Chapter 60: The Slave Catcher and Xie Lang
in the streets.
The master and servant of the Zhu Zhang clan, who had been waiting to see the excitement, saw Ji Ji take the gauze hat handed by Xie Guang and put it on, his face had changed. After a while, when a boy walked to the donkey cart and said a word with a cold face, Zhu Zhang's noble lady's face turned completely blue.
Zhu Zhang turned her head, she glared at Ji Ji in disbelief, and said angrily: "How is this possible? But a mere orphan girl from a poor family, is she really involved with Xie Eighteen? β
At this time, her tone was full of regret and anger, and there was a faint feeling of being humiliated. Originally, she had been dealing with Ji Ji carelessly, purely playing casually, but she didn't expect that this game could kick the iron plate, and let herself leave a bad impression on Shanyuezi and even Xie Shiba, Zhu Zhang's was inexplicably angry!
At this moment, Zhu Zhangshi glanced at the servant woman next to him, and seeing that her face was wrong, Zhu Zhangshi shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing with this expression?" β
The maid whispered nervously: "Madam, after the maid knew that many sisters-in-law of the scholar clan didn't like this Ji girl, she sent the comment of the Fuling girl to the first beauty of Jiankang, you know, that sister-in-law admired Xiao Yi, but this sister-in-law Ji had Xiao Yi's blue eyes, so the maid wanted to ......."
Zhu Zhang was not angry, she pondered for a while, and then asked, "When did you send it?" β
"Three, three months ago. The maidservant thought at that time, how precious is the lady, why should she spend so much effort for an orphan girl? This borrowing a knife to kill people is actually not bad......"
She was still sighing, and Zhu Zhang's on one side was already chuckling. She said grimly, "No, you're doing the right thing!" In the surprised gaze of the maidservant, Zhu Zhang's gritted his teeth and said: "The battle among the women of our scholar clan will naturally be resolved internally, and this Ji girl for a little profit, she does not know how to break into the internal struggle of the high gate and the big valve, and she should also learn a lesson!" β
When Zhu Zhang said this, he slowly closed his eyes and said softly: "Because, she is not worthy!" β
Ji Ji at this time. I tell the donkey cart to turn. Xie Guang said it just now. His family Langjun had just arrived in Jiankang, and he would definitely be very busy, so he asked Ji Ji to go back first.
It's just that it's not easy when it comes out. This goes back. It is also crowded with people. Since the introduction of Buddhism to the Central Plains. It's really getting stronger day by day. To this day, this Buddhist's Bon Festival, Buddha Day. They are all important festivals of Jiankang. Today is Buddha's Day, so it is reasonable to raise the city to carnival.
Ji Ji's donkey cart came all the way, and when she saw the traffic in front of the mountain gate, she was happy whether she was Qin Xiaocao or not.
Just walking, Qin Xiaocao frowned.
Ji Ji followed her gaze and saw that she was far behind, happily gathered in front of a trickster stall.
At the moment, Ji Ji chuckled and said: "He's still young, it's the time to be active, anyway, I'm out to play today, so it's okay for him to watch it for a while." β
Qin Xiaocao replied yes.
At this time, the carriage drove into an alleyway.
This alleyway is a bit deep and a little dark. However, because the streets in front and behind the laneway are noisy, they are not as bleak as usual.
Just when the master and servant were talking and laughing, and Sun Fu, who was driving, was also humming a song, suddenly, there was a soft sound above their heads!
The sound was very light, but it also aroused Sun Fu's vigilance, just when he suddenly looked up, suddenly, a large piece of gray powder sprinkled and drizzled, and in a blink of an eye, the alley was completely shrouded in gray fog!
Sun Fu was so startled that he hurriedly stood up, and just as he opened his mouth to shout, a black shadow appeared behind him like lightning, only to see the black shadow's palm towards the side of Sun Fu's neck, and with a bang, Sun Fu rolled under the donkey cart unconscious!
