Chapter 376: Bargaining
?? Although Xiao Feng made a lot of concessions to him later, the knot in his heart had already formed, and Luo Chen could no longer fully trust Bai Guangmen.
The faces of the people in Baiguangmen changed very quickly that day, and Luo Chen now completely believed that they really wanted to cooperate now, but with Luo Chen's mind, he naturally understood that Baiguangmen must have a plan. The so-called cooperation is only for the sake of profit.
Zhuang Yuqian became the elder of Qixia Sect, but the debts that should be collected were naturally to be collected, Luo Chen was wary of Baiguangmen, how could he stop her?
As for Bai Guangmen's reaction, he didn't care anymore. As long as he has the right words, he can have a clear conscience.
Zhuang Yuqian is not an unreasonable person, and there must be a reason for revenge. If the Baiguangmen side gives up the alliance, it will be a big deal.
Seeing that Zhuang Yuqian had already left, Luo Chen no longer hesitated, and his figure swept towards the direction of the ancient passage.
......
Luo Chen returned to Golden Scale City, and after waiting for three days, Zhuang Yuqian returned.
Although she didn't say anything, looking at her expression, it was clear that the revenge operation was going very well.
The revenge of a fifth-level martial artist, although the White Light Gate has tens of thousands of iron horses, how can it resist?
Zhuang Yuqian's mood was obviously very good, and the rich evil aura between her eyebrows dissipated, looking even more beautiful.
The existence of her and Xiao Yuanyuan, Liu Yuxi has already informed the elders of Qixia Sect, and the mother and daughter have become the elders of Qixia Sect, so they cleaned up the courtyard where the blue water and cold pool are located and lived here.
Of course, at this time, the clear water and cold pool can no longer be called a cold pool, just a calm small lake.
Within a few days, Xiao Yuanyuan, Liu Yuxi, and Xue Nu had become excellent friends, and the three of them often stayed together, as if they were sisters, and even Luo Chen seemed to be an outsider.
Zhuang Yuqian was very satisfied with this situation, while Luo Chen could only smile bitterly.
Fortunately, Zhuang Yuqian didn't mention anything at this time that made him marry Xiao Yuanyuan immediately, and Luo Chen also felt a lot more relaxed. As for Zhuang Yuqian's true thoughts at this time, he didn't know it, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it.
Because there's a lot more to do because he needs to do. Some things that originally belonged to Liu Yuxi were also undertaken by him.
Now that the city has settled down and the gates are no longer closed, residents living on the outskirts of the city have begun to walk around the market, and the market has gradually regained its vitality.
And the center of Golden Scale City, where the people of the Chu family originally lived, was still in ruins. Dozens of huge manors stand in ruins, and they are also extremely conspicuous.
Among the dozens of manors that were specially preserved, the women of the Chu family who were about to be sold into slavery were imprisoned. The women of the Chu family are famous for their beauty, and most of the women here have some looks, but this cannot change their fate. They are no longer the high-ranking ladies of the Chu family, but are about to become lowly slave girls.
These women knew their fate, and they cried day and night in the mansion, and their voices were so miserable that even the Qixia Tiewei who was guarding them felt a little sad.
Most of the more than two million men of the Chu family died at the hands of Baiguangmen, and a small number died at the hands of Qixiazong, and these female slaves who were about to be sold also had the same number.
This was a great trouble for both Qi Xia Sect and Luo Chen. Of course, it is also a great asset.
After capturing the Golden Scale City, there are still many things left to do, and the territory of the Heavenly Sword Gate still needs to be received little by little, and this huge number of female slaves is the first problem that Luo Chen needs to deal with.
These female slaves are undoubtedly to be sold, but after all, this is the woman of the Chu family, the Chu family has ruled this land for thousands of years, where do the local slave traders dare to buy the women of the Chu family as slaves. What's more, such a number is no better than any city occupied by the enemy, and the local slave traders do not have this strength at all.
However, in the area outside the Heavenly Sword Gate, Luo Chen didn't know anything about it, and he didn't know who to sell such a number of female slaves to. Others are not so clear either.
After all, this cultivation realm is really too big, and even the area where the Heavenly Sword Gate and the White Light Gate are located is also a barbaric area in the eyes of others. They are all savage people, how can they know too much?
......
Outside the north gate of Golden Scale City, a black line suddenly appeared in the field in the distance. The ground in the field also shook violently.
