Chapter 47: Luoyang

"Three, that's what you're talking about?" Liu Ling stared at a large pot of boiled red crabs and said listlessly.

It was an island in the East China Sea, and there was no one on the island except the two of them.

It's been three days, and the sunrise has been watching; I watched the sunset too. All day long, I either eat fish, shrimp, and crab. The air smells fishy, and it seems that the body smells fishy too.

"Of course it's interesting, the last time I was here, I went whale hunting. Tomorrow, we're going whale hunting, and it's fun. Liu Chang didn't notice the depressed aunt, and happily recalled the last time in order to vent his depressed mood, under the instigation of the lack of heart, he went to the sea to hunt whales.

"The clothes I brought are all moldy, and there are a few fur coats, all of which have fallen off" Liu Ling didn't listen at all, still taking care of herself, and muttered to herself:

"I take it with me every time I go out, and I haven't been willing to wear it"

"I've been coughing for the past two days, the air is too humid, I must have choked on the water in the air, I'm really useless, why didn't I bring some cough medicine." Ahem, ahem. ”

The aunt who was thinking about it kept talking.

"Or, let's change places," Liu Chang asked tentatively.

"Okay. Okay" Liu Ling came to her senses as soon as she could, she didn't even want the crabs in the basin, she picked up Liu Chang and left.

"Auntie, why don't you dry your fur coat first?"

"No, no, go back and dry again"

"Take some cough medicine first"

"Go back and eat, go back and eat!"

When they sat in the carriage of the post station, swayed around, and entered Luoyang City, it was already the evening of the next day, and when they got off the aircraft, Liu Ling's mood immediately improved, and she didn't cough anymore, even if she sat in the carriage for more than a day, it didn't affect her mood.

No way, although Luoyang is big, parking spaces are hard to find. Unlike Chang'an City, three or four hundred miles around on the forest garden, is a wasteland, no one, here out of the city is a farmer, they finally found a no-man's land two hundred miles away, parked, got off, looked for a car, and then took the car, just this time took nearly two days. Fortunately, Luoyang is a shopping mall, after the opening of the Silk Road, this is the starting point of the Silk Road, out of the Western Regions, all kinds of merchants from the Western Regions are endless, do not close the city gate, otherwise, they are afraid that they will squat in the city gate.

After entering the city, first find one of the best foreign-related hotels, Barbarian Mansion, and take a look at this name, typical discrimination and insult to foreigners. But those foreigners didn't care, the barbarians were barbarians, as long as they had money to make, they all went in and out happily under the signboards of the glittering barbarians. There is a taste of "I am a barbarian, I am proud".

Liu Chang and his aunt also walked into the Barbarian Mansion from under the "Barbarian Mansion" signboard with a flat expression, and they did not show their consciousness and pride as a Han person at all, just like a typical Han scum.

In the case of "two upper rooms", Liu Ling came forward to negotiate, there was no way, Liu Chang was not as high as the counter.

The shopkeeper glanced at Liu Ling under the big-brimmed hat, obviously shocked. If there is a Japanese imperial army, he will definitely smile and say, "Yo Xi, flower girl", foreigners in strange costumes, the shopkeeper has seen a lot, but I have never seen such a beautiful "flower girl" in strange costumes. Dressed as a Han person, but wearing a hat as big as a hat, hehehe, strange.

"Madam, one room is nine hundred dollars a day, and two rooms are one thousand eight hundred dollars." A look of flattery.

"Pay five days first" Liu Ling took out a horseshoe gold, in the Han Dynasty, one gold was worth 10,000 dollars. "Please follow me, there are two rooms in Tianzi A room" walked out of the counter, and the shopkeeper found that there was a villain under the counter, and this villain was dragging a large box. It's surprising for a woman to run all over the world, it's even more surprising for a beautiful woman to run all over the sky, and it's even more surprising for a beautiful woman to run all over the sky with a child.

"Excuse me, ma'am, this is... The shopkeeper hesitated and asked. If this noble lady said no, he made up his mind and immediately inserted it, where did the fart dare to sneak into the high-end hotel, and at first glance he looked like a mud leg, covered in linen and coarse clothes.

"She is my mother" Liu Chang hurriedly declared, his aunt was covered in shining brands when she went out, and he didn't change his clothes. Auntie, auntie, you are really the eldest princess, you are three layers inside and three layers outside, why don't you remind me? Hey, I'll get those two maids back one day. Seeing that the lady did not refute, the shopkeeper acquiesced.