At the same time, there were two black shadows that rolled into the donkey cart carriage like lightning, these two black shadows were extremely skillful, almost as soon as Ji Ji's master and servant found out, their eyes were black, but they were covered by people's mouths and noses.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Ji's master and servant also fainted to the ground.
Just when the two black shadows clearly picked up Ji Ji's master and servant, and the other black shadows were about to destroy the donkey cart and the body of Sun Fu, who had fainted on the ground, suddenly, a young man's shout came from the mouth of the alley, "What are you doing?" "But Qin Xiaomu, who had seen the excitement, caught up!
Qin Xiaomu is an extremely smart person, just shouted, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and at that moment he hoisted at the top of his throat and howled: "Come on, come on, come on-"
Qin Xiaomu appeared too timely, and more than a dozen black shadows were caught off guard, and at that moment, a black shadow cursed in a low voice, "Damn!" With that, he shouted, "Go! β
As soon as the voice fell, several black shadows hugged Ji Ji's master and servant, dropped the donkey cart and Sun Fu on the ground, jumped into one side of the wall, and disappeared in a blink of an eye!
β¦β¦
Ji Ji woke up in a jolt. When she opened her eyes, she felt a little dizziness in her head, so she groaned, and just as she shook her head and sat down slowly, Ji Ji suddenly remembered a qiΔ. She turned her head suddenly!
Sure enough, in the corner of the room, Qin Xiaocao, who didn't know anyone, was lying. Seeing Qin Xiaocao, Ji Ji hurriedly crawled towards her.
This climb, she found that her hands and feet were chained, and even her mouth was gagged, so to speak, her whole person was limited to a radius of five steps. Of course, this cabin is only five steps in size.
Seeing her own situation, Ji Ji was shocked, she couldn't care about Qin Xiaocao anymore, turned her head to see that there was a window in front of her, and climbed over.
The window was covered with a cloth, and although Ji Ji was locked, her hands and feet could still exert her strength, so she made it and finally lifted the cloth.
Ji Ji glanced out!
At this glance, her face turned pale.
But it turned out that she was already in a boat, and the water in front of her was swaying in the reflection of the galaxy.
Not only was she on board, but it was already night!
Ji Ji looked out with a white face for a while, it was night, the lights outside were not big, she couldn't see the two sides of the strait clearly, and she didn't know where she was at the moment. However, according to Cheng DΓΉ's estimation, it should still be a matter of a few hours, and she should have just come out of Jiankang. In the river channel where Jiankang enters the Yangtze River!
After secretly judging it, Ji Ji looked back again.
At this glance, she found that she had just slept in the bed, with a piece of paper pasted on it, and some words were written on it.
Ji Ji hurriedly crawled over.
With the dim lantern light coming from the corridor outside, Ji Ji saw the paper clearly.
On the paper, a few words were first written in thick ink, "first-class goods"
Then, there were a few lines of small words below, and Ji Ji took a closer look. I saw that it was written: Ji's daughter. After the Yellow Emperor (expensive), fourteen or fifteen years old (adjustable), this woman's skin is snow-white, and her body has a dark fragrance. The forehead is like a liver. Qiong's nose rushed straight to the Yin Hall. The phoenix eyes have a long neck, and there is the noble appearance of a woman of the scholar clan (expensive). Its root bone is inside the mei (upper upper), virgin. This woman is full of poetry, actuarithmetic, calligraphy, embroidery (top grade), this woman seems to have a relationship with Chen Jun Xie and Lanling Xiao. Because the seller has paid 5,000 gold, according to his requirements, this woman is not allowed to appear in Jiankang, and she can be sent to Shudi, and after a year of training, it can be transported to Luoyang to be bought. β
Seeing this line of words, Ji Ji felt cold all over, as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and for a while, her teeth were so cold that they rang out.
After Ji Ximu for a while, she suddenly crawled towards Qin Xiaocao on the side.
Above Qin Xiaocao's head, there was also a piece of paper, Ji Ji looked at it, and saw that the small characters that read "C-class goods" were also very simple: sixteen years old, beautiful face, fair skin, literate, born poor, no family and no roots.
Ji Ji looked at it for a while, and her whole person was so cold that her hands trembled.
