For the Tang Empire, the slave trade was indeed not allowed, and those who could be bought and sold were only those who had committed crimes and were demoted to official slaves, so that they could be specially pushed out by the government for trading.

In the general market, it is usually impossible to have this kind of slave trade, after all, the Tang people now feel that their country is in the heyday of prosperity, and no one wants to discredit their country, let alone go back to violate the laws of the Tang Empire.

Hearing that Lucius exposed himself and made himself the target of the public, the trader who sold Western creatures suddenly glanced at Lucius angrily, and then hurriedly explained to the others: "Everyone, everyone, these are not people at all, they are monsters in the West, Datang doesn't have a law prohibiting the random sale of monsters, right?"

The vendor's explanation also calmed down the indignant people, and they looked carefully at the three guys in the three cages one by one, except for the night elf, the other two were bullheads, and the other looked very hideous and terrifying, which really made it impossible to think of them as people.

But at this time, Lucius continued: "Everyone, everyone, there are some things that can't just be seen on the surface, they are creatures of the Western Continent, they also have their own ethnic groups in the Western Continent, and they can live in peace with most Westerners, and even they can integrate into Western society, let me ask you Tang people, have you always regarded the demon clan as a slave who can be bought and sold at will?"

Hearing Lucius mention the demon clan, the Tang people who were watching were suddenly confused, and it seemed that they didn't know how to judge now.

You must know that in the Middle Earth in the east, the two biggest enemies of the Tang Empire are the demons in the north and the demons in the south, but there are also some demons who have already belonged to the Tang Empire, and most of those demons have been integrated into the social life of the Tang people, so the Tang people do not reject them.

Now, according to Lucius, the guy in the three iron cages in front of him. In the West, it is similar to the Demon Clan in the East, and those present can't help but feel that they should not be bought and sold as goods.

Seeing that Lucius had made it clear that he was going to demolish his platform, the vendor suddenly became angry and shouted at Lucius: "You, who are you? These Western creatures have been caught by me after a great deal of hard work, and since I have caught them, shouldn't they be considered my prisoners? Since they are my captives, is there anything wrong with me taking them for sale?"

Speaking of which. The vendor was even more annoyed and pushed Lucius and asked, "And you count that onion? I can set up a stall here to do business, and that is with the permission of the government, why are you teaching me a lesson here?"

Seeing that the vendor actually played a trick, the people present naturally would not allow it, and before Lucius could reply, someone stepped forward first, stood in front of the vendor and Lucius, and questioned the vendor: "You said that you have the permission of the government, so good." Will you take out the government's approval document and take a look?"

"That is, that is, if you have the approval of the government, show it to us. If the government allows you to buy and sell such foreign creatures as slaves, then we will not look for you. ”

"Yes, we won't look for you, we'll go directly to the government. Could it be that under Lang Lang Qiankun, will my Datang still have no place to reason?"

was questioned by the onlookers, and the vendor's original arrogance suddenly dissipated. The whole person also wilted, and he shouldn't argue with those Tang people anymore.

In fact, the trader knew very well in his heart that there was no slave trade on the Datang business documents he got in his hand, and when he was looking for help from a friend in the government, his official friend said that this kind of slave trading document must be confirmed by the Datang Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department will confirm that the bought and sold slaves are indeed illegal before they are allowed to be bought and sold.

The merchant was just a merchant from the Western Regions, so how could he meet the Master of the Criminal Department? Moreover, even if he could, he did not dare to go to the Lord of the Criminal Department to ask for documents.

In the end, under the help of his friend Jianyi, the vendors quietly set up stalls in the West Market, and used the pretext of selling Western monsters as an excuse to avoid the possibility of violating the laws of the Tang Empire.

But neither the vendors nor their friends could have imagined that they would encounter Lucius, a man who had come from the West to the East, who knew about the minotaurs, orcs, and night elves in the Iron Prison, and was aggressive in asking him to let them go.

In the face of the indignant rebuke of most of the people present, in the end, the trader could only compromise: "Actually, I don't know what these three guys are, I just met them by chance in the Western Regions, so I bought them, thinking that they would be transported to Chang'an City, and they could buy some money, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome." ”

Lucius didn't say anything more, and immediately turned and stretched out his hand to look at Four, who immediately stepped forward and handed a heavy-looking box to the vendor.

