Chapter 128: The difference is immediately apparent
Being sold to the Mobei people, Meng Jin also knew what this meant.
This bad news was indeed a big blow to him, and he was completely stunned for a moment.
It wasn't until Shanshui called him several times that he came to his senses.
Shanshui reminded him, "Minister Meng, are we going to look for something now? His Majesty is still waiting. If the Majesty is pleased, he will definitely reward you with great wealth."
Meng Jin came back to his senses.
He first looked towards the direction of Mobei, as if struggling greatly. After a long while, he seemed to have made a decision.
He lowered his eyes and said softly, "Let's go."
Hearing this, Shanshui smiled sarcastically.
He keeps saying that he cares about Miss Xiaowan, but is this it?
Compared with immense wealth, Miss Xiaowan's safety is not worth mentioning?
Their general risked his life for Miss Xiaowan.
Comparing the two, the difference is obvious. This sissy is not even as good as a toe of his general.

The muddled darkness was dispelled by a basin of cold water poured over my head.
Wen Wan opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw it, she took a deep breath.
In front of me is a hot spring pool ten meters long and wide, with gurgling hot steam rising from the surface of the water.
In the middle water, there are more than a dozen hot women bathing. They have fair skin, big where big is big, small where small is small, and each of them has a fatal attraction to men.
Fortunately, Wen Wan is a woman. If she were a man, she would have been so angry that her blood would rush to her head and she would have died of nosebleed after seeing what she saw.
"When you wake up, go wash up in the pool! What are you standing there for?"
The stout woman with her hands on her hips was wearing a foreign costume, a headscarf embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns on her head, and large earrings made of unknown bones on her ears.
"Hey, is this slave stupid? Why doesn't she react at all when I talk to her?"
Another woman wearing the same attire came over to look.
"The quality of this batch of slaves is not good, so I picked out this decent one."
"Oh, if this guy is not smart, he should be sent back to be a two-legged sheep.
"If we offend the little prince and the king gets angry, our lives will be difficult."
After the two of them made a plan, they prepared to go forward and grab Wen Wan's hands and feet.
Wen Wan was shocked. She had just woken up from a coma, so she didn't understand the situation yet.
Why am I treated as a fool?
And send her to be a... two-legged sheep!
Is this the Mobei Royal Court?
Thinking of this, Wen Wan dared not delay any longer. Driven by the desire to survive, she immediately explained:
"I'm not stupid. I'm very smart. One plus one equals two, two plus two equals four, and four plus four equals eight. Oh, and I can recite poems and songs. If you don't believe me, I'll recite a few for you right now."
When the two strong women heard this, they paused.
"Are you really not a fool?"
Wen Wan nodded repeatedly, "Absolutely not!"
The two of them looked at each other, and one of them said, "Some people are so stupid nowadays that they can't be seen on the surface. How about this? I'll ask you a few questions. If you answer them correctly, it means you're not stupid."
"Okay." Wen Wan was full of confidence.
She just didn't believe that two uneducated women from ancient times could ask questions that she couldn't answer.
"What seasoning should be added to Double Happiness Pork?"
Wen Wan glared, "What meat?"
She had never heard of it.
The two strong women shook their heads.
"She doesn't even know how to make Double Happiness Pork, and yet she claims she's not stupid."
Wen Wan really wanted to cry, "Sisters, this double happiness meat... is something that every household in Mobei eats. I'm a slave of the Duan Dynasty, and I've never even tasted it, so how could I possibly cook it?"
When the two heard this, they looked at each other and one of them nodded.
"What she said seems to make some sense."
Another volunteered, "Let me ask."
Wen Wan put in the same effort as she would for the college entrance examination, prepared herself for the test, and listened to the questions carefully.
"My child is crying at night. How can I stop him from crying?"
Wen Wan: “…”
What kind of magical question is this?
She lowered her head to look at her belly, then raised her head with a plaintive look, "Sisters! I've never given birth to a child..."
How does she know how to comfort a child?
I have a headache and feel powerless, like a scholar meeting a soldier.
It was her fault. She shouldn't have thought that because she had received education from the successors of socialism, she would be more knowledgeable than ancient women.
She knew that this was God's way of punishing her for her arrogance with a bloody lesson.
Seeing this, the two strong women looked at her with regret.
"If you can't even answer such a simple question, you're no different from an idiot."
As they spoke, they grabbed Wen Wan's arms, one on each side, and tried to drag her out.
Suddenly, an old woman came in in a hurry and yelled at the two strong women:
"What are you still dawdling about? The little prince will be back in a quarter of an hour!"
"Hurry and send these candidate slaves over. The steward said we need twenty of them, not one less."
"Your Majesty must be made aware of the importance our Slavery Department attaches to this matter!"
When the two men heard this, they hesitated for a moment, then carried Wen Wan around and threw her directly into the pool.
Wen Wan heard the two of them whispering.
"It's okay to be a little silly. Anyway, you won't be able to tell if I don't make any noise."
"Every time a slave is sent to the young prince for selection, he never looks favorably upon any of them. This one isn't particularly good-looking either, so the young prince will definitely look down upon her as well."
Wen Wan fell into the pool and before she could react, she was stripped naked by two strong women.
When Wen Wan came to her senses, she had become one of the many women taking a bath in white.
She looked viciously at the two strong women who were teasing her.
She really wanted to ask them what it meant to be "not particularly good-looking."
Wen Wan was given as a gift to the general as a concubine, so her appearance must be excellent!
If there is anything that is worse than the women around me...
Wen Wan looked around, then lowered her head, her gaze falling on her chest.
"Is the difference huge? It seems to be just a little bit."
She remembered the time when she asked the housekeeper of the Shen Mansion in Border Town to help buy papayas. It had been so long, and she didn't know whether she had bought any.
If she could get back alive from here, she would definitely eat papaya steamed eggs every day.

Wen Wan didn't know how long she had been unconscious. As soon as she woke up, the two strong women treated her like a fool and threatened to send her to be a two-legged sheep.
Frightened and hungry, she felt dizzy after soaking in the hot spring pool for a while.
She was so dazed that she couldn't remember how the strong woman finally pulled her up and helped her put on her clothes.
Wen Wan struggled to stand at the end of the line, her bare feet stepping on the cold floor.
"Everyone, stand up straight, chest out, head high, buttocks raised!"
The old woman in charge lectured everyone in a shrill voice.
Then, she led the twenty candidate slaves out of the hot spring pool and walked towards the little prince's courtyard.
