Chapter 40: The Little Slave

[1,000 years ago] Pang Lanzhou, Golden Purple Palace.

The slaves were gathered together, skinny and skinny, and the shackles on their feet were connected by chains. The soldier opened the door of the cage and dumped the crumbs of the sack on the ground, and the slaves rushed to the ground when they saw the food, frantically grabbing the crumbs of food on the ground.

After the soldier finished pouring the food, he only heard a loud "click" behind him, and a lifeless bronze soldier strode forward, the bronze man with blue fangs and a burly figure, staring at a pair of fierce blood-red eyes, and carrying a bronze giant axe in his hand.

Behind him was a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes in a red mink coat and a little girl who looked to be only four or five years old.

The little girl had an angelic and beautiful face, dressed like a golden peacock, a mink coat studded with dazzling jewels, and curly silver hair tied with a gold ribbon over her shoulders and adorned with sapphires. Her eyes were deep and clear, with a maturity that did not match her age, and her golden pupils shone like diamonds.

When the soldier saw the girl and the man in red, he hurriedly threw down the food bag in his hand and knelt on the ground to salute. The little girl did not look at him, her eyes swept over the mess around her with some disgust.

"I'll take Her Royal Highness the princess down to choose a slave who is worthy of my heart. The man in red said in a sharp, shrill voice.

"Your Highness, these are domesticated slaves, please take a look!" the soldier got up and led them to a quieter iron cage in the corner.

The little princess walked to the iron cage, and the slaves inside knelt respectfully on the ground with their heads bowed, and they were dressed in tattered clothes, and most of their bodies were covered with dense scars. She motioned for the soldier to open the cage and walked in on her own. The man in red hesitated, then covered his nose and followed.

The princess circled around the cage and finally fixed her eyes on a little girl about her age with curly hair like hers, and she turned to the man in red and said, "I like her black hair." ”

"It's too young...... "The man in red looked at her with some embarrassment.

The little princess crouched down, and the little girl knelt on the ground with her head buried deeply, her hair was messy, her body was covered with whip scars, and her little hands were clutching the corners of her clothes, looking very nervous.

The soldiers uncuffed her, and the princess asked her men to drape her in clean clothes, and led her into her own car, which was pulled by two huge golden rhinoceros, whose eyes gleamed with a fierce red light.

The little princess didn't say anything all the way, the evening breeze gently stirred the green silk curtains in front of the window, she quietly looked out the window, the car drove quickly through the lush wheat field, and the wheat seedlings sparkled in the afterglow of the setting sun. The slaves working in the fields were all handcuffed, and not far from them, the identical bronze soldiers whipped the slow slaves with long whips in their hands.

The man in red picked up a flask from the small gold-encrusted table in front of him, poured a glass, and drank it all.

"What kind of wine are you drinking?" asked the little princess curiously.

"It's not necessarily wine in a flask, my highness," the man in red looked up and smiled wickedly, his chin was pointed, and he had a knife-like mustache on his chin, "I'm allergic to alcohol, that thing can kill me!"

"And what are you drinking?"

He raised an index finger in front of his mouth, and said to the little princess in a mysterious way: "It's tea, my highness, but you have to keep it secret for me!"

The little princess was a little bored, and she turned her head to look at the little slave beside her, who sat there stiffly and motionless, with her head bowed humbly, and her eyes fixed straight at the ground beneath her feet, like a little lifeless stone.

"What's your name?" she asked.

"Back to Your Highness, my name is Xia Yuqian. She spoke in a single tone, without any emotion, and though her head was tilted towards the princess, her eyes were still staring straight at the ground.

"How old are you?"

"Four years old. ”

"What ethnicity are you?" she asked.

The little slave did not speak.

"Your Highness, most of the slaves like them have been abandoned by their clansmen and have no clan status. ”

"Have you been abandoned by your people?" asked the little princess, holding her cheek in one hand, with interest, "why did you abandon you?"

The little slave still didn't speak.

The little princess stretched out her hand and turned her little face in her direction, "From today on, you will be a member of my Enma clan!"

