Chapter 5: Mystery: The Skull and Bones Society
Chapter 5 Mystery: The Skull and Bones Society
"Bold. Ignorant children dare to speak wildly in front of the city lord. ”
The sky Wuji stopped the slaughter, but it was the head of the guard who spoke in the sky. In fact, Changkong Wuji failed to recruit Ye Feng many times, and he had long been jealous of these guards, at this time, a great opportunity was ahead, and the head of the guard would naturally not give up the opportunity to attack Ye Feng.
Ye Feng became angry when he heard this, his right hand clenched the long sword, and he was about to open his mouth to refute, but he was pulled by Li Yuxuan, and in the middle of the pull, he heard Changkong Wuji ask when he heard the words.
"Ye Feng, what do you think of the current situation?" Changkong Wuji then sighed: "You have known me for so many years, do you think I like blood?"
Ye Feng heard the sigh of Changkong Wuji, and his anger disappeared without a trace, replaced by an embarrassing silence.
"They won't trust us, they won't want to stay, and if they let them go, it will cause great trouble for the kingdom. Changkong Wuji said lightly: "There are people in the dark who are pushing for this riot, I have no other choice, the current situation is not what I think." ”
How to quell this slave rebellion? Both sides stood firmly, and there seemed to be no room for reversal, and only bloody suppression could be exchanged for the lowest losses. Ye Feng's ideal is to let these slaves leave, but is the Colosseum and Sky Wuji willing? Even if these slaves leave the Colosseum, how many ways can they live, once they are branded as slaves, they will not be able to wash them off for a lifetime. I'm afraid that if they leave, they will either be caught back after separation, or they will not be separated, and only by being robbers and bandits can they live, this is what Ye Feng wants?
"Ye Feng, you have this heart, and it is not in vain that I have paid attention to you for so many years. It's just that when will you be able to abandon your illusions and abandon that bit of woman's kindness?"
Ye Feng's face was flushed, and he whispered, "But I just can't accept such a massacre." ”
Li Yuxuan didn't look able to bear Ye Feng's embarrassment, stepped forward, stared at Changkong Wuji with burning eyes, and said, "Things are not to the point where they have to be slaughtered, I can let the slaughter stop, and it won't cause you trouble." ”
Changkong Wuji stopped the chief guard next to him who was about to have a seizure, looked at Li Yuxuan curiously, and said, "Oh, if there is any way for the young man, you might as well say it and listen to it." ”
"I am a merchant and know the value of these slaves. Li Yuxuan talked eloquently, without saving face for Changkong Wuji: "This is also the real reason why you hesitate, city lord." If I pay to buy them, can I call the shots?"
"Huh?" Changkong Wuji didn't get angry because of Li Yuxuan's outspokenness, but looked at Li Yuxuan's slightly childish and confident face with a little appreciation, and said, "The value of these slaves is not low, young man, can you afford it?"
"Hehe, at this time, the value of these slaves should be very low. Li Yuxuan's eyes looked through the crowd, and he shot directly at the slave who was still standing straight at the front, and said with a smile: "Five gold coins." ”
Changkong Wuji was flustered, this price was a bit excessive, obviously it was a robbery while the fire was burning, and the fat man, the nominal owner of the Colosseum next to him, had already jumped up and said loudly: "The cheapest of these slaves is more than a hundred gold coins, and you actually want to buy it for five gold coins, it's just wishful thinking." ”
Li Yuxuan stood quietly in place, with a smile on his face, just looking at the sky and completely ignoring the clamor of the fat man.
Changkong Wuji pondered for a moment, and finally sighed, stared at Li Yuxuan tightly and said, "This is a premeditated riot, the Skeleton Society is too arrogant and insidious. ”
It's a pity that to Changkong Wuji's disappointment, Li Yuxuan's face showed a slightly puzzled expression, as if he didn't understand what Changkong Wuji was saying at all, but the nobles behind him were completely quiet, and even the fat man put away his arrogance.
"What will a skeleton be?" asked Li Yuxuan.
It's a pity that no one answered him, it seems that the three words of the skeleton will empty the air around them, making it difficult to breathe and making time freeze.
Where there is light, there is darkness, both ancient and modern. The Skull and Bones Society represents the evil dark forces of the psychedelic continent, secretly controlling most of the slave trade in the continent, and the Colosseum is the property of the fat man on the surface, but it is actually controlled by the Sky Wuji. Sky Mowgli has always prevented skeletons from entering the Shang Capital, but there has been no feasible and effective method, and the darkness always avoids the light.
Therefore, it is logical to say that this slave rebellion will be planned by the Skull Society. The skeletons will be hidden very deeply, unfathomable, and no one knows where they are, but to everyone's surprise, the skeletons will have the most powerful killer organization on the mainland. I didn't want to be targeted by the killer, so the atmosphere froze there.
Li Yuxuan appeared at the right time and took advantage of the fire to rob, no wonder Changkong Wuji suspected that he was a member of the Skull and Bones Society. Changkong Wuji stared at Li Yuxuan, and the silence around him seemed to have stopped time, making the nobles feel furious.
Changkong Wuji suddenly smiled and said: "Even if you, little brother, can buy them all, is there any way to solve the remaining problems?"
Li Yuxuan felt the strangeness of the atmosphere, and like the nobles, his heart was furious, and when he heard this, he knew that the suspicion of Changkong Wuji had passed, and said with a smile: "This is my question, is the city lord selling it or not?"
Changkong Wuji frowned slightly, no longer looked at Li Yuxuan, looked back at the Colosseum, and said: "Do you think that the sale of these slaves to you is your business?
"Give me three days, and I will do my best to get them out of Marseille and out of the Frankish kingdom, and promise not to cause you the slightest trouble. Okay?" asked Li Yuxuan, with a wave on his face.
"What you say sounds too fake, and there is no practical way to do it. I can't believe the promises of a small child. Changkong Wuji shook his head, looked at Li Yuxuan and said sincerely: "Tell me your method, if I think it is feasible, I can consider selling them to you at a low price." ”
Li Yuxuan laughed, there are too many traps in Changkong Wuji's words, if he truthfully says an effective method, is Changkong Wuji still willing to sell slaves to himself at a low price? It's just that these nobles who are still in the eyes of money can't get out of their fixed thinking, but they are not afraid that they will lose their trust.
"Sue you, please bring the contracts of these slaves first. Li Yuxuan looked at the puzzled nobles, pointed to the ranks of slaves and said with a smile: "Why did the slaves riot? If I give them their freedom, do you think this riot will be quelled?"
"You idiot, that's tens of thousands of gold coins!" the fat man immediately jumped up, full of the true colors of a profiteer.
Changkong Wuji's face changed slightly, what is the concept of tens of thousands of gold coins, which is enough to buy a small territory in the kingdom and live a comfortable life as a nobleman, Li Yuxuan is actually willing to disperse for the sake of lowly slaves? Changkong Wuji, as the master of the merchant capital, is more businessman than a businessman, and Li Yuxuan said that he is a businessman, how can he do a loss-making business.
Changkong Wuji raised his hand, let the fat man calm down, and looked at Li Yuxuan quietly again, a cold glint flashed in his eyes from time to time, and asked: "You said you are a businessman, why don't you look like a businessman?" The guards next to him are ready to take people, as long as Li Yuxuan can't answer, I'm afraid he will enter Changkong Wuji's private cell, and the members of the Skull and Bones Club are not so easy to see.
Li Yuxuan was not in a hurry, and said with a light smile: "In front of Brother Ye Feng, tens of thousands of gold coins are like dung. ”
