Chapter 36: How to Save Him?
And Zhao Yan and Zhao Lin followed closely, so that in addition to the sound of a few people stepping on the stairs in the empty dark passage, only the sound of breathing remained.
After walking more than a hundred steps, the dark passage is no longer inclined downward, but becomes a wide and bright straight passage, and the lampposts on both sides of the passage are lit with oil lamps, which are much larger and brighter than the oil lamps in the dark passage.
After walking a distance, a gate appeared in front of him, and in front of the gate stood five strong men in black clothes and copper masks on the left and right, and in the middle stood a thin-faced man with a goatee. ”
"Naturally, it's a bet." Zhao Lin on the side handed over the silver ticket, "What's the highlight today?" ”
"There are nobles who send slaves to sit here for three days in a row, but there is no winner in all the challenges of slaves. If he can win him, the guest will receive all the silver taels he has won in the past three days, as well as the five thousand taels of silver that the dealer has bet. The thin-faced man replied.
"Is the slave beater here?" Zhao Yan asked again.
The thin-faced man glanced at Zhao Yan and Su Moyang, smiled, and did not answer. Zhao Yan took out another bag of silver from his arms and handed it to the thin-faced man, "If you answer well, these silver are yours." ”
The thin-faced man took the silver bag in his hand and flipped it, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, "That slave was brought by the nobleman himself, and it is said that he was seriously injured before he came. ”
Since Duan Fu entered this building, he has become more and more unable to understand the purpose of Su Moyang's trip. Listening to the conversation between the two now, it seems that Su Moyang is not a casino, but a competitive game, like a beast game, and the one used here is not a beast, but a person.
"Go to the prison and pick a stronger slave, and we'll have a good time today." Su Moyang said.
"Yes." Zhao Yan received the order and was taken to the cell by the subordinates here.
As for where the cell was, Duan Fu didn't know, because she and Su Moyang were led by the thin-faced man into the gate, through a corridor, climbed one floor, and entered a separate room.
Immediately upon entering the room, there was a cacophony of noise, the shouts and shouts of the crowd, mixed with muffled grunts and screams of pain when someone was injured. These voices came from the only window in the room.
Duan Fu walked over, and at a glance, there was a sea of people.
Except that the ring in the middle is an open space, and the surroundings are almost crowded with people, waving their arms at the people in the ring with silver tickets in their hands, shouting, insulting, screaming, and noisy...... The scene was shocking.
"What do you want me to see?" Duan Fu looked at the two people who were beating each other in the ring under the window, and he was in a complicated mood for a while. The soul of the modern world makes her unable to see this competitive game of human rights abuse.
Su Moyang came behind her, "Take you to meet an acquaintance." ”
Acquaintance? Duan Fu looked back at her in surprise, she had no acquaintances and relatives at all in Tiansheng Kingdom, except for her master, and some were just her patients.
Su Moyang looked at her for a moment, then looked away at the ring under the court, "He is the final finale, he won't play so early, if you feel bored, you can sit down and eat some melons and fruits." ”
One of them in the ring was knocked out of the ring, fell heavily on the ring, clutched his chest and spit out a mouthful of blood, his face was pale and bloodless for a moment, but the other person did not give up, but rushed over, picked up his fist and punched the man's head, I don't know how many punches, until the man could not move, the man did not stop.
He raised his hands and ran on the platform, his face was bloodied, and his hands were bright red, and he didn't know if it was his, or the man who fell to the ground.
Some people in the crowd of onlookers below the stage cheered, and some people cursed.
Duan Fu saw that there was a rich woman in the opposite window with a smug smile on her face and slanted at the other window, while the young woman in the other window looked angry and unwilling.
The two of them noticed that Duan Fu was looking at the two of them, and they immediately looked at her, the young woman glared at Duan Fu, but the rich woman had a smile on her face, but the gaze that fell on Duan Fu made people feel uncomfortable.
Duan Fu grabbed the window lattice tightly with both hands, unable to speak for a moment, watching the person who fell to the ground being carried down, not knowing life and death, she suddenly felt sad.
This is a feudal dynasty, this kind of game that regards human life as a mustard, she has no power to stop it, let alone a voice.
"That man, what will be the end?" She asked, breathing a little unsteadily.
