Chapter 5: The Former Brothers
"My lord, that brother of yours has come over with the big slave chief!" Yang Wei said again. In the past two days, he has completely learned about Zhao Wunu's situation from the mouths of other slaves. Zhao Wunu's father was a strong man, because he practiced some martial arts, he was powerful, he could do the work of two or three people alone, and his temperament was very strong, so the slave commander at that time promised to let him raise Zhao Wunu and Zhao Xiaohua.
Later, another group of slaves came, one of whom also had a son, and when they were captured, Zhao Wunu was already five years old, and the child was about the same size as Zhao Wunu. However, this male slave was not as physically strong as Zhao Wunu's father, and he died of overwork after not long in his work.
Before he died, the male slave entrusted the boy to Zhao Wunu's father, and Zhao Wunu's father agreed to adopt the boy when he saw that the child was pitiful. There were only three of them in this slave group, and Zhao Wunu and Zhao Xiaohua were good playmates with the boys.
It's just that in the end, Zhao Wunu's father also died of overwork.
......
"Wu Li?" Zhao Wunu turned out the name in his memory, this Wu Li was indeed a good brother of his predecessor, he grew up together from childhood to adulthood, and the relationship was very good. It's just that this Wu Li has had a strange personality since he was a child, and if he wasn't close to him, he wouldn't be able to detect it.
Half a year ago, Wu Li didn't know where to get a teenage girl who was dedicated to the chief of the big slave who managed several surrounding areas, the chief of the slave was a womanizer, and he was very happy to see the girl Wu Li dedicated to him in good shape, so he left him by his side.
Wu Li's behavior made the slaves in this area feel disdainful, but he didn't hear from him for half a year after he arrived at the big slave chief, why did he suddenly come with the big slave chief this time?
Zhao Wunu frowned slightly, he felt that something was wrong.
"My lord, my lord!" Yang Wei saw Zhao Wunu standing in place in a daze, and shouted twice.
"Huh?" Zhao Wunu reacted and looked at Yang Wei.
"My lord, the chief slave is here in person, and we all need ...... Go and meet it yourself, now that all the slaves have been gathered, it is time for us to leave. Saying that, Yang Wei looked at Zhao Wunu carefully, although he was now hanging the card of the slave chief, but the slavery order was in the hands of Zhao Wunu, and Zhao Wunu was the veritable slave chief in this area!
He was afraid that Zhao Wunu would not be upset and not meet the contact, and if he was angry with the big slave chief, they would both die!
"Let's take a look. Zhao Wunu's eyes rolled, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he wanted to see how this former brother was doing now.
"Yes. Yang Wei immediately bowed his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Wunu and the two walked to the front of the slave shed, only to see that hundreds of slaves had all gathered together, and the big slave chief had not yet arrived. Yang Wei stood in front of the slave group, and Zhao Wunu walked straight to the slave group, although he now held the slavery order, he had to keep a low profile.
When Zhao Wunu walked into the crowd, the surrounding slaves all walked away in unison, giving him a place.
"Huh?" Zhao Wunu frowned, this was not a kind concession. Strangely looking up at the familiar faces around them, they looked at Zhao Wunu with disdain at this time, and even a few slaves continued to retreat, lest standing close to Zhao Wunu would defile their clothes.
"What's going on?" Zhao Wunu's brows furrowed even deeper, he and Xiaohua were the two youngest in this group of slaves, and everyone seemed to be friendly to him, but they had only been seen for a few days, and they all became like strangers, and even looked at him as if they had seen an enemy.
A few people are fine, but it's weird that so many people are all like this. Zhao Wunu glanced around and found that it was good to just retreat, and some people were full of hatred, and even began to curse on their lips.
"Dog minion!"
"It's really not as good as a pig!"
"Establish a virtue with his brother Wu, scum!"
......
A low scolding came into Zhao Wunu's ears, and his brows furrowed even deeper, all this is too weird, these people have been with his predecessor for a lot of time, and it is impossible to hate him for no reason.
Before he could think about it, he heard the sound of horses' hooves from far to near, and when he looked up, he saw a carriage rushing to this side in the distance, followed by a few guards in front and behind.
The carriage was getting closer, and Zhao Wunu could already see the appearance of the guards on horseback, and the horseman driving the carriage was his former brother - Wu Li!
"Woo ......" carriages and guards stopped in front of the crowd, and a puff of dust flew.
"Welcome to the Great Slave Chief!" Yang Wei shouted when he saw the carriage stop in front of him, and knelt on his knees. The slave behind immediately knelt on the ground with an expressionless face, and only Zhao Wunu stood behind in a daze, looking at the carriage.
Of course Zhao Wunu will not kneel, he is a generation of emperors who have been reborn, how can he kneel to others, let alone just a big slave!
"Pig, do you want to die so much!"
"The brain is burned out, or is it tired and crooked!" Several slaves around saw Zhao Wunu standing there stunned without kneeling, and they all sneered.
