Chapter 45: Slave Fighting
That slut and Li Shuang'er are all the way, is it possible that you are afraid that you will not find her?
"Two nobles, the fastest update
Which noble person smashed what, Wu Niang, I remember it clearly.
It will never be scribbled casually, so please rest assured. ”
Xue Wuniang smiled softly.
She had already prepared the bill for the broken things just now, and handed them to Helan Mingyue and Li Shuang'er respectively.
Half-squinted eyes and smiled:
"Of course, the dignified Changshan Palace's Mansion and the Hussar General's Mansion, how can they care about these mere silver taels."
Helan Mingyue and Li Shuang'er took the bill handed over by Xue Wuniang and glanced at each other hatefully.
Helan Mingyue grinned, touched her chin, and walked away with the girls first.
Helan Mingyue left Linglong Pavilion with a snort, and hurriedly went back to see the injury on his chin.
When I see that my chin is broken a little bit, I may leave a scar.
I was so angry that I grabbed something and smashed it.
Her father, King Changshan, and eldest brother, Helan Min, both hurried over to see what was wrong with this unruly county lord.
"Father, my daughter has been bullied!" Helan Mingyue snorted angrily.
"Let's talk about it, who is bold enough to provoke my Helan Jiuzhen's daughter!" Helan Jiu looked at the wound on her daughter's chin with real distress.
"Yes, my brother is going to teach her a lesson!" Helan Mindu also said.
Helan Mingyue added fuel and vinegar to tell her father, Helan Jiuzhen, the king of Changshan, and her brother Helan Mindu, how she was bullied and injured by Li Shuang'er and a woman named Gu Qingcheng.
"That woman named Gu Qingcheng is so bold and bullying my county lord's sister?" Helan Min was shocked.
Helan Mingyue nodded bitterly.
"How dare anyone be so ignorant?" Helan Mindu was not without curiosity.
"Yue'er, Li Shuang'er and that woman are really annoying, just a hussar general's mansion, dare not put my Changshan Wangfu in their eyes!" Helan Jiuzhen, the king of Changshan, first comforted his daughter.
Then the conversation changed and said:
"But Yue'er, you have to check it yourself, you haven't become the princess of Gaoyang yet.
King Gaoyang's eyes were empty, and he couldn't say anything.
If you ruin your reputation, it will be an obstacle for you to become the princess of Gaoyang.
Don't blame your father for not reminding you that you don't shoot yourself in the foot. ”
When Helan Mingyue heard her father say this, she gritted her teeth and said:
"Okay, this county lord has remembered their accounts for the time being, and one day, I must let them taste the taste of my Changshan Palace!"
"Well, that's right. When you become the princess of Gaoyang, if you want to deal with Li Shuang'er or others, isn't it easy? Changshan King Helan Jiuzhen praised.
Li Shuang'er and An Lingtina saw Helan Mingyue leave Linglong Pavilion in a gloomy manner, and Li Shuang'er smiled happily as if she had won victory.
As soon as the people were happy, they helped Wu Niang with a lot of business.
An Lingtina said to Li Shuang'er:
"Shuang'er, my sister watched you grow up, don't be too proud, that Helan Mingyue is not easy to mess with."
"What are you afraid of, the sister named Allure just now easily taught her a lesson and made her eat." Li Shuang'er was still full of spring breeze and said with a grin.
"Do you think that Allure sister just now, I don't know that you took advantage of her?" Anlingtina shook her head.
looked at her with some disgust, after all, she was born in Jiangmen, and she was vulgar.
But she has been coming to Anguo Mansion with Li Jun since she was a child, and Li Shuang'er likes to stick to her.
Anlingtina has never taken her seriously, thinking that she will not pose any threat to herself, and they have been in contact with each other for many years.
"But she still willingly taught Helan Mingyue a lesson." Li Shuang'er squinted the fox eyes and smiled slyly.
"You say, who was that Gu Qingcheng just now?" Anlingtina muttered again.
"I don't know who she is, I just know that she accidentally became the barrel of my gun." Li Shuang'er smiled narrowly.
Then he hummed a little song and left with Anlingtina.
Gu Tingcheng and Gu Qing left Linglong Pavilion, and Gu Qing led her to the end of Suzaku Street, but she kept looking at Gu Tingcheng curiously.
"Allure, do you know martial arts?" Gu Qing said, "Your trick just now Feiyan scribbled the water, it's so beautiful!" ”
"I don't know any martial arts, just some light skills." Gu Qingcheng smiled.
"That Helan Mingyue and Li Shuang'er just now, obviously, were jealous of King Gaoyang." Gu Qing said worriedly.
Gu Qingcheng smiled indifferently, she actually didn't want to get involved in other people's rivalry and jealousy.
"You were involved for no reason, and you accidentally made Li Shuang'er's gun, I'm afraid that it is Helan Mingyue, the lord of Shangyang County, who won't let you go."
