Chapter 94 Chapter 16 Bian Tang Approaches

Xibai City at night is obviously more lively, full of traffic, people coming and going, full of merchants and peddlers. Yan Xun's carriage shuttled among the bustling crowds, the streets were full of lights, and there were all kinds of rare objects everywhere, many of which were imported from Huai Song Bian Tang and other places. This place is close to the border town, the business is prosperous, and the people's life is getting better and better. be richer. "Young Master," Ah Jing said in a deep voice: "We need to replenish some dry food, and the horses also need to be replaced. Xi Rui has already gone to prepare, we have to wait here for a while, you see, should we go to lodge first."

"No need," Yan Xun said, "Rush through the night." "Yes." Ah Jing didn't refute. In fact, it was just a small suggestion. Since leaving Shang Shen, Yan Xun has been galloping all the way, rarely resting. He has been with Yan Xun for so many years, so he naturally knows the meaning of it. deep meaning.Although on the surface this time, it was to spy on Bian Tang's situation, to meet and make an alliance with that person, and make a joint agreement.In fact, he understood what the young master was thinking. Hope the girl is safe and sound! Ah Jing meditated again in his heart.

After walking for a long time, I still haven’t been able to get out of the handicraft jewelry market. According to reports, the horse market in the east is even more out of reach. Xi Rui and the others should wait a little longer, and Ah Jing drove the carriage slowly. Looking around, he looked very leisurely, as if he was a real tourist. At this moment, a heart-piercing scream suddenly came from the west of the market. There was no movement in the carriage, and there was no reaction. A man with the appearance of a scholar came forward without a trace. , and then said to Ah Jing: "Go down and have a look."

"Boss Yue, don't go around talking around, I want this woman, you can either make an offer, we can discuss it, if you talk nonsense with this young master, I will just snatch her away." A man in a white robe, with a fan in his hand, spoke slowly and softly under the protection of several servants.Seeing that he is dressed gorgeously, he must be the son of everyone, but his face is quite annoying, full of obscene and shameless expressions. Although he said such words, his eyes were fixed on the sitting man. On the ground, the scarred woman exuded a greedy brilliance. Seeing that there was excitement to watch, the people watching around laughed and cheered. It can be seen that such things have happened a lot here, and everyone has become numb, and they don't feel that there is anything wrong with it.

The woman had long black hair and a pale complexion. She sat on the ground with her head down, her hands and feet were tied up, and she remained motionless.But even though she lowered her head, everyone can still see the beauty of this woman from her smooth skin and perfectly curved chin. The large robe is very ill-fitting and wet on her body, which makes her exquisite and bumpy. There is cause.The exposed arms were more densely covered with welt marks, obviously suffering from a lot of whipping and abuse. Boss Yue held a piece of white paper in his hand, waved it in front of the man in white, and said extremely proudly: "My lord, look carefully, is this a woman from an ordinary family? Daughter, she is the top daughter of heaven in our Great Xia. In normal times, let alone you want to buy her back into your private house, even if you want to take a look, someone will be ready to poach your eyeballs at any time, if not The young lady is down and out now, how can we be brothers? With this status, this status, and this appearance, two hundred gold is still expensive for you?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, Yan Xun in the carriage frowned slightly, lifted the curtain, and said to Ah Jing in a deep voice: "Ah Jing, go and have a look." After finishing speaking, he jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the center of the crowd. When the guards hidden in the crowd saw him, they immediately squeezed into the crowd and made a way for him. At this moment, the woman suddenly raised her head, looked at Boss Yue stubbornly, and said in a deep voice, "You will be punished!" At this time, everyone saw her whole picture clearly at once, and they all let out an exclamation.I saw the woman's face was extremely beautiful, with almond eyes and willow eyebrows, red lips and snowy skin, a slender neck like a swan, her breasts were enlarged and her waist was narrow, and her figure was slim. Hate, but don't have a hard-to-disguise demeanor.

It was the first time that Wang Gongzi heard her speak, and he felt that the woman's voice was sweet, like a silver bell, and he didn't pay attention to what she said at all. He gritted his teeth and said cruelly, "It's not expensive, buy it!" Boss Yue was very happy when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Then let's make a deal, let's pay the money and deliver the goods, how about it?" Wang Gongzi was about to take the silver ticket in high spirits, his eyes moved suddenly, he smiled, stretched out his hand to touch his chin, and said, "Boss Yue, I have to spend so much money, tell me, I have to inspect the goods before I can rest assured!"

