"Isn't it good?" Chidori looked at Ziyan: "Aren't you killing horse bandits also killing, haven't you seen it yet?" There are so many beggars and wanderers along the way, it must be because the war has no choice, we might as well go with the flow, and just take a slave away when the time comes, isn't it?"

"Not good!" Ziyan frowned, ready to go out and kill those horse bandits.

"Don't pretend! You want to kill them earlier, why do you still listen to me and hide?" Chidori took Ziyan's hand.

Ziyan pulled Chidori's hand away: "Because I want to save those slaves." ”

After saying that, Ziyan rushed out and killed a few horse bandits, and the rest fled in fright when they saw this.

Chidori frowned, came to Ziyan's side, and said dissatisfiedly: "As far as you are noble, those dart teams are not human lives?"

Ziyan's hand that was about to open the box trembled: "Not next time." After saying that, he opened the box, and saw many smaller people crowded inside.

Ziyan looked at the children carefully, their hair was black, their skin was very white, most of their eyes were blue or brown, and most of them looked very cute.

"Come out. Ziyan said to these children, who looked no more than eleven or twelve years old.

"Isn't the language barrier......" Ziyan saw that they didn't act, guessed this possibility, so he gestured for them to come out.

These children looked at Ziyan with their eyes open, but they didn't dare to move, and they seemed to be very scared. ”

"Scared?" Ziyan realized that his appearance might be a little scary, so he asked Chidori to come: "You look gentle, you can come." ”

Chidori reluctantly walked over and said impatiently: "Come out quickly, what are you doing inside?"

When the children heard this, they immediately crawled out one by one, but they seemed to be struggling, and their legs seemed to be numb.

Seeing this, Ziyan stretched out his hand and hugged them out, counting them carefully, there were twelve girls and six boys in total.

"Alright, you can all go. Ziyan said.

But the children all looked at Ziyan and did not move.

"You don't understand me, it's troublesome, how to say it. Ziyan looked at Yu Qianniao and asked for help.

"How do I know. ”

"We get it. Suddenly, an immature child's voice sounded, Ziyan lowered her head, and it was a cute girl with black hair and blue eyes.

"If you understand, why don't you go?"

"Where are we going?" the girl asked.

"Go home. Ziyan squatted down and said.

"The house is full of people with swords, and they don't want to go back. ”

"So where do you want to go?"

The children shook their heads.

"It's better to be at home than to be a slave. ”

"The teacher who taught us to speak told us that we would be maids and maids of rich and noble families, and we would not go hungry. ”

Ziyan's hands trembled: "But there will be your parents at home who love you." ”

The children just looked at him and didn't answer.

"They're already dead under the Iron Rider, aren't they?" asked Yu Qiandoi.

The children nodded.

"We were brought here when we were wandering, we had clothes to wear and food, and we didn't go hungry. The girl said, "It's much better than at home." ”

Ziyan lowered his head and was speechless.

"So, being a slave is at least better than starving. Yu Qianniao looked at Ziyan and said.

"It wasn't the slave traders who killed them. Ziyan said coldly.

"How do you know?" asked Yu Qianniao rhetorically.

"Isn't it obvious? For profiteering. ”

"Hehe, I said, what about the cost? Won't those tribes resist? Merchants can indeed form an army, but at present, the main force of the army of Inuma has been recruited by the state to fight against foreign countries, for these tribes, if it is small, it is fine, but large tribes, it is difficult for merchants to form an army to conquest, once an army is formed, the cost of food and equipment purchase will be extremely high, and it may not be successful. ”

"How do you know, if the merchant goes to those wanderers, won't it be cheap?" Ziyan also asked rhetorically.

