Chapter 9: On the Slave

Walking out of the stable, looking at the bright moonlight, Li Yuan missed Li Wu a little, after all, Li Yuan has never left Li Wu's side when he is so old, and has been living with Li Wu.

Suddenly a person began to travel around, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of loneliness in his heart, and suddenly this variegated horse (called Xiao Gray) snorted, which immediately diluted Li Yuan's lonely mood,

smiled, touched the horse's head, adjusted his mood, then turned over and got on the horse, and began to gallop towards the east, with bright moonlight, he could see the road clearly at night, but he was not afraid that Xiao Gray would not see clearly and hit something

In order to prevent the people from the post station from coming in the morning to find out the abnormality, Li Yuan chose to hurry in the dark, but Li Yuan didn't care what kind of punishment the people at the post station would receive if they lost their horses.

Li Yuan is just a selfish person in the end, he didn't offend his own interests, Li Yuan didn't mind helping out, just like the Qin Di he met when he first entered the plains, but once he touched his own interests, Li Yuan would not care about the feelings of others, in the final analysis, this is always a world where martial arts are respected, and it is impossible to gain anyone's respect without strength in this world,

For example, the gray-clothed middle-aged man, Li Yuan observed his strength during the day, and roughly got a judgment, at most he was a six-star martial artist, this kind of strength can only be regarded as average in Muke Village, not to mention this kind of personnel working in the imperial court institutions, I am afraid that it is precisely because of this gray-clothed middle-aged man whose strength is mediocre that he will be sent to such a sparsely populated place.

Although Li Yuan has the memory of his previous life, Li Yuan also agrees with this point of view very much in his heart, after all, no matter the past life and this life, the difference between strength and lack of strength, no matter which world it is placed in, it will work

Walking to the east is the direction of Danzhu Town, walking all night, and coming to the edge of a flat meadow, Xiao Ash is also exhausted, and is panting on the side, Li Yuan is not in a hurry, at this speed, he will definitely be able to reach the vicinity of Danzhu Town in three days,

Anyway, I still have a lot of time, and after walking for a night, the people at the post station now estimate that they have lost their horses, and if they want to chase them, they are afraid that they will not be able to find their own place, and just losing a horse is not worth it for these post station personnel to mobilize the public, probably at most to report a death to the top,

The psychological thoughts of this kind of post station personnel are also what Li Wu said to him during his daily chat, and Li Yuan remembers many contents clearly.

Li Yuan let go of the reins, let Xiao Ash gnaw on the grass on this grass, and he only found a big rock to sit on, he had never ridden a horse for such a long time before, after a night of bumps, and then his own strengthened body, before he underwent systematic equestrian training, it was also a little unbearable

Li Yuan rested for a while, and saw that Xiao Ash's breathing gradually stabilized, and he no longer ate, so he led Xiao Ash and began to continue his journey, walking to a high ground, and suddenly heard a noisy sound below, and looked down

I saw that hundreds of people were mining rocks in an open-pit rock mine, and there were more than a dozen overseers in black overalls who were whipping some slow people with long whips in their hands, and these overseers were holding long whips and pinning various weapons to their waists, and it could be seen that they should be some people who had exercised to a certain extent

Just listening to the sound of "pop", there was an extra bloody wound on the body of those who moved slowly, and if you looked closely, there were no less than ten bloody wounds like this, and some of them were even scabbed.

Li Yuan only glanced at it, and his brows gradually condensed, although Li Yuan was selfish, he was also a person who had received education in the new era, and when he saw this scene, he inevitably felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Although he already has a human life in his hands, he still can't accept this kind of scene of treating people as animals.

But Li Yuan didn't know the bottom line of these people, and he didn't have the idea of making a rash move, he just quietly observed,

After a while, Li Yuan listened to the chatter of these managers, although these overseers spoke some chattering witch language, but Li Yuan still understood it, don't ask Li Yuan how to understand witch language, ask is Li Wujiao, Li Yuan also probably knows the identity of these laborers, these people are slaves, basically Han Chinese, are the family members of some officials who have made mistakes in the imperial court,

Although he knew the identities of these people, Li Yuan still couldn't accept this behavior of treating people as animals, and saw a gray-haired slave carrying a stone, because of his weak strength, he did not move the stone, but slipped under his feet and fell to the side.

I don't know when these slaves started to work, you must know that this is the hour (five o'clock in the morning) and they have not rested all night, so they are on the road so early, looking at some torches around that have not been extinguished, it is conceivable that these slaves are afraid that they will start to work before dawn,

The gray-haired slave fell to the ground, trying to struggle, not only did the surrounding overseers come forward to help, but a big man with a full face slammed the whip over, and a bloody wound appeared on the slave's body, and blood began to slowly ooze from the wound,

The slave was shocked by such a blow, and his movements to get up couldn't help but speed up a few points, and a few seconds passed, only to see that when the big man with a face full of flesh raised his whip and was about to come out, the slave barely stood up with difficulty on the stone wall, and staggered towards the stone that had not been lifted just now.

