Chapter 2744: The Sixty-Fourth Difficulty of Journey to the West, Sun Lingming captures the super general
Yushu County, Prefect’s Mansion.
A carriage that could only be pulled by six horses, carrying a steel cage made of fine steel and tightly wrapped in black cloth, slowly drove toward the prefect's mansion under the **** of nearly a hundred guards.
The Qiang people along the way started talking after seeing this, and they were obviously very curious about what was inside the iron cage. However, the accompanying guards all held knives, and they all had a fierce look, so no one should approach, so ordinary people naturally did not dare to approach.
After entering the prefect's house, the guards carefully removed the black cloth, and what was locked inside the cage was a tall, muscular, blond white man with a muscular body.
The white man was obviously locked in a fine steel cage, but his body was still chained with steel bars. Although he only wore shabby linen clothes, his brows still showed a majestic and domineering look.
The white man was still sleeping, but after feeling the light, he immediately opened his eyes.
It was this opening of his eyes that immediately made the surrounding guards feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They all stared at the man with vigilant expressions, as if he could escape from the cage at any time.
The man glanced at the guards around him, showed a disdainful sneer, and then closed his eyes without saying a word.
On the other side, Shu Luping brought Xiao Chuo over immediately after learning the news.
Looking at the foreign male slave in the cage, Xiao Chuo was extremely puzzled. He didn't understand what this man's ability was, and he was worthy of Shu Luping spending five thousand taels of gold to buy this man from Guishang.
You must know that since the expansion of the army, the Qiang people's finances have also been extremely tight. For the current Qiang people, five thousand taels of gold is not a small number.
Just seeing Xiao Chuo's expression, Shu Luping knew what she was thinking, and couldn't help but smile: "This person is an expert who has cultivated fighting spirit to the level of a master. His own value alone is far more than a mere five thousand." Two golds.”
The martial arts systems practiced in the East and the West, as well as in Tianzhu, are actually different.
Although the martial arts systems practiced by Dongfang and Tianzhu are both called internal and external skills, one uses the eight meridians of internal skills, and the other uses the three meridians and seven wheels of internal skills. They are two completely different systems, but they are both based on practicing. Qi is the main body refining and supplementary.
As for the fighting qi system of the West, it is completely the opposite of that of Dongfang and Tianzhu. It focuses on physical training and qi training as a supplement. Therefore, the physique is often stronger than that of Dongfang and Tianzhu, and the body shape and style are also very unified. They are basically tall and strong. , a muscular body-trainer type.
These three major martial arts systems have all produced semi-mysterious Dzogchen masters, so we cannot say who is superior and who is inferior. We can only say that each path leads to the same destination in the end.
“What? Grandmaster?”
Xiao Chuo immediately exclaimed when he heard this. He couldn't believe what Shu Luping said.
Haizhou borders the Western Region, and the Western Region borders Central Asia. For Eastern merchants, the Silk Road is a sure-profit trade route, so Qiang caravans will also go to Central Asia and Central Asian countries to do business. .
After Shuluping learned from the Wanguo Kantu map that there was such a vast world to the west of China, he also yearned for the outside territories. He personally led a caravan to Central Asia to sign a trade agreement with the Kushan Empire, and also returned He sent people to collect a large amount of intelligence about the West.
Xiao Chuo was also lucky enough to accompany Shu Luping when he went to Guishang, so he had a fairly good understanding of the West and knew that slavery was still practiced there and the slave trade was extremely popular.
But it would be a bit outrageous if even a strong man of the level of a Grandmaster can be reduced to a slave and sold in public. After all, the strong have the dignity of the strong. To make a Grandmaster a slave is in itself a blasphemy against power. ah.
At this thought, Xiao Chuo couldn't help but feel a little more pity in his eyes when he looked at the white man. After all, if the grand master was in the East, he would definitely be a distinguished guest of a big power, and he would be scrambling to give money and women to woo him, no matter how unsuccessful it was. As for being a slave.
Wait, its own value?
Xiao Chuo captured another key word in Shulu Pinghua, its own value, which means that this master slave has other values besides its own strength?
“Then what is the value of this person outside of himself?” Xiao Chuo asked.
Shu Luping liked Xiao Chuo's intelligence very much and said: "In the Roman Empire in the far west, there was a reward of one hundred thousand taels of gold on his head."
