Chapter 36: The Slave Market
"Why?"
"She doesn't want to go back to Jingzhou."
"Oh. Then you're going to take her back to Jingzhou now? ”
"Nope." The military beauty shook her head, "I'm here to entrust you to help our Xia family take care of her." ”
"Take care of her? Why? ”
"Because of this."
The military beauty handed Jiang Yue a newspaper.
The newspaper had a black headline: "The whole country mourns, the imperial minister Xia Lian Xihai martyred heroically!" ”
Glancing at the content below, it was the Hiss Emperor Pontal who led his army to raid the galaxy where the Xia family in Jingzhou was located. The head of the Xia family in Jingzhou, an important minister of the empire, one of the eight Shangzhu countries, one of the elders of the Senate, and the commander of the Tianxiong Army Xia Lian Xihai, led the army to fight back, unfortunately died, and died heroically. The Imperial Senate held a solemn mourning ceremony, and Emperor Rodhart vowed to avenge him......
"Her grandfather died." The look of the military beauty was very calm.
"She ......" Jiang Yue understood.
There has been a drastic change in the Xia family in Jingzhou.
How the situation will develop in the future, no one knows.
At such a critical time, of course the Xia family would not take Xia Muyan back.
Moreover, in the following time, the remnants of the Xia family and the Tianxiong army in Jingzhou will devote themselves to the battle against aggression.
War is brutal, bloody, merciless, and anything can happen.
Perhaps, the beauty in military uniform in front of him will also sacrifice his life for the country.
Perhaps, every heir of the Xia family in Jingzhou will die heroically.
They will shed their last drop of blood for the sake of this country, for their own people.
Perhaps, when the war ended, the only remaining bloodline of the Xia family in Jingzhou was Xia Muyan.
"She has just passed the assessment of the eight-star bronze saint." Jiang Yue said slowly, "Her talent is good. ”
"She's the only hope for our Xia family." The beauty in military uniform said slowly, "If you love her, please protect her." If you don't love her, don't hurt her. ”
"I promise. I'll take care of her. I wouldn't hurt her either. Jiang Yue said with a solemn expression, "Aren't you going in and saying goodbye to her?" ”
"No need. Just because I haven't been here. The beauty in military uniform suddenly put her feet together and stood up in salute.
"Please, Jiang Yue." She bent down deeply in thanks.
"I ......" Jiang Yue immediately choked up.
Where is this?
Why did she do this......
However, she had already turned around and strode away.
Looking at her distant back, Jiang Yue actually felt that his eyes were full of tears, but he didn't hold back.
He stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how time was passing.
Until Xia Muyan appeared.
"What's wrong with you?" Xia Muyan asked curiously.
"Nothing?" Jiang Yue smiled reluctantly and said slowly, "Let's go out to eat!" ”
"Is this a date?"
"It doesn't count."
"Why?"
"Because of this ......"
Jiang Yue handed the newspaper to Xia Muyan.
Long pain is better than short pain, sooner or later you have to accept it, it is better to tell now.
Xia Muyan's gaze fell on the newspaper, and his face suddenly turned pale. Her body began to tremble slightly. Tears welled up in my eyes.
However, it didn't take long for her to control her emotions well.
She slowly put the newspaper away and hid it.
"Condolences and change." Jiang Yue said slowly.
"That's what my grandfather longed for." She said with a calm expression.
"Pontall......" Jiang Yue sighed silently.
The number one master in the starry sky world!
Emperor Pontal of the Hiss Empire!
His name is a great shock.
In the other countries of the starry world, who is not afraid of Pontall?
Now, with the huge chariot of the Hiss Empire, he has entered the Galactic Empire. Who can predict what the future will bring?
"I'm going to buy a few slaves." Xia Muyan staggered the topic.
"I'll go with you." Jiang Yue was worried that something would happen to her.
It is said that the calmer some people are on the surface, the more irritated they are inside.
