This group of people gathered together, looking and eating, like beggars on the side of the road, but in fact, not long ago, not only did they not know each other, but even their identities, statuses, and occupations were completely different.

Among them, some were merchants, some were farmers, some were workshop owners, and some were even gentry who occupied fertile and fertile fields.

Slave.

However, the thirty-year-old man named "Ran Lian", unlike others, was not captured by the grassland tribe when they went south, he was originally a border soldier, he was injured and coma during the battle with the Hu people, and when he woke up again, he was branded as a slave, and his hands and feet were also tied, becoming the lowest slave in the grassland tribe.

Slaves, in the eyes of slave owners, are impersonal, no different from goods and livestock, but of course the people of the Central Plains who are agrarian and civilized will not think so, in the face of such a situation, they are difficult to accept, whether it is out of human dignity, or a greater and broader spirit, resistance is inevitable.

For the rebellion of slaves, the grassland people have rich experience and sufficient methods to suppress and wear down the humanity and resistance of slaves, and slowly tame and domesticate.

In this situation, some people with extraordinary qualifications will stand out from the crowd and become the leaders of the slaves.

This kind of person, if found by the slave owner, there are generally only two ways waiting for them, one way is to be co-opted, assist the slave owner to manage the slave, obtain a certain degree of status promotion, and if you are lucky, you can even get a certain authority and right to speak like Naheluo, but after all, they are spurned, the Central Plains will not be destroyed, and the stigma will always exist, so this kind of person is often keen to exterminate the Central Plains Dynasty.

This is another way. is to be caught out of the gang and kill chickens and monkeys.

Ran Lian is such a character, because of his physique, courage, and prestige, he was not caught for a long time, and before he was faced with the choice of path, his fate was changed by an accident.

This accident was Qiu Yan's arrival.

Qiu Yan was originally a monk, and he was destined to cultivate the third realm and the fourth realm of sexual cultivation, and he could also be regarded as a figure in the cultivation world. The reason why we can have such achievements in just a few years is that we rely on the cooperation of the three bodies, and we have no opportunities for others, which is difficult to compare.

However, even so, there are still many obstacles to fighting a tribe on your own, the first of which is to kill people with supernatural powers. The entanglement of cause and effect has a huge impact on one's own qi luck, and secondly, the supernatural power will be controlled by qi and blood pressure. If you don't notice, you may miss your hooves.

Therefore, when facing an entire tribe, Qiu Yan can't really be invincible at the moment. There are many restraining factors, and they can't be forced, let alone defeat a tribe.

But that doesn't stop him from causing chaos. And use a little means to free the captured slaves.

Right now, two days have passed since Qiu Yan left Dingchang City.

Two days is enough time for a lot to happen.

On the Da Rui side, the news of the triumph of the Dingchang army reached the imperial court, the emperor fainted, there were many waves, and the grassland was not peaceful, and the news of the destruction of the Zuoxian Wang Department also spread, causing panic in the people.

These tribes close to the border of Da Rui are even more frightened, a large part of them are subordinated to Rouluo, for the entire strategic service of King Zuo Xian, migrated here, of course, they themselves are also greedy for the wealth of the Central Plains, and want to be under the protection of King Zuo Xian, group looting, and strengthen themselves, now that King Xian's troops are destroyed, they have no confidence, any little change, will cause riots, and they are already all soldiers.

Qiu Yan's arrival facilitated this chaos, so he set up a suspicious formation, opened the situation, and freed the slaves by the trend, and then did not love the war and quickly retreated.

Some of the freed slaves had left in the middle of the way, and now only half of them, about six or seven hundred, were gathered at the foot of the mound.

These people are Qiu Yan's harvest in the past two days, and they are also the foundation for his future planning.

Among them, there were still a few people with a little prestige like Ran Lian, so they were divided into several groups, and each group ranged from dozens to hundreds.

However, without exception, in this group of people, most of the leaders with prestige are young and middle-aged, and they are all in the prime of life, but the kind of gentry with high prestige has little influence - in the steppe tribes, the land, fame, and power on which the gentry and lords rely are useless.

It's just that now that everyone has been rescued by Qiu Yan and left a desperate situation, and there is hope of returning to Da Rui, the capital of the gentry will be re-revealed, and they will return from barbarism to the civilized world, and the things they consider will be different.

There was naturally a smell in the crowd that they were about to seize power - the gentry understood that although they had left the tribe and were no longer slaves, they had not really escaped, and if they were alone, it was unlikely that they would return to the Central Plains safely, so they also needed some guards and cannon fodder.

At the same time, they also realized that there were too many people gathered, and they seemed to be powerful, but they were also easy to become the target of the Hu people.

"That man claims to be a reviser, but as far as the old man knows, the post of reviser is mostly in the Shuge, which is dedicated to the capital, how can he come to the frontier? I'm afraid there is still a problem inside, I am saying that his kind of methods are clearly the leftists of military generals and monks, and they are not like civilian ......officials."

