"Damn, the wine is finished again, remember to buy wine again when you get to the next one" Lu Mo shook the wine jug that couldn't drip wine unwillingly, and muttered on his lips.

Although it is located in the southeast of the Tambro continent, the winter feeling will come later, but the weather can already feel noticeably cool at night, so drink quickly with it.

The five large wine barrels on the pannier have long been drunk, and the wine jug on his body belongs to his own private collection.

Lu Mo helped the beautiful fur hat on his head, and habitually glanced at the convoy behind him.

"Well, who, Berdoca, how did the cover of the third car be lifted, cover it quickly. Lu Mo shouted.

He was the head of the guard of the trench convoy, and with about twenty men, he was responsible for escorting a total of four trench wagons.

His fleet is not a transportation business, but a merchant who sells while walking, and the selling price of this batch of goods is not bad, but it took more than a month to sell half of the goods, and the results are not very satisfactory. Judging from the current market, this batch of goods must be sold at least seven or eighty percent to be considered profitable, which means that he has to continue to drift like this for another month, counting the return trip, just in time to go home for the New Year.

Whoever is in this situation will not be in a good mood, let alone running out of wine.

It was at this time that Lu Mo saw the arrogance.

As soon as he turned around, he saw the mage under the big tree in front of him, it must be a mage, or from the legal management department, and he sat down on the strange-looking beast, it should be called Xuan.

Of course he didn't recognize him, but on the edge of the empire, it was rare to be able to run into a mage from the Ministry of Legal Management, so he looked at it twice more - the mages of the Ministry of Legal Management were naturally powerful, and they were even more powerful in being able to ride a horse, but they were generally not fierce or domineering, so the civilians were more than respectful of the mages of the Legal Management Department, and they were not too afraid.

But to Lu Mo's surprise, this mage actually looked at him with a smiling expression.

Lu Mo was sure that he was not mistaken, more than twenty years of experience in traveling from south to north had made him confident enough in his eyesight, although he couldn't understand why this high-ranking mage was looking at him.

"Are you the head of this convoy, are you a merchant?" Lu Mo also looked at himself and asked arrogantly.

Afraid that there was trouble, Lu Mo secretly screamed bitterly in his heart, he gestured to the subordinates next to him with his back hand, and he drove the trench to meet the arrogant man, and replied with a smile: "Good day, Master Master, the car is mainly food brews, and worthless things like white pipes." I really didn't expect the conference to meet the lord of the legal management department in such a backward and small place, and the lord is here to do business?"

Lu Mo changed the topic while buying time for the carriage to pass, he didn't believe that the mage of the Legal Management Department would have such a good leisure to take care of the worldly, probably on a whim to ask.

It's a pity he guessed wrong.

"Even women have become food these days?Can you still make sake?Which Sakai recipe is this?" Ao Zongheng didn't have time to go around in circles with him and directly expose his lies.

Lu Mo swore that he had never encountered such an embarrassing moment in his life, and with his habit, whoever made him feel embarrassed or uneasy, he would let whoever lay in bed for at least half a month, but to the words of the previous Master of the Legal Management Department......

"Master Mage has a good eye, this is indeed a slave car, this Sakai is not very peaceful, so we are more cautious, and I ask Master Master for forgiveness. ”

By this time, the convoy had already walked in front of them. The shortest of his subordinates has been with him for three years, so he naturally knows when to be fast and when to be slow.

This mage has a great eyesight, but how boring a great mage can be, turning around and chasing a few carts of slaves?

In most parts of the Tambro Continent, the slave trade was legal, and those who could not repay their debts, or could not afford to pay the full amount of taxes, could choose to become slaves to pay off their debts, and the creditors had the right to own and dispose of the slaves, except that they could not kill or mutilate the slaves at will, and of course they could choose to sell the slaves for cash or transfer them to others.

The slave trade is definitely a big business, and the slave trader is a big player in the slave trade, and what he does is the business that balances the supply and demand of slaves in different regions.

In a place like Shan Zanman Sakai where there are few people and a lot of land, the biggest difficulty for rich families who want to have more land is not that there is not enough land or money, but that there are not enough people to work, and buying slaves from populous areas is undoubtedly a quick solution. And in some areas with large populations and slaves, the master does not need so many slaves and wants to transfer. When the local supply is abundant, it is difficult to sell at a good price, so you can entrust a merchant to sell for more money in a place where there is a shortage of labor.

This is a legal business, protected by the imperial criminal law, the Lu Mo did not directly say, it is out of the prudence of traveling south and north, this explanation is reasonable.

