Chapter 85: slave (3)
Chapter 85 Slave (3)
"So there are slave traders in the capital too?" Liu Yuan muttered to himself. A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
When Mo Kuang and Bai Heng heard about the slave trade, they both sighed inaudibly.
They are all children of poor families, so how could they not know the feeling of being sold as teeth by their parents because of their emptiness? This kind of thing happens almost every day around them.
Looking at the young children being forcibly pulled into the carriage by Ren Yazi, watching the parents mercilessly closing the gates one by one, watching the tears gushing out of the children's eyes, and constantly crying for their parents. What is it like in their hearts.
If it weren't for the slightly better conditions at home, I'm afraid they are also within the scope of those slaves today.
Han Ye was expressionless, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
Jun Li had a panoramic view of the expressions of several people, and said thoughtfully, "Let's go and have a look too."
This time, I didn't ask the opinions of several people, but I went to the east direction first.
Several people were slightly startled, hesitated for a while, but followed.
There are no shops or hawkers on the east side of the street, just an empty road.
Walking on the street, seeing women passing by in a hurry, Jun Li followed behind them without hesitation.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they came to a huge open space, which could hold one or two thousand people. And in the center of the open space, there is a simple high platform made of wood, with a height of more than 50 square meters, surrounded by several muscular middle-aged women, who can be seen as thugs or the like.
Many people have already stood on the open space. After a rough estimate, there are about 500 people, which is quite spectacular.
Junli and the others stood at the back of the crowd, seeing people stepping back from time to time, squeezing in front of them. Several people couldn't help but frowned, and they all stepped back several meters.
When the surrounding area no longer smelled the strong smell of sweat, several people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
It's not that they are exaggerating, but the smell just now is no less than torture to them!
Although I can no longer smell the smell of sweat, the distance from the high platform is far away. Except for Junli and Han Ye who didn't know the depth, the others couldn't see the scene on the high platform clearly.
Seeing this, Junli was helpless.
"We can't see the scene ahead here, why don't we go there." Junli said calmly.
Several people followed Junli's gaze, but there was a big tree on the right in front of him.
The big tree has luxuriant branches and leaves, more than 30 meters high, it can be called a towering ancient tree! If someone hides here, it is difficult to be found.
Mo Kuang swallowed his saliva, "Are we going up?"
Junli smiled at the corner of his mouth and remained silent.
Mo Kuang scratched his head and said awkwardly, "But I can't go up."
Liu Yuan and Bai Heng also shook their heads quickly, expressing that they could not go up either.
Junli was noncommittal, turned to look at Han Ye, "Brother Han should be able to take the two of you up?"
Said that there was a smile in the corner of his eyes, but there was a sharp look in the depths of his eyes.
This Han Ye, although she deliberately concealed it while walking, it still couldn't change the fact that she was a martial artist. And being able to spot the hidden guard hiding in the dark from a small fluctuation, the martial arts is probably not low!
The eyes drooped slightly, covering up the expression in them.
Mo Kuang was puzzled, "Brother Han doesn't know martial arts, how could he lead someone to such a tall uncle?"
Liu Yuan and Bai Heng also looked confused.
Do you not know martial arts?
The corners of Junli's mouth curled up in a playful way. It seemed that Han Ye and Mo Kuang were not that close, and Han Ye didn't even trust Mo Kuang and the others that much.
"Oh, Brother Han, doesn't he know martial arts?" Jun Li asked with a hint of interest in his eyes, pretending to be puzzled.
Han Ye's eyes flashed a killing intent, and then disappeared.
Before Mo Kuang and the others opened their mouths and said, "Kung fu is a little bit, but not very proficient."
Hearing this, Mo Kuang and the others were astonished, and said in a daze, "Brother Han, you know martial arts, why don't we know?"
Han Ye looked away uncomfortably from the eyes of several people, and said, "You didn't ask me."
The few people were stunned, and recalled for a while, it seemed that they had never asked her if she knew martial arts.
Thinking of this, Mo Kuang touched his head in embarrassment, showing a simple and honest smile, "Yeah, we don't seem to have asked."
Jun shook his head inwardly, this Mo Kuang is so innocent, he didn’t even understand such an obvious excuse, if he enters the imperial court in the future, will he really be able to live there?
Junli doesn't know, and doesn't want to think about it at this time. Because she knows that there are some things that even she cannot control.
"My martial arts are mediocre, and I can only take one person with me, so Brother Han will be in trouble." Junli said.
Han Ye's eyelids twitched, he was tricked. Having said all that, what else can she say, refuse?
Since you have made up your mind to persuade Mu Li, cooperate with her and let her help you. Then she should also show some strength, at least let Mu Li face her squarely, so that she won't be at an absolute disadvantage in persuading her in the future.
"Okay." Nodding in agreement, he pulled a person and quickly swept over the big tree.
At a height of more than 30 meters, with two big living people, they actually flew upwards without stopping as if nothing happened. This level of skill is probably comparable to hers.
Pull up Bai Heng who was staying at the side, and fly upwards slowly. The difference between that speed and Han Ye's speed just now was not just a little bit, but a world of difference.
Junli, who was flying upwards, was not only slow, but he was also crooked when he performed his lightness kung fu.
Bai Heng had a mournful face and said in an unsteady voice, "Miss Mu, is it okay if we don't go up?" It was really scary.
"No way!" Junli replied without thinking.
Bai Heng really wanted to bang her head against the wall now, she was a little afraid of heights, just now she thought that Miss Mu's martial arts were higher, so she stood by Miss Mu's side, hoping that Miss Mu would bring herself.
Now Miss Mu is indeed taking her with her, but why is the result so different from what she imagined?
Shouldn't Ms. Mu wrap her arms around her waist, and stand gracefully on the tree trunk in the blink of an eye? But who can tell her what's going on now?
Why is the hand holding her waist trembling faintly, and the shaking is stronger than hers. Why are Han Ye and the others already standing on the tree trunk, but they are still slowly "climbing" here?
Bai Heng only wished to go back in time, so that he could see Miss Mu's weakness clearly. At that time, she would no longer trust Miss Mu and stand by her side.
Finally, with Bai Heng's death-looking expression on his face, Jun Li's feet slowly landed on the tree trunk.