The onlookers were in an uproar when they heard this, and Boss Yue was taken aback for a moment, then punched Young Master Wang hard in the chest, and scolded with a smile: "You bastard, if you want to inspect the goods here so much, I'll kill you!" It doesn't stop you either." Everyone understood, no one knew what was going on, and they booed loudly, as if they were afraid that the prince would not be here to inspect the goods.At this moment, the woman finally showed a frightened look, tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried her best not to let them flow out, she bit her lower lip tightly, her breathing was short of breath, she wished she could hit her head to death, but she couldn't move.

A human trafficker who was guarding the slaves next to him saw him, whipped his whip down, and shouted: "Be honest!" When Prince Wang saw her, he pushed away the person who whipped her, and said: "Go ahead, I will buy it all, and you are still beating here, do you take me seriously?" Boss Zhu Yue said: "How can it be done here? Let's find an inn and inspect the goods there. If you are worried, just watch from the sidelines." Boss Yue laughed and scolded: "I'm watching you while you're eating, is I being cheap? Forget it, since the young master and I have been friends for many years, let's go to the Guiyan Inn in front of us."

Prince Wang smiled, and told Xiao Si beside him, he took a step forward and walked towards the woman, smiling as he walked: "Little beauty, don't be afraid, I will love you very much." The woman's eyes were as dead as gray, but she said in a stubborn voice: "You kill me, I won't obey you." Although she spoke forcefully, her voice was clear and clear, and the prince even grinned lewdly and laughed twice: "Don't be afraid! I am willing to kill you, I bought you back at a huge price. Sweetheart, it’s not too late for me to love you! As for never following me, it’s not up to you!”