"What about the combat effectiveness? What about the horses? What about the food and lodging? What about the equipment? Even if it is cannon fodder, if the plunder fails, the price is that all the equipment and horses are robbed by the tribe, and the low combat effectiveness is not to recruit them, right? Don't you need time to train them? Moreover, the war itself will produce these homeless people floating around, and the merchants are not powerful sect forces, so why bother to form those thankless armies? Where the war was skipped, there were such slaves everywhere that could be found, as long as the aliens who flowed back and hired someone to train the basic language of communication, for food, they were willing to learn, it was slavery that gave them a second life!"

"Well, trust you for now. Ziyan bowed his head and said.

"And what about these people?"

"Sell it. Ziyan said.

"Are you stupid? These were originally for those powerful slaves, how are you going to dispose of such a large number? What if you are tracked down? Originally, we could just let those horse bandits take away, we can take one at random, sell it, and we can get a good profit, but now it is tricky. ”

"Then what do you say?" Ziyan asked.

"I don't know!" Yu Qianniao looked into the distance angrily, obviously angry at Ziyan's approach.

Ziyan squatted on the ground and buried his head, he had never thought about these questions before.

Time passed little by little, and Yu Qianniao walked up to Ziyan: "Get up, I have an idea." ”

"What?" Ziyan looked up at Chidori.

"A few boys were sold to merchants, and girls were sold to brothels. ”

"A brothel?"

"It's the Qinglou. ”

Ziyan thought of 'Mirror Flower Moon' and nodded: "That place is good." ”

Yu Qianniao saw that Ziyan agreed so happily, but he felt that it was not good: "What are you thinking?"

"I think it's good, Qinglou is very good. ”

"You don't really think all brothels are as grand as 'Mirror Blossom Moon', do you?"

"Isn't it?"

"! We're going to keep it secret/dispose of, you sell it to them, of course, to those unscrupulous black brothels. ”

"Why? I think it's good to sell to those magnificent green houses?" Ziyan was puzzled.

"Hehe, what about these boys?"

"You say, sell to the merchants, and let them do the chores for the merchants. ”

"So what do you think a businessman looks like?"

"It's the ones that sell things in the shops with a lot of goods. ”

"I'm really convinced, are all the things in your head so beautiful?, are you from the nobility?" Yu Qianniao sneered.

"It's not. Ziyan denied it, but he had the impression that merchants were people who could bring strange goods, they were all wealthy and polite, of course, this was referring to the merchants who came and went from their hometown.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's take it with us and go to the next city. Yu Qianniao said.

"Let's go. Ziyan looked at the horses left by the horse bandits, there were four in total, obviously not enough to sit on these children, and the children did not know how to ride.

"Forget it, let's walk. Yu Qianniao said lightly.

"Hmm. ”

There were many people passing by on the way, and they all looked at this team strangely.

"Hey, brother, where are you going with these slaves?" A caravan came down as a middle-aged man dressed in rich clothes came down.

"Sell it. ”

"Oh, can you sell it to me?"

Ziyan glanced at Yu Qianniao, and Yu Qianniao nodded.

"Now, take it. Ziyan said.

"Huh?" the merchant was blinded.

"Ah, sorry, he meant to let you choose. Yu Qianniao pulled Ziyan back.

"Oh, that's it, I've seen this kid from afar. The merchant pointed to a boy, the tallest and strongest of the eighteen slaves.

"Okay, come here. Yu Qianniao pulled the boy over.

"How much?" asked the merchant.

"Five taels. ”

"So expensive?" said the merchant in surprise.

"Of course, he has been trained, knows our dog and horse Chinese, and is very obedient. ”

"Really?" said the merchant, half-convinced.

"Call the master. Yu Qianniao said.

"The hosts. ”

"And that's not all, is it?"

"Ask him the question yourself. Yu Qianniao said.

"Ahem, little one, what's your name?"

"I don't have a name. The boy replied.

"And where are you from?"

"White Mountain. ”

"Oh, seeing that you're so tall, you must be the one who eats the most on a regular basis, right?"

"It's fine. The boy scratched his head: "It's not a lot." ”

The merchant nodded and took out a bag from his sleeve: "Yes, that's really not expensive, so be it." ”

"Okay, you can just take it. Yu Qianniao took five taels of silver.