“What? One hundred thousand taels of gold? How is this possible?”
Xiao Chuo exclaimed again, obviously not expecting that the bounty for this master slave would be so high, which was already far higher than the bounty for a normal master.
You must know that the reward for Sima Yi, the Qin traitor who planned the Luoyang coup, was only 50,000 taels of gold.
What virtues and abilities does this man have that he deserves a reward of one hundred thousand taels of gold from Rome for his life? Xiao Chuo secretly thought.
Whether it is the East or the West, there are many high-ranking officials who are accustomed to freedom and do not want to belong to the court. As for those who have fallen into evil, the court generally has three ways to deal with them: Chaoan, hunting, and offering rewards.
The bounty, as the name suggests, means that the court will issue a bounty, and let the experts of the people capture it for you. No matter whether you live or die, you can receive the bounty from the court if you succeed.
This has also given rise to a profession called bounty hunter, which makes a living by chasing down criminals and collecting court bounties. Famous heroes such as Qiao Feng and Guo Jing have all done this to make extra money.
For a master-level criminal, the bounty in the East is generally between 5,000 taels and 15,000 taels of gold.
As for the Grand Master’s bounty?
Sorry, no force dares to offer a bounty to the Grand Master yet. There are two reasons for this:
First, the price of offering a bounty to the Grand Master is too high, and no force is willing to pay it.
Secondly, no one among the people can solve the Grand Master alone, and even if there is someone, they may not be willing to take action, so there is no point in offering a reward. Seeing the shock on Xiao Chuo's face, Shu Luping did not explain anything. Instead, he looked at the man in the cage and asked, "I am right, Mr. Spartacus II from Rome."
Just now when Luping was talking about the bounty, he saw Spartacus's eyelashes trembling, indicating that this man was not asleep, but was deliberately pretending to be asleep, so he spoke to test him.
Spartacus didn't have much thought. When he heard what Shuluping said, he didn't continue to pretend to be asleep. Instead, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at Shuluping with a cold face, and asked in broken Chinese. Said: "How do you know my identity?"
He was indeed offered a reward of 100,000 taels of gold by Rome, but the reward order would definitely not spread to the east thousands of miles away. After all, the Kushan Empire that auctioned him did not know his identity, so how did Shuluping recognize him? Where is he coming?
Shuluping smiled, and Spartacus responded, which showed that he was not as stubborn as the intelligence said, and he should be the type to win over.
Shuluping took out a wanted notice written entirely in Roman and with a portrait of Spartacus, and said: "This wanted notice was brought back from Persia by my caravan, but it happened to be in The slaves in Kushan met His Excellency Spartacus II, so I took the initiative to save His Excellency so that I could have a good relationship. "
The Spartacus II mentioned by Lupin is actually Spartacus.
The reason why he is called the second generation is because he is a hidden figure of the alien race Baizhao. After he was born, he was automatically implanted by the system to become a descendant of Spartacus.
Spartacus was the leader of the uprising against the tyranny of Rome more than 250 years ago. He was also an extremely tragic hero. Although his uprising was eventually suppressed, it also shook the foundation of the Roman Empire's rule. , so his descendants are naturally a thorn in the flesh of Rome.
After the Spartacus Rebellion, Rome went through more than two hundred years of decadent rule, and its internal contradictions had reached an extreme, but the oppression of the people at the bottom was still not curbed at all.
It is precisely because of this that Alexander, Leonidas, Napoleon and others became independent, as well as the great uprising launched by Joan of Arc and others.
Originally, all this had little to do with the newly born Spartacus. After all, although the identity implanted in him by the system was that of a descendant of Spartacus, that was more than two hundred years ago. He just wanted to He lives a peaceful life and does not want to be an enemy of Rome.
But because of an accident, his life experience was exposed, and in order to frighten the rebels, the Roman interior officer Grebo decided to attack the reclusive Spartacus family. After all, the descendants of Spartacus are a good gimmick and banner.
Grab's goal was achieved. Spartacus's father died to protect his family, and he, his mother, wife and daughter were all reduced to slaves, as a warning to those slaves who dared to resist Rome.
