On the opposite side, the youngest looking man stepped forward two steps forward and asked very vigilantly, "What do you want horses to do?" Don't I see you have horses? ”

"We have sick people and children in the car, and we need to get back to the tribe in the winter, so we need a horse to speed up."

Feitian seems to be a different person, his appearance is honest, his tone is also very gentle, and he is full of kindness.

As he walked over, he continued to ask about the situation over there: "We don't have much food here now, we have to speed up a little faster, if you think the two sheep are not enough, we can talk about ......"

Originally, the person on the other side was still a little cautious, but seeing that Feitian was extremely sincere, he began to talk to him.

"Two sheep are enough, but you rush back so much, aren't you afraid that it will not be safe? It's a mess out there now. ”

When this person approached, Wen Qingzhu found that this man was about forty years old, and when he walked, his steps were still a little bumpy.

Feitian showed his concern at the right time: "No, it's going on now, it's a mess everywhere, and it won't be long before there may be conscription, my family is here, in fact, I'm also worried about being captured, and my family has no one to take care of." ”

The middle-aged uncle saw through it, and really saw Wen Qingzhu, and nodded more and more: "You are also difficult, and not all the young children in our family have been arrested......

Soon the two chatted, and the middle-aged uncle readily agreed to exchange horses for sheep, and heard that they were few, and added twenty catties of wheat cakes.

In the end, the middle-aged uncle kept it again and again, hoping that they could go together.

Flying probed their destination and said in the exact opposite direction.

So they had no choice but to give up, and in exchange for the horses, Feitian immediately set off on the cart and set off immediately.

Wen Qingzhu was really curious when he saw the completely different Feitian, so he sat in the car in front of him and sat side by side with Feitian.

When she was far away, she spoke: "You just now are very different from before. ”

"Hmm." It's still that simple.

Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but look sideways curiously: "You don't like to talk?" ”

Feitian nodded: "I don't like it." ”

Seeing him like this, Wen Qingzhu was a little helpless, it seemed that he couldn't say it if he let Feitian say it himself.

Wen Qingzhu decided to observe and observe, anyway, now he is following him, and the future will be long.

The more they went inside, the more tribes they encountered.

Wen Qingzhu took them to collect a lot of sweet plant tubers, which were later used by Feitian in exchange for various daily necessities, and the food slowly became abundant.

In less than ten days, their group was like a real Xiongnu herdsman, and no flaws could be found.

Beidou can't speak, Tudan is very smart, and learned the daily Xiongnu dialect.

Wen Qingzhu often took him out to contact the herdsmen outside, and he was very worried about the impression that outsiders had given him.

Because of this, ordinary herdsmen have become more and more friendly to him.

On the ninth day, their convoy finally stopped.

Wen Qingzhu looked at it from afar, and in front of him was a continuous tent, a large number of cattle and sheep, and a tall horse running by the river, in which the Huns were shuttling back and forth.

Most conspicuously, a group of ragged men, mostly women, were driven eastward by a few strong Huns like herds.

"Sister, then, who are those people?" The Huns of Tudan are not very proficient in dialect, but in the past few days, he has changed his opinion of ordinary Huns a lot.

Suddenly seeing a completely different scene from before, for a while, he was a little confused.

Wen Qingzhu took a deep breath, touched his head and said, "They are slaves." ”

"Slaves?" Tudan was unfamiliar with the word, and soon he asked, "Does it mean the same as a slave?" ”

Wen Qingzhu looked over again, she didn't want to say it, but she had already reached this point.

She had to say: "No, our slaves of Daqi can at least ensure the safety of their lives, but the slaves of the Huns can be beaten and scolded at will, and they can be killed if they want to." ”

"What!" The earth egg is a little unbelievable.

But Wen Qingzhu's next words made him suffer a greater impact: "The slaves of the Huns are divided into two parts, a strong young man, generally two tribes clash, one completely defeats the other, kills all the men who may rebel, and leaves women and children.

The boys were sent for special training and later used in war. The old people were sent to do all kinds of menial work, such as the wheat cakes we ate, most of which they planted. As for the women and girls, they are chosen and called, and generally work under their masters. ”

After a long time, Tu Dan said in a trance: "How can they be like this!" ”

Wen Qingzhu squatted down, leaned over, held his arm, and met his gaze: "Among the female slaves of the Huns, there are some who were snatched from our Daqi, and your mother may be among them!" ”

"Mother......" Tudan's lips trembled all the time, and she couldn't stop shaking her head, and she didn't even answer her in Hun words.

Wen Qingzhu grabbed his arm: "Soil egg!" You have to be strong! Because this is the Huns! Have you forgotten? When you were in Tail Village? , what kind of people are the Huns, your nurse, your father, and your grandfather, what do you say? ”

"They are enemies! A vicious enemy! Tudan finally remembered what he had heard when he was in Tail Village.

It wasn't long before someone came on horseback.

Wen Qingzhu pressed his hand and told him not to speak.

Feitian hurriedly stepped forward and asked very politely: "Lord Amos's territory?" ”

"Yes! Who are you? What are you doing here? The person who came was a young man, looked at Feitian, and quickly stopped his gaze on Wen Qingzhu and Tu Dan behind him.

But he didn't look too much, thinking that they were family.

Feitian hurriedly replied: "We came here to buy a few slaves. ”

"Presumptuous!" The man immediately raised his whip and whipped it fiercely, and Feitian dodged it very dexterously.

