State of Qin.

Teochew.

Chu Liusheng and Lu Chuan walked on the streets of Chaozhou with great interest, the customs here are very different from those of Qi State, although Chu Liusheng stayed here for a short time after losing his memory, and when he came here again, he still couldn't help but look around.

Many pedestrians on the street are dressed in classical robes, and most of them are elderly people. The stout and burly man was dressed in animal clothes, and the fur of the beast was made of the shoulders on his body, and his chest was exposed. The women were dressed quite openly, wearing only long silk dresses, tied around their waists with colorful ribbons, and their tight-fitting clothes set off the delicate curves of their figures, and their slender white legs attracted the attention of many people.

Most of the surrounding buildings are made of wood, and when you look up, all kinds of jumble buildings are built on thick wood, and people creak across the wooden bridge in mid-air. There is a road above the towering buildings, which is dazzling to see.

The folk customs of the Qin State have always been known for their fierceness, and the people are generally bold and open. On the streets of Chaozhou City, there are people in strange costumes walking by, and passers-by are accustomed to it. On both sides of the road were crowded with shacks made of various timbers, all of which were simple shops, with the sound of striking iron tinkling and the swords of the swords shining aside.

Chu Liusheng was attracted by various places along the way, and when he walked through the lively streets, he could never keep up with the pace of Lu Chuan in front of him. After walking for a while, Lu Chuan finally couldn't help it, turned around and scolded in a low voice: "Hey, boy, don't look around, remember what we're here for." ”

"Of course I do. Chu Liusheng said casually, his eyes fluttering, "Of course, I came to ask my master about my background." ”

Lu Chuan stopped, looked at him, sighed, and said, "The premise is that you have to participate in the selection of Keqing to have the opportunity to meet the master, you think the master is the little lady of your family, you can see it when you say it." ”

Chu Liusheng listened, and snorted in his nose, which was a response. Lu Chuan shook his head helplessly and continued to hurry.

After walking for a while, a small square appeared in front of them, which was overcrowded with people, and the onlookers blocked the road that was not wide. When Chu Liusheng saw it, he became interested again, and went straight into the crowd.

In the center of the square, there were several huge cages, and inside were several unkempt people, with chains around their necks, their faces covered with dirt, and their eyes were blankly looking out.

When Chu Liusheng saw this scene, he was stunned, and subconsciously asked Lu Chuan beside him, "Alas, master, are these people breaking the law?"

Lu Chuan also glanced inside, his expression was frozen, and he said lightly: "These people are all from the Chu State. ”

"Chu Guoren?" Chu Liusheng showed a surprised look on his face and said, "Why didn't we see each other when we were in Qin State last year?" Chu State ...... Isn't it the death of the country?"

Lu Chuan had a gloomy face, looked at the Chu people in the cage like beggars in distress, and said, "Last year was winter...... The people of Chu who were caught here, no one could survive the winter. At the end of autumn, all the Chu people who were found would be put to death. ”

"Ahh......h

Lu Chuan groaned and said to him: "These are the refugees of the Chu State who fled from the imperial capital and fled to various countries when the Chu State was destroyed. These people are now reduced to slavery. Qin, as the biggest victorious state in the fight against Chu, had the right to dispose of them. Nowadays, in the summer, the captured refugees of Chu will be put up for auction in the bazaar, and if they are not sold, they will die in late autumn. ”

Chu Liusheng listened, turned around and asked, "That...... Those refugees from the Chu State...... Where are they hiding?"

Lu Chuan shook his head and said, "Maybe it's in the corner of the world, they don't have a hometown anymore, the four seas are their home, as long as they can survive, they can stay anywhere." ”

Chu Liusheng nodded thoughtfully and said, "I see...... After I lost my memory, I didn't know anything about these things...... Master, can you tell me more about what happened before? ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Chuan slapped him on the head and said angrily: "Now you know that you are called a master?" Ergou, there are still many things you don't know." ”

Chu Liusheng smiled stupidly, and just wanted to refute, when suddenly, there was a commotion in the center of the bazaar.

A man dressed in brocade and looking like a businessman, who should be the boss here, swaggered up to the crowd, held his stomach, and shouted, "Everyone be quiet, the auction is about to begin." ”

The crowd of onlookers quickly fell silent, and all eyes were on him and the cages around him.

The boss glanced at the crowd, nodded, and reached out to grasp a thick chain outside the cage. In front of everyone, he pulled upwards hard, and the iron chain was put around the neck of a Chu woman in the cage, and she was lifted up violently, and the woman suddenly stood up from the ground, her face was red from the chain, and she covered her neck with both hands, and moaned in pain.

The boss glanced at her with contemptuous eyes, and then said to everyone: "Brothers, this auction is still according to the old rules, the highest price wins, my reputation is known to the neighboring neighbors, this batch of Chu people brought over, not sick or poisonous, are all high-quality goods, if you are not at ease, you can also try the quality." ”

It was the first time for Chu Liusheng to see the auction of living people, and he was attracted and couldn't move his steps, looking at this scene curiously.