Enter the inner courtyard and walk towards the Tianzi on the second floor. Xiao Budian followed, holding a large box, and climbed to the second floor step by step. The shopkeeper didn't even look at him, just led the way in front, and Liu Chang scolded the shopkeeper eighty-eight times in his heart.

"Wow, what a beautiful woman of the Han Dynasty"

In the middle of the staircase, there were two men from Mary's countrymen, one bearded, the other young and handsome. The crappy Han Dynasty dialect came out of the unkempt black hair, and the speech was slurred, but the meaning was vividly expressed, it was the bearded uncle who was speaking. Look at your virtue, except for your eyes, your face is full of hair, and the monkey stands up straight and looks like a human than you.

The shopkeeper took the lead in getting out of the way, but Liu Ling didn't have this habit. The two people on the opposite side were also very interested, leaning to the side, but their eyes were still blocked in the middle of the road. Liu Ling had long ignored this high-profile phenomenon, stepped on the eyeballs jumping in front of her directly, and walked up. Maybe it hurt to be stepped on, the hairy monster rubbed his eyes with his hands, and threw the eyeballs from behind, and the eyeballs did not climb to the beautiful figure, but hit a huge box, and the eyeballs slipped off the box and fell on a small person.

"Madame, I'll help you carry the suitcase."

This is a good opportunity to be courteous, seeing that the box is not very heavy, the haired monster reached out and hugged it from above, but he actually stumbled and did not pick it up.

"I said big man, you said to help carry the suitcase, but you carried it." Liu Chang was under the box, standing still, of course it would be good to have someone to help with the work, this kind of good person is rare, and it can't be wasted.

It's too uncomfortable under the box, although the weight is not a problem, but the sky is too small, just the bottom of the box. When the box was moved from above, Xiao Liu Chang immediately ran from under and chased after his aunt. Free labor is not in vain, but they cannot wait for them to regret it. When the two carried the box to the room, the two almost doubted their lives. This box has at least two or three hundred catties, what is inside! What kind of person is that villain, who can lift such a heavy thing, even an adult. The two of them put the box on the ground, and they actually straightened up in unison and took a few breaths. Now their attention is no longer on the beautiful woman, the heavy box, but on this little slave with amazing strength, yes, they think Liu Chang is a slave.

This is a baby, the king of the gladiatorial arena, as long as you get this baby, you will no longer have to lie in the wind and snow in the future, run thousands of miles upside down, and you will have a lot of money at home. Be sure to buy this treasure from this beautiful slave owner, at any cost!

"Are you sure you want to buy me ... Slave? Liu Ling looked at Liu Chang, who was still a little bit with a smile in her eyes, but Liu Chang, who was a little bit of a little bit, had a black line on her face.

"Dear heroine, as long as you are willing to transfer, we will definitely give you a price that satisfies you." The two of them are well versed in the way of business, the real baby cannot be bargained, and the one who can bargain must not be the real baby.

"I'd like to hear what your price is to my satisfaction?" Liu Ling also came interested, staring at Liu Chang with happy eyes, she originally came out to relieve boredom and have fun, this fun came too fast, this fun was too big, and this fun was too cola.

"Madam, we are willing to pay a thousand gold" A thousand taels of gold is a thousand taels of gold, according to the weight at that time, it was 62.5 catties, which was much more than the weight of Liu Chang, who looked only five or six years old, and this price was a real price. According to the price of the slave market at that time, an adult strong male slave was only ten thousand dollars, which was one tael of gold.

"Hey, I said" Liu Chang hurriedly interjected, he couldn't go on like this, and if he continued like this, he was really sold by the catty, and walked to the handsome young man who was also kneeling on the couch, squatting, looking up at each other's eyes:

"You see, now, in the slave market, buy the best slave, but one or two gold, a thousand gold, you can buy eight or nine hundred. Not to mention that I'm still a child, even if I'm an adult, you wouldn't expect me to do the work of eight or nine hundred people alone, would you? In case I don't work alone, it is equivalent to eight or nine hundred people who don't work, thanks to you, I think you must be reluctant to kill me, it's too expensive. "Liu Chang is careful and enlightened, and he is also responsible for the buyer, no, we are from the Han Dynasty, even if we are so educated, we are so understanding.

"I'm willing to let you work, you're a baby" Before the young man could speak, the bearded furry monster hurriedly spoke.