The black line is getting closer and closer, and you can clearly see that it is a group of iron horses, rapidly approaching in the direction of Golden Scale City.
The Qixia Iron Guard at the head of the city saw the smoke and dust rising in the distance, and hurriedly closed the city gate, and then sounded the alarm.
After Luo Chen received the alarm, he immediately took Zhuang Yuqian and others to the city.
The army stopped outside the Golden Scale City, and Luo Chen looked at the army under the city, and his face became a little ugly.
There are not many people coming, extremely elite, and the Dao pattern suit on the body of thousands of iron guards exudes extremely powerful spiritual power fluctuations, which is obviously not a second-layer Dao pattern suit. And the aura emanating from the iron guards is also extremely powerful.
Under the seat of the Iron Guard, there is a huge war elephant, such a behemoth wearing heavy armor, the speed of the charge can be as fast as the ironback horse!
In front of the guard, there was a carriage, which was very large and looked extremely luxurious, pulled by four pure white horses. The carriage was surrounded by four iron guards, and the aura on the iron guards was actually a fifth-level martial artist!
Not counting those powerful Dao Pattern Heavy Riders, these four fifth-level martial artists would not be able to deal with it. And in the carriage they guarded, Luo Chen couldn't feel any breath.
However, his eyes were already open, and through the tiny gap in the carriage, he could already see the appearance of the people in the carriage.
It was an extremely obese middle-aged man, white and tender, looking like a mountain of meat. It was such a carriage that could accommodate his huge body.
The clothes worn by the fat man looked extremely expensive, but they were tacky, like an ordinary rich merchant in the city. However, such a person made Luo Chen feel extremely dangerous.
After the Heavenly Eye was opened, the power of his bloodline awakened faster, and he could also feel the breath of a fifth-level martial artist, but now this fat man, who looked harmless to humans and animals, couldn't sense any breath, what did that mean?
This is most likely a sixth-level martial artist!
A fifth-level martial artist is no longer able to compete, let alone a sixth-level martial artist!
The carriage stopped directly under the city, and the four iron guards stood there expressionlessly, and the fat man in the carriage sat in the carriage and did not get down for a long time.
Luo Chen stood on the city, silent. The other party did not speak, and he did not speak.
After a quarter of an hour, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the fat man's body flashed and fell to the ground.
"Who of you here?" the fat man seemed to be a little unable to stand the strong sunlight, raised his hand to his forehead, and squinted at the castle road.
Luo Chen said in a deep voice: "I can call the shots here, do you have anything to do here?"
"I heard that you are going to sell a batch of female slaves here, but is this the case?" said the fat man casually.
"It is true. Luo Chen nodded.
"Then open the city gates, this group of slave girls, we want it!" the fat man waved his hand.
Luo Chen frowned, and waved his big hand lightly.
Although the source of these people is unknown, if the other party wants to break into the city, he can't stop it at all. Such a force, he simply can't fight. In this case, simply let the other party enter the city generously.
The gates of Golden Scale City slowly opened, and the fat man returned to the carriage, which slowly started under the escort of the four iron guards and drove into the city.
The rest of the guards remained outside the city.
Seeing this scene, Luo Chen was also relieved in his heart. Looking at this way, the other party really looks like they are here to talk about business.
Luo Chen also got off the city and walked towards the manor in the center of the city with the carriage.
"Boy, don't be nervous, we are the number one slave merchant on the mainland, and we have always only talked about business, not fighting. ”
The fat man stretched out a hand, pointed to the dark red lotus emblem on the carriage and said, "Scarlet Lotus Chamber of Commerce, have you heard of it?"
"Nope. Luo Chen told the truth.
"Lonely and unheard. The fat man snorted, "The small business of more than two million female slaves, let me run it personally, boy, your face is really not small!"
"Huh?" Luo Chen was slightly stunned.
"Our Scarlet Lotus is doing big business, this little business, just a steward can come out, and he actually wants me to go out in person. You wild boy, I really don't know how you can have such a face!How can I not see anything good about you, why would that person take a fancy to you!" The fat man pursed his lips disdainfully.
"Fancy me?"
Luo Chen was surprised in his heart, but his face was extremely calm.
He couldn't understand the fat man's words, but he was sure that the message contained in this sentence was beneficial to him.