"A bunch of beasts! I, Huaiyin warrior, will not let you go!" "Haha! Huaiyin? Huaiyin was destroyed by the emperor a long time ago. Do you know what the charges are? Betraying the empire and collaborating with foreign enemies. No one can save you. Now it's hard for anyone to come. Even if the Yanbei lion comes, I can still kill you." He was crushed to death like an ant!" "Boom!" All of a sudden, everyone saw a cyan figure flashing by, and the arrogant prince in white flew out like a kite, flying seven or eight meters away, before making a loud bang fell to the ground. "Young master," the scholar gave Prince Wang a cold look, then turned around respectfully and walked back. Behind the crowd, a man wearing a dark green robe slowly walked out from behind, his steps were slow and his face was cold , I can't see the slightest joy or anger. He glanced over the crowd indifferently, glanced at the prince who was struggling up from the ground, then pointed to the woman who was sitting on the ground, and said, "Take her away." Boss Yue looked at Prince Wang, who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, and said tremblingly, "Who are you? Do you want to rob him by force? You are so courageous, aren't you afraid that I will report to the police?" After listening to Boss Yue muttering for a long time, everyone couldn't help laughing out loud when he came up with such a sentence.You must know that Boss Yue has been recruiting soldiers and buying horses in Xibai City to sell slaves for a day or two. He has always been a bully and fears evil. Officer, ask the government to come forward. Seeing that he is frightened like this now, it is obvious that he has seen something. Yan Xun turned his head indifferently, frowned slightly, and said in a low tone: "Shopkeeper, this girl is the daughter of the Helian family in Huaiyin, with such an identity, you dare to move, aren't you a bit too courageous. " Boss Yue bravely shouted: "What about the Helian family? Huaiyin has already been defeated, and anyone can step up and step on it. Not to mention her, even the current king of Yanbei was not well-known in Zhenhuang back then. Human bullying, thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west of the river, once these masters lose their fortunes, they are even worse than dogs, this is a legal business, why not?" Yan Xun didn't speak, he just narrowed his eyes slowly, and looked at this man lightly, his eyes were full of light, with a special glint. Boss Yue was a little nervous when he saw him, so he pretended to be calm and said: "The road is facing the sky, each side should go to the other side. Brother, let's make friends here, and I won't pursue this matter with you. What do you think?" Sample?" Yan Xun squinted at him, twitched the corner of his mouth, suddenly felt a little funny. "His grandma, what are you doing so stupidly? Give it to me, beat him to death!" Prince Wang finally got up from the ground and yelled loudly at his subordinates. . Yan Xun didn't seem to hear what he said, so he went straight up and walked towards the woman. As soon as Boss Yue gritted his teeth, he waved his hand fiercely, and his subordinates also stepped forward one after another, showing their arms and rolling up their sleeves, and they were about to start fighting.But at this time, some ordinary people who were watching around suddenly rushed forward with vigorous skills, and fought with these people, knocking Wang Gongzi and Yue Boss to the ground. In an instant, the big men screaming and wailing all over the place, rolling over and over again. Yan Xun stood in front of the woman, looked down at her, saw her ragged clothes, turned back and said to Ah Jing: "Bring some clothes." Ah Jing was taken aback, and quickly took off his robe, Yan Xun took it over, handed it to the woman condescendingly, and said, "Put it on." The young lady of Helian's family was stunned for a moment. She raised her head in disbelief, her fingers trembling, as if she couldn't hold a piece of clothing.The torture and turmoil of the past few days, the wandering and wandering without a fixed place, the shame and insult of being resold by one person to another, the hardships and ups and downs that she has never endured, have already exhausted this woman physically and mentally.She has been holding back, not crying or fussing, trying her best to maintain the last dignity of the Helian family, but at this moment, her eyes suddenly turned red, she pursed her lips tightly, took the dress, and hurriedly lowered her head, A tear slapped on the back of his hand. Wang Gongzi's face changed drastically when he saw it. He didn't expect that the guards that he had fought all over Xibai's invincible hands would be defeated in a wave of his hand. Wang Gongzi's teeth trembled from fright, and he said tremblingly: "You wait for me, If you have the guts, don't run." After that, he ran away first, and disappeared after a few strokes. When Boss Yue saw that Young Master Wang had run away, his whole body collapsed. He changed his toughness before, and suddenly fell down on his knees in front of Yan Xun with a plop, crying loudly: "Please look at me, hero Mother, for the sake of being an eighteenth lady, give me a way out!" Yan Xun was taken aback, looking at this earth-shattering man who was crying, those who didn't know would think that he was the one who was about to be sold into slavery.Hearing his familiar words, he felt disgust for a moment, and he said slowly and calmly: "Do you want money? How much do you buy for that bastard?" Boss Yue was overjoyed immediately, he didn't expect that this person is really a hero, he can eat soft but not hard, while crying, he said that he was forced by life, there is no way to go to heaven, and there is no way to go to earth, for the sake of parents, wife and children, he only Desperately embarked on this road full of thorns and bumps. Now most of the brothers who work together died in the war, and countless old and weak women and children are waiting for him to take care of them. He said that he is like a public servant who takes care of the lonely old