Chapter 172 The Beautiful Boy of Chu
[Ah~]
【Who can tell me what is going on? 】
Anjiu, who wanted to pretend to be asleep, couldn't continue because of the screaming chicken.
She opened her eyes, got up calmly, and looked at the things on the ground.
You can’t talk about things. There is a cage on the ground and there is a person in the cage.
It was a young man, wearing a thin white shirt, huddled timidly in a cage, with scars of varying depths all over his body.
"What's going on?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.
An Jiu looked at him and said calmly, "You bought it, sir."
The emperor shook his head: "Impossible, I...why would I buy a person?"
An Jiu let out a silent breath and pointed at the things on the table.
A pink plum blossom potted plant?
An Jiu told him: "This thing costs one thousand two silvers."
At that time, she really wanted to strangle the tyrant to death. Was she sick? One thousand taels of silver to buy a pot of plum blossoms?
spendthrift.
Later, when the plum blossoms were brought back, An Jiu discovered that the plum blossoms were actually jade potted plants. Both the petals and the flower stems were extremely lifelike and exquisite. From this point of view, one thousand taels of silver were not expensive.
The emperor frowned and roared in his heart, but he quickly calmed down. He asked An Jiu to tell him what happened last night and why he wanted to buy a person and a pot of jade plum blossoms.
An Jiu "..."
Not long after they arrived in this room last night, someone brought them clothes and masks. No one knew what they were for, and when they asked the tyrant he wouldn't tell them, he just said it was fun.
After they changed their clothes, they were taken to a hall. An Jiu saw many people wearing cloaks and masks, and she quickly knew what this place was used for.
This is a black market auction house.
Selling invisible poison that kills people, beautiful women who have been trained, notorious murderers, assassins with special skills, slaves in the market, priceless treasures from the palace, underwear worn by a certain beautiful imperial concubine, etc.
An Jiu was amazed by what he saw.
The tyrant looked around, seemingly interested in everything.
Then the pot of plum blossoms was brought up.
Their conversation at that time was.
Country bumpkin Anjiu exclaimed: "This flower is so beautiful. It must have taken a lot of effort to grow it so well in this season."
What the tyrant heard: It’s really beautiful, I like it.
So the tyrant spent a thousand taels of silver to buy it.
An Jiu was so distressed that he didn't pay attention to the things that came after him until this cage was brought up.
At first, An Jiu didn't know what this was for, until someone nearby discussed it and he finally understood.
Most countries in the East Continent have not abolished slavery. For example, An Jiu and Eunuch Li are slaves, but their situation is better than that of slaves in other countries.
The young man in the cage is used to satisfy the powerful people's torture and killing pleasure.
The person who introduced the young man kept whipping the young man in the cage with a whip. Blood soon seeped out of the young man's white clothes, but he had no way to avoid it in the cage and could only passively endure it.
Most of the people in the audience watched with excitement.
In their eyes, perhaps there is no difference between the people in the cages and pigs, dogs and other animals.
But An Jiu couldn't bear to watch it, she turned her head away and sighed: "He is so pitiful..."
An Jiu is not a saint, but she really can't stand this kind of simple slaughter.
The tyrant took one look at her and then photographed the man.
At that time, the seller told them that they could take the items away tomorrow or have them delivered to their door, but Tyrant refused to do so. He believed that the items he had bought were his, so he wanted to take them back to the room to show Xiaojiu.
As a result, as soon as he entered the room, the tyrant fell asleep because he had expended too much energy.
Only An Jiu and the Chu people were left staring at each other.
He felt uncomfortable with an extra person in the room, so An Jiu felt sorry for him and asked him if he wanted some water.
The Chu people were so frightened that they huddled in a corner and trembled.
They are all cattle and horses...
Anjiu went outside to get some snacks and tea for him.
He was very scared at first, but then he ate voraciously.
After eating, he seemed to relax a little.
An Jiu took a look at him in the candlelight. Although there were scars on his face, it could be seen that he was definitely a very handsome man, otherwise he would not have been carried onto the stage for auction.
For the lower class people of this era, beauty may also be a sin.
Both men and women.
An Jiu said to him: "Don't be afraid, we are not bad people."
The Chu man stared at her with his big eyes without saying a word. An Jiu inexplicably thought of the tyrant. Sometimes she looked at people like this. She smiled and gave him a blanket. Maybe he was too tired, and he fell asleep soon.
An Jiu couldn't hold on any longer. The bed was not big, so she pushed the tyrant to the corner and fell asleep herself...
After listening to An Jiu's narration, the emperor frowned, then he went downstairs to see the plum blossoms first.
[This thing is average, I have several in my warehouse. ]
[Does the silly goose like it? ]
The emperor thought seriously about what An Jiu had just said, as if she thought it was a real plum blossom at that time.
What a country bumpkin.
I'll give her a prettier one when I get back, so that this country bumpkin can open her eyes.
The emperor thought so and stood in front of the cage and looked at the person inside. The person in the cage had woken up and was looking out in horror.
[A good-looking man...]
"What's your name?" asked the emperor.
The young man shuddered: "Ah Chen."
The emperor asked again: "Are you from Chu?"
Ah Chen nodded.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and his gaze lingered on the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye for a moment.
[The royal family of Chu also has this thing, it's so ugly to be a woman. 】
Emperor Chu???
An Jiu turned to look at the boy. He didn't notice it last night, but he really did have a teardrop mole.
Such a face, such a mole, is very beautiful and charming.
The emperor looked at him for a few seconds and then looked away, losing interest in a slave.
But since the morning court had already been missed, there was no rush to go back, so I asked to have breakfast here.
An Jiu discovered that the emperor was very familiar with this place. While eating breakfast, he glanced at An Jiu who was standing. An Jiu was also really hungry, and he stared at the emperor and swallowed his saliva several times.
The emperor was speechless: "If you want to eat, come and get it."
An Jiu didn't bother to be polite with him. She took some as well and went to eat nearby.
The stuff here is very well made.
It’s much better than the staff meals in the palace.
Then……,
An Jiu noticed a gaze. She looked up and saw the beautiful boy in the cage staring at her and swallowing his saliva. Being discovered, he embarrassedly looked away.
An Jiu "..."
She took only enough for herself to eat…
Then she looked at the emperor, who looked very pretty while eating...
An Jiu looked at the food on his table.
He gritted his teeth and went over to take some, and secretly gave some to the Chu people.
The emperor glanced at her.
An Jiu hurriedly buried his head in eating.
It was already noon when they returned to the palace. The emperor asked for a carriage, and they met Lin San halfway.
Lin San's face was cracked by the cold wind. With red eyes, he called out, "Your Majesty..."
The emperor nodded and asked Lin San to deal with the matter of Plum Blossom Villa.
"Plum Blossom Villa?"
Could it be the place we went to last night?
An Jiu muttered something, and the emperor heard it. The emperor asked her, "Are you scared?"
An Jiu paused.
What's the meaning?
The emperor smiled and said maliciously: "If you dare to betray me, your fate will be the same as that Chu man."
An Jiu "..."
No, he is sick.
Can this be linked to her?
An Jiu rolled her eyes in her heart, but she expressed her loyalty: "I will never betray Your Majesty."
The emperor laughed in a mean way.
When An Jiu heard his laughter, he had the urge to punch him to shut him up.
