"Young master, should we send her back? Shi Youshan leaned over to Ye Wu and said.
Ye Wu groaned a little, and finally shook his head.
"It's all come to this point, it's too dangerous to send someone to send her back......" he muttered a little, "That's it, take it first, I'll write a letter to the emperor when I go back, and after reporting the situation, he will make a decision." ”
Shi Youshan nodded after hearing this.
"That's all there is to it," he said, gesturing to a few people on the side, "what about those people?"
Ye Wu looked at his fingertips, only to see that those black-clothed people were gathered together with blank faces, he walked over, and Shi Youshan followed.
A man in black saw someone coming, and hurriedly picked up the weapon beside him.
"You...... What are you going to do!" he said, his frightened face distressed to the man, as did the rest of the men in black.
Ye Wu waved his hand.
"I have no ill will," he showed his empty hands, "we are leaving, do any of you want to go with us, if not, I will give you some coils, and you can go after taking them." ”
The man in black only stabilized when he heard this, and they discussed it, and finally came up with an answer.
"We have nowhere else to go, so please take the young master in. "The man in black represents one knee down, as does the rest.
"Good. Ye Wu nodded, and then stepped on the horse.
Jiang Ruyan also found a horse, thinking of getting on the horse as handsome as Ye Wu, but unfortunately her legs were too short to step on it at all, she blushed, lowered her head, and glanced at Ye Wu from time to time.
Ye Wu looked at this scene, the two figures in front of him gradually coincided, and he sneered.
"Come, come with me. With that, he passed his hand over.
"Hmm. Jiang Ruyan responded, calming down her excited emotions, her face was calm, she stretched out her hand, and got on the horse with a little force.
The convoy traveled until noon
"Young master, there is an inn in front. "Scouts came on horseback to report what was ahead.
The crowd was overjoyed.
"It's an inn......"
"Finally I don't have to sleep in the open......"
“......”
The soldier's voice came into his ears, and Ye Wu signaled when he saw this: "Lead the way, we will stay at the guest house today." ”
"Good!" cheered, they hadn't slept a good night's sleep in days.
Following the scout, I saw an inn after a while, this inn was not large, with a radius of 200 feet and two floors at the bottom.
Ye Wu stepped in, and as soon as he entered the inn, the shopkeeper greeted him at the signal of the shopkeeper at the front desk.
"Guest, eat or stay?" said an unnatural smile on the shopkeeper's face.
"Eat first," Ye Wu said, casually pointing to the wooden sign on the left and ordering a few dishes, "Ten portions of each of these things." ”
After Xiao Er saw Ye Wu's order, he looked at the lines of several people, and concluded in his heart that Ye Wu's identity was not trivial.
These people don't seem to be easy, and if I serve them well, I might be able to get a few rewards." Thinking of this, Xiao Er's face changed, and his smile was even better than before.
"Okay! please here!" he pointed out a position for Ye Wu, and at the same time didn't remember the previous recipe in his heart, after confirming that it was correct, he shouted at the back kitchen with his throat in his voice, "Four buckets of steamed rice! Ten portions of spicy pig's trotters......"
After reporting the name of the dish, Xiao Er rubbed his hands with a smile on his face and looked at Ye Wu.
"What are you still doing here?" Shi Youshan was puzzled, this dish had been ordered, why was this kid still standing here.
Ye Wu naturally knew the other party's intentions, he casually threw away a few tattooed coins, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw this, his eyes were quick, and he took advantage of the fact that the guys around him didn't find it, and put the money in his pocket.
"Guest officer, wait a minute, I'll make you tea. He nodded, and then left.
"What kind of person ......" Shi Youshan muttered, looking at the shopkeeper with some disdain.
Qiu Kui has been in the rivers and lakes for many years and knows the sophistication of people.
"It's just a matter of necessity. He said,
After Xiao Er served tea, seeing that there was still some time for the meal, Ye Wuxiao began to chat about the recent situation in Nanzhou City.
"Young master, this Jia Yu is not an ordinary person, I joined the army at the same time as him, and I didn't intersect with him, but I have heard the deeds of this person, this person is decisive in killing, he is a general, if it weren't for the ...... back then" Shi Youshan said, suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance.
"I'll be honest with you, I'll break your leg if you run again!" came a shout from outside the door, and then the bearded merchant walked in with a child of seven or eight years old.
"Let go of me!" the child kept resisting, but in exchange for beating again and again.
Jiang Ruyan, who grew up in the deep palace since she was a child, where could she see this scene, she looked at the child, and her fingers unconsciously pulled Ye Wu's sleeves.