"Don't you have a deed of sale?"

"You laughed, he's not from the country of dogs and horses, and he's so young, what else do you need to sell your body, it's not worth spending that extra money to go to the government, you take him away, take it with you, and some people say you robbed it?"

"Yes. The businessman nodded, anyway, a child, cultivation and cultivation will be close to him, there are not so many/problems.

After successfully selling the first slave, Ziyan's team continued on their way.

"This little guy has found a good home. Yu Qianniao looked at Ziyan Dao.

"Not bad?"

"Of course, look at that guy, at first glance, he is a serious person who is willing to have a way out, and is willing to do business in a down-to-earth manner, and he is generous, looking at his subordinates, all of them are strong, the food must be good, the clothes are also warm, and he is sure to live a good life. Yu Qianniao said.

Ziyan nodded: "You make sense to say that." ”

"What makes sense, it's a fact, I learned a lot when I was in business with my father. ”

"Didn't you say you used to be a rich lady?"

"Doesn't the rich lady have to inherit the family business?

"It's also ......"

"You......" Yu Qianniao looked at Ziyan's face, smiled, got closer, and punched Ziyan: "It doesn't seem to be very smart in some places." ”

"That's why you came......"

On the trade routes, there were quite a few people who bought slaves.

"How do you sell this slave?" said a mean-looking couple.

"Four taels for girls and five taels for boys. Yu Qianniao replied.

"Girls are not too expensive. "Women pick and choose.

"Where's the price?"

"Boys are expensive, too. The man said.

"This is a high-quality slave, trained by someone, and we know Chinese, I don't think it's expensive, it's cheap." ”

"How can a girl sell four taels? The woman asked.

"That's the price. ”

The couple looked back and discussed.

Ziyan looked at the couple and asked Yu Qianniao in a low voice: "These two people don't seem to be very kind, will they abuse children?"

"In this era of war, businessmen are mostly mean. Yu Qianniao said.

"Can you see what they're doing?"

Yu Qianniao looked behind the couple and saw many women dressed in tatters, both children and adults, but they were all young.

"It could have been a slave trader or a brothel, but the first one was more likely. ”

"Why?"

"Those who run brothels are generally in the city, and if this couple really runs a brothel, it is the kind that runs errands for others. ”

The couple turned around: "Let's buy more, can it be cheaper." ”

Ziyan shook his head: "Sorry, we don't sell." ”

Yu Qianniao glared at Ziyan fiercely, and Ziyan's eyes were also very firm in replying.

"Four taels is four taels, really. "The woman doesn't have a good airway.

"Not for sale. Ziyan waved his hand, and all the children followed, leaving only the couple to scold in place.

"You're fine, are you?, why don't you sell it?" asked Yu Qiandoi.

"They don't look like good people. ”

"Hehe, you still want to find a good person?

"Why not? Isn't the first one good?"

"That's the child's luck, do you want everyone to do that? Why don't you take it to the palace and let the king buy it for you?"

"Not a bad idea. ”

"Are you crazy???"

"I'm not crazy, if I tell you, there are so many people like this in my hometown that you believe it?" Ziyan turned his head and looked at Yu Qianniao: "In my hometown, I have never seen so many wanderers, everyone is very stable, they are living well." ”

"Are you sure? No one is alive and well in these times of war. ”

"I'm sure and sure. ”

"Where is your home?" asked Yu Qianniao as he stopped and looked at Ziyan's back.

Ziyan turned his head: "In a small town on the southeastern border, if there is a chance, I will take you there." ”

"As you said, then you must take me there. ”

"Good. Ziyan looked at Yu Qianniao: "I'll take you there." ”

"Pull the hook. Yu Qianniao held out his little thumb.

"Retractor?"

"If you pull the hook, you are not allowed to go back. ”

"Good. Ziyan also stretched out his hand.

