For Shao Xuan's request, the slave owner who led the team did not immediately agree, but carefully stared at the short, thin, sickly and weak old slave several times, and really didn't notice anything special about this slave. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As the largest slave organization, the slave owners in the organization have all trained a good pair of eyes, and they can see which slaves can be sold at a high price and which slaves are not useful. Especially with a high position, of course, that eyesight is also more powerful, but, as a team leader, he has sold more slaves than people from a tribe, but he can't see any abnormality in the slave in front of him, there are so many slaves escorted this time, and more than half of them are sturdy slaves who are suitable for coolies, why did this Yanjiao man choose an old slave who is not special?

"Acquaintance?" asked the leading slave owner.

"An old acquaintance. Shao Xuan did not deny it.

The slave owner who led the team looked at Shao Xuan suspiciously, and then at the slave, there were indeed many cases where people bought people they knew, but this always felt something wrong with the Yanjiao people. Even if they really know each other, this "old acquaintance" is definitely not a friendly relationship. Enemy?

After thinking about it, I couldn't figure out the strangeness of this, but the leader of the team still agreed, they were professional slave traders among the slave owners, and the first task was to buy and sell slaves, since someone wanted to buy slaves, he would sell them, but the price was higher.

Mu Felling came over and bargained with the other party, he had been to Chaoqiu City many times, and he also knew the situation of the slave trade, and what kind of slave was worth and how much, he knew very well.

In the end, Shao Xuan bought the slave with a water moon stone that was not too bright.

The deal was settled, and the slave owner who led the team removed a gold object the size of a palm-sized beast's tooth from his neck.

This thing is called 觿 (xi), and it is a tool used to untie knots.

When there was no gold lock, the knot was a simple, convenient and low-cost lock, even if the wooden lock stone lock appeared, the knot was still the mainstream. Sometimes, for the safety of property, a complex knot will be tied when tying the knot. Some knots can create the effect of nine consecutive rings, if you don't use tools, it will take at least half a day to untie them, but if you use this tool, maybe two breaths can be untied.

If the knot is the earliest lock, then the knot is the earliest key.

Former slave owners would carry their slaves with them, and at the same time, tell others: We are slaves!

Sometimes a person will wear several kinds of koji at the same time, just like the slave owners in front of these slave escorts wear the koji, some are short and thick, some are slender, some are straight, some are more curved, some are simple, some are more complex, and there are even many hollow patterns.

Shao Xuan still knows a lot about knots, so he can see at a glance that there are nearly a hundred kinds of knots on the ropes that bind these slaves in front of him, and more than half of them Shao Xuan has never seen them. Although some knots seem simple, Shao Xuan knows that that kind of knots are not easy to untie.

Amazing indeed.

Different shapes of knots are used to untie different types of knots. If you wear it too much, it will naturally give people the impression that "I have a lot of slaves, so I have a lot of knots, and I need more knots".

Slaves are also a kind of wealth, and this behavior of slave owners is also a manifestation of showing off wealth.

With the emergence of new ideas of the craftsmen and the genius craftsmen with outstanding skills, some more complex and sturdy locks have also emerged, but they are difficult to make, high in cost and very expensive. The aristocrats who were able to use gold locks realized the benefits of these new locks, and gradually reduced the frequency of use of knots. In addition to the nature of use, more gorgeous gold locks can also decorate the façade, showing the nobility of the status of aristocratic slave owners, and are very popular with nobles.

With the replacement of strong locks, there is no longer a need to tie dead knots in daily life, so the use of the rope is gradually reduced, but the knot has not disappeared. Today, the heritage continues, but the function is constantly diluted and developed in the direction of accessories.

The aristocracy has continued their habit of pretending to be forced - wearing the hijel to show their noble slave owner status, since the jam is no longer used to untie the rope, it does not need to be more durable, beautiful gems and other made of the jirn is a good ornament, more forced. Some female slave owners also used it to fix their hair as a hair ornament. The production of the sage is also more oriented towards the ornate appearance than the functional utility.

Therefore, in many slave owners, there is still a tradition of wearing the jajel, but the person who wears the jjel may not really use it to untie the rope.

But among the slave owners, there was a special group.

The people of the "Qi" organization have always had a soft spot for the knots, and the knots they wear are still used to untie the knots, and when escorting slaves, they still use knots, and the ropes are also specially treated with relatively strong ropes.

Of course, if you use a hard weapon to cut, you can naturally cut it, but who will risk offending the "畀" to rob the slaves of the "畀"?

Most of the slaves who tried their best to break the rope and escape were still found by the "Tsuki" people by various means and punished in a more cruel way, and some of them were sold as food to cannibalistic tribes after draining their labor.

Slaves who fell into the hands of the Emperor rarely escaped unharmed.

The slave owner who led the team untied a knot connected to the slave team with a scimitar-like sword, and led the untied rope over and handed it to Shao Xuan, while the other end of the rope tied the old slave.

"The slave is yours. ”

The other slave owners who escorted the slaves were full of joy when they saw that the deal had been reached, and they felt that this deal was a good deal, they made a lot of money, there are few things like water moon stones here, and they can also illuminate, which are worth more than ordinary gems, and an old slave who does not have much labor force is not bad for such a gem.

