The slave market is a place where some poor families are unable to raise and sell slaves because of their children.

Because these people could not meet the requirements for enlistment in the army, they could only be reduced to slavery, and the slave trade was not illegal in Huaxia, so they could also be bought and sold openly.

In fact, at the beginning of the legislation, Ye Gucheng also wanted to abolish this article, but there were too many officials who opposed it, after all, the legal system and conditions of this era and various factors did not allow much change!

Ye Gucheng also knew very well that the eunuchs and even the merchants and Confucian scholars needed slaves to serve every family, so in desperation, he had to dismiss his thoughts.

On this day, they inadvertently walked to the slave market, and what caused Ye Gucheng to stop was the shouting of the slave master.

"The one sold below is a maid, although this woman is small, but she is amazing, she is from the end of the desert, everyone must know that the commander of our Huaxia Kingdom is also from the end of the desert!"

The slave master's words succeeded in attracting everyone's attention, and many people even switched from other stalls to shouting stalls.

The slave master was very satisfied with the effect, waved his hand, and shouted, "Push it out." ”

Soon, an iron cage prison car was taken out, and in the prison car, a girl with a difficult face was sitting on one side.

The noise quickly resounded.

Slaves have always been sold voluntarily, and it is rare for people to be imprisoned in cages like this.

The slave master hurriedly explained: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet! ”

Then the crowd fell silent.

"Truth be told, it's not that I want to imprison her, it's that this woman is extraordinary, she knows magic, and she once knocked down several strong men. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience boiled, people who can magic?

Don't say it, you haven't heard it.

On the contrary, Ye Gucheng's expression froze, staring at the girl in the cage tightly, he remembered the words that circulated in the past Beiban, a special race, a warlock who can call the wind and rain!

Could it be that this girl could be a legendary warlock?

"Lie! I've never heard of anyone who knows magic. A spectator retorted on the spot.

"Like, if she's really good at magic, you'd let her put on a show for us to see. The other went on to heckle.

The slave master was speechless for a moment, although he knew that the girl could magic, but if he wanted her to perform in public, he was afraid that it would be impossible! Seeing that the scene was out of control, he hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Believe it or not, start bidding now, the reserve price, ten taels of gold." ”

The audience booed, a slave asked for ten taels of gold!

You must know that ten taels of gold is enough for an ordinary family to live for a year, and you can buy a yard of slaves.

Seeing that there was no one to bid, the slave master said anxiously: "Think about it, this girl is from the end of the desert, and in the future, she will bring you endless wealth." ”

These words successfully attracted the attention of the wealthy merchants, who did not lack this money, but were very interested in the words that could bring wealth, especially considering that the commander was also from the end of the desert, and began to scramble to bid.

"I'll give ten taels of gold. ”

"Twenty taels of gold. ”

"Thirty taels of gold. ”

The slave master smiled at this time, and shouted repeatedly: "Is there a higher opportunity? There is only one opportunity, and if you miss it, there will be no more!"

Wanting to compare the rising crowd, the girl in the cage seemed to be very scared, and her body began to shrink inward.

When Li Yueli saw this scene, she couldn't bear it, and thought that the girl might be from Ye Gucheng's hometown, so she couldn't help but look at her sweetheart: "Husband, this girl seems to be from the same place as you, look, do you want to buy her?"

Ye Gucheng thought about it and glanced at Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi understood, raised his hand and said, "I'll come out, fifty taels of gold." ”

Fifty taels of gold?

The audience instantly boiled and paid attention.

Because Ye Gucheng was standing behind the guard, everyone didn't notice it for a while, but the sharp-eyed rich businessman still recognized Zhang Yi and whispered in an instant.

The rich merchant did not dare to continue bidding, and the others themselves were even less likely to bid and compete, and the slave master happily announced that the girl belonged to Zhang Yi.

After Zhang Yi paid the money, under the kind reminder of the slave master, he asked the guards to push the cage to the commander.

It was only at this time that the people found Ye Gucheng standing in the guard, and immediately bowed down one after another.

The slave master's face changed even more in fright, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, joking, the commander dared to accept the money, isn't this a long life?

Ye Gucheng stopped this move, let the people get up, and said slowly: "I will buy this slave." ”

This move successfully aroused people's favor, and the slave master thanked him again and again, and accepted the silver ticket with joy.

Ye Gucheng looked at the prisoner cart parked in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Open it." ”

The slave master's face changed, and he hurriedly reminded: "Commander, this maid is still wild and knows magic, so it is better to let people tame it first and then open the cage." ”

Ye Gucheng smiled, and didn't care, in his opinion, this woman's magic would be made up nine times out of ten, after all, if the other party really knew magic, how could he let the slave master catch it.

"Open. ”

Seeing that the commander ordered again, the guards hurriedly stepped forward to open it, of course, a few guards heard the reminder of the slave master, and they were still nervously guarding around Ye Gucheng.

The iron cage was quickly opened, but, unexpectedly, the girl inside looked even more frightened, shrunk into a ball, and her petite body trembled even more.