"Zhao Wuyong, kneel down!" Suddenly the corner of Zhao Wunu's clothes was pulled, and a scolding voice sounded, and when he turned his head, it turned out to be the middle-aged man who slapped him that day, and he didn't know when he arrived at Zhao Wunu's side.
Zhao Wunu glanced at the middle-aged man and ignored it.
"Hurry up, do you hear me!" The middle-aged man shouted anxiously when he saw that Zhao Wunu had not knelt down yet. As a slave, it is a capital crime not to kneel when you see the big slave grown!
Zhao Wunu was still unmoved. He was the only one among the hundreds of slaves who did not kneel, and he undoubtedly stood out from the crowd, and the guards on horseback had already seen him in the anxious persuasion of the middle-aged man.
"Presumptuous, don't kneel down when you see the big slave chief!" The guards in front of him drew their swords together, and scolded the sword and pointed directly at Zhao Wunu!
Zhao Wunu's head is high, whether it is the enslaved emperor or Zhao Wunu, he was born to only kneel to the sky and kneel to his parents, and he has never knelt to others!
"Look for death!" Seeing that his scolding was useless, the guards were furious, and as soon as their bodies jumped, they were about to jump down and take Zhao Wunu's head!
"Stop!" stopped the guard just as he was about to jump off his horse.
"Huh?" the guard turned his head to look, and it turned out to be Wu Li in the carriage who stopped him.
"What do you mean?" Although Wu Li contributed a woman to the big slave chief and became a celebrity of the big slave chief, his status was at most similar to that of those slave leaders, and Wu Li, a guard like them who was directly sent down from the family, was not qualified to take care of their affairs!
Facing the murderous guard, Wu Li's body shook, glanced at Zhao Wunu, who stood out from the crowd, and turned his head and whispered a few words into the carriage.
"Forget it. After a while, a voice came from the carriage.
"Yes. Hearing the voice, the guard immediately withdrew his sword and hugged his fists.
"Are you pleading for me?" Zhao Wunu looked at the carriage, and the one in the carriage must be the chief of the big slave, but he didn't expect Wu Li to intercede for him. In his previous life, as a slave emperor, he had a lonely and arrogant personality, and for him he was only a slave, not a brother!
"Get up. There was another sound in the carriage.
"Yes, my lord!" Yang Wei shouted and stood up, and the slaves behind him all stood up. When everyone stood up and the carriage opened, I saw a bald man walking out, with a Chinese face, ordinary appearance, and a strong body.
The bald man stood in the carriage with his hands behind his back, scanning the crowd condescendingly.
"Huh?" After glancing for a moment, the bald man frowned and let out a sound of dissatisfaction.
"Wu Li. ”
"Yes, sir. Wu Li immediately responded.
"Why don't you see anyone?" said the bald man dissatisfied.
"Huh?"
"My lord, let me see. Wu Li's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said. If he angered the chief slave, he would be dead!" he immediately stood on tiptoe and looked into the crowd, but no matter how much he looked, he didn't see the person he was looking for.
There was no one to see, and Wu Li's forehead was already faintly sweating. Today, the chief of the slave came to this area is what he suggested, if he didn't find someone to make the chief of the slave think that he was playing him, the end would be worse than a thousand cuts!
"Yang Wei, where is Zhao Xiaohua?" Wu Li hurriedly walked up to Yang Wei and asked. If the chief of the slave came in person, it would be a capital crime if he didn't greet him in person! Now on this occasion, Zhao Xiaohua is not there...... Wu Li sighed in his heart, the purpose of their visit this time was Zhao Xiaohua, not long ago, he also asked Yang Wei in a letter, if Zhao Xiaohua was not there, then he would definitely die a miserable death!
"Zhao Xiaohua!" Yang Wei's heart jumped, the big slave came too suddenly, there were too many things that had happened these days, and he hurriedly urged Zhao Wunu to come over, but he forgot about Zhao Xiaohua's stubble, and at this time, the pharmacist went up the mountain to collect medicine again. The chief of the slaves is here, and it is a capital offense for any slave not to be present!
In the past, it was okay, the life and death of a slave was none of his business, but now Zhao Xiaohua is his master's sister, if he is executed, he will definitely die!
She ...... She was seriously injured and was being treated by a pharmacist. "There was no way, he didn't dare to hide it, and it was a capital crime to dare to hide slaves, so he had to say it hard.
There is a medicine man in every area, and although the slaves are low, the manpower and material resources to get a group of slaves to come over are not insignificant. If the slave resources are sufficient, as long as any slave is sick or injured, it will be thrown away, and if the slave resources are scarce, some minor injuries and illnesses will be cured by the pharmacist.
However, under normal circumstances, the pharmacist is idle, so it can be said that it is specially prepared for the slave master. The medicine master is also a slave, but there are some privileges, if there is something that cannot be separated from the body, the chief of the slave can not come in person.
"If you don't hurry up and bring it over, you have to sacrifice it to the big slave chief, we will all lose our heads if we delay the matter!" Wu Li shouted anxiously.