In her last life, she had heard people say that in this world, because the law does not work, bandits are rampant, and a large number of manors appear, it is common for people to become slaves automatically or passively.
She also knows that in this world, there is a huge and incomparably wandering force, and they are specially hunting young men and women with outstanding appearance and temperament for the world's powerful people. Generally speaking, because people at the time had a strange worship of men, especially beautiful and learned men, when facing beautiful young people, regardless of poverty, these slave catchers were gentle and mainly gentle or all kinds of temptations.
Completely different from the attitude towards men, is the attitude towards women, first, in this world, especially among the people, women still have no status, there are many places, because of the custom of women to give dowry when they get married, some parents are killed when they give birth to their daughters.
At the same time, because of years of war and precarious insecurity, many Haoqiang have violent and bloodthirsty preferences, since the Jin Shi Chong, Haoqiang clan torture and kill private tricks or maidservants, and even very popular. Therefore, all kinds of slave traders in the world, and the Xianggu people who specialize in buying beauties and entertaining the powerful, while they are very popular, they are also very unkind to female slaves.
Now, just from these two pieces of paper, it can be seen that this organization has been very tight, and for the acquired beauties, there are also special human bones, and then grading! It's just that these people are so clear about their own situation, which means that they are afraid that there are still scholars in Jiankang who collude with these slave traders, and their capture is a conspiracy!
Although Ji Ji sees these very clearly, it is not beneficial to her current situation!
Just as the cold sweat of the vest on Ji Ji's forehead was dripping down, suddenly, from the cabin next to her, there were bursts of crying. Among these cries, there are men and women, and the sobs are all desperate.
After listening for a while, Ji Ji suddenly raised her head, but it turned out that there was a sound of walking footsteps above her head.
It seems that she should be being held in the bilge of a cargo ship or passenger ship!
β¦β¦
Qin Xiaomu's scream alarmed countless passers-by, and he rushed over to shake Sun Fulai again.
As soon as Sun Fu woke up, he grabbed Qin Xiaocao's sleeve tightly and hissed, "Quick, go find Xie Eighteen!" Go and sue him, my sister-in-law has been kidnapped! β
Qin Xiaomu woke up in shock, and he said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, I'll go to Xie Shibalang, those who kidnapped my sister-in-law and sister are still not long gone, Xie Jialangjun will definitely be able to rescue them if they send people now." Speaking of this, Qin Xiaomu staggered out.
When Xie Lang knew the news of Ji Ji's disappearance, it was already an hour later, his face changed, and he immediately sent people to investigate everywhere.
But in an hour, Xie Cai Xie Guang and they came back. Xie Guang took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Lang Jun, according to the traces left at the scene, those black-clothed people sprinkled with the sweat medicine specially refined by the pill warlock, and the medicine is fierce!" Moreover, these people act simply, cooperatively, and in an organized manner! β
Xie Cai said: "Lang Jun, we pursued in the direction they left, and we can judge from the clues. They left Jiankang by water. β
Another subordinate surnamed Xie said: "Lang Jun, after a comprehensive analysis, the villain judged that this was done by the slave hunting team!" β
Slave catchers?
Xie Lang stood up.
He said: "At most, in half an hour, I want all of my Xie clan's fleet to leave the port!" β
As soon as he said this, the faces of all the tribes changed greatly, and Xie Guang said hurriedly: "Lang Jun, although it is dark now, half of your fleet does not even know about the family and the royal family, so you are so rashly transferred." If someone finds out. That's a capital offense! β
Xie Cai also said astringently: "Lang Jun, the royal family and the world's corporal clan have long had a tacit understanding, and if you press out with such an army, I am afraid that Your Majesty will think that you have objections!" Pimp. Only a little bit of this matter has been leaked out. With the ability of the Chen Jun Xie family. I can't save your life! β
In today's world, although the royal family is forced by various realities, it has to let the nobles have many privileges. But there are some things that even the top scholars must not offend. This private transfer of troops, in which dynasty era, is a major crime of the nine clans. Although in this era, with the status of the Xie clan of Chenjun, Zhu Lian is not available, but once it is leaked out, Xie Lang's little life will never be saved!
