Chapter 180: The Slave Trading Ground
Su Ruoxi saw all the way that there were many people like her, wearing strange masks.
After asking Mu Qingshan, she learned that some people were hunted down to avoid being chased and killed after making enemies, while some people were unwilling to reveal their true identities.
There is no strict system in the ghost market, and it is very free and chaotic as well.
"Cousin, do you know where the prince is? Take me to him. ”
Su Ruoxi searched for a while, but did not find Mu Zihan's figure, so she could only ask Mu Qingshan for help.
Mu Qingshan nodded and said, "He is the same as you, he also wears a mask on his face, you just look around like this, it is impossible to find him." ”
"I'll take you to a place where I'm guaranteed to find him."
Su Ruoxi also thought of this problem, otherwise he wouldn't have let Mu Qingshan bring her here.
"Where is he?"
"Slave Auction House!"
Mu Qingshan explained as he walked, perhaps because he was afraid that Su Ruoxi would lose it, he would look back from time to time.
Hearing the five words of the slave auction house, Su Ruoxi felt a little incredible.
Mu Zihan has no shortage of geeks, how could he think of going to a slave auction house to find someone? What will be the origin of the person he is looking for?
Su Ruoxi suppressed all these questions in her heart, and soon Mu Qingshan took her to a room.
The room has a small window through which you can see the scene outside.
Mu Qingshan asked Su Ruoxi to walk to the small window and look out, only then did she realize that outside the window was a circular and concave field, a bit like the Colosseum.
Around the grounds, there was a circle of rooms, each with only a small window, just like the one she was in.
At the top of each small window, there is also a number representing the room number.
Su Ruo looked at Mu Qingshan in bewilderment, Mu Qingshan smiled, and explained to her: "All the people who come here to buy and sell slaves will enter such a small room, watch the slave's table through the window, and then raise a sign at the window to bid. ”
"Look at the slave's table?"
"Well, the slaves who were auctioned, the competition between them was cruel and bloody."
"In order to select good slaves, they would put a group of slaves in the enclosure below and let them fight each other to see who would survive to the end."
After understanding the situation, Su Ruoxi felt a little surprised, if that was the case, wouldn't it be a sacrifice of many slaves.
"Do you know which room Mu Zihan is in?"
She wasn't interested in the life and death of slaves, she just wanted to know where Mu Zihan was.
Then I want to see who Mu Zihan wants to sell.
"This can't be confirmed yet, but in the rooms of Tianzi No. 3 and Tianzi No. 5, the prince is the most likely to be there."
"Can you find someone to check?"
Su Ruoxi knew that the Mu family was also one of the major forces in the underground ghost market, so she thought that Mu Qingshan might have a way to find out.
Mu Qingshan thought about it and seemed a little embarrassed, but finally agreed: "Well, I'll try!" ”
Immediately, Mu Qingshan left the house.
Su Ruoxi was the only one left in the room, so she sat on a chair and quietly observed the situation in the paddock.
After a while, she saw that all the gates under the paddock were opened.
Out of the gate came a number of slaves with chains bound hand and foot, and the slaves looked of all ages, ranging from children under ten years old to men of about fifty.
By the time the gates closed, there were hundreds of people in the paddock.
And these people are all sent by different sellers.
Su Ruoxi didn't expect that the Northern Qi Kingdom, which was in a peaceful and prosperous era, would have this way of auctioning slaves.
She quietly watched the scenes in the paddock, and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
Some weapons were thrown into the paddock, and the slaves soon went into a frenzy, pushing each other to grab the weapons, and when they got their hands on them, they began to fight.
The rules in the paddock must have been known before they came in, otherwise they wouldn't have reacted so quickly.
However, there were hundreds of slaves in the field, and less than half of the weapons were numerous.
This means that the fight is unfair, and those who do not grab weapons can only find a way to survive on their own.
In just a few moments, many people in the paddock were already lying in pools of blood.
Such a bloody scene, Su Ruoxi seemed to see an ancient battlefield.
They shouted, they roared, their eyes filled with fear, they fought back desperately, they kept killing and then they were killed again.
Although Su Ruoxi, who was used to seeing bloody scenes, was a little unable to calm down at the moment.
She tilted her head, not wanting to look any further.
At this time, Mu Qingshan returned to the hut with a booklet in his hand.
"Cousin, I've already found someone to confirm, the prince is in room No. 3 of Tianzi."
"I know you must be wondering how the prince came here, so I found a list of slaves with the names of all the slaves, already their backgrounds. You see, maybe it will be useful to you. ”
As he spoke, Mu Qingshan handed the roster in his hand to Su Ruoxi.
Su Ruoxi thanked her very gratefully, this thing is indeed very useful to her.
So, Su Ruoxi no longer looked at the situation in the paddock, but began to carefully look through the slave roster.
The register is very detailed, not only with the slave's name, gender, age, and nationality, but also with their background.
Su Ruoxi looked at the names one by one, and after reading the entire roster, the identity of a slave in it caught her attention.
"You Long, male, forty-three years old, a person from the Northern Qi Kingdom, a court attendant."
This You Long was actually a guard in the palace once? Although I am a little older, I ......
Su Ruoxi thought for a while and asked Mu Qingshan, "Cousin, do you know which slave in the enclosure this person named You Long is?" ”
She wanted to see if this You Long was still alive and how his appearance was.
Mu Qingshan looked out of the small window for a while, then pointed to a person below who looked quite big and said, "Look, it's that person!" ”
Because You Long was very big, he was very eye-catching in the crowd, and Su Ruoxi saw him at a glance.
So, she began to observe the appearance of this dragon.
Intuition told her that what Mu Zihan was looking for was this person!
From the fight to the end of the battle, in less than a stick of incense, there were only five people left in the stomach and intestines, and You Long was one of them.
Su Ruoxi saw that although You Long was still alive, he was already covered with scars, and the upper half of the **** body was bloody.
Presumably the other four, he should be the worst one.
Seeing this situation, Su Ruoxi felt puzzled in her heart, You Long's martial arts were not much better than Mu Zihan's secret guards.
She didn't understand what Mu Zihan was looking for this person so excitedly.