And it doesn't matter who gave him face, but at least this fat man is really here to do business. If this fat man is here to attack Qixia Sect, with the strength of his side, he can't stop it at all.
The carriage was extremely fast, and soon crossed the civilian area on the outskirts of the city and came to the original living area of the Chu family.
Beside a manor house within a radius of miles near the street, the carriage stopped.
"Boy, come with me to see the goods. The fat man got out of the carriage and strode into the manor. The four guards dismounted and followed.
Inside the manor, tens of thousands of female slaves are imprisoned, guarded by hundreds of Qixia guards. Such a large manor and the imprisoning of so many people also seemed overcrowded.
The makeshift cells were almost open-air, with a large open space surrounded by a thick wooden fence, sheltered by reed shelters in the corners of the fences, and blue skies above the rest of the place.
The female slaves were inside the fence, and because of the sheer number of them, the range of movement was extremely limited. They had been imprisoned here for more than ten days, and it was the height of summer, and the stench inside the fence was already stinking, and the original gorgeous clothes on their bodies had become extremely dirty.
Seeing someone come in, the slave girls who were close to the fence looked over one by one, and their beautiful faces in the past looked extremely haggard, and there was only blankness and despair in their eyes.
In the war of extermination, the men were killed and the women were enslaved, which was the unwritten rule of the Xiuzhen realm. They have long understood what kind of fate awaits them, and they can't resist that fate.
A mother who has lost her son, a woman who has lost her husband, a young and beautiful girl, a thin little girl......
Countless people leaned on the fence densely, looking indifferently at Luo Chen and the fat man who walked by. Many more slave girls, unable to get a place near the fence, could only stay in the middle of the clearing, enduring the scorching sun.
It was the first time Luo Chen had come here, and there were thousands of female slaves imprisoned in the central manor where he lived, but the treatment was much better than these here. Seeing the miserable scene here, Luo Chen was also slightly moved.
But these female slaves always have to be dealt with. So Luo Chen also tightened his face and walked around the manor with the fat man.
The fat man was obviously accustomed to such a situation, and there was no mood on his face, and after a round in the manor, without saying anything, he got into the carriage and continued to walk forward.
After walking a short distance, he came to a manor where slave girls were imprisoned, and the fat man got out of the carriage again and walked in.
The same crowding, the same stench, the same blank and desperate gaze of the women. Luo Chen's face was flat, but there were some waves in his heart.
The fat man was very patient, and spent two hours carefully inspecting each of the manors where the female slaves were imprisoned, and then he took the carriage to the manor in the center.
There were also thousands of female slave girls imprisoned here, but they at least had enough room to shelter from the wind and rain, and a better supply of food. Compared to the female slaves who were imprisoned elsewhere, their situation was already much better.
The fat man worked tirelessly, walked through every building in the manor, and finally came to the Hanyan Pavilion with Luo Chen.
Entering the Cold Smoke Pavilion together, there were also the four iron guards he guarded, and on the Qixia Sect, there were also Liu Yuxi and the Great Elder Zhuang Yuqian.
The fat man walked straight to the throne in the depths of the Hanyan Pavilion and sat down, waved his hand and motioned for Luo Chen and the others to sit down as well, and then said: "I have already seen the goods, the woman of the Chu family is really a little beautiful, it should be easy to get rid of it, it seems that I still have a little bit of money this trip." Luo Chen, let's make a price! These female slaves, how many yuan stones are you going to want?"
Luo Chen said in a deep voice: "How many yuan stones are you going to come up with?"
The fat man smiled: "You are the owner of the goods, and the price should be yours." Asking for prices all over the world, paying back everywhere, don't you understand this truth?"
Luo Chen's eyes flashed and said, "It's better for you to set a price, let's see if it's suitable!"
"Hehe!" the fat man laughed, "Well, for the sake of that person's face, I won't be verbose, and I'll give you a happy price." All female slaves, regardless of age, are priced at a hundred yuan stone, how about such a price, which is definitely fair enough!"
"A hundred yuan stone?" Luo Chen frowned, "Is the price a little lower?"
The fat man laughed and said, "Is it low? Hehe, if it weren't for the woman of the Chu family of the Heavenly Sword Gate, I wouldn't ask for fifty yuan stones." The women of the Chu family are famous for their appearance, and I have directly doubled the normal price. One hundred yuan stone, that's 10,000 gold ingots, such a price is definitely high!"