In the excitement of everyone, Xie Lang smiled, and he said gently: "Why should you panic, you have forgotten, but I, Xie Eighteen, have a black jade order." β
The faces of the various tribes were still very ugly, and Xie Cai muttered: "In the entire Chen County Xie Clan, there are only three people who have such a death-free jade card, Lang Jun, do you want to use your only piece on a sister-in-law?" β
Xie Lang didn't intend to say anything more, he said softly: "Let's act." β
Everyone was silent for a while, and then bowed their heads at the same time, "...... Be! β
β¦β¦
Qin Xiaocao was woken up by hunger, and in a burst of empty sounds in her stomach, she opened her eyes.
was first startled by this darkness, and in the blink of an eye, Qin Xiaocao hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, where are you?" She said in a trembling voice, "Why is there crying everywhere?" β
At this time, Ji Ji's calm voice came from the side, "We are on the slave hunting boat." It turned out that she had been sitting by the window, and after looking at the dark sky outside for a while, Ji Ji muttered again: "It's almost five watches." β
Where did Qin Xiaocao hear what she was talking about? She was extremely flustered, and she had a lot to ask Ji Ji, but no matter what she asked, Ji Ji sat by the window without moving, she let the river wind blow her cold, but she didn't move.
At this time, Ji Ji was thinking: No matter what, I can't die!
She looked at the starry sky outside and thought: I have died once, this time, I can't just die like this!
She thought, she still has more than 20 family treasures that have not been dug up, she is still in her younger brother to take care of, in her previous life, when she died, Ji Daoxu was fourteen years old, but he lived so hard later, and now he is only nine years old, what will he do in the future? And Xie Lang, the merry man who always smiled at her gently......
Just when Ji Ji was staring out of the window blankly, motionless, suddenly, she was startled and stood up.
Seeing Ji Ji's appearance, Qin Xiaocao was startled, she woke up from crying, and asked hurriedly, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" β
In the dark, Ji Ji's eyes were shining, and she said in a trembling voice: "I smell a different smell in this river breeze. β
Her words seemed too nonsense, and Qin Xiaocao sat down again!
At this moment, the dark river in front of me suddenly became brightly lit!
Such a night, which was originally dark and silent, suddenly brightened up, and for a while, all the crying stopped, and Qin Xiaocao also staggered over, and looked out of the window with Ji Ji.
Outside, at some point, hundreds of boats sprang up from behind the mountain peaks and from the tributaries next to them!
These boats, which are uniform black clippers, are not large, with a sharp knife-shaped bow, and are the kind that can travel at high speeds in the water! At this moment, there were so many of these ghost-like boats, and they appeared so suddenly, that they blocked the river so firmly that the slave catchers were surrounded before they knew it!
At the front of thousands of ships, there stood a young man in a mask in a black robe.
The young man in the black robe was just standing idly on a leaf boat, and his face was also wearing a mask to the point that his facial features were not visible, but anyone who just glanced at him was shocked by his eyes that were clear and bright to the extreme in the dark, and he was shocked by his incomparable style!
This is by no means the grandeur that ordinary people can have, and it is by no means the demeanor that ordinary magnates can have!
All of a sudden. The slave catcher that Ji Ji was on was quiet.
Qin Xiaocao held the window tightly with both hands, and she said happily with tears in her eyes: "Sister-in-law, they are here to save us, right?" β
This time, she heard her sister-in-law's soft and sweet whisper, "Yes, he's here to save us!" He's here to save me! β
After the slave catcher was quiet for a while, a young voice came out loudly on the boat, "This Lang Jun." Do you know whose boat you're blocking? The young man shouted coldly, "The greatest hundred warriors in Jiankang. Behind this boat, there are more than fifty of them! It's the royal family, and it's also our backer. This Lang Jun, are you sure you can afford to offend so many big families? β
The young man shouted vigorously. But that Lang Jun in a black robe and a mask. But they don't pay attention to it at all. In the light of the torches that lit up the entire river, that Lang Jun raised his right hand into the air and said lightly: "Kill!" Not a single one to stay! β
"Yes!"
