Chapter 1212 A Small Riot
After receiving Zhou Xu's order to withdraw troops, the military camp quickly got busy.
Since Zhou Xu had already guessed that there were problems within the Smith Kingdom, and he didn't have any ideas about this place, it would be better for him to leave as soon as possible to avoid being involved in any trouble.
However, at this moment, there was a small commotion in the military camp...
"What's going on over there?"
"I will go and confirm the situation right away."
As he was speaking, an elf knight ran quickly over there, and after understanding the situation, he quickly ran back.
"Your Majesty, it seems that there are two slaves from the Smith Kingdom hiding in the truck we are transporting supplies. The soldiers found them while loading the supplies and have now arrested them."
"Bring the person here."
At this delicate moment, the appearance of these two slaves from the Smith Kingdom even made Zhou Xu doubt his previous judgment, fearing that the other side was really planning something.
The two slaves were soon pushed in front of Zhou Xu.
At first glance, they are all skinny and very short. Due to years of being exploited and forced to work, their overall condition looks very poor and it is difficult to judge their age.
Zhou Xu's eyes quickly swept over the two slaves. He could clearly feel the panic of the two slaves.
Obviously, they were worried that their lives would be in danger at any second.
But even in this state, the yellow-skinned slave caught Zhou Xu's attention. Unlike the white-skinned slave next to him, he had a pair of bright eyes, which made Zhou Xu couldn't help but look at him again.
"Who asked you to lurk in our camp? What is your purpose?"
As a wizard who has entered the holy realm, Zhou Xu can make his every move, even a word or a look, carry mental pressure under conscious control.
In a way, this is also a good interrogation technique.
The white-skinned slave next to him was frightened so much that his legs trembled instantly. He was totally confused and kowtowed for mercy with tears and snot.
In comparison, although the yellow-skinned slave was equally nervous and frightened, he still maintained a certain degree of calm.
"Please spare us, sir. We have no ill intentions. We just have nowhere else to go. We hid here to avoid being hunted down. They definitely don't dare to come here to search..."
"Hunting?"
"Yes."
As he spoke, the yellow-skinned slave told Zhou Xu the whole story.
"We all have yellow skin, what's the difference between us? Why can we only be slaves since birth?"
Listening to the words of the slave in front of him, Zhou Xu felt a little surprised.
The environment in which a person grows up has a profound impact on him or her.
Logically speaking, people who have grown up in such an environment should have slave mentality ingrained in their bones. It is hard to imagine that the other party could actually say such words.
At the same time, when the other party was being chased, he was able to think that the slave owners did not dare to search their camp, so he hid in secretly. It is enough to show that this guy is quite smart.
"When did you hide in here? How did you hide in here?"
"The military camp here will let slaves serve as coolies to help carry supplies..."
Having said that, Zhou Xu had a basic idea in his mind.
During their stay in the Smith Kingdom, the food supplies for the entire army were basically provided by this side.
If the food and supplies were carried onto the carts by slaves, then they would have had the opportunity to blend in with the slaves who were carrying the supplies and then find a way to hide in the carts.
During this time, Li Ce, who was standing nearby, already had a gloomy look in his eyes.
Those grain trucks needed to be checked when they came in, but they still let these two slaves in. This was completely a dereliction of duty!
Li Ce gave a look, and the adjutant next to him immediately understood and started to check.
Zhou Xu saw all the little actions here, but didn't say anything.
People always make mistakes, and Li Ce is already dealing with it. Zhou Xu believes that Li Ce can handle it, so there is naturally no need for him to do anything unnecessary.
Not to mention that his interest at the moment was basically focused on the slave in front of him.
"May I have your name?"
"You may call me Yellow Bug, sir."
In the Smith Kingdom, slaves do not have normal names, but in order to make it easier for their masters to summon them, they will be given some vulgar names, basically insects, livestock and the like.
During the question and answer, Zhou Xu directly launched the "Eye of Secrets" towards the yellow bug.
Soon, the opponent's attribute panel was completely presented in front of him.
Name: Huang Chongzi Gender: Male Age: 16 Race: Human
Status: Malnutrition, sub-health Realm: None Life level: Mortal
Mantra: None Loyalty: 60 Talent: Decision-making: At critical moments, he has excellent decision-making ability.
Bravery: ★☆
Intelligence: ★★☆☆☆ Spirit: ★★☆ Endurance: ★★
Command: ★☆☆☆
The yellow bug's panel made Zhou Xu's eyes light up.
Five-star intelligence and four-star command? This is actually a rare wise general! From the perspective of the five-dimensional attributes, although bravery and endurance are very ordinary, considering his position as a wise general, as long as intelligence and command are in place, other attributes are actually not that important.
As for the talent of 'making decisions quickly'...
The talent itself is highly versatile, and it can also be confirmed that this talent will definitely be of great benefit to his future development, but it is hard to say whether this talent is powerful or not. The key still depends on how he uses it.
But even so, based on its five-dimensional attributes alone, the yellow bug in front of him is already a real "golden legend"!
In comparison, the other slave next to him was very ordinary and nothing special to see.
Zhou Xu's eyes fell on the yellow bug again. There was no need to beat around the bush. Zhou Xu said directly...
"Offer your loyalty, and I can grant you the status of a citizen of the Great Zhou."
The yellow bug was overjoyed when he heard this, and his loyalty level increased by ten points.
"I am willing to be loyal to you, even if it costs my life!"
At this moment, Huang Chongzi's tone was filled with excitement that was difficult to conceal.
At that time, he and his companions hid in the military camp. Not only did they have nowhere to escape, but they were undoubtedly taking a gamble in their hearts, betting that this group of people with the same skin color as them would accept them.
No matter what, life couldn't be worse than when he was a slave.
But Huang Chongzi never expected that the other party had already brought up this matter before he could even open his mouth, which made Huang Chongzi both surprised and delighted.
In comparison, the companions next to him were completely out of control.
Huang Chongzi pulled him twice, but he didn't react. He didn't know what was going on, which made Huang Chongzi secretly anxious.
Zhou Xu didn't care about this. Compared with the yellow bug, the other one was insignificant.
