Chapter 199: Dragons and Phoenixes Among People
On the evening of the second day, before it was dark, the bright yellow lanterns were hung high on the stalls of the Mengcheng Market.
The whole city of Mongolia is shrouded in a warmth, crowded with people, the sound of children frolicking, and the shouting of merchants, noisy and noisy, but for no reason people feel lively and warm.
Xiao Rongyan planned to leave for Nanyan Capital tomorrow morning, so he came today to make up for the excitement of this evening market.
It was about the first day that Xiao Rongyan came to the pomp and circumstance, and the shot was too generous, so many vendors who saw it knew Xiao Rongyan and moved forward with their own goods.
Xiao Rongyan was attracted by a white horse that day and missed the slave market, so he came there to see it today.
When he walked to the slave market under the escort of the knife, the biggest slave trader in the market was holding an unkempt little girl standing on a high place and shouting: "Don't look at this little girl's unkempt face, but look at the material this little girl wears...... is definitely the child of a wealthy family in the Jin Kingdom! It must be fine-skinned and tender, buy it back and train it well, and you will enjoy endless blessings in the future! ”
As soon as the loud voice of the slave trader fell, a man who watched the excitement crowded into the crowd and shouted: "How do we know if it is fine skin and tender meat in such thick clothes...... Touch it, so that we can know if it is really fine skin and tender meat! ”
Some of the women gathered around the slave bazaar to watch the excitement frowned, brushed their sleeves and left.
The little lady who was pulled by the slave trader's arm trembled all over, hugged herself hard, her face was pale, if she picked off her clothes in public and was touched again, she would have no face to live, she immediately struggled: "Let go of me!" Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated! I must not suffer such a humiliation! ”
The little lady was crying, knowing that Shi Ke could not be killed, and said a mouthful of official words of the Jin Kingdom, thinking that she was indeed a girl from a wealthy family.
The more the little lady on the stage struggled and cried more miserably, the more energetic the audience became.
"You can't touch it! But it can really let you take a good look! ”
So saying, the slave dealer went and tore the girl's garment.
But before the slave dealer could really tear the girl's clothes open, the slave dealer's hand was pulled back as if stung by something, and he looked left and right with wide eyes as if he had seen a ghost, and for a moment the crying little lady struggled to let go of his hand, and almost hit his head on the pillar, but fortunately was caught by the two thugs of the slave trader in time.
The slave trader looked down at his red and swollen hands, what the hell?!
"Hey! Are you going to let us watch it or not?! "There's a man down there.
"Did you buy it?" The slave trader asked with a smile.
The man who was asked had his hands on his sleeves, his ears were red and shrunk into the crowd, just to take advantage of it, if he really had that spare money to buy hard work, wouldn't he go to the Qinglou to be happy and happy?
The little lady who was caught by the slave traders' thugs was still crying, begging the slave traders to give her a good time and let her die!
The rich men who were originally interested in this little lady with a soft Jin official dialect stopped thinking about it when they saw that this little lady was going to seek death, otherwise they would buy this girl back and look for death, wouldn't it be a waste of silver.
Xiao Rongyan was far away, his eyes fell on the high platform built by the wooden plank, and he saw a stone not far from the slave trader's feet, and his eyes looked past the trafficker towards the cage behind him.
In the darkness of the cage, there was a young man sitting cross-legged in a corner in ragged clothes, who did not look very old...... At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he sits like a green pine, and has the posture of a son of a family.
Sensing that someone was looking at him, the young man raised his eyes......
Xiao Rongyan's eyes shrank slightly, the child's eyes were a little familiar, his eyes were deep and quiet, since he could hit the slave trader with a stone, how did he get caught?!
Maybe...... The poor family was sold?
The young man sat calmly and calmly in the cage without avoiding Xiao Rongyan's gaze, where did he look like a child from a poor family? And fifteen or sixteen years old is a strong laborer, and it is not a doll who can only eat and drink at the age of three or four.
Xiao Rongyan thought about it, turned his head sideways and ordered Wang Jiuzhou beside him.
Wang Jiuzhou nodded, spared the crowd in front and went to the back to find the slave trader, and pointed to the cross-legged man in the cage and said that he wanted to buy it.
The slave trader said with a small face: "You have a good eye! That's a Jin soldier I saved on the way, and it's okay to buy it back and do anything! It's just a little expensive! ”
Wang Jiuzhou smiled and took out a money bag from his sleeve and threw it to the slave traders, saying, "So much...... Buy this Jin soldier, and the little girl from the Jin Kingdom just now! Is it enough?! ”
When the slave trader opened it, his eyes narrowed into a slit with joy, and his attitude was more flattering and courteous than before: "Enough, enough! Absolutely! Nothing more! So...... I don't want to accept so much money from you! You pick two more to take away......"
The slave trader's posture seemed to be ready to open up to Wang Jiuzhou to try to introduce himself to these slaves, Wang Jiuzhou smiled and said: "No, I want these two!" Our master is still waiting, and he doesn't dare to delay! Don't dare to specialize! ”
Only then did the slave trader nod again and again, and asked people to bring out the girl and the boy in the cage just now for Wang Jiuzhou to take away.
Before leaving, the young man looked at the slave trader and bowed to the ground, thanking the slave trader for saving his life, no matter what the purpose of the slave trader, but in the cold and biting Jing River, if it were not for the slave trader to save him...... He had already froze to death.
It was about the first time that the slave trader saw someone who had been sold and saluted, and he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't wait to come back to his senses...... And he saw that the young man had gone away from the steward.
Wang Jiuzhou took the two people he bought back and returned to the big mansion rented by Xiao Rongyan.
asked people to carry water for the two to bathe and change clothes, Wang Jiuzhou sat on the chair and drank tea slowly, guessing the master's intention to buy the man and woman.
Soon, the young man who was bathing and changing clothes changed his clothes and came out, and Wang Jiuzhou, who had read countless people, was also shocked.
The young man was straight, tall and slender, and his facial features were handsome and extraordinary, especially his eyes...... Sharp and hidden, his bearing is by no means an ordinary teenager, he can be called the dragon and phoenix among people.
How could such a character fall into the hands of slave traders?
In addition to doubts, Wang Jiuzhou felt that his master's eyes were like torches, and he was nested in a cage with such an unkempt face, and their master also knew that this young man was extraordinary.
It was probably because of the young man's noble bearing that Wang Jiuzhou, who was used to being a slave, spoke very politely to the young man and asked the young man to go with him to see his master.