"What do you see?" the slave trader looked at Jiang Ruyan with some unpleasantness, and when he saw Jiang Ruyan's face clearly, he was stunned.
'This is a good thing. He swallowed, an eerie glint in his eyes.
Ye Wu frowned when he saw this, this person was a little too bold, and he actually thought crookedly under his nose.
"Hmph!" he snorted coldly, slapped the table, and saw a group of people behind him who were eating nonsense put down their drinks and looked at the slave trader.
Feeling the dozens of cold and murderous gazes around him, the slave trader swallowed his saliva, smiled at Ye Wuyi, and turned to vent the fire in his heart on the child.
"Who is he, and what right does he have to treat people like this?" Jiang Ruyan said angrily.
"This is a slave trader. Ye Wu explained.
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ruyan covered her mouth and exclaimed, she hurriedly covered her small mouth.
"What...... Didn't my father prohibit human trafficking? How could it be ......?" she whispered.
"People die for money, birds die for food, and there are always people who can't withstand the temptation of usury and take risks...... You are too shallow in the world and don't understand the way of the world. Ye Wu took a sip of tea very naturally.
Jiang Ruyan didn't speak, her eyes kept on the slave merchant's 'goods', and suddenly, she spoke: "They don't deserve this kind of treatment...... Let's save them. ”
Ye Wu stopped moving in his hand, and he looked at Jiang Ruyan.
"Even if you save them, what can you change? ”
Jiang Ruyan's expression was rarely serious.
"I don't care, as long as I see it, I will definitely save it. She said.
"You ......" Ye Wu listened to these familiar words, and was speechless for a long time.
After a moment, he sighed and put down the teacup in his hand.
"Wait. He poked his foot out and stopped in front of the slave trader.
Seeing this, the slave trader raised his eyebrows, and took a step back for fear of hurting the harmony.
"What do you want to do?" His face sank, and as soon as his words fell, he saw dozens of people pulling out their long knives at their waists and standing behind him, and the battle was about to break out.
"How much do you guys add up, I bought it. Ye Wu said.
The merchant was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes fell on Jiang Ruyan, and there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart.
He looked at the clothes on Ye Wu's body, his eyes flickered, and he estimated Ye Wu's worth in his heart.
"Thirty ...... No, two hundred silver!" he doubled his estimate.
"What!" Shi Youshan was shocked in his heart, isn't this a robbery? He slapped the table, pointed at the vendor's nose and shouted, "You are really too deceitful!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone stood up one after another to support Shi Youshan.
The vendor is also a person who has seen the world, and his face remains the same.
"You can't say that, doing business, by your will, I didn't force you to buy, besides, these goods were originally booked, I am willing to buy you is already in the miscellaneous word-of-mouth, if you think the price is not good, you can leave, but if you want to take it by force, then we are not jealous! Brothers!. As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves, and the people behind him drew their weapons one after another, and their momentum was as good as Shi Youshan.
"You ......" Shi Youshan was not lightly angered by this inexplicable hat, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Ye Wu casually lost a belt of silver taels.
"You click on it. ”
The vendor looked at Ye Wu in surprise.
"This guy just took the money so easily, and he didn't even pay back the price?" he took the money bag with some suspicion, put it to his ear, and listened to the sound of the silver colliding with the white flowers, and there was no more, no less, exactly three hundred silver.
With so much money in exchange for these dozen worthless slaves, if it were for him, he would have been happy a long time ago, but now he was not happy at all.
It's a fat sheep! He felt sorry in his heart.
His gaze inadvertently fell on Ye Wu.
This guy is probably an upstart, and he has fine skin and tender flesh to fear. ’
He swept his gaze to Shi Youshan behind Ye Wu again.
'These guys...... There is nothing to be afraid of. ’
In the end, he set his eyes on Jiang Ruyan, and in the face of Jiang Ruyan's appearance, an evil thought rose in his heart.
'This girl is good, looking at this young appearance, it is estimated that she is still a girl...... It's better to ......'
The merchant thought in his heart, but he was silent on the surface, he nodded at Ye Wu while smiling happily, and nodded at Ye Wu, and his words and deeds depicted the image of a small person vividly.
"Childe is really generous, since you paid, I should also deliver the goods, these people are yours, you and me...... Separately meet. He kicked the money bag in his pocket, and after giving it up, he flew out of the inn with the people.
Ye Wu looked at the back of the vendor, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, in fact, he already knew what the other party had in mind, but he was forced to do it because the inn was crowded, and it was difficult to do it, otherwise he would have cleaned up this group of people a long time ago.
"yes...... You and I will meet separately. He poured the tea on the ground, and then picked up his chopsticks and ate the dishes that the shopkeeper had served.