...... The wolf looked at himself, Ziyan asked it, why did he follow him, the wolf was silent, just looking, and suddenly, a bloody mouth full of fangs opened in front of him.

Ziyan woke up and looked at the ornate rooms around him, only to remember that this was in Ao Fuling's room.

Ziyan looked at his chest and saw Ao Fling lying on his chest, looking at himself.

"What are you doing?" Ziyan asked.

Offling smiled slightly: "Did you have a nightmare?"

"It's not a nightmare. ”

"Okay. Ao Fling stood up and looked at Ziyan with a smile: "I'll go prepare breakfast." ”

Ziyan got up and saw that Yu Qianniao was still asleep, but he didn't see the Qin painting.

"Wolf......" Ziyan stood at the window, looking at the cattle grazing or basking in the sun on the plain, and the grassland was next to the forest, and the picture was a little beautiful.

"It didn't snow today. Ziyan looked at Sun Dao.

"It shouldn't snow anymore. The wolf said behind Ziyan.

Ziyan was startled, and turned around to see Qin Hua standing behind him.

"What's wrong with you?

"Maybe I haven't slept in the past few days. Ziyan looked at the Qin painting and smiled.

"Oh. Qin Hua also stood at the window: "I slept very comfortably, and Ao Fuling's bed was very comfortable and very big." ”

Ziyan also leaned on the window with his hand, and looked back at Qin Hua: "I haven't seen you for so long, it's rare to have a quiet morning, don't you have anything to say to me?"

"Say what?"

"Didn't you?"

"Nope. ”

Ziyan leaned closer with a smile: "I don't believe it, you and Zifei usually talk a lot, why haven't you seen each other for so long, so you don't have anything to say to me?"

Qin Hua thought about it seriously: "I want to talk to Zifei about what happened to me in the past few days. ”

"Isn't it the same as me?"

Qin Hua glanced at Ziyan, and then looked at the scenery outside the window: "Forget it, I don't have the desire to speak." ”

"Really?"

"Really. ”

Ziyan's smile froze, and he looked at Qin Hua seriously: "Then you think now." ”

"Huh?" Qin Hua frowned, looking at Ziyan's serious expression: "But I really don't know what to say." ”

"If you can't think of it, you have to think about it, immediately!"

"For example?"

"For example. Ziyan paused and looked out the window: "Senior brother, I miss you or something." ”

Qin Hua looked at Ziyan with disgust: "What? That's too numb, I don't want it." ”

"Ahem, where is this numb?" Ziyan frowned slightly, and then looked at Qin Hua seriously: "I'm serious." ”

"I'm also serious, I don't want to say it. As he spoke, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Ziyan grabbed Qin Hua's shoulder and dragged it back: "You have to say it today, if you don't want to say it, you have to say it." ”

"Senior brother, don't embarrass me, it's really too numb for me to speak. Chin Hua's eyes looked away.

"Look at me, and say it right now. ”

Qin Hua glanced at Ziyan in embarrassment, and he didn't know what kind of illness Ziyan was guilty of: "Okay, teacher... Brother, I... Miss you. ”

"And so. The corners of Ziyan's mouth rose slightly and looked at Qin Hua.

"What else?"

"Anything else, anything. ”

"What else can you say?"

"For example, Senior Brother, I miss you so much, Senior Brother, I really miss you, Senior Brother, I really, really miss you, and so on. ”

Qin looked at Ziyan like a mentally retarded person: "Senior brother, are you having a bad brain, these words mean the same thing." ”

"Hurry up. ”

"Okay, senior brother, I miss you so much, senior brother, I really miss you, senior brother, I want to kill you, senior brother, I ......" Qin Xiang chanted like a sutra, but Ziyan seemed to enjoy it.

"Okay?"

"Okay, it's the same in the afternoon. ”

"??? will ??? in the afternoon"

Qin Hua watched Ziyan walk out happily, now that he is not in a very good mood, why is he forced to say such a retarded thing early in the morning?
