds of years old on the continent, and it is deeply rooted!" Mu Xiucai touched his lips, pondered for a while and said, "If you want to abolish slavery, you must start with the ruling class!" Like the great nobles of the Purple Cloud Empire, the earls and dukes of the fiefdoms, and the royal families of the Purple Cloud Empire! Only when they give orders and resolutely carry them out can they hope to uproot this towering slavery! ā
Xia Yun listened to what Brother Xiucai said, and a wave of enthusiasm also rose in his heart, he must abolish this harmful slavery system from the root!
"The dish is coming!" Wang Xiaowu's nose was very smart, he had already smelled the fragrance of the vegetables, and immediately drooled, and watched the guy who ran the hall bring up a few dishes: "You two hurry up and eat, it's cold for a while, and the taste is not good!" ā
Although Xia Yun and Mu Xiucai were very indignant, but with their current ability, they could only express their thoughts in their hearts, and when they turned around, they saw Wang Xiaowu with both hands, holding chicken legs in one hand and duck neck in his hand, and his big mouth couldn't stop, and his mouth was full of oil!
"'Eat without words!' Five fat man, you are really.... No etiquette at all! ... Alas! Mu Xiucai looked helpless!
"It's good to have fun, pay attention to... So much for what? ā
"That's right, Brother Xiucai, just eat happily!" Xia Yun was also on the side to persuade himself
"It's still Brother Yun's fun! Haha" Wang Xiaowu took a bite of the minced meat that he hadn't finished and fell on his clothes, and he picked it up again and stuffed it into his mouth.
Brother Xiucai suddenly closed his eyes.
At this moment, a dozen more people suddenly appeared from the other end of the street.
Opposite the large group of slaves, there were five or six men at the front, all of them in the same yellow jackets and black boots.
Seeing a few big men on the opposite side to open the way, not only did they not back down, but they also stood in the middle of the road and blocked the road!
In the ranks of the slaves, a big man immediately came up and shouted, "Get out of the way!" Who's in the way? Don't want to live anymore, don't know whose team this is? ā
"Huh!" The man in yellow who opened the way in front smiled coldly: "What are you guys? Dare us to give way and open the dog's eyes! As he spoke, he took out a sign and lit it up to the man!
"Xuan-rank second-grade swordsmith!"
The big man immediately put up a smiling face, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Don't dare, don't dare!" ā
He ran back to the back and reported, and soon a richly dressed slave trader appeared.
The man had a fat head and big ears, a greasy face, a big belly and no feet, and trotted all the way to the front, smiling at the man who led the way!
The yellow-clothed two men waved their hands at him, and the slave trader immediately said a few words to his men as if they had been granted amnesty.
The two men in Tsing Yi who were guarding the slaves immediately shouted to the slaves behind them, "Get out of the way!" ā
Then the slaves were separated, and they could not stand on the street, so they had to drive the slaves into the alleys, and the momentum just now was swept away, but at this time they were in a hurry, and they were very embarrassed!
"Who is that?" Xia Yun asked when he saw this scene.
"It should be some swordsmith in this Falling Star City!" Mu Xiucai pointed to the sign that the man in yellow put away: "That brand should be a symbol of his identity, the second grade of the Xuan Rank, four stars!" ā
"The swordsmith of the second rank of the Xuan Rank is so powerful?" Xia Yun asked puzzled.