Patting the box that Number Four was holding, Lucius said to the vendor, "These are for you, as a loss for you to buy them, and you can let them all go now." ”

The vendor carefully took the box, opened the box, and immediately saw the gold in the box, and the merchant instantly smiled, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates behind him, opened all the three cages, and released the three guys who were locked in the cage.

At the same time, he held the box and thanked Lucius: "Thank you, thank you for your generosity, they, they will be yours in the future." ”

Lucius looked at the three guys, and did not shy away from saying in the common language of the West: "Okay, you will be free in the future, you can go wherever you want, I can give you some money." ”

Originally, the three guys who had been locked up for an unknown amount of time still had some precautions against Lucius, but when they heard Lucius speak the Western language they were familiar with, the three weather-beaten guys were all stunned, and then their eyes were filled with hazy tears.

The Minotaur took two steps forward, knelt down on one knee in front of Lecius, and saluted Lecius respectfully, saying, "Honorable Lord, I, Bane, the Sunstrider, am willing to follow you and become the most faithful servant by your side, and I hope that your lord will take Bane in." ”

The people around them all looked at the scene in front of them in amazement, and although they couldn't understand the conversation between Lucius and the Minotaur, most people could still guess a thing or two from the movements of the two.

After Bane swore allegiance to Lucius, both the orc and the Night Elf swore allegiance, wanting to follow Lucius's side in a way that was unique to the West.

In fact, for the three of Bane, loyalty to Lecius is the best way out for them at the moment, after all, they know very well that they can no longer return to the West, and staying in the East will inevitably be discriminated against by the Easterners.

At least in their opinion, Lucius was able to communicate with them normally, and did not treat them as slaves, and they believed that the familiar aura of Lucius would bring them peace.

Lucius didn't shirk it, after all, he met the creatures of the West in the East, not to mention that the three of them were now unaccompanied, if he didn't accept them, I am afraid that even if they regained their freedom, it would be difficult for them in the Tang Empire.

accepted the three of them, and then said to Du Liniang beside her: "Auntie, let's find a place to stay first, so that they can freshen up and rest, we also need to rest after a long journey." ”

Du Liniang nodded when she heard this and said, "Well, yes, we should really take a break, or let's find an inn to live in first, right?"

As soon as Du Liniang's words fell, suddenly someone pushed away the crowd, rushed to the front of everyone, blocked everyone's way, and said to Lucius after a long breath: "Excuse me, may I ask if Your Excellency is His Royal Highness Lucius from the West?"

Lucius carefully looked at the young man who came to find him, and it seemed that the childishness on the other party's face was still there, more like a young child.

He smiled and replied, "Yes, I'm Lucius, who are you?"

The half-grown child quickly nodded and said, "It's really good, I finally found your Highness Lucius, quick, come with me, I have been waiting for you at the city gate for a long time, and I missed you, and I found you after looking for a long time, come quickly." ”

The half-grown boy turned and walked away, but before he could take a few steps, Shadow stopped him at the signal of Lucius, and asked in a deep voice, "Who sent you, and where are you taking us?"

The other party was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then he came to his senses and quickly explained: "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I came to greet a few people at the behest of the Second Sage, and the Second Sage has already arranged a place for you to live for His Highness Lucius, so please come with me." ”

The half-grown child's words shocked everyone, and the people who had been surrounding them unconsciously retreated to get out of the way, and they didn't even dare to look at the herald head-on.

Lucius looked at the other party carefully and found that the other party had red lips and white teeth, and although he was wearing a man's clothes, he could still see that the other party seemed to be a woman.

And now that the other party has conveyed the will of the two saints, you must know that in the Tang Empire, the will of the monarch is very high, and no one dares to pretend to be, so the person in front of him dressed as a man should not deceive Lucius and them, nor dare to deceive them casually.

Lucius glanced at the others, and when he saw Du Liniang nodding quietly, he said, "Okay, then it's time to work, please lead the way in front." ”

The other party didn't say anything more, turned around and swaggered out of the crowd, and walked straight towards the square gate on the east side of the West Market.

Although everyone still had some doubts, since Lucius had agreed to the other party, the others naturally would not have any objections, and under the leadership of Lucius, they followed closely behind the person who conveyed the will, and walked towards the outside of the West Market in full view of everyone.

After Lucius and others left, the short silence of the West Market broke out again, but Lucius and his party are destined to become the topic of conversation for most people in the West Market after dinner. (To be continued......)