"I didn't mess with her, she found fault with herself, and the soldiers came to cover the water. Let's talk about it later. Gu Tingcheng said disapprovingly.
"You are a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, do you know the identity of those women?" Gu Qing said worriedly.
"What identity?" Gu Qingcheng asked lazily.
As I walked, I looked at the many shops on the street and the pedestrians coming and going.
"That county lord of Liyang is the daughter of Duke An Guo, and she used to be the first beauty of Great Wei," Gu Qing looked at Gu Qingcheng and smiled, "But her title is going to be given to you now." ”
Gu Tingcheng shook his head and smiled, his heart was really a veritable beauty.
"That Li Shuang'er is the sister of the hussar general Li Jun and the daughter of the general. Tricky and weird, can't be provoked. ”
Gu Qingcheng nodded, she knew these two women before.
"That Shangyang county lord is even more difficult to mess with, and he is the pearl of the crown princess's brother-in-law, King Changshan.
Like Princess Kamiya, she is notoriously rude and willful, and has always admired her cousin, His Royal Highness King Gaoyang. ”
Gu Qing saw that Gu Qingcheng's expression remained the same, this sister really didn't know whether to live or die.
"Listening to Helan Mingyue's tone just now, it seems that she is the rightful Princess of Gaoyang." Gu Tingcheng Road.
"Didn't Li Shuang'er say it, Princess Gaoyang, I don't know who the flowers are." Gu Qing shook his head and said.
"The barbaric county lord, plus Miss Diao, I will have to worry about His Royal Highness the King of Gaoyang." Gu Qingcheng sighed.
She thought of the highness she rescued on the road, if there was no accident, that person was His Royal Highness King Gaoyang.
"That King Goyang is the idol of all the women in Heiseong, and all the young women want to marry the man.
Now it seems that if I were the King of Gaoyang, I would have been entangled by so many women all day long, and I would have died of a headache.
It can be seen that it is really not a good thing to be entangled by these vulgar fans. Gu Qing shook his head and trembled.
"Forget it, Zifei fish, the joy of knowing fish." Gu Qingcheng said sarcastically, "Maybe King Gaoyang enjoys the pleasure of being held by the stars very much." ”
"Three women in one play, where there are many women, is a place of right and wrong." Gu Qing shook his head in fear.
Holding Gu Qingcheng's hand, he looked at the corner of an ancient castle not far away.
Gu Qingcheng was a little unsure.
Gu Qing continued:
"Let's go, big brother will take you to the most lively place in Pingcheng, there is no jealousy of women, only the killing of men."
"The killing of men?" Gu Qingcheng frowned and asked, "What kind of place is that?" ”
"The fighting arena of Heijo." Gu Qing said excitedly.
"What's there to see about the fighting ring?" Gu Qingcheng was noncommittal.
The fighting arena was just around the corner at the end of Vermilion Bird Street, and while he was talking, Gu Qing had already led Gu Qingcheng to the place that looked like an ancient castle.
"Inside is the liveliest martial arts arena in Heijo, which is divided into morning and afternoon games.
It's not yet noon, and we still have to see, we can go to the fighting arena and watch the slaves fight. Gu Qing said.
"Slave fighting?" Gu Tingcheng frowned and asked.
I think of the hunting ground of King Dongping, the wild wolves chasing the slave girls and the ruthless arrows of King Dongping.
Her fists clenched.
"yes. Slaves were the spoils of war for the nobles and wealthy men, who would train slaves and compete in duels to determine victory or defeat.
It is the most exciting event in Pingcheng, and I heard that the dignitaries and nobles in the city will come to watch. Gu Qing was eager to try.
"What a miserable world!" Gu Qingcheng sighed and asked again: "Will the game kill people?" ”
"Of course it's going to die, it's a duel of life and death. Contestants have to knock down their opponents, or even kill them, in order to win. Gu Qing seemed to be talking about an ordinary thing.
"So cruel?"
Gu Qingcheng frowned, and thought of the skinned human flesh frog again.
The cruelest thing in the world should be nothing more than this, right?
"Big brother, have you come to see it before?" Gu Tingcheng asked again.
"I've always wanted to come and see it, but I didn't have a chance. My father said he would wait until I was crowned before he let me in. Gu Qing looked a little stunned.
Gu Tingcheng smiled:
"I think the eldest brother is right, it turns out that you haven't seen it yourself."
"I heard the son of Lu Shangshu's family in Shangwutang, almost all the students in Shangwutang have been there, so I sent your brother and me." Gu Qing explained.
Originally, she was reluctant to go, but since she dared to watch the skinning of people, she wanted to see the slave life and death duel again, and see how many tragic things there were in Great Wei.
