The next morning, when the rain had stopped last night, the loquat trees in the courtyard were verdant, and the dew falling from the trees gathered down the ravines into small pools.

The old tiles of the eaves have also been given a new layer of color.

The rain was dripping downward.

Li Yuan took Jinyiwei to Xicheng, which was the most prosperous commercial area in Champa and the largest black spot for the slave trade.

He didn't wear a dragon robe this time, but changed into a Taoist robe.

Taoist clothes were very common in the Tang Dynasty and could be worn as regular clothes.

The west of the city was full of traffic, and merchants from all over the city poured into the city, many of them from the surrounding countries, but more of them were merchants from the Tang Dynasty.

Most of the slaves needed in the slave market came from war.

The city was conquered by the Tang army, so these slave traders came like cats smelling fishy.

"This boy can't do it, he's too thin, at most three dollars, no more, but this girl......

The appearance is quite dignified, but it is a little darker, but I can't help it, some people like this tone, and it has always been half and two prices!

A total of four and a half dollars! "An exotic slave merchant and a Don soldier negotiate prices.

"This chick looks good, and she sells it to a brothel for at least five yuan, and if she can't afford this price, don't open it, it's always his price." The Don soldier kicked the scruffy boy with a tattoo on his face, the boy had his head bowed and his complexion was swarthy.

"If you don't want it, I'll take this girl home and be my son's child daughter-in-law."

Li Yuan noticed this, the girl in the soldier's mouth was indeed dignified, and from the demeanor, it could be seen that there was some gentleness, and the spirituality in her eyes could not be concealed, with a trace of hatred. The clothes he wore were a little dirty, but they were good materials.

Unlike tattoos carved on boys' faces, in order to sell girls at a good price, tattoos are usually carved on the inside of the left ear to make it easier to distinguish and without breaking the phase.

The girl was supposed to be the daughter of a small aristocratic family.

However, Li Yuan doesn't intend to care about these things, he already understands: his enemy, my Mingjun.

The cities that the Tang army soldiers have worked so hard to capture, how can they be willing to divide them without interests, everyone is working hard for the country with their heads, and then let them stop with a relaxed word of benevolence and righteousness?

Scold!

Li Yuan doesn't have this ability, and the court doesn't have this ability.

Giving up plundering and occupying the city will make the Tang Dynasty's own finances in crisis, and who would be willing to do such a stupid thing.

It's just that suddenly Li Yuan's afterglow swept to the dark-skinned boy who bowed his head, and the rope tied to his hand suddenly fell, he instantly understood, and hurriedly shouted: "Watch your back!" ”

But the middle-aged Tang soldier didn't notice, so the boy pulled out the saber from his waist and stabbed it into his waist, and in an instant, blood spurted out, and there was blood on the ground.

There was also an uproar in the entire slave market in an instant, and the vigilant Tang soldiers drew their horizontal knives one after another and demonstrated to the slaves who were about to move.

It is mixed with the barbarian language and local dialects of Linyi Kingdom, as well as the official dialect of the Tang Dynasty, with fierce words, scolding, and angry scolding.

The middle-aged soldier who reacted endured the pain, snatched the saber from the boy's hand, kicked the boy with one kick, and then stepped on the boy's wrist with his right foot, and the boy's right hand was broken with a single stab.

"Damn, brothers, smoke this barbarian!" The middle-aged soldier said viciously.

The Tang soldiers were indignant, several people took out horsewhips and whipped the boy, and a soldier even rode on a war horse, and then tied the boy's left wrist with a rope, tightened the horse's belly, and dragged the boy to run in the Xicheng market.

On the other side, the marching physician who accompanied him also hurriedly bandaged the middle-aged soldier, and used roll after roll of bandages.

But the middle-aged soldier's face became paler and paler.

"Are you alright?" Li Yuan walked over to the middle-aged soldier, and then frowned and checked his injuries.

The injuries were severe, and the knife went into the kidney.

"Your Majesty... Your ......, Your Majesty, you are here. The middle-aged soldier obviously knew Li Yuan, and said with a sigh of shame: "I have embarrassed Your Majesty, and I was planted in the hands of a little slave cub, and I am afraid that this injury will not be cured." ”

He shook his head miserably and smiled palely.

As an old oilman in the Tang Army, he has been marching and fighting for more than ten years, and he has long known that his injuries are hopeless.

The injury is too severe......

"That little cub stabbed me in the stomach with a knife and stirred it, and my internal organs had already become a mess of mud, and I couldn't live, and my bones were left in a foreign land.

Huzi, Dad lost his words and couldn't go home to see you again. The middle-aged soldier was in tears.

As he lost more and more blood, his face became more and more pale, almost bloodless, and he was holding on to it in one breath.

"What's the name of the brother? Where are you from? I will definitely let people return home with your bones. Li Yuan held the rough hands of the middle-aged soldier, and his tone was a little choked.

Yes, he is ruthless and sells the defeated people.

But he is a citizen of the Tang Dynasty.

At home, there are still Huzi and his wife looking forward to their return home.

Diao Min?

Mo laughs at the farmer's wine, and the guests are full of chickens and dolphins in the harvest year.

In a person's life, how can it be black and white!

He may have tormented this slave child, but in his hometown he was a kind neighbor; Maybe he is fierce and ruthless, but when he comes home, he is a simple father, and he will only hold his son one tiger at a time; Maybe he robbed and raped in the city of Zhancheng, but in his hometown, they were simple, hospitable, and helped their neighbors.......

Human nature is inherently difficult to fathom, and all people can do is to move forward silently and be worthy of their hearts.

At this moment, Li Yuan is not sad for the slave children, but for the middle-aged soldiers.

In his ears, the boy's miserable cry for mercy was heard, and the blood from the broken wrist gradually dried up.

The soldiers of the Tang Army watched all this silently, and they looked at the slaves who occupied the city with resentment.

The knife was held a little tighter.

"Your Majesty... Next, I am Liu Sancai from Liujiazhuang in Shanyin, Huzi is my child, he is now eight years old, clamoring for me to go home and bring him a daughter-in-law......" The middle-aged soldier's lips oozed a little blood, remembering that his son had a smile on his face, he pointed to the slightly swarthy girl, "She..... I don't want to sell it, I just ask Your Majesty for one thing, to take her to Shanyin, to my Huzi, he... I have a daughter-in-law. ”

"I have a daughter-in-law..... Liu Sancai muttered about his daughter-in-law and died with a smile.

The onlookers of the Tang Army were silent, looked at the dirty Champa slaves, and whipped them, "Motherfucker, son of a bitch!" Killed our brothers! ”

"Rest in peace." Li Yuan closed Liu Sancai's eyes with his hand and placed them on the ground.

He took a deep breath and scolded, "What the hell is this! You don't need a reason to kill, everything is a brute. ”
