Chapter 57 Buying Slaves

Qi Yue didn't give up and continued to persuade: "What if someone captures me and threatens you to work for him?"

Lin Xu narrowed his eyes, and a murderous look appeared in his eyes.

"I'm not going to give those people that chance."

Qi Yue seized the loophole: "That means this is also possible, so you can't guarantee my safety 100%."

Lin Xu was silent. In fact, what was more important was that if he was let go, he probably wouldn't even be able to get a seat.

After all, Qi Yue has more than one man, and he can be said to be half-forcing her.

Seeing that he didn't refuse decisively, I knew he was hesitating.

Qi Yue quickly put more strength, put her arms around his neck and gave him a sweet kiss.

"A Xu, promise me that you will send me back. From now on, you can choose a courtyard in the princess's mansion to live in. We can live together day and night like an ordinary couple."

"The Princess Mansion is my home, and it will be your home from now on. You don't have to worry about my safety all the time. I don't want you to worry."

No one knew which words or actions touched him, but Lin Xu was bewitched by her and agreed.

"Okay, I promise..."

But he paused again and continued: "However, I want to take you back to Li to pay homage to my parents."

Seeing that he agreed, Qi Yue's tense nerves finally relaxed.

Qi Yue: "Okay."

Lin Xu blushed and said, "Kiss me again..."

Qi Yue: ???

Before she could react, her waist tightened and his kiss fell again...

Qi Yue’s inner thoughts: How come this person is even more clingy than in the original book?

After leaving Kyoto, Linxu asked the driver to change from the official road to the small road.

After passing two counties, we changed to the water route.

Lin Xu even put a human skin mask on her, and the two of them dressed up as an ordinary couple.

The detour by water would pass through the Holy Kingdom, a vassal state of the Li Kingdom. The journey would naturally be longer, but it would be safer.

Yi Bai and Anyue traveled day and night, and two of their horses died. It took them three days to catch up with the grain-escorting team.

When Gu Qingyu received the news, he felt like the sky was falling.

If he were to catch this damn assassin, he would grind him to dust!

Because Shao Siyan did not know martial arts and was an imperial physician who was powerless, the grain escort team was temporarily handed over to him.

It was four days later when Gu Qingyu, Yi Bai and the others arrived at Beiwang City, which was the closest to Li State. This was only possible because they traveled day and night without stopping.

The county magistrate of Beiwang City followed Gu Qingyu's order and secretly blocked and strictly checked the city. After searching for two or three days, nothing was found.

Yi Bai could only cast the hexagram again, and finally figured out that Qi Yue was in the small holy country closest to the State of Li.

After the two discussed it, Yi Bai finally decided to go to Suyang City, the closest city to the Small Holy Kingdom in Li State, to wait and see.

Gu Qingyu continued to stay in Beiwang City to deal with the drought.

The drought came much faster than expected. Beiwang City and dozens of nearby cities have not seen a drop of rain for more than half a month.

Later, people discovered that rats often came out of their holes, and the chickens, ducks and other livestock in the house were not very well behaved.

Only then did I realize that the water levels in the nearby rivers and wells had dropped significantly.

Faced with national affairs, Gu Qingyu changed his previous nonchalant attitude, put his personal affairs aside for the time being, and began to make many preparations for the drought with the magistrates of nearby counties.

Yi Bai sent An Yue and others to the Small Holy Country to inquire about the situation. After disguising himself, he went to the Li Country alone...

After Lin Xu brought Qi Yue to the Small Holy Kingdom, he did not rush to continue his journey. Instead, he stopped and took her around to play.

There is a famous Colosseum in the Little Holy Kingdom, and the people inside love to watch slaves fighting against wild beasts.

Qi Yue hated people who didn't respect life, but now she was in a foreign country with no power or influence, so she could only take care of herself first.

Lin Xu saw that her face was not very good, and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Don't you like watching these?"

Qi Yue nodded, but then thought of a character in the original book - the wolf slave, whom the original heroine rescued in the Colosseum.

Now the plot has moved forward a lot, so Wolf Slave’s sister should not be dead yet.

She wanted to snatch away all the men and helpers of the original heroine, leaving no one for Lian Mengyi.

"Axu, I want two slaves."

Lin Xu was a little surprised. He took her hand and asked, "What kind do you want?"

Qi Yue: "It would be best if they are as good as you. If not, then you can help me train them so that when you are not around, they can protect me for you."

Lin Xu smiled, rubbed her head, and replied lovingly: "Okay, I'll take you to choose."

The two found the fat steward of the Colosseum. After Lin Xu took out the token, the fat steward, who had been arrogant, immediately became respectful.

He brought the two of them to the room where the beast slaves were held. As soon as he opened the door, the smell in the room was particularly strong.

Qi Yue frowned and covered his nose with his sleeve. The light in the room was dim.

The room was almost full of teenagers, about thirty or forty of them, both men and women. Everyone was wearing tattered clothes and looked very dirty.

Seeing the door open, everyone's face was suddenly filled with fear, and without exception they lowered their heads and huddled in the corner.

The fat steward knocked on the wall with a stick, and said with disgust in his tone: "Wake up, everyone. You are lucky today. A nobleman wants to buy two of you to be slaves."

"Wipe your faces and lift them up so I can have a closer look!"

As soon as these words came out, many children in the room looked up at Qi Yue, their eyes full of hope.

Only a few children who had stayed here for a long time did not move. Those few were basically very sick or had missing limbs.

A noble person would never waste money to buy people like them back. There is no hope and they can't leave at all.

Qi Yue endured the stench and walked forward to take a closer look. Lin Xu had been following her, fearing that some blind beast slave would hurt her.

Although these children were in a miserable state, she was not a saint and it was impossible for her to save all of them because she did not understand these people at all and did not know their personalities.

If there is an ungrateful person, buying him and raising him would only bring disaster to yourself.

She glanced at all the children who looked up, and then walked towards the children who didn't look up.

Hearing the footsteps stop in front of them, some of the children looked up in disbelief.

Qi Yue was a little stunned when she saw the child looking up at her.

The child was very thin and looked like he was only thirteen or fourteen years old. Although his face was dirty, his features were pretty.

He was blind in one eye, but the other eye was extremely clean and pure, a bit like the feeling of meeting Murong Heli for the first time, but Murong Heli's purity was pretended.

Qi Yue paused for just a moment and then walked behind him.