Ao Zongheng really didn't turn around and chase after him.

But he still had something to say, "Oh, when will the slaves be transported, and the hands and feet will be tied, and the necks will be tied, and the mouths will be gagged?

He was only halfway through his words, and Lu Mo's face changed.

"Do it!" he shouted, his right hand reaching for the knife at his waist.

I said that I only touched the knife with my hands, and I didn't look like a veteran at all, but this was an old driver.

Except for the fool, the two people facing each other must have paid attention to each other's weapons and hands, touching the knife too early, it seems that the knife is drawn quickly, but the other party is already alert, and it may be more difficult to get hands.

Of course, who the opponent is is also crucial.

Of course, Lu Mo could see the green-collar badge on his chest, and with these mortals, the best way to deal with the Lord's Mage was to strike preemptively and attack intensively.

The mage has a mana barrier, and if he is a leading mage with rich combat experience, even a close-range sneak attack may not be faster than the mana barrier, so he needs to attack intensively and use the consumption method to explode the mana barrier.

Of course, a mere knife is not a dense attack, and Lu Mo's "hands" is not for himself.

At least twenty crossbow arrows, at four angles, were fired at the same time.

Ten big men, ten short crossbows, between three or five breaths, can set up fifty crossbow arrows - this is the back hand that Lu Mo used to break the mana barrier.

From his orders behind his back, to blocking the opponent's view at close range, pulling and distracting from each other, to drawing his sword suddenly, everything was to create a chance for these ten crossbowmen to break with one blow.

Decisive, fast, precise, and tacit, this chain of killing machines is already a lore, and there is probably no green-collar mage in this world who can escape under the siege of these eleven mortals.

It's a pity that this green-collar mage is called arrogant.

Therefore, sharp knives, crossbow arrows, and short crossbows all fell to the ground at this moment. In addition to Cai Lu Mo, who was sitting on the ground, the trenches and people at the scene had also fallen to the ground.

Of course, the arrogance was still on the stalk, looking down at Lu Mo with a smile.

Naturally, Lu Mo also looked at the arrogant and horrified.

This man is definitely not a mage, I'm afraid that even the robe mage doesn't have his terrifying ability, something suddenly flashed in Lu Mo's mind, and he felt that the man in front of him seemed to have seen it somewhere.

Of course, they had seen that in the small tavern on the border between Sakai and Sakai of Tama Manfu, Lu Mo wore his favorite fur hat and took two of his men to buy wine in the bun and meet Aozong. It's just that few people have such an unforgettable memory as arrogant.

If he just recognized Lu Mo, Ao Zongheng would not be interested in greeting him at all, let alone attack him. What really caught his attention was that among the goods in Calumo, there was a person who had also met him. It was precisely because of this person that he could determine that these carts of slaves were not ordinary slaves who could be legally bought and sold, but black slaves who came from improper sources.

Most of the so-called black slaves were captured, of course, not by forcibly arresting innocent inhabitants of the empire, but by plundering from the surrounding areas of the empire. Because there is no identity of the inhabitants of the empire, it is naturally not protected by the criminal laws of the empire, but not being protected does not mean that it can be used at will, the empire's consistent policy on black slaves is confiscation, so the use of black slaves itself has a certain risk, and the price of black slaves is naturally not as good as that of clean slaves.

There are women and there are men.

Among the four trench cars, a total of twenty-one slaves were locked up with their hands and feet tied, their necks were looped, and their mouths were plugged, and the one who had been beaten by Ao Zongheng was a girl in the third beautiful trench cart.

Ao Zongheng didn't know his name, he only remembered her appearance, although it seemed that she had suffered for a long time, but it was not too far from her original appearance, so with a casual glance, Ao Zongheng recognized that this girl who was desperately looking out of the covered cloth that was lifted, looking for a chance to escape, was the one who claimed to be the daughter of the foreign minister of the kingdom of Loren Magaga.

On that day, Ao Zongheng entered the royal capital of Loren Magaga from the Fulin Duomen, and was running into the foreign minister's daughter to flee out of the city, at that time, Ao Zongheng wanted to use the small riot she created to cover himself into the city, so he secretly helped her and let her successfully escape from the royal capital. I really didn't expect that almost two and a half months later, I would meet again four thousand miles away.

Of course, Ao Zongheng didn't know that the foreign minister's daughter's name was Tiyan, and he didn't even plan to say hello to her, he made a move, just because he had used someone else that day, and he met again today, so he was in trouble and solved the dilemma.

But he didn't look for anyone, but people came to him.
