Chapter 3: The Killer

Including Xiong, there were a total of ten Kunlun clans who were caught.

The rest, all dead.

As for Lan, Xing may have died too, and no one has ever seen her again.

The Slave Hunter Alliance put each of the ten men in the slave market at a high price.

The price tag of the bear is 1,000 taels of silver.

And the price of the other nine Kunlun slaves was one hundred taels of silver.

In the slave market, people came and went, and hundreds of tethered slaves were marked at different prices by fixed rows of wooden stakes.

From time to time, men dressed in gold and silver would enter the slave market, and after some selection, unknown slaves would be taken away.

"Yo, isn't this the king's housekeeper of the palace, what breed of slave are you going to pick this time?"

When a middle-aged man with hairy cheeks walked into the slave market, several people from the slave market approached him, nodding and greeting him.

"Are there any high-quality slaves with rough skin and thick flesh, our master asked me to pick a few, last time they were too careless, and several died. Steward Wang said flatly, as if it were not a human being who died, but an animal.

In fact, in this era, the lives of slaves are not worth anything at all, and the slaves of rare races are fine, and ordinary slaves can be bought for as little as ten taels of silver. For these slaves, when they die, they die, and no one cares about them. The corpses may be thrown directly into the wilderness, or they may be buried by a good owner.

For those rich, ten taels is not much money. As soon as they made a move, it was a silver ticket of a thousand taels.

"We have a lot of high-quality slaves, but the price~" The slave traders in the slave market rubbed their hands together, their eyes rolling slightly.

"The money will not be less for you, take me to see the goods. "Steward Wang had little patience and continued to ramble with the slave traders.

"Okay, please come here~" The slave dealer brought Steward Wang to Xiong with a smile on his face, and began to introduce endlessly, "This is the Kunlun slave we just entered, an absolute first-class slave, it really took a lot of effort when we caught him"

Steward Wang waved his hand and motioned for the slave traders to stop talking.

Steward Wang walked around the stake where the bear was tethered: "I want this slave." ”

Next, Steward Wang picked twelve more slaves of other breeds.

"Two thousand two hundred and fifty taels in all. The slave trader put his hands in front of him and looked at the steward with a flattering look.

Steward Wang took out two silver tickets of one thousand taels and three silver tickets of one hundred taels and handed them to the slave traders, and said magnificently, "No need to look for it, help me deliver the goods to the house, I will go back to the house first." ”

The slave trader grinned and replied, "Okay, don't worry, I'll send someone to deliver the goods to your house in a while." You walk slowly. ”

After receiving a tip of fifty taels from the king's housekeeper, the slave traders were naturally very attentive and numbered the thirteen slaves.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, bear, eight.

Half an hour later, the first to the thirteenth were tied into a line by the slave traders with ropes, led by the slave traders, sent to the palace, and taken to the back mountain.

During the day, they were trained by the housekeeper to train their servility, and at night, they were locked up in a foul-smelling little dark room.

Coincidentally, there are still three days, which is the day of Wang Yuanwai's birthday.

In the past few days, the palace has been busy preparing to celebrate the birthday of the king, and there are lights everywhere.

At the same time, in order to show off his high-class slaves on his birthday, Wang Yuanwai also arranged for the people below to hurry up and train those who had just bought back. When they develop a servile nature, they will no longer resist, but will slowly adapt to the current life and the current state.

There are a lot of slaves who, when they are first bought, may still resist and struggle.

However, when the whip came over and was branded on their bodies, they understood that there was no point in resisting.

Not only is it meaningless, but it will also bring more pain to yourself.

So, gradually, they learned to obey, the so-called servility, and no longer had the idea of running away and struggling, even if they really had the opportunity to run.

Three days later, it finally ushered in Wang Yuanwai's birthday, and the mermaids who came to celebrate his birthday came in one after another.

Wang Yuanwai stood at the gate of the palace, greeting visitors from all over the world with a smile, while arranging for the people below to carry the congratulatory gifts to the house.

The work of moving things will not be done by the king, and the king's steward will not be done, so it is naturally done by the purchased slaves.

In order to come in handy on the day of Wang Yuanwai's birthday, No. 1 to No. 13 have been arranged to change into clean clothes in advance, but they are still handcuffed under their feet to prevent them from escaping.

According to local customs, Wang Yuanwai must first light a firecracker at the door before the banquet can officially begin.

When the crackling sound sounded, the visitors applauded.

However, just after the cannon was over, a bell rang out from the smoke from the firecrackers.

A man in white walked out slowly.

He walked into everyone's eyes, and also into the eyes of Wang Yuanwai, the head of the royal family.

Wang Yuanwai's pupils suddenly contracted.

For he saw that the man was holding in his hand, and it was not a congratulatory gift.

It's a sword.

A sword with the tip dripping blood.

As a killer, Xiaoyaozi is indeed not a qualified killer.

Not only because Xiaoyaozi, who is nearly forty years old, has a handsome and elegant face, but also because he is a traitor.

A traitor who betrayed the killer group.

Have you ever heard of the fate of a killer who betrays a group of hitmen?

You must have heard of it, because you may not have seen a real person, but you must have seen a lot of similar stories.

None of them ended well.

Except for Xiaoyaozi.

Strictly speaking, Xiaoyaozi actually didn't end well.

Because in the list of killers, the killer Xiaoyaozi, who was once ranked tenth, belongs to the most mysterious killer group "Dark River".

And in the dark river, Xiaoyaozi is ranked first.

In the archives of the dark river, it is easy to find a public record of Xiaoyaozi's fate when he made a mistake in assassinating the head of the Wudang faction, escaped with injuries, and encountered a vendetta on the way in the inn of the Chu State, and was seriously injured after the fire, and was finally burned to death in the inn by the sulfur bombs of the Vulcan faction.

And now, the dead Xiaoyaozi has appeared in front of Wang Yuanwai's eyes.

He also carried a sword in a dashing manner.

It's just that no one would have thought that this young and dashing son was actually the killer Xiaoyaozi who had been "dead" for five years.

Of course, what is even more unexpected is that this young man who looks young, golden, chic and a little shy is almost forty years old.

Hehe, Xiaoyaozi suddenly laughed.

Then he drew his sword.
