Li Xiang and the woman left Balan Street with the guards, but they left a lot of shock on this Willow Lane Flower Street.

From street to alley, rumors spread rapidly about the Praetorian Guard's blatant takeaway of prostitutes and young ladies in broad daylight in the city's most backstage brothel, a unique sight in Rome's "pornographic business history."

As the saying goes, "once a leaf falls, you know the autumn of the world"! Could it be that this is an important signal that the government is about to crack down on the sex industry? If that's the case, it's still just a matter of catching one or two young ladies and prostitutes, and if they really move the real thing, it is estimated that there will be no good life for the bustard and the turtle, and the worst thing is that even the brothel owner has to finish playing.

The more everyone thinks about it, the more afraid they become, and the more the news spreads, the more fierce it becomes, like an invisible fire, and "the fire borrows the wind, and the wind helps the fire", everyone on the burning Balan Street feels panicked.

What's more, they can no longer bear the huge psychological pressure, so they simply dismiss the ladies and close the brothels, while some people have many years of experience in business, and have transformed the brothels into "specialty stores", specializing in "sexual health products", such as aphrodisiac oil, tiger whip wine, etc., and of course, "old-fashioned condoms" made of fish maw as raw materials for sale, in order to cope with the upcoming "industrial depression" of the industry!

Li Xiang and the others marched northeast along the Via Vermignanian and arrived at the northeast gate of the city of Rome.

Li Xiang said to Auman, "How did you know I was in Shengdena? ”

"Coincidentally, I was patrolling this road with my brothers today, and I was about to turn around and go to Chickpea Street for lunch, when I happened to meet a little girl about six or seven years old, and the little girl gave me a note."

"'Notes'?"

"Na! I still have the note. As he spoke, he took the note out of his waist pocket, gave it to Li Xiang, and said, "Look at it." ”

Li Xiang looked at the note, which read: Li Xiang is in distress at Shengdena on Balan Street, please go to the rescue immediately.

Li Xiang thought to himself: This time he was able to escape, it was really thanks to the mysterious slave girl, otherwise, it would really be dangerous and abnormal, and the murder would be more auspicious!

"At first," said Auman, "I thought someone was playing a prank on us, because you and Miss Julia are now in love, so why would you go to a place like the fireworks on Bowlan Street to look for flowers and ask for willows!" But after thinking about it carefully, you may be going to Polan Street on business, and Polan Street is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, and it is very possible to encounter gangsters, so I immediately rushed there with my troops. ”

Li Xiang nodded.

Orman then said, "Brother, what are you doing on Bowlan Street?" Why did it clash again between Sindna and Gauljah? ”

Li Xiang thought to himself: I can't say that Bilardo took me there!

Seeing that Li Xiang did not answer, Orman said, "Oh! Did you see that there was something happening in Shengdena that forced Liang to become a prostitute, and you really couldn't look at it, so you stepped forward and heroically saved the beauty. ”

"It seems that I can't hide anything from you!"

Orman smiled and said, "I don't dare to say anything else, but I know that Li Xiang you must be a good man with dedication, and your true feelings for Miss Julia, a sincerity, are not pretended, and your purpose in going to the land of fireworks must be different from other men, plus, I also observed that the woman had blood stains on the corners of her mouth and bruises on her wrists, presumably she had been abused, so I would have made previous inferences." ”

"Wow! The eldest brother is really powerful, he is so observant, he can see so thoroughly inside and out! ”

Auman smiled and said, "It's over!" ”

Li Xiang walked up to the woman and said, "You don't have to worry too much, it's safe for the time being." ”

The woman nodded.

"What's your name? Where do you live? Li Xiang asked.

"My name is Melusa, and I live in Saubina, Pannonia."

Li Xiang thought to himself: Isn't Pannonia the later Austro-Hungarian Empire, no wonder this girl is so beautiful as a flower, it must be a fusion of Eastern and Western beauties. I couldn't help but carefully appreciate the "Austro-Hung baby" in front of me.

Seeing that Li Xiang looked at herself like a god, and didn't speak, she shook her hand in front of Li Xiang and said, "You're nothing, right?" ”

Li Xiang came back to his senses and said, "I was thinking, how could your family live in Pannonia be sold to a Roman brothel!" Almost..."

Melusa looked so sad that she began to cry.

"I'm sorry! Don't cry, if you don't want to say it, I don't ask. Li Xiang said.

"It's my sister."

Li Xiang looked surprised and said, "Your sister? ”

Melusa nodded and said, "Because she was jealous of my father's love for me more than for her, she tricked me out of the city and sold me to traffickers with her own hands. ”

Li Xiang said angrily: "Your sister is still not human?" Why don't you care about brotherhood at all? ”

"It is precisely because the person who betrayed me is a relative who has lived with me for so long that I feel even more sad." Melusa burst into tears as she spoke.

"Then your parents must be anxious to find out that you are missing."

"My mother died when I was born, so my father doted on me very much, and now that I am suddenly gone, I am afraid that my father will be too sad..."

"Then you have to go back as soon as possible and report to his old man that he is safe, and the old man can't be stimulated too much."

"I also want to go back quickly, but I'm worried about how I'll face my sister who pushed me into the fire pit when I get home."

"What are you polite to her about this shameless cold-blooded and inhuman bastard, let your father teach this unfilial daughter a good lesson."

"But, she's my sister after all! Although she is ruthless and unrighteous, I don't want to do anything to be sorry for her. ”

"You're so kind, what you just said, if your sister hears it, I think she should really spend money to buy a piece of tofu and die head-on."

"You saved me, and you are my benefactor, but I don't know your name yet?"

"Don't change your name, don't change your surname, my full name is Li Xiang, if you are kind, just call me Li Xiang!"

"Who the hell are you! Listening to what you say, I feel like a businessman who does big business, and like, yes..."

Li Xiang smiled and said, "... It's like a big prostitute, isn't it? ”

Melusa smiled and said, "You said it yourself, I didn't say it." ”

"At that time, the situation was complicated, I didn't pretend to be a prostitute, and it was difficult to save you!"

"Then these guards came, why did you say that you were a Jiangyang thief, and you still want them to take you away."

Li Xiang smiled and said, "You seem to have missed some content!" I said that we are both Jiangyang thieves, and I also said that you are my 'lady of the village'! ”

Melusa's face flushed.