If Xia Muyan cried out and fainted, maybe it would be a good thing. She is so calm, but even more terrifying.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Xia Muyan said calmly, "Our Xia family, many people die in battle every year, and I am used to all kinds of bad news. Three months ago, my sixth brother died tragically. ”
"The important minister of the empire, the great elder of the Senate, the eight Shangzhu countries, the commander of the Tianxiong Army, the outside world doesn't know how envious, jealous and hateful ......" She reached out and combed her still a little damp hair, and said a little sadly, "But who knows the price we paid?" There are not many other things in our Xia family, but there are many widows. Three of my six brothers have given their lives for the country. This time, I'm afraid the remaining three will also follow Grandpa. ”
"So, I will never be weak, and I can't be weak." She said a little sadly, "I have to learn to live on my own and learn to take care of myself." ”
"I'll go with you to buy slaves!" Jiang Yue didn't want to continue with these heavy topics. His mood was too depressed.
Half an hour later, he and Xia Muyan appeared at the slave market in Meilin Lake City.
Slaves were forbidden by imperial law.
But that's what it blatantly is.
The main source of slaves was prisoners of war.
Humanity and humanity and wars.
War between humans and non-humans.
If the prisoner of the other party is caught, if it is not redeemed, there are generally only two ways to dispose of it.
One is to kill.
One is to sell.
Occasionally, someone will be generous and unconditionally released.
A large part of the slaves in Lake Merrill Lynch are from Black Rock.
On the Black Rock Star, there are the Galactic Empire army, various pirates, rebel strongholds, and various other forces.
The result of the conflict was the production of a large number of captives, which greatly enriched the slave market.
There are also those who are not captive, but who have been plundered directly.
Slaves are very cheap, basically around 180,000.
The most expensive is less than half a million. Among them, male sturdy slaves are the most expensive.
Don't think that female ** subordinates are very valuable. How could a truly beautiful woman appear in a slave market?
"I want this."
"I want this."
"I want this."
Xia Muyan casually purchased more than three hundred slaves.
They are the cheapest and most pitiful ones. More than 300 with a total price of close to 10 million.
After she bought the slaves, she developed certificates for them and restored them to their status as free men.
"Miss, it's useless for you to do this." Jiang Yue said sullenly, "They will be caught again when they turn their heads, and then they will appear in the slave market again. ”
"That'...... Aren't you the sect master of the Immortal Spirit Sect? Protect them! Xia Muyan said with a reluctant smile.
"It's fine." Jiang Yue pondered for a moment and agreed.
The Immortal Spirit Sect just needs people.
These slaves just met the requirements of the Immortal Forest Sect.
In order to prevent them from escaping, their star souls were all shattered, and they just started cultivating Dou Qi from scratch.
Jiang Yue immediately contacted Zhu Yuan and asked him to arrange these slaves.
"Zhu Yuan? Lord Fatty? He's also from your Immortal Spirit Sect? Xia Muyan asked curiously.
"yes!" Jiang Yue said casually, "What's wrong?" ”
"You Immortal Spirit Sect really want anyone!"
"Then why don't you join in and improve your appearance?"
"Good! I'm going to be a Dharma protector! ”
"Hmm......"
Jiang Yue couldn't laugh or cry.
Xia Muyan's mood was actually very bad.
She's just forcing a smile. Who is not sad when a loved one dies?
Her appearance is strong. However, her heart is equally soft. She also needs to be comforted and relied on.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yue didn't know how to comfort others. He didn't know how to rely on anyone.
However, since Xia Muyan was willing to join the Immortal Spirit Sect, he would not refuse.
He silently entered Xia Muyan's name.
Her loyalty is actually more than 190, almost close to two hundred.
"This big brother, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand the goods! Is 350,000 Eagle Coins expensive? ”
"Let me tell you, someone once told me that this little girl is absolutely a baby! Without 10 million Eagle Coins, it will never be sold! I'm getting a big price cut right now! ”
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly, attracting Xia Muyan's attention.
But it's a strange little slave girl who is auctioning off over there.
