Chapter 15: The Killer
Ruan Wanwan and General Chen talked for a long time, and then the two went to eat.
Although there is a rule in most famous families that they don't eat or sleep, but now there are only two people on the table, Ruan Wanwan and General Chen, of course, there is no need to care about it so much.
Moreover, General Chen's current position does not depend on his ancestors, he has fought on the battlefield with a knife and a gun, and he doesn't care much about these etiquettes, and now that he has a daughter, he doesn't care even more.
The two of them chatted with each other, but more often it was Ruan Wanwan who said, General Chen listened, this is General Chen's intention to understand his daughter's life, even if he knew that Ruan Wanwan only told him about it, but he was also very happy to listen.
"When the afternoon arrives later, you take people to the market to pick some people, although I have already assigned the second team to you, but if you take it back like this, it will inevitably make people suspicious, just take this opportunity to cultivate a group of people who are only loyal to you." General Chen persuaded hard, and Ruan Wanwan agreed after thinking about it for a while.
In fact, Ruan Wanwan doesn't like the slave market, even if it has been more than a year at this time, but it is impossible to change the habits in her bones for a while, she always feels that it is a very sad thing to lock people in the house, so a large group of people are crammed into a small room, waiting for the rich to choose.
But Ruan Wanwan didn't have the ability to change these, so she tried her best not to let herself go to those places, but she couldn't resist General Chen's repeated persuasion, and finally agreed.
Ruan Wanwan only took Luan Xing to go, in her words, it means that people are more expensive than fine, and more people go to attract wind.
General Chen said that Ruan Wanwan couldn't do it, and from these thoughts of forging Ruan Wanwan, she finally went to it, thinking that at most, after Ruan Wanwan bought people back, he would let his henchmen go to inspect again.
The slave market is either better than Ruan Wanwan imagined, but it is not much better, Ruan Wanwan does not like it here.
Randomly selecting people, Luan Xing, who followed behind Ruan Wanwan, made one or two comments from time to time.
Because of some selfishness and planning, most of the children selected by Ruan Wanwan are not too young, and all of them are children who are in the best time to practice martial arts.
These children are either clever or honest, but they are always a little numb, most of them are sold for the family, because the family can't afford to support them, so they are abandoned.
After being sold here, the rest is all left to fate, if you are lucky, you can meet a good buyer, and you can live a good life, at least you are well fed and warmly dressed, if you are unlucky, you meet a quirk, then it is really better to live than to die.
But fortunately, the latter is very few after all, at least on the surface.
Ruan Wanwan felt a little sick to her stomach, but she didn't know where this feeling came from, so in the end she didn't say anything and continued to select people.
Suddenly, a little girl's gaze attracted Ruan Wanwan's attention, a gaze that did not match her age at all, not numb but cold, looking like she didn't care about anything, and there was even a little carelessness on her delicate face.
Originally, it was just a burlap dress that she wore with a different charm, and this girl had already attracted the attention of many buyers, but they all gave up after communicating with the stall owner.
Ruan Wanwan was interested, this girl's eyes were too clear, not the kind of ignorance and clarity, but the kind of clarity caused by not caring about anything.
"How does she sell it?" Ruan Wanwan stepped forward and pointed to the girl and asked.
"Ten taels of silver." The seller is very happy to quote the price, and one can already buy the price of three people.
"It's too expensive." It was Luan Xing who spoke this time, such as bargaining, and even communicating with people, which has always been Luan Xing's responsibility.
"She's not the same as those bargains." The stall owner raised his head proudly, as if he was showing off his peacock.
The words used greatly aroused Ruan Wanwan's disgust, they were all people who wanted to be alive, but in his mouth, they could only be "goods".
"Luan Xing, pay, as for you, come with me." Ruan Wanwan summed up her language in the shortest possible words, and she didn't want to say a word to this stall owner.
Ruan Wanwan hates people who have no reverence for living beings.
The girl looked a little surprised, after all, the people who had come to ask for the price before, when they heard the price, most of them scolded and left, and some of them had some ugly and insulting words that landed on her.
But after the initial surprise, the girl was very obedient and let the stall owner open the chain that bound her, and trotted to Ruan Wanwan.
The gaze did not change at all from beginning to end.
"Do you have a name?" Ruan Wanwan asked.
"Nope." The girl pursed her lips, but said so in the end.
"Yo, where did you laugh at their names? You can take whatever you want to take for him, I have some other goods here, although it can't be compared to this, but it also guarantees your satisfaction, why don't you take a look again. The stall owner wanted to continue to solicit business, but Ruan Wanwan ignored it and turned around and left.
"Jing Xian, your name." Ruan Wanwan said to the girl herself, and then she didn't pay attention to it anymore and turned her head to choose other favorite children.
When she had picked up enough twenty children, Ruan Wanwan took them to the outskirts of Beijing, where there was a house that General Chen had given her a long time ago.
Now it is perfect for these children.
Ruan Wanwan even left the captain of the second team of the dark guard here to call these children to practice martial arts.
Hearing that Ruan Wanwan had selected a good manpower, General Cheng naturally sent someone to test it, after all, if it was not kept in order, there would be a fine work taken in by others, especially that special girl, General Chen intuitively felt that she was wrong.
This is the intuition left after years of fighting on the battlefield, and the result is not what he expected, that girl is a killer, she admitted it very neatly, but she has always insisted that she has no owner, and now that she has been bought, she will always listen to Ruan Wanwan's words.
But for these words, General Chen couldn't say half a word, so he directly called Ruan Wanwan's people in front of him and persuaded him to kill this girl.
He knows it too well. These words are small cultivated killers. How firm they are in their hearts about the goal, and even say that they will work hard for this task all their lives, desperate to achieve the goal.
