It's late at night, but it's the busiest time for Shangluo Town.

This is a small village and town, located on the border south of Xiping County, and an official road is only a few zhang wide through the north and south of the town, winding into the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Regardless of the three-point zone like this, it is estimated that no one usually botheres to care about it.

But it's a sin trading place.

To say that it is "sinful" is actually very easy to explain: in ordinary trading places, most of the goods are all kinds of rare and exotic treasures, but here it is the human slaves who are traded.

From time to time, teams of horses patrolled back and forth with knives, and one after another richly decorated carriages quietly passed through the official road, and slowly drove into the village under the leadership of the usher in black clothes.

Groups of slaves, chained and chained, were led like cattle to the brightly lit village square, where they were bought by wealthy agents. Wielding leather whips, the guards herded the slaves who had already made the deal into the dark wagons and drove them into the uncharted depths of the night.

The bulk of the human slave trade is generally in the village square, and those who really have a bit of status, or want to have some special "goods", have to go to the "black street" honestly.

Turn left from the official road and follow the fork into the town, a stone road that can accommodate two four-wheeled carriages in parallel, which is commonly known as "Black Street".

The "Black Street" is not a dark place, but is illuminated by countless lanterns and torches. The street is even more lively, with the sound of noisy silk and bamboo, and the roadside is full of dazzling goods, and the vendors are shouting hard. A few small doors with red lanterns are obscured, and through the half-open doors, you can see the gauzy, greased and powdered women inside—the leather and meat business can always take root and blossom in any era and place.

Different from the transaction of seeing goods and giving money in the square, there are more "white sheets" posted on the door of the shop on the black street.

"Good ** three, negotiable. ”

"A man of different species, male, with two heads and four hands, nine years old, is worth two hundred taels of silver, which can be negotiated. ”

"Huaiyuan has a number of Hulu, and some of them have built foundations and repairs, which can be gambled. ”

In fact, the word "gambling" posted at the door of this house attracted many businessmen or agents to stop, and from time to time acquaintances got together and whispered.

"Master, what does this 'gambling' mean, do you want us to gamble with them?" Cheng Jun pointed to the white slip and asked Xiao Qianli in a low voice.

Before Xiao Qianli could speak, Zi Mo on the side replied softly: "You don't know, Tu Jinda, a famous general of the Zhenbei Army, captured the Hu people's garrison last year and plundered countless people. This firm must have brought a batch of strong people, and they were too lazy to select them carefully, so they simply took them out and traded them. This 'gambling' means that buyers can choose with their eyesight, and if they pick one with a little cultivation potential, they will not lose, and if they can gamble on a superb ......"

Xiao Qianli's face was gloomy, and he said slowly: "If you can gamble on a slave with good cultivation and take it to watch the family nursing home, or use it for dark gambling and fighting, wouldn't it be a lot of money?"

Zi Mo smiled, and the implication was that he acquiesced.

In order to hide people's eyes, today Zi Mo is wearing an extremely simple Tsing Yi Luo skirt, her head full of pearls and jade has been cleaned, with a black gauze hat, and two long swords crossed and inserted behind her back, even a little more low-key than Lu Wuyi who changed into civilian clothes.

Lu Wuyi had been observing the surrounding situation, and said coldly: "Senior brother, I want to burn this place on fire." ”

"Is it burned out?" Zi Mo suddenly said without a head.

Lu Wunu looked at her suspiciously, but she replied leisurely: "The slave trade has existed for thousands of years, and there must be a large number of prisoners of war where there is war, the displacement of refugees after the destruction of the city, and the famine caused by natural and man-made disasters...... Is it a fire that burns out?

Lu Wuyi was silent, but Xiao Qianli looked at Zi Mo thoughtfully.

Even in the world he was in, he couldn't completely solve this problem, let alone in this time and space? It's just that this woman's understanding of the root causes of the slave trade made Xiao Qianli a little impressed.

"Uncle, it's still early, do you want to find a few girls to play with first?" A rickety old woman walked over tremblingly, pulling and pulling on Xiao Qianli like a flattering person.

Xiao Qianli noticed that the old woman was tugging at her sleeve while making an unnoticeable gesture to Zi Mo, and Zi Mo also nodded slightly.

"Let's go!"

The five of them came to a dark three-entry courtyard, passed through the front hall, and came to a small room inside, where the old woman lit an oil lamp and put it on the table, and then bowed and said, "Miss Sheng!"

"How's the situation?" Zi Mo asked.

"Back to the girl, the guards of the Cloud Pavilion are extremely strict, and the slave and maid sneak in and take a look, there are at least four good guards above the high level of Huaqi. In addition, the great offering of Yunxiao Pavilion has been left here, and he has not left the door for half a step. ”

"Hmph! That old immortal really attaches importance to this deal, and with his lustful nature, he can actually hold it!"

What the girl said was that the slave tried to get the green beads and the red beads close, but they were all driven out. ”

Zi Mo nodded and ordered, "You go out!"

The old woman agreed, retreated and bowed out the door, obviously respecting this Zimo girl to the extreme. As soon as he exited the door, he immediately bent down again, and resumed his trembling appearance.