"We have gladiatorial arenas in Rome, and you are a natural gladiator. You must not know what a gladiator is, it is the world of the brave in the world, the palace of the strong. Think about it, when all the opponents fall at your feet, and hundreds of thousands of people around you cheer for you and go crazy for you, you are the ruler of this fast heaven and earth, and you are the king of the palace. ”

His beard was shaking with excitement, and saliva was squirting through the thick hairs and splashing onto the ground. Although Liu Chang didn't squat across from him, he still moved his body to the side, for fear that saliva would spray on his body. Thousands of miles away, the big flicker, not far to the Han Dynasty, fooling the young heart of the Han Dynasty. What kind of spirit is this, this is the highest state of flickering, the international flickering.

"You are the king of the strong, your brilliance should shine on every corner of the gladiatorial arena, there is your heaven and earth, you are destined to become an idol in the hearts of hundreds of millions of people, you should stand in the middle of the gladiatorial arena to receive flowers and cheers, and you should not be buried in obscurity in the land of the great Han."

To be honest, after the flickering storm, Liu Chang was really a little moved. The topic must be reversed, and it cannot go on like this. If it goes on like this, Liu Chang is worried that he will sell himself without his aunt to speak, and he still doesn't want money.

"Hey, why don't you speak? Is what he said true, you're not trafficking in human beings, are you? "To open a breakthrough, you have to start with this young man.

"Dear madam, we are waiting for your reply" The young man didn't pay attention to Liu Chang, but bowed and muttered a lot, and then the bearded man asked Liu Ling directly. A slave is just a slave, no matter how expensive a slave is, he is also a slave, and the slave trade does not have to ask the slave's opinion. The value of this slave was in Rome and not here, and he was confident in his bid.

"Three, what do you think of the price?" Liu Ling also ignored the young man, but asked Liu Chang with a covetous expression on his face:

"It's a small amount of money to me, but it's better than nothing. You should be satisfied, too, you are worth more than gold. ”

"Madame"

Before Liu Chang could react, the young man stood up with anger on his face,

"Does the trade of slaves in your country require the consent of the slaves themselves? You can refuse to trade, but I also refuse to be humiliated. Please pay attention to the etiquette and demeanor of being a nobleman. After listening to the bearded man's remarks, the young man let the bearded man convey his anger, then turned around and walked out of the house.

"Guests from afar, please stay." Liu Ling felt the breath of the superior in the young man's body, this is the confidence engraved in the bone marrow, the pride in the melting blood, and the temperament of looking down on all beings, this is a nobleman, although he is from a different country, but the other party is from the same aristocratic background as himself. Her upbringing did not allow her to lose respect for the same aristocratic class. It is unforgivable to humiliate a nobleman, even if the nobleman is an enemy.

After playing, it's not playing, but cheap, self-cheap! Liu Ling did not make excuses for herself or refute them with righteous and strict words, which will further reflect the lack of her own upbringing, being responsible is upbringing, and being responsible is a pariah. Liu Ling restrained her playful attitude, got up and saluted the other party, and said:

"First of all, I apologize to Your Excellency for my rudeness" Although the young man on the other side couldn't understand, he could still know what Liu Ling meant about the change in Liu Ling's attitude, turned around, and returned a salute according to the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, and did not speak, he was waiting for the lady's explanation.

"This boy is not my slave, but my relative. I am ashamed of my rudeness and hope that your guests will forgive us for our rudeness. ”

After a brief moment of surprise, the latter quickly got up again, took a nobleman's son as a slave, and offered to buy it, and they felt embarrassed: "Please forgive me for being abrupt, it is our master and servant who are rude first, please don't blame Madame." ”

"Are you tired of saluting like this?" Liu Chang was beside him, watching them apologize to each other, and they couldn't play according to the original script, which was very boring.

The communication is strenuous and the attitude is sincere. The two sides reached an understanding and had dinner together, which was held in the room where Anyus was staying, arranged by the butler himself, and a rich Roman dinner was arranged, and the dinner was held in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. According to the young man's self-introduction, his name is Arius, he is a Roman nobleman, and he and Liu Chang have the same purpose, to play! Unlike Liu Chang, Liu Chang is playing on his own land, while Anus is playing in different countries and traveling around the world. With the opening of the Silk Road, he learned that there was a mysterious country in the far east, so he climbed along the Silk Road and appreciated the end of the East.

The bearded man was his butler Rust. The introduction of this side, of course, Liu Ling is still Liu Ling, Liu Chang is still Liu Chang.