Echoes came from all directions. Let the people on the slave hunter ship find that they are surrounded by such ships. I wonder who the owner of this ship is. He actually mobilized such a huge amount of water not far from Jiankang that was enough to overthrow a naval army of the court?
As soon as the horror of those men began, there were 3,000 boats, and arrows were shot at the same time!
In the bright night sky, black arrows came like raindrops towards the slave capture ship, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of screams came from the top of Ji Ji's head!
At this moment, the Xuanpao Langjun said the second sentence, "Press in!" β
"Yes!"
Three thousand boats approached the slave catcher, and when the ships approached at a slow speed, the archers on the black ship were shooting waves of arrows at a slow speed! Because this rain of arrows was covering, it was coming from all directions, from the sky overhead, in a dense, black and oppressive way, so that when those people shot to the fifth wave, there was no sound coming from the top of the slave catcher!
At that moment, a rush of footsteps came from the top of the staircase, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared in the bilge.
Ji Ji woke up suddenly, she pulled hard at Qin Xiaocao, and said in a dumb voice: "Quick, let's block the hatch!" β
As she spoke, Ji Ji had already pushed her own bed towards the back of the door.
Qin Xiaocao was flustered, although she didn't understand why she did this. However, Qin Xiaocao always knew that her sister-in-law was smart and resourceful, and at that moment she also fell and pushed a few blocks to the back of the door.
Just when Ji Ji and the others piled up the beds and tables in the cabin to the door, and the two women themselves put their backs against the door, there were several angry roars in the corridor outside, "Who are those people?" Our existence zΓ i, obviously acquiesced by the major scholars, why did such a Hades suddenly come out? Another voice was also shouting, "These people don't come for nothing!" They have a purpose! Third, what kind of rare cargo is there on this ship? You say it all, let's escort them out, maybe this is our last way to live! β
"Yes, this is the last way to live, that masked man is really a black-hearted, even under the water has arranged people, the people we jumped down have all become corpses and float up!"
At this time, the third child spoke, "Everything else is ordinary, that is, there is a sister-in-law surnamed Ji, who was specially ordered to do it by someone." I read her photo bone book and said that this sister-in-law was acquainted with the Xie clan of Chenjun and the Langjun of the Xiao clan of Lanling. β
As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen voices said angrily at the same time: "What? Chenjun Xie? You are crazy! The people of the Xie clan of Chenjun also dare to move? β
With a roar, several people rushed to Ji Ji's cabin and said loudly: "Then Ji's daughter is in this cabin?" As soon as the voice fell, they began to bang on the door.
Just when Qin Xiaocao, who was blocking the door with his back, was trembling in fright, there was a lot of fire outside, but it was those black boats that had approached the slave catching boats, and the black-clothed people were throwing out the ropes and climbing up!
More than a dozen people outside were still banging on the door, and one of them said angrily: "Why is this door locked so tightly? But at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the cabin, and in the blink of an eye, countless people in black appeared in the bilge.
As the man in black rushed in, the big men who were blocking Ji Ji's door became frightened, and several big men screamed, "They won't let us go!" "Come on, we're killing these goods!" "Fight with them!"
In the blink of an eye, countless fighting sounds accompanied by screams came, and Ji Ji's hatch was hit even more violently. Obviously, someone was angry with her and wanted to kill her.
But Ji Ji had already blocked the couch and a few behind the door, and in a hurry, those people wanted to rush in, but how could it be so easy?
Finally, a few screams came from outside the door, and finally, more and more screams came from outside the door!
Just when it became quiet, Ji Ji fell to the ground with a thud, and at this time, she heard a sound of neat and powerful footsteps in the aisle outside, surrounded by an unhurried footstep. Then, she heard Xie Lang's movement and heard the extreme soft whisper, "Auntie, are you there?" β
Suddenly, Ji Ji whimpered, she threw herself at the door, and cried: "I'm here, I'm here!" β