Su Moyang saw that she was in a different mood, thinking that she was asking for an 'acquaintance', so he replied very coldly, "If he loses this game, his buyer should lose a lot of silver." If it is a slave in the building, the end will be nothing but self-destruction. If the buyer brought the slave himself, maybe he would have been a dead man when he got out of here! ”
Duan Fu looked back at Su Moyang, and a pair of light eyes saw through him the hierarchy of the entire feudal society, "Is human life so cheap in the eyes of the powerful and rich?" ”
Su Moyang stood behind Duan Fu, listening to her say this, and facing her clear and transparent eyes, his heart was slammed into a blow, and he finally understood what she was doing just now.
He frowned slightly, he didn't understand why Duan Fu's exclamation started, and after a moment of silence, he replied to Duan Fu, "What you love and I want, why do you talk about it lightly?" ”
Su Moyang's words are not unreasonable. Even if everyone is equal, there will be unfairness, and the reality is always cruel......
Duan Fu didn't speak again, there was already another pair of slaves on the stage to compete, she watched silently, but in her heart she wondered what the 'acquaintance' Su Moyang just said would have to do with her.
At the end of the competition, it was the turn of the thin-faced man to play the finale. According to the commentator on the field, the last slave on the field will have to play ten and win six games in a row before his dealer can win, so that he can get a chance to live.
"Master, it's been arranged." Zhao Yan came in from outside and said respectfully to Su Moyang.
Duan Fu turned around and glanced at Su Moyang, the doubts in her eyes became more and more obvious, but she didn't ask more. Because the long-awaited slave was soon on the stage, the clothes on the man who came were no longer colorless, and there was a suspicious dark red on them, perhaps blood, or something else.
He had an iron mask on his face, because he was far away, Duan Fu couldn't see the facial features of the person on the stage clearly, and he only felt that the iron mask on this person's face was very similar to the man in black who stabbed Su Moyang that day.
"Who is he?" She turned around, looked at Su Moyang and asked.
Su Moyang glanced at her, his eyes were a little cold, and his voice was even more unwavering, "I don't know." ”
"Whose slave is he?" Duan Fu followed and asked.
She didn't know why she was so nervous and worried. But if the person on the stage was really the man in black that day, she wanted to save him. Although she has repeatedly escaped from the identity and life experience of the original owner, when the man in black who assassinated Su Moyang that day clearly knew her.
He knew her, and the moment he saw her, he was especially shocked, and even had an irrepressible joy, because the meeting was too sudden, he could suppress his emotions, and turned the tip of his sword and pointed at Su Moyang.
He didn't want to hurt her, he knew her.
These are the two pieces of information that Duan Fu got from his gaze.
Although she didn't want to admit and fulfill, she occupied the original owner's body after all, and there were some things that she couldn't escape.
Su Moyang didn't say anything, but his eyes looked at the window diagonally opposite, it was a middle-aged fat man, with a bloated figure, a round face with a visible three-layer chin, and several jade wrenches on his fingers.
However, this person looks like a tacky outburst when he is dressed.
Duan Fu followed Su Moyang's gaze, she frowned slightly, "This person is his master?" In this case, he must have something to do with the man in black in the house that day. Why don't you check him out and take me to see the tournament instead? ”
At this time, there was no longer only a man wearing an iron mask in the arena, there were ten people walking side by side in the passage leading to the arena, the first one was sturdy, with a fierce evil light in his eyes, and he was by no means a good kind at first glance.
The nine people behind this person were all about the same height and size, but the man in the iron mask standing on the stage was pitifully thin, and his ragged clothes hung on him, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
"This person is not the real master behind the scenes, but just a stupid hat who has been taken advantage of." Su Moyang said.
Duan Fu didn't understand the meaning of his words, he turned his head to look at him, he didn't look at her, but looked at the competition on the field, "It's started, don't you watch?" ”
The fight has begun in the arena, and the crowd below the arena is full of voices, and today's finale, everyone is looking forward to it and placing bets. At this moment, the competition is the boiling point of today's audience, and the cheers and shouts below the field are higher than one another.
It's as if you're fighting on the field, not someone else.
Duan Fu turned his head to look, and just saw the iron masked man punching the strong man, but the strong man was as steady as Mount Tai and motionless, but the iron masked man took a small half step back because of the recoil force.
The iron mask, which only showed a pair of eyes and two nostrils, was like a narrow iron cage, and it was an insult, but also oppression and imprisonment.
Now, Duan Fu finally understood why Su Moyang was so sure that after she came here, she would not think about escaping the palace again. Because......
"How can I save him?" She asked in a hoarse voice.
There was an emotion rising in her heart, and although she tried to restrain it, she could not suppress it.
Sad, so sad!
Although she had guessed that she would have this plan early on, after she said it herself, Su Moyang's heart was a little unhappy, "Who is he?" ”