Gu Qing had already paid two silver to enter the market, and also bought two strings of rock sugar gourds at the stall next to him, and entered the venue with one string at a time.
The oval-shaped fighting arena is built with dozens of trapezoidal stands, and people sit on high stands and watch the slaves fighting below.
The arena at this time was not crowded, and there were only about half of the seats, sitting in the audience.
"Usually slaves have breakfast and are driven to the fighting ring by their slave owners.
It's almost noon now, and it's still early, and the dignitaries can't get up so early, so the morning is not so lively.
In the afternoon, the most exciting slave duel is the most exciting. Gu Qing looked at the slaves who appeared one after another below and introduced.
I saw that the fighting arena was already covered in blood, and it was obvious that there were already many casualties.
The sturdy slaves, dressed in cowhide with numbers on the leather, and long chains tied to their hands and feet, were driven into the arena like cattle.
There was a couple of slaves on the field screaming and fighting.
People were in high spirits and began to call out to place bets.
Slaves come out of the cage like trapped beasts, fighting against their opponents, either you die or I live.
Only by killing the other party at all costs can you have a chance to survive in this game.
And in the next game, whether there is any hope of survival, the slaves dare not have the extravagance.
Gu Qingcheng looked at the spectators who were gambling money, pouted and shook his head:
"It turned out that they were watching slave fighting, betting and gambling, no wonder they were so excited. It's too cruel to gamble with the lives of these slaves. ”
"I've only heard about it, and I know that the spectators bet on slave fighting.
When I really saw the scene of gambling with human life, I also felt cruel. Gu Qing also frowned.
At this time, the duelists on the field, I saw them wielding hammers and maces, desperately beckoning to each other.
Bright red blood kept spurting out from both sides, very bloody.
There were many puddles on the mud floor, like ghostly red glows.
It turned out that it was not a puddle, but a puddle formed by flowing blood flowing to a low-lying place.
Not long after the duel, one of the slaves in the field had no time to scream and smashed his head, and his brain overflowed.
Just a pair of winners and losers, the audience was emotionally surging, the winners shouted happily, and the losers cried and scolded their mothers.
The other pair followed suit. Both sides wielded swords and swords.
With sparks in the shadows of the swords, they slashed at each other, and the two were evenly matched, and everyone was injured.
Every time he slashed in, Gu Qingcheng was as frightened as if he had cut his own flesh.
Dozens of rounds later, a slave was stabbed from his jaw by his opponent with a knife to the Heavenly Spirit Gai, blood gushing like a spring, the man snorted, and then died.
Next, another pair entered, the stout man made a pair of halberds with hooks, and the tall and thin tough guys made a pair of hook sickles.
The two fought hard for dozens of rounds, and the stout man found a gap, poked and pulled the tall and thin tough guy's stomach, and the man's intestines flowed to the ground.
The tall, thin tough guy stared at his intestines in disbelief, and finally collapsed without a blink.
"It's too bloody, it's too cruel...... The lives of these slaves, in the eyes of those slave owners, are even cheaper than ants. Gu Qingcheng trembled and said with indignation.
She has always boasted of her boldness, but she was even thrilled to watch.
Gu Qingcheng had already thrown away the rock sugar gourd, and tears couldn't help but gush out anymore.
I wanted to vomit in my stomach, but I couldn't, and my chest was very uncomfortable.
"I thought that King Dongping's beauty hunting ground and slaughtering female slaves were already hell on earth.
I didn't expect this slave fighting arena to be an out-and-out Hades Palace! Gu Tingcheng said coldly.
Such a bloody and brutal duel was simply miserable, and Gu Qingcheng really couldn't stand it.
"I'm sorry Allure, although I knew that people would die, but I didn't expect it to be so cruel and terrifying.
I'm really sorry, I don't believe Lu Gongzi's words anymore. Let's go. Gu Qing said.
hugged Gu Tingcheng, patted her on the back, made her feel better, and then helped Gu Tingcheng up with a guilty face.
Such a tragic scene, those people still watch so pleasantly, those excited, so carnival!
Gu Qingcheng didn't know what the structure of those people's hearts was, and he actually regarded the lives of these slaves as so despicable, even inferior to animals.
If it is possible, she must stop these from continuing!
Certain!!!
She thought of King Dongping's hunting ground again, those miserable slave girls.
I think of the prison, the hell on earth, the devil who skinned people.
Gu Qingcheng's legs and feet were weak, and his body was weak, so he couldn't help leaning on Gu Qing.
Gu Qing hugged her with a look of pity and guilt.
Seeing the guilt on Gu Qing's face, she forced herself to smile again and comforted:
"Big brother, you don't have to feel guilty. This world is so cruel.
It's okay, I've seen more brutal scenes, but I just can't bear to watch it. Get outside and rest for a while, and I'll be fine. ”
Gu Qingcheng smiled lightly and planned to leave......