people .In the end, he seemed not to care and said that the selling price of the girl was two hundred gold beads. Of course, I dare not accept so much money from a hero, but for the sake of my brother's parents to live well, and for their children to go to school and get a good education, I do my best. It doesn't matter if he becomes the most shameless scum in the world, so he decided to make a discount and only accept Yan Xun's one hundred and ninety-nine gold beads. Just when all the onlookers could no longer listen, Yan Xun finally humanely interrupted this guy's long-winded speech that sounded like a speech by a young man who had lost his way, and said something that made Boss Yue feel so painful. "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Besides, I have no money." Boss Yue's expression froze in an instant, he was stunned, he almost turned his back, his eyes kept looking at the woman, and he almost let me down by saying that you don't have money. Yan Xun looked at his greedy look and smiled coldly, and said, "But I have gold, do you see if this is enough?" As he spoke, he looked at a tall, blue-eyed woman of a foreign race, who smiled sweetly, her eyes were like honey water, and looked at the people around her like peach blossoms, and then took out a The burden, poured out all the contents inside with a clatter. A mountain of gold fell down immediately, and the faces of Boss Yue and everyone present turned into dull expressions in an instant. Everyone stared dumbfounded at the golden gold piled up all over the floor. It was quiet. Yan Xun smiled lightly: "It seems that enough is enough, then I will go." Boss Yue has already lost the ability to speak, so much money is enough to buy a Xibai City, but it's just a small female slave?Seeing Yan Xun's subordinates actually picked up the woman and walked to the other side of the long street, he realized that he was not dreaming. After Yan Xun walked far away, the crowd of onlookers came to their senses, but they just rushed towards the shiny gold with a bang.Fearing that he would be left behind, Yan Xun walked far away, and could still hear Boss Yue screaming desperately: "This is mine, get the hell out of here!" A sneer slowly climbed up the corner of Yan Xun's mouth, a group of greedy guys turned a blind eye to the tragic disaster, so, let him teach them this lesson. The young lady of Helian's family was covered with injuries, she was supported by Ah Jing, and then she got into the carriage with Yan Xun, raised her head and said, "Thank you for saving me, my little girl, I can't repay you." Yan Xun didn't speak, he leaned there, as if he was thinking about something, the woman didn't dare to speak when she saw that he didn't speak, so she just sat aside. "How did Grand Duke Zhaoming die?" A deep voice suddenly sounded, Miss Helian was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Do you know my father? Are you my father's friend?" "No," Yan Xun shook his head, "I'm just curious." The light on Miss Helian's face faded immediately, she bit her lower lip, thought for a moment, and said: "Father was betrayed by his subordinates, and his head was cut off before the city was broken. Surrendered to the fourteenth prince, Kaesong surrendered." "Fourteen?" Yan Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, and murmured, "Zhao Yang?" Trying to think about this person, he didn't even have any impressions. It seemed that the Zhao family was immortal. If Zhao Che hadn't been in Zhenhuang to stabilize people's hearts, and if Zhao Yang hadn't sent troops to conquer the vassal kings who disobeyed the empire, this turmoil alone would It will completely end the Zhao Dynasty.After all, the turmoil this time was not just a turmoil in the imperial capital, it was like a fuse that ignited Yanbei's eight-year hatred and anger, and ignited a reform planned by the Great Association for decades. It detonated the people's sorrow and anger under the high-handed rule of the Great Xia Dynasty for more than 300 years, and even detonated the slave system of thousands of years in the entire Simon Land! "My name is He Lianling, the young master saved me. From now on, I will be the young master's man." The woman said slowly in a tender voice, but Yan Xun didn't respond at all, still immersed in his own thoughts, and didn't reply . He Lianling sighed slightly, for some reason, his heart suddenly felt sore, at this moment, there was a heart-piercing cry from outside, as if many people were whining in unison, the sound pierced the heart and lungs, Extremely tragic. He Lianling was taken aback for a moment, then opened the curtains and wanted to look outside. Unexpectedly, Yan Xun stretched out his hand to press her head down, covered her eyes with his palm, and said in a deep voice, "Don't look." He Lianling was taken aback for a moment, her body froze immediately, but two traces of blush slowly rose on her cheeks, she obediently did not move, the peaceful Ren Yanxun covered her eyes and did not resist.He just kept blinking his eyes under Yan Xun's big hands, and his long eyelashes brushed against Yan Xun's palms, making him feel slightly itchy. "These people want money in their dreams, so I'll give it to them, but I'm afraid they don't have the blessing to enjoy it." Yan Xun's voice was low, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. There are too many people with ulterior motives in this world, they should be killed and replaced. 