The man in red glanced up at the princess, sneered and shook his head.

It was also from that day that a little slave named Xia Yuqian became the personal maid next to the Enma Princess......

Pang Lanzhou, Golden Purple Palace.

The man in red walked into the main hall, and on either side of the hall stood two identical columns of identical bronze soldiers, each dressed in armor, with green fangs, holding a giant axe, and their pupils as scarlet as if they were stained with blood.

"Your Highness!" he knelt on the ground and saluted to the golden-crowned man in a black royal robe on the top of the steps, with a pair of golden pupils and bloodless skin, and a royal robe studded with jewels and diamonds, sitting on a throne made of thousands of gems, and the stones around the throne were stacked like hills, spreading all the way down the steps.

Hearing the voice of the man in red, the pile of brilliant jewels beside the emperor suddenly trembled, and a golden lion and a silver snow fox quietly drilled out from under the thick jewels on both sides of the throne, staring at His Highness with blood-red eyes.

"The barbarians of the Xuan Realm seem to be a little uneasy lately, and on several occasions they have refused to pay tribute. ”

As soon as his words fell, the golden lion and the silver fox opened their bloody mouths, revealing sharp white teeth.

"Kill those who don't pay tribute, kill their leaders first, and then hang their heads to warn those people!"

"Yes, but Your Highness, the Terrans in the East of the Xuan Realm have been very closely connected with the Spirit Race recently, and my subordinates are afraid that they will join forces ......."

"What's so terrible about joining forces between wastes?Prime Minister, if you don't have enough people under you, ask the ghost woman to assimilate some bronze soldiers," he pointed to the identical bronze soldiers next to him, with a terrible smile on his face, "Assimilate all those slaves you captured from all over the world, these bronze soldiers don't know pain, and they don't fear, but they are the best weapons!"

"But Your Highness, it is becoming more and more difficult to collect slaves nowadays, because the number of human beings is decreasing day by day......"

"What does it matter if they live or die, Lone, who only knows that in order to continue the bloodline of the Enma clan in this world, any sacrifice is worth it!" he roared with wide eyes and almost madness.

"Brother, why are you so angry?" There was a bewitching voice from behind the throne, and with a "rustle" sound, a white-haired witch suddenly sat up from the pile of jewels, she was covered from head to toe with dazzling jewels, her skin was as white as paper, but her pupils were also golden.

"Yan Mei, you're awake. Seeing her voice softened instantly, the Yama King sat down in his arms, her pointed golden fingers around his neck and pointed at the man in red under the throne.

"Prime Minister Yu, as an ordinary human being, you have got what you are today because of your brother's trust, and now it's time for you to repay your brother, I believe you won't let your brother down. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will definitely do their best!" After hesitating for a moment, Prime Minister Yu added: "However, Your Highness, there have been rumors in various clans recently, saying that someone has seen a giant dragon in the east, and the Spirit Clan has just given birth to a golden phoenix recently, and this dragon and phoenix twin is probably a bad omen for us......"

A disdainful smile rose into the corner of Yan Mei's mouth after hearing this, "Prime Minister Yu! The reason why rumors are rumors is rumors is precisely because there is not sufficient evidence! Not to mention that even if they have a giant dragon and divine phoenix, we still have a weapon that they can never defeat!"

"Do you mean the golden jade knife?" the man in red showed a slightly surprised look on his face,

"That's right," Yan Mei said and raised her head, "Three months ago, we had already sent bronze soldiers to capture two boys and girls who met the requirements, performed sacrifices, and completed the last step of the entire ceremony! Now, as long as my elder brother gives an order, my clan can gather 800,000 forbidden troops, and at that time, whether it is the Xuan Realm human or the Spirit Clan, it will no longer be possible to pose a threat to us!"

Yan Mei stood up after speaking, the golden pupils in her eyes burned with dazzling golden light like raging fire, "The Enma clan will never be destroyed!"

As soon as the words fell, the golden lion and silver fox roared angrily, resounding throughout the entire hall.