It was not that Spartacus had never thought about resisting, but Rome was not yet completely in chaos at that time, and he was being watched by Glaber. If he resisted, not only would he die, but his mother, wife and daughter would also be harmed.
So, Spartacus had no choice at all. He could only become a gladiator and fight to the death for Grebo.
However, his compromise did not result in good treatment. Instead, his mother, wife and daughter were humiliated to death, and he was about to be publicly executed by Roman internal officials.
Spartacus would have definitely died if his friend Kress and others who were also gladiators, as well as the rebels lurking in the city, had not come to the rescue.
Spartacus, who was lucky enough to escape, once again embarked on the road to resist the tyranny of Rome with hatred for the Roman Empire. In order to distinguish him from his ancestors, the rebels called him Spartacus. Sri Lanka II.
Spartacus's uprising was both lucky and unfortunate.
There are two things he was lucky about. First, he caught the last train of the twelve super gods in the West. After a series of training and growth, he finally reached the top of the super generals with a base score of 105.
The second thing is that he did not fight alone. His uprising coincided with Alexander's rebellion. Rome mobilized an army of 600,000 to encircle and suppress Alexander, and did not even care about the rebel army he led.
Therefore, the rebel army grew rapidly in a short period of time, and Spartacus also killed Glaber in a battle, avenging the blood of his parents, wife and daughter very easily.
Unfortunately, although Spartacus's rebel army became stronger, the opponents he faced were also stronger.
The historical Spartacus uprising was suppressed by Crassus, and this time he faced Caesar whose military talent far exceeded Crassus, as well as Hercules, one of the twelve super gods of the West.
Although Spartacus is also a super general, his background is too shallow. Even if he joins forces with many powerful generals such as Kress, Enomai, Gannicus, etc., he is still no match for the Hercules.
If Heracles hadn't been extremely sympathetic to Spartacus, showed sympathy to Spartacus during the battle, deliberately held back his hand, and spared Spartacus, I'm afraid Spartacus would have been killed long ago. Die eight times.
Although Spartacus escaped, the rebel army was defeated by Caesar in a battle. They died and fled, and they were no longer able to pose a threat to Rome.
Spartacus was forced to flee all the way to Eastern Europe, but was captured by slave traders due to exhaustion and sold to Persia.
Spartacus became a slave again, and his hatred for the slave traders reached the extreme. After recovering, he violently killed all the slave traders. After freeing all the slaves, he forcibly captured a small subordinate country of Persia and prepared to save money. Fight back to Rome with strength.
What Spartacus never expected was that the king of the small country he conquered had a very good reputation among the people, and not long ago he ceremoniously received the five masters and disciples of Xuanzang, an eminent monk from the East, with the highest courtesy.
The westward journey of the five masters and disciples of Xuanzang can be said to be quite unsatisfactory. They encountered many hardships on the way, such as being coveted by the nobles of the Dawan Kingdom for their weapons and horses, and being coveted by the Da Yuezhi princess for their beauty. He was forcibly recruited as a prince-in-law, coveted by the Kushan female general for his beauty and forcibly married, and...
Although it is said that as long as Da Qin's customs clearance document is presented, most of the difficulties can be overcome safely, and the big countries are extremely polite to them, but there are still many small forces that do not give Da Qin face, but they are all given a thumbs up by the five masters and disciples. Once resolved.
As for the small country captured by Spartacus, it was one of the few countries that the five masters and disciples encountered on their way westward, with a wise king, a prosperous country, and happy people.
Xuanzang was born with a bodhisattva heart. When he learned that the country was occupied by a slave, that the king with whom they had a good relationship was imprisoned, and that the people were complaining, he naturally would not ignore it, so he sent his disciples to rescue the king. Drive out the thugs and restore peace to the people of this country.
Sun Lingming, Zhu Tianpeng, Shajuan Lian, and Ao Lie took action, first rescuing the imprisoned king, and then relied on the king to instigate the Kingdom Army who was forced to surrender. Then, after Ao Lie and Shajuan Lian were defeated, Sun Lingming personally defeated And captured Spartacus alive.
As mentioned before, fighting spirit is practiced in the West, but there is no description of fighting spirit, so this chapter will add some settings. Fighting spirit and internal force are both martial arts systems in this book, but one is more focused on Qi training and the other is more physical training.