775 was destined to be a chaotic era that should be deeply remembered by future generations.At least Wang Shouzhi, the city guard of Xibai City, an important town in the southeast of Great Xia, thinks so.Wang Chengshou, who heard that his son suffered a big loss in the market, rushed to the scene with a large number of Yamen soldiers, but what he saw was enough to wake him up from the nightmare for countless nights to come. On top of a pile of golden gold, there are densely packed corpses that are completely corroded and completely festered. These corpses are completely out of shape, and they can't see their original appearance at all. Pulling it out, it can be seen how painful they were tormented during their lifetime, and in front of them, those twisted and stretched blood unexpectedly gathered into a few bloody red and glaring characters: those who have lost their conscience, God will punish them! Standing in front of those big characters, everyone felt a chill rising up their backs.Wang Shouzhi's son's legs were trembling constantly, and suddenly he jumped up suddenly, a small blue Gu worm appeared from a small blood hole on his body, and the Gu worm moved at a speed visible to the naked eye. With rapid growth and reproduction, within a quarter of an hour, it has spread all over his body. In the blink of an eye, the city guard who was still showing off his power just now turned from a big living person into a lifeless skeleton. , and when his last eyeball was devoured by the Gu insect, he was still screaming desperately. All the people present were deeply shocked by this scene, and Wang Shouzhi didn't even order someone to save his own son.There are dogs and fierce soldiers between Daxia and the alien races in the northwest. It has been more than 300 years since they have had contact with the alien races outside the pass. No one in these areas near the southeast knows that there is such a cruel beast in the cold northwest continent. means.In front of their eyes, these things are no longer comparable to human power. So after learning the whole story of the incident, all the merchants involved in the slave trade in Xibai City fled overnight, without even remembering to bring those slaves with them, and Wang Shouzhi City Code led all the officials to release those slaves that night .He also burned incense to sacrifice to heaven, and prayed for forgiveness from heaven. He has eighteen sons, and it doesn't matter if one of them dies. In such self-comfort, this matter just goes away. No one dares to investigate, and the pile of No one dared to touch the gold placed on the street, and it was gradually covered by yellow sand.Until one day, a few three- and four-year-old children ran there and found a pile of round golden beads from the yellow sand. The children happily used these golden beads to hit slingshots, and unnoticed, these children were blown away by the wind. The golden beads that the people of Ya County regarded as a scourge were smashed clean. People in later generations only know that in the long history of the land of Simon, it was Yanbei who was the first to raise the great banner of abolishing slavery and equality for all, and opened up a great empire for the people of later generations.But I don’t know that slavery has been abolished in Xibai City in the southeast of Great Xia before this. The city records of the city are recorded as follows: Wisdom, benevolence, virtuousness, virtuousness, wisdom, and wisdom. Prudent, willing to take risks, abolished slavery, a model of the times, a great man of history, and an empire... But these are all things for later. On August 17, 775 in the Baicang calendar, Tangjing, the ancient capital of Bian and Tang Dynasties, which sits in the southeast and has a history of thousands of years, finally faced the whole world on this stormy night. Announcement: On the ninth day of September, Crown Prince Li Ce will marry Zhao Yan, the Ninth Princess of Daxia, and the world will be amnesty and the whole country will celebrate together. When Yan Xun heard the news, Ah Jing lifted the curtain of the carriage and said in a low voice, "Young master, that woman is still following." It was raining heavily outside, and the sky was dark and desolate. Yan Xun frowned slightly, his face was slightly pale, he frowned and slowly opened his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Give everything to her?" "Forged identity documents, more than one hundred gold, pearl and silver bills, and dry food and luggage, but she stubbornly refused to stay in the city and followed behind." "Then there's nothing we can do." Yan Xun said slowly, his complexion was very bad from the rush of the past few days, he leaned in the carriage and lowered the curtain. Ah Jing turned her head and saw that in the heavy rain in the distance, the young lady staggered every step, almost fell down several times, she couldn't help but sighed slowly. "Ah Jing," Yan Xun suddenly called out, "Give her a coir raincoat and tell her not to follow us anymore." Ah Jing was taken aback for a moment, and quickly agreed, and gave the same instructions to the servants at the side. After a while, the heavy rain gradually subsided, and the sky became dark. It was already dark in the afternoon. There is a teahouse in front, everyone came down to rest, Ah Jing was puzzled along the way, and looked at Yan Xun suspiciously from time to time, Yan Xun drank tea quietly, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "What do you want to say?" Ah Jing was taken aback, scratched her head, and said with a chuckle: "Young master, I'm just curious, you usually don't like to meddle in other people's business, how did you treat Miss Helian?" The following meaning is self-evident, but Yan Xun did not refute.Then she fell silent, and Ah Jing couldn't help but think to herself that she was really talkative, the young master was also a man with a high position and authority, and he was in his prime of life, the girl was not around for so long, why did he look at other women so strangely, why did he say it. "Ah Jing, do you believe in ghosts and gods?" Yan Xun asked suddenly, Ah Jing was taken aback, opened his mouth wide open in a foolish way, and asked, "Ah? Young Master, what did you say?" Yan Xun said to himself: "I didn't believe in it before, but now I kind of believe in things like karma." He put down his teacup, suddenly smiled, raised his head and looked towards the southeast, and took a deep breath slowly. "Ah Chu is wandering outside alone. If this happens to me, I hope someone can help her." Yan Xun's eyes are far away, with indescribable fatigue, like thick sea water. The dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and the sky cleared up after the rain. Bian Tang is not far away.