But no matter how hard he exerted, the stone just didn't move, and seeing that the whip raised by the big man was about to be pulled down again, seeing this, Li Yuan finally couldn't help but pick up the bow and arrow in his hand, aimed at the big man's head and shot it out,

The bow and arrow that Li Yuan is using now is the weapon left behind to kill the disciple of the "Lingyu Villa", it is an iron tire bow, although it is not a piece of equipment, but it is still much stronger than Li Yuan's own wooden bow.

With the arrows he picked up from the big man, he shot an arrow,

"Huh"

With a bang, the bow and arrow were inserted straight into the big man's head, and the tip of the arrow even penetrated the brain and drilled out directly from the back of the head.

Before the big man could react, he fell straight to the ground, and this time, not only the other overseers, but also the surrounding slaves were stunned for a moment.

"What people"

I only heard another big man roar angrily, pulled out a long knife from his waist, looked around, and soon found Li Yuan's trace, Li Yuan didn't want to hide the idea, another bow and arrow, only to hear another sound of falling to the ground, a big man was hit by an arrow in the chest, and fell straight down,

This can be regarded as a wake-up awakening of everyone, and the rest of the slaves, including some overseers, hurriedly hid in all directions, and the scene was chaotic for a while

Only the big man who found Li Yuan first, with the rest of the dozen or so overseers, rushed in the direction of Li Yuan, it was obvious that this big man should be the leader of these managers,

Li Yuan didn't panic, and while these people hadn't approached yet, there were two more arrows, and the two overseers fell in response,

But at this moment, under the leadership of the overseer leader, more than a dozen overseers had rushed to a distance of less than ten zhang from Li Yuan, who wanted to use another bow and arrow attack, but when he saw this distance, he knew that it was too late

Immediately threw the bow and arrow aside, took out the long sword from his waist, made a "Xuanyan Sword Technique" starting style, and began to prepare to meet the enemy, Li Yuan was observing just now, and he already had a general understanding of the strength of these overseers, most of them were ordinary people, at most they had some exercise, and their physique was not as good as the villagers of Muke Village,

The leader Li Yuan didn't look carefully just now, but he saw that his running speed and undisciplined sword holding gestures were at most the level of a fifth-stage martial artist, and he was even inferior to the middle-aged man of the station.

As the flames of the sword body ignited, a fierce momentum erupted from Li Yuan's body, and the leader of the overseers was startled, and the pace on his feet began to slow down, until he stopped less than two feet away from Li Yuan

"Who is Your Excellency, why did you kill the people of my Stone Forest Vein for no reason, you must know that we are the overseers personally appointed by the imperial court, and your Excellency killed for no reason, are you not afraid of attracting the pursuit of the imperial court?"

Li Yuan didn't respond, and he didn't care at all about what the big man said about the court, whatever the big man said, in Li Yuan's opinion, was no different from nonsense, the so-called imperial court, impossible, because these stinky fish and rotten shrimp came to hunt down the murderer, this big man was just pulling a tiger skin for himself to intimidate,

Li Yuan raised his sword and stepped forward, a set of flowing "Xuanyan Sword Technique" was cast, and in a few breaths, except for this big man, the remaining dozen or so overseers had already fallen to the ground, and there was no life, and this big man was also covered with wounds, and it seemed that he was out of breath and less in breath, Li Yuan waved his sword at will, and the big man was unwilling to fall to the ground

Walked into the open-pit ore vein, found several other overseers who were hiding, and easily killed them one by one with a sword.

The trembling slaves who looked back at him coughed dryly: "Who of you is the leader here", and after speaking, he glanced around, and saw that they all lowered their heads, and no one responded,

Impatiently asked again, only to see the gray-haired slave in the crowd, trembling slightly raised his hand and walked over, "The old man's name is Ran Xin, he used to be the imperial court Hanlin, and the people here respect me, so the old man's words are also a little useful here."

Li Yuanyi heard the spirit, oh! "Didn't you say that all the officials of my Jiuli Dynasty are Wu clan, I look at your body appearance, and it doesn't look like a Wu clan" The most obvious feature that distinguishes Wu and Han people in the Jiuli Dynasty is to look at the body shape, Wu people are burly and tall, their eyes are usually bewitching purple, and their facial contours are more reckless, while the Han people are relatively thin, their eyes are black, and their facial contours are softer.

Li Yuan looked at this old man, with black eyes and a thin figure, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a witch clansman