Not far from Ran Lian, there was an old man talking to the others.

He also knows this person, Zhilu Dao is an elder of a village in Hebei Province, named Cui Ping, and has a distant relative of the Cui clan of the Wang clan.

When Ran Lian was arrested, this person still had the demeanor of an elder, which was very helpful, but after he was free, he gradually revealed that he wanted to seize the command, and he was no longer close to Ran Lian, but was a little guarded, and used words to damage Ran Lian's prestige several times.

"That old man is getting more and more active these days, Brother Lian, you have to be careful, I know very well his purpose, that is, he wants to deceive a few people, go to him as a guard, let him return to the Central Plains, you can't suffer, let him snatch your subordinates away!"

Beside Ran Lian, a young man who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old sneered, and Xiao Sheng reminded.

The young man's face was full of rebelliousness, his upper body was naked, and his body was full of whip marks, and he didn't know how many whips he had been whipped, and the scars were deep and difficult to eradicate.

The young man's name is Shi Jin, and he is also a slave, but unlike Ran Lian and others, he is a mixed race, his mother is from the Central Plains, and he is also a slave who was captured, but his father is a grassland person, he has been discriminated against since birth, and he doesn't know what kind of situation he has experienced.

In fact, of the more than 600 people gathered at the foot of this mound, at least nearly 100 were steppe people, who had been defeated in the tribal war and reduced to slavery.

After Qiu Yan freed the slaves, he allowed those who did not want to follow him to leave, and he did not persecute these grassland people, but most of them did not leave, but said that they would follow Qiu Yan, so they followed all the way here.

However, Shi Jin was not one of them, the reason why he accompanied was because he admired Ran Lian's relationship.

"Let this old man make trouble," Ran Lian didn't speak, another man laughed, this person had a sallow face, a skinny appearance, but a pair of eyes were bright and bright, looking at Cui Ping, "He didn't have to be around for long, what he did was also in vain, maybe he would cause trouble, he hadn't seen the purpose of the cultivation yet." ”

This person is called Fu Yong, he was originally a merchant who walked the frontier, often resold the prohibition, bought low and sold high, and earned the difference, but often walked by the river, how could he not wet his shoes, and was finally discovered by the border officers and soldiers, and after a pursuit, he had to flee into the grassland, and wanted to rely on the former merchant to find a tribe to take refuge, but he had no use value, or was thrown into slavery.

At this moment, he suddenly woke up and saw the nature of the grassland tribe clearly, and it was useless to know that Lu Dao used the logic of the Central Plains to consider the other party's behavior. This time I was unexpectedly free, and after listening to Qiu Yan's self-declaration of identity, I immediately turned my brain, had an idea, and wanted to seize the opportunity to get rid of the previous troubles and make a fortune again.

Shi Jin glanced at him: "Lao Fu, when you say this, do you see the thoughts of the Central Plains official?"

Fu Yong smiled and asked rhetorically, "Do you remember what Qiu Xiushu said after he rescued us?"

"What's so difficult about this?" Shi Jin raised his eyebrows, bit the meat in his hand fiercely, and swallowed before saying, "Isn't it just to save our lives, and then coerce Entu to repay it?" What are you saying that Hu people are brutal, and they want to arouse your resistance and use them, it seems that they want to kill some people, but this has nothing to do with me, according to your statement, I am also Hu Di!"

Fu Yong shook his head and said: "This is not a coercion of kindness, he saved us, so that we are not enslaved, this is grace, we repay the favor is the right way, once gone, it is unrighteous and unjust, to damage the yin virtue, we have a Zigong ransom allusion in the Central Plains, you probably haven't heard of it, but you should also be able to understand that human nature is evil, most of the things done are for their own interests, if there is no benefit at all to saving people, over time, naturally no one will do it, so this favor is not intended to be repaid, it is not a good thing." ”

"Hey! That's kind of interesting. However, he saved us and didn't let us be slaves, and we should indeed be rewarded, in my opinion, being a slave is worse than death, but I still have a lot to do, and I don't want to die now, since that's the case, let's look at the repayment. Shi Jin nodded, revealing a little evil smile, "However, according to what you said, aren't those who were rescued and left by him all ungrateful? ”

"After that group of people leaves, they will fall into danger, the grassland is not a safe place, whether they go north or south, they must be frightened step by step, and they may not be able to go back as they wish, otherwise, why do you think that group of old goods will not leave? But since they are not willing to repay the favor, they naturally have to take risks, and they can't complain about others, and then ......."

Before he could finish his words, a voice came from behind-

"You have some knowledge, you should be the person that Gongzi needs, follow me up the mountain to see Gongzi." ”

Fu Yong was startled, and hurriedly followed the sound to look, and the target was Qiu An. (To be continued......)
