Chapter Seventy-Six: The Horse Thief
Chu Xiangwan was the last to get into the carriage, and as soon as she was thrown into the carriage, the carriage started. As soon as I looked up, there were many women in the car, some of them laughing and some crying, with different expressions, but they didn't speak, but stared at Chu Xiangwan in unison.
"Hey, you're also from our Cuiwei Pavilion, why haven't I ever seen you?" A woman asked curiously.
"Woo," her mouth was still gagged with cotton cloth, Chu Xiangwan couldn't speak, and she also had questions to ask.
"Yinghuan, don't move, she must be gagged because Mother Hua is afraid that she will talk nonsense." The woman who spoke just now wanted to help Chu Xiangwan take the cloth off her mouth, but was stopped by another woman in a yellow shirt.
"Sister Jin'er, it's okay, we've all left Cuiwei Pavilion, it's so noisy on this street, who can hear the sound of our car." The woman turned to Chu Xiangwan again and said, "Sister, I'll help you take the cloth down, don't shout and scream." ”
Chu Xiangwan nodded, so he could finally breathe heavily. She couldn't wait to ask, "Where are we going?" ”
"Don't you know, this is going to the border."
"What are you going to do at the border?"
"We were all chosen by Mother Hua to be military prostitutes."
"What, military prostitute?" When Chu Xiangwan heard these two words, he was a little dazed, thinking that his ears had heard it wrong.
"Which border to go to?"
"Which other border gate? If it is peaceful today, only the war with the Xiongnu in the north continues, of course we will be sent to the military camp of the Rui prince. The woman named Jin'er just now said indifferently.
Chu Xiangwan was quiet all of a sudden, and finally knew what the "general" and "happiness" in Mother Hua's words before meant. Are you going to be a military prostitute with Brother Yao? The dignified Empress of the Great Zhou would actually become in this situation? What would happen if Brother Yao saw him? And her Kai'er, no, she can't go to the border, she has to go back to the palace to explain everything to the emperor, and her Kai'er can't fall into Fu Qingwu's hands. Chu Xiangwan began to struggle, she wanted to take off the rope in her hand, and wanted to jump off the carriage.
"Hey, what are you doing? Don't move. The woman named Yinghuan supported Chu Xiangwan's body.
"Please help me untie it, I can't go to the border, I want to go back."
"Sister, I can help you untie the rope, but you can't go back, you see," Jin'er lifted the curtain and signaled to Chu Xiangwan, "We have already left the city gate, and it is getting late, and the city gate has been closed, no one can enter the city." ”
The rope had been untied, and Chu Xiangwan didn't think about it, so he was about to lift the curtain and jump down. Ying Huan grabbed her hand and said anxiously: "Don't, sister, don't be impulsive, the escorts outside are all the nursing homes of Cuiwei Pavilion, before we reach the destination, we can have less, if someone wants to escape halfway, they will not be merciful, and you will suffer." ”
Chu Xiangwan sat back in place, what she was thinking about was that she still didn't act rashly, and waited until everyone was resting before looking for an opportunity to escape.
"By the way, sister, you don't look like a person from our Cuiwei Pavilion, how could you be sold by Mother Hua to the border?" Ying Huan liked Chu Xiangwan very much at first sight, so she took her hand and asked.
"I was kidnapped."
"Huh? It's too much for Mother Hua to still do the masturbation business. Ying Huan was very angry, she was bought back by Mother Hua from the traffickers, so naturally she could only make a living in this Cuiwei Pavilion, but this sister was a beautiful lady at a glance, how could Mother Hua force Liang to become a prostitute.
"No matter what you did before, in the future, you will only become the lowest military prostitute in the barracks like us." Jin'er looked at Chu Xiangwan, this woman was very beautiful, more than anyone here, making people feel threatened. She volunteered to go to the border gate, because she didn't want to do this kind of headless skin and meat business in Cuiwei Pavilion for the rest of her life, it was better to go to the border gate, her appearance was not bad, and she would find a deputy general or something to be a concubine, so that she could rely on her for life. And I heard that King Rui has not yet married a wife, if he can······ That's even more fine clothes and food, and enjoy glory forever.
The car has been walking for three days, and Chu Xiangwan still hasn't found a chance to escape. They are very strict with these nursing homes, and anyone who is unusual will be severely beaten by the nursing home. It was now dusk, and they had come to a wilderness, where they were tired and tired, and they had to rest before they could continue their journey. This made Chu Xiangwan feel that it was an excellent opportunity to escape, so she quietly walked into the depths of the grass while these people were looking for a place to rest.
They hadn't gone a few steps when suddenly, the horses resting around them neighed, and when they looked back, they saw a group of people roaring around them in the distance. The group of people gradually got closer, and at first glance, it was a gang of horse thieves. The scene became chaotic, and the courtyard and these horse thieves fought, but the horse thieves were many and did these things in the mountains all the year round, and the small courtyard was their opponent, and in less than half an hour, they were already dead and fleeing. At this time, everyone was taken over by the horse thief, and Chu Xiangwan couldn't leave. The horse thief is not like the previous ones who were just beaten up, and if anyone tried to run, they would definitely lose their lives.
"Big brother, look, we've made a lot of money this time, these little ladies are all good-looking, and they will definitely be able to sell for a good price." It turned out that these horse thieves were human traffickers, who specialized in robbing pedestrians on the road, and the men were all killed, and the women were all taken to the border black market and sold to the wealthy people who had traded past. This kind of murderous business can only be carried out on the black market on the border, and if it is bought and sold in the place of Da Zhou, it will definitely be arrested and imprisoned by the government. Therefore, these people went all the way to the border gates, but their destination was not the military camp, but the black market at the border gates.
"Brothers, take a good look at these women, it's enough for us to spend the second half of the year comfortably." Their boss was bearded and looked vicious.
"Big brother, the brothers haven't touched a woman for a long time, do you want the brothers to try it first?" Someone looked at these women with lewd eyes in them.
"Foolish," the boss scolded the speaker by striking the back of his knife on the head, "these guards have been killed by us, and their bodies will soon be discovered, so we have to leave now, and we will be safe at the border, understand?" ”
"Yes, yes, listen to the boss. Then when you get to the border, can you let the brothers ······?" This person still doesn't give up, looking at such beautiful women, it's a pity that he can't play.
"I'll talk about it when we get to the border." The boss swung his knife impatiently.
Chu Xiangwan breathed a sigh of relief, these people are extremely vicious, and lustful and shameless, these people have bad intentions in their eyes when they look at them, fortunately, these horse thieves are in a hurry to flee for their lives, otherwise, Chu Xiangwan can't imagine what will happen next.
