The pedestrian who was stopped by the boss for questioning walked forward, entered the crowd, and soon disappeared.
"What's so special about this slave market?" the boss asked Xiao Wei.
Xiao Wei shook his head. Slaves are just people who do work. What’s so special about them?
Everyone looked at the little guard with a grin, it turned out that this little guard also had things he didn't know.
"Xiao Gu?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang also shook his head. He only knew that there was a Changshan in Zhuque, and he knew nothing else.
Yu Xiaoxiao asked Tianxing again: "Master, do you know?"
Tian Xing was finally able to hold his head high at this time. He looked at Gu Xinglang and said, "You generals only know how to defend the land every day, but you don't know how to expand the border. You don't even know Changnu City?"
Gu Xinglang shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
Yu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at the old Taoist priest and said, "That's enough. It's good enough that Xiao Gu and the others can protect our Fengtian country."
"Princess," the eldest boss said with an embarrassed face, "Isn't it bad for us to say that?"
Yu Xiao: "I am speaking the truth, Xiongxiong, we should be honest."
The boss shut up. If the princess is not afraid of the cold, then what should he, a commoner, be afraid of?
Gu Xinglang asked Tianxing: "Master, what is so special about Changnu City?"
Tianxing said, "This is the market where the Suzaku Kingdom sells criminal slaves and barbarian slaves. It opens at the end of the year and closes seven days later."
Yu Xiao: "Are barbarian slaves orcs?"
Taoist priest..., what are orcs?
Gu Xinglang coughed dryly, pulled Yu Xiaoxiao's hand, and whispered, "Suzaku calls the people of Miaodi barbarians. I heard that these people are uncivilized and are savages."
Yu Xiaoxiao..., what kind of place is Miaodi?
"Let's go and have a look," Tianxing said, "If we're lucky, we can buy a barbarian who knows medicine, and this deal will be worth it."
"Oh my god," Yu Xiao said, "A man who knows medicine is still a barbarian? Then what should we call a man who doesn't know medicine? A monkey?"
Friends who don't know how to treat...
Nanny Wang was sitting in the carriage and said, "Are slaves who have committed crimes being dragged out to be sold again? Who would dare to buy such slaves?"
When talking to Nanny Wang, Tian Xing unconsciously put on a flattering expression and said, "This criminal slave is not a slave who committed a crime, but an official who committed a crime and was demoted to a slave."
Nanny Wang snorted coldly and said, "An official who has committed a crime? Shouldn't we buy such a criminal slave? What if he ruins the family tradition of the master's family?"
Tianxing shrank his neck again because of what Nanny Wang said.
Yu Xiaoxiao shook her head and whispered to Gu Xinglang, "You said that Nanny is always so cold and aloof, where can I go to find her a second spring?"
Gu Xinglang rubbed his face, rubbed his twitching face back to normal, and said: "Let's go and take a look."
"Okay," Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the hotels on both sides of the street and casually responded to Gu Xinglang.
The group followed the crowd and walked across two streets. They saw a number of tall stone platforms in the open space ahead. Not only were there many men and women with their arms tied behind their backs kneeling on the platforms, but even the space between the stone platforms was filled with slaves kneeling there to be sold.
"Such a grand scene?" The second in command exclaimed to his brothers.
Nanny Wang got off the carriage and, as she stood there, she swept her eyes over those good-looking female slaves. None of them could be bought!
Yu Xiaoxiao got off the horse and said to Nanny Wang, "Nanny, if you think that man is good, just buy him."
Nanny Wang looked at her princess in silence. Why did she want to buy a man?
When Yu Xiaoxiao saw that Aunt Pang looked unhappy, she ran away.
Gu Xinglang looked at Nanny Wang, had nothing to say, and ran after his wife.
Yu Xiaoxiao regretted entering the slave market. She was taught that all men are created equal, but the slaves in the slave market were half-naked, most of them had wounds on their bodies, and were tied up with ropes and forced to kneel on the ground. Their fellow slaves were sold like livestock. Yu Xiaoxiao could not accept this and had an urge to lead these people in a revolution.
Gu Xinglang stood by Yu Xiaoxiao's side and whispered, "If you don't like it, let's go."
"Come and see!" Before Yu Xiaoxiao could say anything, another human trafficker's voice came from not far away from them, "These are all this year's criminal slaves. The women are pretty and the men are strong. They are a bit expensive, but think about the former identities of these slaves. Isn't this price very cheap?"
The crowd rushed towards the stone platform where the shouting came from.
Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang were pushed by the crowd and walked to the largest stone platform in the slave market.
"I will take off this slave's clothes and show them to you, gentlemen," the voice of the human trafficker came from the stone platform.
A burst of laughter and cheers then came from the stone platform.
"Let me go!" a woman screamed.
"Don't you understand your current identity yet?" The sound of whips hitting people and the scolding of human traffickers came from the stone platform.
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't hear the woman's voice just now, but instead heard a man's muffled groan.
"Do we want to go up?" Gu Xinglang asked Yu Xiaoxiao. Young Master Gu was in a bad mood at the moment. Their Gu family had also been convicted. If he thought about it, if the entire Gu family was forced to kneel here and the whole family was sold as slaves, Gu Xinglang couldn't bear the thought.
"Brother!" The girl screamed again.
"Take off her clothes and show them to us," someone shouted, "Such a high price, you said she was born a daughter, right? What if she is a maid pretending to be one?"
The noise started again, and from the sound one could tell that the atmosphere on the stone platform was even more lively than before.
Yu Xiaoxiao touched the ground with her toes and jumped onto the stone platform.
“Hurry up, Prince Consort,” the eldest boss shouted to Gu Xinglang when he saw Yu Xiaoxiao’s posture, “I think the princess is going to fight!”
Before Gu Xinglang made any move, Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei both jumped onto the stone platform. The stone platform was about meters high, and Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei could not jump onto the stone platform like Yu Xiaoxiao. When they were exhausted halfway, they had to use their feet to tap the stone wall for strength.
Gu Xinglang looked at the height of the stone platform. A general on horseback is always a little bit lacking in lightness skills, so Young Gu could only lead the boss and a group of people to squeeze onto the stone platform.
People were not surprised by what Yu Xiaoxiao, Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei did. There were many people from the martial arts world coming to Changnu City every year, and most of them liked to climb walls and walk on rooftops, which was not an ordinary thing.
When Yu Xiaoxiao reached the stone platform, she saw a young man protecting a young woman. The woman's clothes were half-removed. She must be the one who was being undressed by the crowd.
Even in the cold winter, the big man, with his upper body naked, whipped the young man with a whip. Blood splattered as the whip was swung, and one drop of blood even fell at Yu Xiaoxiao's feet.