Lu Chuan, who was on the side, silently walked up to him, pulled his shirt, and said in a low voice: "What? Do you still want to see the excitement? Hurry up and find a place to live first, don't delay." ”

"Oh, I know...... But these people ...... It's too pitiful......" Chu Liusheng muttered and looked at the humanity in the cage, "It's all people, and they haven't committed any crimes, just because they are from the Chu country, so it's like this......"

As soon as he finished speaking, a handsome man with a height of eight buckets and a gray-blue robe next to him turned his head sideways and looked at him and said, "Eh, brother Tai, what you are talking about should not be from the Qin Kingdom." ”

Chu Liusheng was stunned for a moment, looked at him and nodded lightly, and hummed.

The man smiled and said, "I don't look like you, do you know that this place used to be the territory of the Chu State, and how many sins the Chu State did to the world back then, even if the people of the entire Chu State came to pay off the debts, it was far from enough." ”

Lu Chuan listened to his words and frowned.

"In that year, the state of Chu invaded Qi, slaughtered the city and set it on fire, successively turned hundreds of thousands of acres of land into a sea of fire, hundreds of thousands of people were displaced, and countless people died tragically, the state of Chu invaded Qin, and after capturing a city, it wantonly slaughtered the local people, and more than 50,000 people were buried alive within ten days. The state of Chu invaded Yan, burning, killing and looting. When he invaded the Great Moon Kingdom, the princess he married was tortured in front of the big moon ministers and burned alive...... The evil that the Chu State has done to the people of the world is innumerable for days and nights. ”

The man said calmly, with a cold light in his eyes.

Chu Liusheng looked at him in surprise, not knowing what to say.

The man turned his head to look at him, his tone softened a little, and said, "Little brother, presumably you have also experienced the disaster of war and chaos committed by the atrocities of the Chu State, you don't know this. ”

Chu Liusheng looked at Lu Chuan behind him at a loss, the mottled wrinkles on Lu Chuan's face were squeezed together, he pulled his shirt, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, it's none of our business." ”

He nodded, and before he had time to say goodbye to the man, he was dragged out of the market by Lu Chuanqiang.

After walking on the bustling street for a while, Lu Chuan let go of him. Hurry forward on your own. Chu Liusheng's heart was full of doubts, and he chased after him and asked: "Old man, why don't you tell me much about the Chu State, I stayed on a battlefield before I lost my memory, maybe, this is related to my life experience." ”

Lu Chuan glanced at him sideways, and said, "I didn't say it, and you didn't ask, just you, a little beggar who no one cares about, what does your background have to do with fighting?"

When Chu Liusheng heard this, he looked up anxiously and said busily: "That's not necessarily, I always dream about war-related things these days, and I also dream that I was killed...... It seems like...... ...... in a carriage"

Lu Chuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Were you killed by the people of Chu?"

Chu Liusheng shook his head and thought about it for a long time: "It seems to be ...... No way...... I can't tell which one is from Chu......"

"That's it. Lu Chuan said, "What the emperor Lao'er did, what qualifications do ordinary people like you and me have to mix blindly." Don't you want to find out your background now? As long as you listen to me, go to the selection and meet the master, won't everything be solved?"

Chu Liusheng listened to his words, nodded as if he didn't understand, picked up the ancient sword on his back, and thought of something in a trance, and said to Lu Chuan: "That old man, when I fainted on the way to Qin State, I saw that girl, and then I dreamed of ......."

"What did you dream about?" Lu Chuan spat disdainfully and said, "Have you dreamed of spring?" The boss is not small, he can't help it when he sees the girl, and he will ...... when he sees his wife."

"Madam?" Chu Liusheng's eyes widened, he looked at Lu Chuan incredulously, and asked in surprise.

"I mean, you get dizzy when you see a girl, what should you do if you ask your wife for a wife in the future?" Lu Chuan turned his head and said, "But what do you want like you, which girl will marry you?"

"No, no, no. Chu Liusheng's head shook like a rattle, and said, "When I see that girl, I always feel very familiar...... It's like...... She's the person I saw in my dreams...... She called me Your Highness, and I don't think the other girls had that idea. ”

Lu Chuan was stunned and stopped.

He turned around and faced Chu Liusheng, who was full of doubts, and kicked under him.

"Ah, what are you doing!" Chu Liusheng was kicked by him and caused a sharp pain in his body, and hurriedly covered it with his hand and asked.

Lu Chuan glanced at it contemptuously and said, "The old man told you, you have grown up, do you understand Sichun? See that you are usually honest and still want to play this set? When you finish the selection and have the money to get, the old man will take you to the Qinglou to play tricks, and when the time comes, don't let the girl call you Your Royal Highness, call you the emperor." ”

Chu Liusheng pursed his mouth in pain, gritted his teeth and cursed.