Zimo invited the three of them to sit down, and then said with a smile: "I hope to ask the master to forgive the crime of concealment, my real surname is Sheng, and Sheng Zimo is my original name." ”

"It's okay!" Xiao Qianli said lightly, "Who are you going to rob? What are your plans? Is it to sneak in, or to rob by force, or is there some other arrangement?"

Sheng Zimo sighed and said, "What I want to save is my own sister Yu Xianrou." She doesn't know martial arts, she grew up in the Tianxiang General Pavilion, but disappeared unexpectedly last year. Tianxiang Pavilion pursued all the way, and the clues pointed to the northwest counties, so I asked Ying to come here, and I didn't find the detailed whereabouts until some time ago. ”

Cheng Jun asked innocently: "Your surname is Sheng, why is your sister......'s surname Yu?"

He didn't finish a word, and he was already glared back by Lu Wunu.

Sheng Zimo smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "That's another past incident involved...... Please forgive Zimo for not wanting to mention it. ”

She paused for a moment, and then said: "No matter who it is, as long as it is bought by Delicate, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take it back, so I can only snatch it in advance." I've inquired carefully, usually Slender will be heavily guarded, looting is more powerful than the sky, the auction site Delicate will be taken to the hall to see the goods, and then will be taken into the back hall to guard, waiting for the auction to be delivered, our only chance is the short half hour in between. If you miss this opportunity, Delicate will be completely hopeless. ”

The more Lu Wuyi listened, the more strange he became, and asked, "Why? Is there anything special about your sister? Why is she so valued?"

Sheng Zimo replied lightly: "If you are born with the vein of heaven, there are countless elixirs to nourish your body every day, and you eat a holy fire seven-star lotus every other season, I believe you will definitely be fought over by many people." ”

"Heavenly Absolute Vein?" Xiao Qianli frowned and nodded, "It means that one of the eight veins of the Qi Jing is congenitally severed, and ordinary people will inevitably die." But if you can survive by luck, that vein has not been polluted by the day after tomorrow, it is the innate Dao body, and it is best if it is used to make a Ding furnace. ”

Lu Wuxian suddenly said: "I see, it's a little similar to me, but I'm just three yin veins slippery, but not so that the meridians are broken." ”

Sheng Zimo's expression moved, his eyes showed a strange light, and he looked at Lu Wuyi. After looking at it for a long time, he retracted his gaze and sighed: "Delicate and intelligent, and has the ability to never forget." Usually she watched the eldest sisters practice in the main pavilion, but she inadvertently learned them all......"

"So, if it's really a master of your faction who comes to rob someone, once something doesn't work out, he won't hesitate to kill him on the spot?"

Facing Xiao Qianli's heart-wrenching eyes, Sheng Zimo lowered his eyelids, and only nodded after a while: "Because of this, Zimo took the risk of violating the rules of Tianxiang Pavilion, and took the liberty of asking the master to take action!"

Xiao Qianli's expression was calm, he thought for a while, and nodded: "So it makes sense, presumably the master of your sect was not blocked in Sichuan, but was delayed by all you to delay and delay the time to come to Xiping County." ”

"Yes!" Sheng Zimo said frankly, "Originally, Zimo had nothing to do, if it really came to this point, he could only let the master of the General Pavilion kill him." It's just that Xiao Zhangjiao happened to appear, and that night Zimo sent a message to a carrier pigeon, which was postponed by a day. ”

Xiao Qianli was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "In this game, the bet you made is really not small. ”

"No matter how big the bet is, you have to give it a go!" Sheng Zimo smiled sadly, "Zimo can't lose now, so he simply gambles his own net worth and his life together." Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on the will of God. ”

Xiao Qianli nodded and asked, "What kind of big offering is that, and how is it cultivated?"

"Unfathomable!"

At the mention of the great offering of Yunxiao Pavilion, Zi Mo's face suddenly appeared with a layer of jealousy, and he shook his head and said: "This person is over 100 years old but still has a childish face, and his nature is extremely lustful. ”

"Judging from the information of Tianxiang Pavilion, this person's name is Wu Daochen, and he also claims to be the True Monarch of Bliss, and he has rarely made a move in the past twenty years. The last time he made a move, he was with the martial arts master Gu Feikong, and he was killed in fifty moves. Gu Feikong had already entered the innate at that time, and he was about the middle stage of the god transformation realm. ”

"Mid-stage of transforming into a god!" In just four words, Lu Wuli couldn't help but gasp, but Xiao Qianli's face was as indifferent as ever.

Seeing Xiao Qian's unchanged appearance, Zi Mo quietly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know that Xiao Qian was worried.

"Twenty years ago, he was able to kill an opponent in the middle stage of the Transformation God in dozens of moves, how strong should this old monster be now?"

"Can my Zhenshanhe maintain an undefeated situation in his hands?"

"Even if there are thousands of catastrophes in Zhenshan River, how can I defeat this old monster?"

He thought about it again and again, and suddenly asked, "How much longer?"

Zi Mo understood, and then replied: "There is still half an hour, and the auction conference will officially begin." ”

"Okay!" Xiao Qianli said, "Is there a topographic map of the Cloud Pavilion?"