Seeing that he dared to dodge, the man was furious, and he passed with another whip.

But I didn't want to avoid Feitian very lightly this time, and then I restrained my smile: "Brother, we are not people without identity, but I heard that Lord Amos has recently hired a new batch of slaves and wants to sell some, so I just came, if you don't want to buy it, just over there!" ”

Feitian turned around and left, Wen Qingzhu looked at the man over there, turned to get into the car, and set off with Feitian's car.

Watching their convoy go away, the man couldn't help muttering to himself: "My lord hasn't recruited a new batch of slaves recently, but looking at this man, he doesn't have much to deal with, and he looks so thin, he can't imagine that he is so flexible, it seems that he still has to go and tell the captain." "Alignment

The man turned back and found the captain to explain the matter.

The captain was taken aback, and immediately grabbed him and asked, "You said someone was going to buy slaves!" Do you know that adults have a new batch? ”

The man was dismissive: "Yes! We don't! How dare they—"

Before he could finish speaking, the captain kicked him and hurriedly chased him out......

After leaving the clan, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but ask Feitian, "Are you sure they will really send someone to chase after them?" ”

Feitian thought for a moment and replied, "Fifty percent probably." ”

Wen Qingzhu: "......"

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves soon sounded behind him.

To be on the safe side, they immediately stopped the car and flew off the car to take a look.

But a man with a scimitar and a cowhide hat turned over and dismounted, walked over quickly and asked, "Do you dare to ask the guests if they are the fourth prince?" ”

"It's not." Feitian immediately denied it.

Seeing that the visitor was stunned, he immediately said: "We are from the side of the Aquila River, and we have something to do with the north, and I heard that you Lord Amos have a new batch of slaves, so I want to come and ask." ”

"From the Aquila River?" The visitor suddenly became two points more serious, and asked again, "Then who are you?" ”

Feitian raised his hand: "Sorry, no comment." ”

The visitor frowned, but when he saw that Feitian had a Xuanjing Iron waist knife hanging from his waist, he immediately asked with a good attitude: "Dare to ask the name of the adult, can you bring enough money?" ”

"Flying." Feitian replied without hesitation, turned his head and took out a gold ingot from his arms, and threw it over.

The person who came immediately caught it, bit it with his teeth, and immediately greeted him sideways with a smile: "My lord, please here." ”

So they turned back again.

Walking all the way, Wen Qingzhu followed behind them, listening to the man with a scimitar at his waist introduce himself: "My name is Arlo, and I am the captain of the fifth team of Lord Amos's escort, what do you want from a slave?" ”

Feitian looked back at Wen Qingzhu and said, "Follow her request." ”

Arlo looked back at Wen Qingzhu, feeling extremely strange in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "She is your wife?" ”

"No, she's my lord." Feitian stopped and looked at Arlo fixedly.

Wen Qingzhu stepped forward at this time, smiled and asked Arlo: "Hello, my name is Xiaoshui." ”

Arlo felt that the name was strange, even stranger than the flying sky just now.

However, he pinched the gold in his hand, and finally pointed to the tent in front of him and said, "Your Excellency, please, you can rest first, and I will go and report to your lordship." ”

Wen Qingzhu took them to the tent to rest.

Arlo realized that a tall man appeared with a little boy in his hands.

The first person I met was a person who went to the carriage and covered his whole body with spies on his back.

Judging by the figure, it should be a woman.

Looking at their group carefully, Arlo also felt that Feitian and the man holding the child were dangerous.

As for how dangerous it was, for the sake of gold, he decided to try it later.

Go into the tent, put the flying sister, and put the eggs in and place them.

Wen Qingzhu asked Beidou to look around.

She herself went to the bed and took the pulse of the person in bed again.

After reading it, Wen Qingzhu said to Feitian: "It has improved, and when I leave here, I will give her new medicine." ”

"Why not now?" Feitian immediately asked.

Wen Qingzhu looked outside: "Do you think it's safe here?" ”

Feitian didn't say anything and nodded.

Glancing at the person on the bed, he added, "As long as there is enough gold." ”

Wen Qingzhu was curious: "How much gold did you bring?" ”

Fei Tian gestured a finger and went over to feed the person on the bed.

Wen Qingzhu thought about it for a long time, one hundred taels?

Wrong!

She turned her head to look at Feitian and suddenly remembered something.

Not long after they set off, Wen Qingzhu originally planned to go directly to the White Wolf Tribe.

She wanted to see how Lei Shuo was doing on the fourth prince's side first.

But Feitian suggested that they first come to Amos's territory to inquire about the situation.

At that time, Feitian only said one sentence: "Amos has a lot of slaves, and he can't afford to raise them." ”

After a while, the sitting soil egg came over, grabbed Wen Qingzhu's sleeve, and spoke in the Central Plains as soon as he spoke.

Wen Qingzhu immediately frowned: "Earth egg!" ”

Only then did he quickly correct himself: "I, I just want to ask, is it because my mother is here, why did we come here?" ”

Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Why is that?" As soon as Tudan thought of the situation of the Xiongnu slaves, tears fell uncontrollably.

After being silent for a long time, Wen Qingzhu explained: "This is the territory of a Xiongnu nobleman, the lord is called Amos, he loves money like his life, and his people are not very good at fighting, but they are very good at business. ”