Seeing this scene, everyone was sure of one thing, the slave master exaggerated, it was clearly an ordinary girl, where would there be any magic, looking at people, I was so scared that I was almost dizzy!

Li Yueli saw that the girl was pitiful, and she didn't care about the other party's mess, she stepped forward quickly, put her hand into the cage and said, "Don't be afraid, you are safe! No one will bully you again." ”

Li Yueli's move was a bit reckless, and the guards were relieved when they saw that the commander didn't care.

The girl raised her head blankly, looking at the beautiful face in front of her, she saw kindness and love in those eyes, her nose was sore, and she slowly stretched out her right hand.

Li Yueli grinned, grabbed her trembling little hand, and gently pulled it out.

Perhaps it was the warmth in her hands that reassured the girl, and she walked out of the cage without any resistance.

The girl is very small, looking at her height, about 13-14 years old.

Li Yueli saw that the girl's face was dirty, and she took out a brocade handkerchief to help her wipe it in distress, and soon, a small part of her delicate pink face was revealed.

The girl's heart was moved, this was the first person she came to this land who was really good to her!

In just four words, Li Yueli felt pity, as if thinking of her younger brother of the same age, she couldn't help but look back at Ye Gucheng and said, "Husband, I like her very much, can you give her to me?"

Ye Gucheng smiled mildly and responded slowly: "As long as you like it, it's up to you." ”

Ye Gucheng's doting on Li Yueli fell in the eyes of the onlookers and the women were another scene, thinking that the high-ranking commander was so tender, and then looking at his own man, he was either three wives and four concubines or didn't take his wife seriously, and he was envious of Li Yueli for a while.

Because of this episode, Ye Gucheng and his party ended their trip hastily, and Li Yueli was even more focused on the girl.

Ye Gucheng saw that Li Yueli cared more about such a servant than about him, and his face darkened with displeasure, but the most frustrating thing for him was that the other party's attention did not stay on him for a moment.

Li Yueli was even more amused when she saw Ye Gucheng being so childish, but she preferred the current husband to her decisive husband, at least, the distance was not so far!

I have to say that Li Yueli really likes girls very much, especially after grooming, the girl looks very delicate and cute, with black shoulder-length hair, white and red skin, bright but very pure eyes, you can see at a glance that the girl is not deeply involved in the world, like white paper.

This point, Li Yueli guessed very accurately, the girl is indeed rarely involved in the world, in memory, she only gets along with the mage Venerable to practice magic, of course, due to age and the scarcity of spiritual power in this continent and other factors, her magic is not powerful, she can only barely protect herself, and she doesn't understand the world at all!

And her purpose here is only to convey a message to one person.

The poor girl, who served as a messenger for the first time when she entered the WTO, went through hardships, crossed the desert with her last breath, was arrested by a caravan before she could get the information she wanted, and then, inexplicably, arrived in the slave market.

After all, she is young, and she rarely comes into contact with people, and she has no peers to communicate with in Mochizuki Cliff, because she is a disciple of the mage, and the people of the clan have always respected her, and dare not offend her in the slightest.

It was also for this reason that when she saw a large group of people wanting to buy her with hideous expressions, she was very scared, and she didn't know what she was going to face next!

Therefore, when Li Yueli appeared, she was like grasping the last straw, the woman in front of her was different from the silence of the mage, and the other party was more willing to communicate with her.

The girl felt warm for the first time, and even regarded Li Yueli as her sister who protected her from the bottom of her heart.

She vaguely remembered that when she was very young, she had a sister, but after too much time, she couldn't remember what her sister looked like, and the only thing she remembered was that when she was designated as the heir by the mage, she held her sister's hand and prevented people from taking it away.

And her sister also grabbed her hand until her parents appeared and forcibly separated them.

"What's your name?" Li Yueli wanted to hold back, but the girl in front of her was so cute, and her hand couldn't help touching the other party's pretty face.

It's tender, like a baby's skin!

The girl enjoyed Li Yueli's touch very much, she felt very comfortable, and responded crisply: "My name is Yue'er." ”

"Yue'er! this name is so nice!" Li Yueli really liked Yue'er, and said softly again: "What's your surname?"

What's the last name?

Yue'er couldn't help but be puzzled, and then, thinking hard, for a long time, she said in distress: "I don't know either! ”

Li Yueli's heart was sour, she couldn't imagine that such a cute little girl was an orphan! she couldn't help hugging each other and said, "Yue'er, if you don't know what your surname is, why don't you have the surname Li with me, are you optimistic?"

Now, the servants on the side are envious, the same servants, how much worse is their life!

"Okay!" Yue'er was very happy, and hurriedly said, "Then can you be my sister?"

What is said ...

The servants around him opened their eyes as if they were ghosts, where was this what a servant should say?

"Okay!" Li Yueli didn't care about the faces of the servants at all, pinched her pink cheeks and said with a smile: "From now on, you are my sister, and I am your sister." ”

"Sister. Yue'er happily hugged Li Yueli.

The surrounding slaves looked at each other, people were more angry than people, and what they said was true!
