1.178 Born to fight
Qiuzi Oasis.
Outside the city, it was a huge makeshift camp. The Kushan guards shouted at the shackled slaves and dragged the caravan neatly before sunset.
The Amazons in the camp were gathering around the queen, looking at the fortified city with clear eyes.
Although it is not as huge as the oasis city at first sight, the city walls are taller and stronger, and the various buildings on the city head are more complicated.
The city is full of flags and spears. The aura of killing came to his face.
Although I don't know what the function of those oriental buildings that are completely different from the architectural style of Kushan are. The queen felt a hint of pressure that she had never felt before.
Those neatly arranged battlements resemble the fangs of a sleeping beast. It is like the long spine of a dragon lying cross-legged.
And this sleeping war beast seems to wake up in the next moment. Tear the 100,000 fresh flesh and blood that was delivered to your mouth into pieces and swallow it into your stomach.
It is a city built for war.
"Damn, we should be a little further away from the city." A seasoned Amazon warrior, muttered quietly.
"Take it easy. It was the owner of the city who bought all of us for a gold coin each. From the moment he arrived at the oasis, 100,000 slaves were his property. At least we can save our lives until we get enough in return. The High Priestess comforted.
"My Queen, look who's coming!" Ashiwarya rushed with joy.
Behind her, there are nine powerful Oasis female warriors.
"Yes......" The High Priestess was the first to notice the abnormality: "Andrea? Oh my God, you're still alive! ”
"Queen." Oasis female warriors, salute in unison.
"Oh, it's you." Compared to her companion who covered her mouth and exclaimed, the queen's expression was much more indifferent.
That's right, the nine Oasis female warriors were the first Amazon to arrive in the Western Regions.
The body is like a dense layer of fish scales. A sumptuous silk robe draped over armor. There is also a sassy and heroic posture that overflows from the inside out, which is completely different from the identity of a slave, all of which are explained.
"Have you turned your back on our beliefs and traditions and become the playthings of men?" The queen spoke directly.
"Never, my queen." The most powerful female warrior of the nine, shook her head firmly.
"So, you're still slaves?" The queen calmly asked: "Fight with fierce beasts all day long, and use your combat skills to win applause and dignity?" ”
"No, Queen. We are now the mistress's personal guards, protecting the safety of the mistress and the child in her womb. The female warrior replied.
"I see." The queen smiled, "Welcome back, my sister." ”
"Sister!" Amazon shouted in unison.
"Andrea, tell me what you've all been through?" Ashiwarya asked hurriedly.
"Failing to get the pleasure we wanted, our original owners sold us to a Silk Road merchant. The merchant gave us as a gift to a powerful king in the oasis. Not long ago, the king of the oasis was defeated by his master again. Then we came to the hostess. Andrea briefly described the general experience of the nine people.
"How many lords are there on the oasis?" The High Priestess asked.
"Fifty." Andrea replied.
"Is their relationship similar to that of the Greek city-states of the past?" The High Priestess asked again.
"It's similar."
The High Priestess let out a sigh of relief: "Perhaps." We'll never have to fight beasts again, my Queen. ”
"That's right. He needs our combat skills even more. The queen nodded confidently.
“…… Queen. Andrea slurred, "The master and the seven mistresses are all powerful warriors. None of the nine of us can defeat it. ”
"On the way, the queen hunted a giant bear for White Deer Cecilia." Ashiwara retorted unconvinced.
"Queen, this is the East where we have never set foot before." Andrea didn't argue either.
"That's right." The queen smiled proudly: "But no matter where it is." Remember, everybody. We are the Amazon made to fight! ”
"Phew!" Amazon raised its arms and shouted. The slender body is soaked in warm sunlight. Dazzling blonde hair, shining in the setting sun. Like a statue, a statue of the golden Venus.
The stunning beauty in the clairvoyant mirror is shrouded in golden light. As if feeling spied on, the queen subconsciously turned her eyes in the direction of the camera.
Liu Bei smiled slightly, and then put down the clairvoyant mirror.
"Husband?" With the support of An Ruoshui, Sister Yan'er walked up to the tall building.
Sister Yan'er has just shown her pregnancy, so she doesn't need to be like this. However, when she was pregnant for the first time, in addition to her husband Liu Bei, she also took care of herself. Be careful and be careful on weekdays. I'm afraid that I will have tire gas.
"Ma'am." Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"They're coming?" Tuoba asked softly.
"Well, I just arrived today and am camping outside the city." Liu Bei replied with a smile.
"What does the queen look like and how does she look?" Tuoba asked again.
Liu Bei smiled and said, "It's better to invite the queen to the mansion, and the lady will see it face to face." ”
"That's fine. These foreign barbarian women do not know how to pay respects. If you don't see it with your own eyes, the cheap concubine is always not at ease. Sister Yan'er nodded happily.
"Madame is very right." Liu Bei smiled and nodded.
"How many people are there?"
"Less than three hundred."
"Do they really only have girls?" Tuoba was still a little worried.
"Both men and women. It's just that the girls will be kept, but the boys will be fed. Liu Bei replied.
"What a strange custom. There are still people in this world who don't want boys. This is incomprehensible to Tuoba who is looking forward to giving birth to Lin'er.
"It's the same for both men and women." Liu Bei relieved her pressure.
thought of Liu Bei's goodness, but Sister Yan'er did not answer.
After seeing the head of the camp, he learned that the losses along the way were very small, and that 120,000 people had arrived safely. The Kushan King let out a long sigh of relief.
After counting the roster, the king entered the city and went to the Changshi Mansion to hand over. No more dreams at night.
There is no need for Liu Bei to come forward in this matter. has its own chief book of the Changshi Mansion, and Li Ru received it diligently, not mentioning it. 20,000 extra slaves. The main bookkeeper, Li Ru, also paid according to the price. The king's envoy was grateful.
is similar to Liu Bei buying a horse when he was young, and he had to brand his name on the horse's buttocks. Slaves were sold with the unique emblem of their respective masters. Waiver is granted unless specifically requested by the host.
If it is sold for the second time, the mark of the original owner must be removed first, and then the mark of the new owner must be branded. And so on and so forth. Every time a slave was sold, he had to endure one more flesh and skin suffering.
Equally. The stigma on a slave is also an important indicator of how many times a slave has been sold.
Liu Bei's family crest is a red deer antler shaped like a five-zhang mulberry outline.
That is to say. These slaves who were sold for the first time had to be branded with Liu Bei's family crest.
Everyone knows that Liu Bei is ashamed of being a slave. The punishment of cannon branding is even more intolerable.
However, it can't stand the bitter admonitions of everyone. The Kushan envoy also said that once these slaves fled, if they were not branded, they would not be pursued.
Ponder over. Liu Bei retreated to the next place. Changed the brand to a tattoo.
In other words, it is a slave mark, and we are many years ahead......
