Chapter 032: Slave Boy
From this position, you can clearly look at the qiē below. That's what a country is proud of. Look at the dense crowd of slaves below.
They are ** bodies one by one. In this scorching sun, sweat is like rain. Pulling the heavy wood with all his might. The rickety body struggled to move forward.
The soldier wielded whips that became particularly dazzling in the sunlight. The scars on the slaves' backs were clearly visible, and surprisingly, they were not shackled on their hands and feet. If it's a slave or something, shouldn't you have to have shackles on your hands and feet?
"Didn't they think about resisting?" At a glance, the number of slaves far outnumbered the number of soldiers. If you really resist. There's a chance they'll get away with it. Nightingale just thought something was incredible.
"Humph! Resist? Biyue sneered and didn't answer.
"Catch him." A group of soldiers shouted. I saw a child shuttling vigorously between the crowd.
Wasn't that child just brought into slavery? Nightingale was a little surprised, and sure enough, the little child was very interesting.
Many soldiers below surrounded him from all sides, and the child seemed to be calm. Insight into the surroundings of a qiē. Then she dodged countless deadly attacks beautifully.
"You can't run away." A soldier puts pressure on a child. And the surrounding slaves still didn't react at all. Just watching the kids being cornered by these soldiers. Nightingales slowly understood why they didn't have shackles on their hands and feet. for their hearts are in bondage.
"Ten princes, don't go over." A child of about the same age appeared in the Nightingale's sight. He was followed by two soldiers, a small Si.
"You don't have to worry that I just want to see the new slaves and talk to them." The child, known as the Ten Princes, had an innocent expression on his face. Someone who is completely different from the slave who has just been brought. It's like the look of a teenager.
"Ten Princes, how can you come to such a filthy place, this place is dangerous. There are lowly slaves everywhere. Please hurry back. The head of a soldier guarding the slaves earnestly persuaded the little prince.
It can be seen from the eyes of these soldiers that this so-called Ten Princes is very loved by the people. It seems that there is also a certain weight in this country.
"Don't worry about me, I just want to talk to them and it'll be fine." The child still had a big smile on his face. It's very reassuring to watch.
Although the soldiers looked worried, they still had no choice but to let the Ten Princes walk over.
"Don't follow me, I'm alone." After the Ten Princes finished speaking, they trotted into the crowd. Leaving the guards behind was the soldier's hesitation in place.
In the end, whether to follow or not, if you do, it is to disobey the orders of the Ten Princes. If you don't keep up, I'm afraid that something will happen to him. After all, it's all slaves. If suddenly there is a riot or two. That's not within my control.
The soldiers here can't be left or right. Over there, the Ten Princes scurried around like a curious baby.
The slave child who had just been brought in looked at the child who was walking towards him. This kid is about the same age as himself. Look at how she's dressed. It is estimated that he is a young master from a large family.
The slave child focused his gaze on the little one. If you use him as a hostage. I should be able to get out of here safely.
"Are you a new slave? Can you tell me about where you live? The Ten Princes asked the slave child with a curious expression.
The slave child did not answer the words of the Ten Princes, and rushed over with an arrow. Grab the hair of the Ten Princes. Draw a dagger from the sole. The dagger rested on the neck of the Ten Princes.
"Stand down, or I'll kill him." The eyes of the slave child are like wild beasts, and they are very fierce. Completely inconsistent with his age.
What a smart kid. Nightingale admired the slave child, and his behavior did not disappoint her at all. However, there was something that surprised the nightingale even more.
The slave child grabbed the Ten Princes in one hand and tried to escape from the soldiers. "Listen, little one, if you don't want to die, run away." The slave boy threatens the Ten Princes.
This ten princes are also a very interesting child, although they were held hostage. But there was no trace of fear on his face. With an excited face, he ran away with a slave child.
"The Ten Princes have been kidnapped." It's almost the same sentence for a moment. The soldiers, who had just been in a dilemma, immediately became worried. If the Ten Princes had some accidents. It reached the ears of the emperor. Then his little life will not be guaranteed.
The soldiers around the city chased in the direction where the slave children and the ten princes had fled. I secretly scolded this damn slave in my heart. actually kidnapped the Ten Princes. Isn't that asking for trouble for yourself?
"Why did you run away?" The Ten Princes asked the slave child with a curious expression. I don't know why I think this child is about the same age as myself. I don't have a sense of crisis at all.
The slave boy looked surprised, and then he turned to astonishment. Although the person in front of him was kidnapped by himself, he did not resist or be afraid. The most incredible thing is that he didn't know why he wanted to escape.
"If you are a slave, you will not have to worry about eating and drinking. At least it's better than the life of your tribes. The Ten Princes said to the slave boy with an excited face, completely unaware of the change in the slave boy.
The more the slave boy listened, the more angry he became, and grabbed the skirt of the Ten Princes' clothes. Angry eyes glared at the Ten Princes. "What are you talking about, are you saying that our tribe is poor?" The slave boy's voice completely conveyed his anger.
The Ten Princes were frightened by the actions of the boy in front of him, "No. Because even kids like you have been sent to fight. The Ten Princes tried to soothe the boy's feelings. Because the dagger that the boy couldn't put down was on his neck again.
"I'm not a kid anymore, I'm 11 years old." The slave boy was very angry, and it was really a young master from a big family who didn't know right from wrong.
"11 years old, isn't that the same as me? Sure enough, it's still a child. The Ten Princes paid no attention to the dagger around his neck. He was also excited to think that he had made a friend.
The slave boy couldn't stand it, and the young master of this big family pushed him to the ground heavily. Hold aloft the dagger in your hand. Looking down at the Ten Princes who fell to the ground, his gaze became very firm. "At this age, I'm already a warrior. It's not a child. For the sake of the tribe and the more afflicted people, it is necessary to kill all these rulers. ”
"Why do you hate the ruler so much?" The Ten Princes felt a little incomprehensible, because the people around him liked him very much, and suddenly someone said that they wanted to kill him, which made him feel incredible.
The slave boy turned to look at the slave below, "Our tribe aims to treat people equally, but what about you? Don't treat people as human beings. What this slavery is like. Our tribe will never allow such a thing to happen. ”
The Ten Princes looked at the boy in front of him, and he still looked confused.
However, the slave boy turned around and pointed his index finger in the direction of the Ten Princes. The gaze became resolute. "All people are equal. It seems that he did not hesitate to die on the battlefield for this belief.
The Tenth Prince's body trembled slightly. At that moment, I only felt that this boy was very tall and dazzling.
