Chapter 15: Moonlight
Tonight is a special night for the city, where the biggest entertainment venue, the Moonlight Pearl, is about to host a feast every six months.
The Moon Flower Pearl belongs to the Bright Moon Guild, which is one of the five guilds in Snow City.
Every six months, the Moon Flower Pearl hosts such a feast, the drinks become more expensive, the ticket prices become higher, but the number of people attending the feast does not decrease but increases.
Tonight, a huge carriage belonging to the Bright Moon Guild will drive in from the south gate of Xuelu City, and this large carriage will be loaded with the "items" to be used in the Moonlight Pearl Feast.
The south gate of Xueluo City is generally deserted and there are no guards, and only today, Xueluo City will arrange guards to go to the south gate, not to guard the city gate, but to stop these men blocking the south gate and clear a way for the carriage that is about to arrive.
"No one is allowed here, all of them are for me to go home, do you hear?" The guards drove the south gate clean, and on the grounds of maintaining order, no one could be left within a radius of several hundred meters from the south gate of Xuelu City.
The giant carriage was pulled by several sturdy horses, and a black cloth covering the entire carriage made it difficult to see the "goods" inside, and He Qing, the chief manager of the Bright Moon Guild, sat in the only driver's seat of the carriage, and he was fully responsible for this transportation.
"Mr. He, hey, hey, I've really worked hard for you today." A man dressed as a warrior came to the side of the carriage and chatted with Chief Ho, who was the captain of the South Gate Guard.
"Hard work is hard work, but think about the benefits that will grow later, it's also bitter and comfortable, what? What does the captain have to talk to me about? Manager He said with a smile.
"You all avoid it, I have something important to discuss with Mr. He." The captain of the guard team opened all the members of the guard at the south gate, and he wanted to be alone with Chief He for a while.
"Hey, hey, Mr. He, this is a little raw when you call the captain, just call me brother." The man said.
"Oh, hehe, since my brother said so, then I might as well be respectful." Manager He said.
"That's right, Mr. Ho,......" the man said as he shoved something into Mr. Ho's hand.
"Oh, brother, this is ......" With the ability of the great manager, he can recognize the thing in his hand even if he smells it, this is silver, and the weight is not light.
"Oh, Mr. He, you see our friendship, you know, how lively the Yuehua Pearl is, if these 'goods' are transported to the Yuehua Pearl Feast, with my brother's economic strength, if the auction is carried out, I will definitely not be able to grab it, so the elder brother can see if he can be accommodating, and I will steal one for the younger brother, how about it?" The man had a degraded smile on his face, and Manager He showed a hint of embarrassment.
"Brother, you also know the temper of the president of the Mingyue Guild, if he finds out that I am engaged in private transactions, my head will be cut off for him, no matter how much money there is, it is not important to die, so my brother is a little embarrassed." Chief Manager He shook his head and said.
"Brother, don't you say that I don't say that there will be a third person in this world who knows, you just underreport the number, it's all a small thing, brother......" As he spoke, the man stuffed something into the hands of Chief Manager He.
"Oh, my brother's desire is quite strong, but it's still a little light." Manager He pinched the metal bump in his hand.
"Alas...... Brother, it's not light, it's not light. The captain of the guard gritted his teeth and stuffed a few more for Chief He.
"Brother, you have a persistent heart, and you can do great things in the future." Manager He said.
"Hey, I still hope that my brother will do it."
"Okay, brother, I'll be accommodating to you this time." The silver taels in his hand were stuffed into his pocket, and Manager He said with a smile.
"Alas, thank you, brother, thank you." The man nodded hurriedly.
"Pick one."
The chief steward lifted the black cloth that covered the carriage, and the black cloth covered a large wooden cell, all of which were tied and gagged by women.
Human trafficking is one of the main sources of income for the Bright Moon Guild, they will go to various places in the north to kidnap or buy all kinds of women, and then auction them at the feast of the Moon Pearl, Xuelu City is a gathering place for warriors, naturally there are more men than women, and the ratio has reached a terrible nine to one, so this dark activity is difficult to suppress the popularity.
The captain of the guard entered the prison of the carriage, and the women were so frightened that they kept retreating, for fear that the man had chosen him.
There was only one woman, who was not afraid at all, and there was only disgust in her eyes.
"That's it." The captain of the guard gestured to the woman who was different.
This woman's body has everything it should have, bumpy and graceful, which is really good.
"My brother's vision is really good." Manager He said.
"Hehe, thank you so much, brother."
"Okay, take her away."
The woman didn't do anything to resist, so she naturally left with the captain of the guard, and Manager He was also very surprised, usually the women who were taken away had to go through a struggle, this woman was really different, but he didn't care too much.
……
The moonlight in the alley was beautiful, and the captain of the guard walked with the woman he had just bought.
"Little beauty, I am the captain of the guards of Xuelu City, and I promise to eat and drink spicy food in the future."
The captain of the guard is starting to move.
"You lean in a little more." The woman said so to him.
The woman's hair was long, and she gently shook the green hair.
It was night, the moonlight was hazy, and it was indescribably beautiful! This woman is simply playing with fire.
"Oh, hey, hey." The captain of the guard leaned his face leaning indecently.
The woman tossed her hair, and strands of it ran across the neck of the captain of the guard.
"Whew."
The captain of the guard snorted, and at first he felt only a chill pass through him, but the pain eventually came, and he took a few steps back with his neck clutched.
This woman actually has a blade tied to her hair!
The captain of the guard tried to escape, but the woman didn't seem to want to let him go.
The woman threw up her long hair and frantically attacked the captain of the guard, obviously a martial arts move, but it was like dancing, how beautiful and elegant, just like this quiet moonlight.
But in the eyes of the captain of the guard, she is a demon under the moon.
The captain of the guard was unable to shout because his throat was broken, and everything happened in the alley where he returned home, and no one noticed.
The woman retrieved the key from the body of the captain of the guard and unlocked her shackles.
"Sure enough, as the master expected, Xuelu City has long been rotten, and Wu Tian really can't keep it." The woman muttered to herself.
She cut her hair, tied it up, and quietly walked out of the alley.