But the slave owner of the leader did not have much joy on his face, but became more and more puzzled in his heart, he did not regret making this transaction, whether it was a loss or a gain, he admitted what he did, but he still had a strange feeling in his heart, and when he left, he looked back at the old slave who was lying on his back several times, but unfortunately he still couldn't see anything.

When the slave team left, walked away, and couldn't be seen, Shao Xuan looked at the old slave who was standing there with his head down.

"Pretend, when I don't know who you are?"

The others were even more curious by Shao Xuan's words, and looked left and right, they really hadn't seen this person.

"I ...... I do not know...... What are you talking about. The old slave's hoarse voice trembled and spoke in an authentic local dialect, even the Changzhou tribe who came here had already learned the words here, and they didn't speak to his standards.

The people were even more puzzled, who is this? Could it be that Shao Xuan knew him when he came here? Those of them who have been staying on the other side definitely don't know this person.

Just thinking about it, Gui Yan listened to Shao Xuan: "Don't pretend, steal seven." ”

Thief of the Seven?!!

Thousands of pairs of knife-like glances swept over.

If you want to talk about Yanjiao's opinion on "thieves", it's like seeing disgusting, since the people who knew that "thieves" came here, Yanjiao was also excited, gloating. Now, they have seen the "thief" again! What an old acquaintance!

When he was caught stealing cabbage from the farmland in Yanjiao, Shao Xuan beat him down with a beat, and later this person had a gang with other thieves who wanted to steal the green fangs, and was chased and beaten by Shao Xuan, and finally could only whistle for help with the result of demotion. Now, it's happening again.

Knowing that he couldn't dodge, the thief's seven faces were so entangled that they were all distorted.

Mixed in this team of escorting slaves before, he was still thinking in his heart that he was really a genius, and when he mixed into Chaoqiu City, he would be able to find a chance to slip away, and he was angry and angry~

The victory song of the "thief" organization was constantly circulating in his heart, and the thief seven was very proud, but as a result, before he arrived in Chaoqiu City, he met Shao Xuan, the nemesis. He pretended to be like this, Shao Xuan could still recognize it!

Every time you run into a person from the Horn of Fire, it's not a good thing!

Thief Qi felt that he was so unlucky, it must be that he had not worshiped the ancestors before this operation.

In front of everyone's eyes, the old slave's original weather, languid, and weak appearance gradually began to change, no longer rickety, his back was erect, his shriveled body bulged as if inflated, and there was a gurgling sound of bones being misaligned.

The eyes of the few people who returned to the valley looked at the slave, from the initial surprise, to doubt, to anger, and a sentence came out of their hearts at the same time:, it's really this thing!

"Thief Seven!"

The Yanjiao man moved his shoulders vigorously, surrounded the thief Qi in the middle, and sneered, his eyes seemed to say: "See if Lao Tzu doesn't beat you to death!"

As if he was frightened, Thief Qi stood there stunned, his eyes glazed, but Shao Xuan knew that this guy must have been thinking about a way to escape in his heart.

Looking at the surrounding terrain and environment, it was determined that it was very difficult for Thief Qi to escape, Shao Xuan asked again, "Say, what did you steal this time?"

"Thieves" will not hide after stealing, others steal things for fear of being known, and they are afraid that others will not know, and even show off, the more precious things, the more crazy they are to show off, and they want everyone to know.

However, in order to protect his achievements, Thief Seven may not tell the truth.

Sure enough, for Shao Xuan's questioning, the thief didn't squeak.

Shao Xuan didn't urge, but said, "We will go to the royal city this time, and at the same time, we will also bring a message." ”

Thief Qi still hung his head and didn't move, but Shao Xuan knew that he was listening, and continued: "We will tell the people of Wangcheng that the dignified thief Xingqi took great pains to steal the pants of Chaoqiu City Lord Chao Wei. ”

Thief Qi looked up at Shao Xuan suddenly, "This is simply insulting my stealing skills!" Not to mention Chao Wei's pants, he can easily steal the pants of those people in the palace of the royal city! This kind of low-level technique is something that some newcomers do, how can he do it?!

Wangcheng is full of large caravans and traveling teams, such an entertainment news, will probably be widely spread, perhaps, there are some people who have been robbed by the thief, will be more enthusiastic to publicize the "results" of the thief, and add some materials to make the news more interesting.

Obviously, Thief Seven has thought of a lot.

"Heh, do you think others will believe it?" Thief Qi looked unconcerned.

"You can try. Shao Xuan's tone was calm and authentic.

Thief Seven was silent. If the people of Yanjiao threatened with force, he would make up all kinds of lies to deceive the people of Yanjiao, but the one mentioned by Shao Xuan was a matter of reputation. This is simply sewage forcibly poured on his reputation!

Moreover, others say that the lethality is not great, but this is what the Yanjiao people said, and the thief Qi should pay more attention, he is afraid that the Yanjiao people will deduct more basins for him. He's getting ready to climb the rankings now, but he doesn't want to be affected by this.

After thinking about it, Thief Qi spoke up and said, "Jin." It was a handful of hiatus, and people called him 'the leader of the bones'. ”

After saying that, Thief Seven couldn't help but be proud, this was what he stole from the leader of the organization, and he also planned to use this to rush into the ranking of "thieves". (To be continued.) )
