On January 26th, on the mountain road outside Fushun, a group of people were riding their horses eastward.
Needless to say, everyone can guess that these people are Huang Donglai, Sun Yixie, Linghu Xiang, Lin Yuancheng, Jiang Muchan and Qin Feng.
Obviously, the six of them were going to join in the excitement of the "Green Forest Road Leading Battle".
Seeing this, some people may want to ask, this group of them...except Jiang Muchan are all people from the "Jianghu Road", why are they going to take care of the affairs of the Green Forest Road? ?
There are two reasons for the endorsement in the book.
Firstly, when Jiang Muchan's master was still alive, he had some connections with Gong Lianjun. In terms of seniority, the two of them should actually be considered peers in the Longmen Gang; although the former later became He was kicked out of the Longmen Gang because of something, but he still remembered his friendship with Gong Lianjun until his death, so he also asked Jiang Muchan to repay his kindness to Master Gong if he had the chance.
Now that Gong Lianjun is dead, the matter of repaying his gratitude can only be given up, but Jiang Muchan still has to do this to express his condolences to his old friend for his master.
Secondly, the general manager of the Green Forest Road Land Road, Zizu Tingfeng, has always had business dealings with Huangmen in Shuzhong. What kind of business do you want to ask, then I can only tell you. , Fushun is a place that produces salt, and Huangmen is the oldest local snake in Fushun, that’s all...
In short, if Zu Tingfeng succeeds in becoming the "leader" this time, then he will The cooperative relationship and division of interests with Huangmen are likely to change, so Mr. Huang hopes that a trustworthy person can make a trip for him and go to Guangzhou to see what is going on this time. , and what the result will be.
It just so happened that the young people who had been staying in Huangmen for the whole Spring Festival also wanted to go out for a walk. So, let Huang Donglai take everyone to Guangzhou to explore; anyway, nowadays Huang Donglai is already a top figure among his peers in terms of reputation and martial arts, and Mr. Huang is very relieved to let him go out and have a career.
In this way, the six of them embarked on a journey east to the Central Plains and south to Guangzhou.
This morning, six people were walking in the mountains. They were talking and laughing, very relaxed, but unexpectedly, halfway through, there was a sudden sound of fighting in front of them.
Of course, they will not panic because of this - the most likely thing is that someone is robbing Daoer. In their eyes, this kind of thing is similar to an "experience package".
Therefore, the six people just exchanged glances and without saying a word, they all shook their reins and rushed forward.
The horse turned a corner along the mountain road. Within a hundred steps, they saw two groups of people fighting in the middle of the road: On one side, there were only a few people left, backed by three carriages. , struggling to support, while on the other side, there are still twenty people.
"Huh?" Seeing six young men with weapons coming on horseback, the robbery party also reacted. At that time, one person turned his horse around, stopped in front of the six people, and charged at them. shouted, "Which way?"
Hearing this, Huang Donglai said in his heart: I am the majestic young master of Huangmen, this is Fushun territory, how dare you speak to me so loudly?
So, he immediately used a more arrogant tone than the other party and asked back: "Where are you from?"
The robber also licked blood from his knife edge. What a ruthless person, and he and his accomplices were fighting with someone just now. It was the time when adrenaline was surging and they were getting fierce. How could they be intimidated by a kid in their twenties, so he immediately shouted: "You Are you blind? Grandpas specialize in "eating old men", can't you tell?"
The six young heroes all understand his slang, and they are just professional robbers.
"Okay! Just admit it!" The next second, Lin Yuancheng, who was already ready to make a move, responded first.
When he finished speaking, he had already jumped up from the horse. The moment his figure flew over the head of the robber, the latter's head also left his body.
"Here's an idea!" The other robbers were also paying attention to the situation here. When they saw Lin Yuancheng using Qinggong to kill him, they quickly sent out their men to deal with the enemy.
Unfortunately, their strength was too weak... so weak that they could not see how big the gap between Lin Yuancheng and them was in a short period of time, so no one had time to beg for mercy or escape.
In less than fifteen seconds, the group of robbers was killed by Lin Yuancheng. At this time, Huang Donglai and the other five people just walked up slowly with their horses.
"You...you are..." At this time, the brothers who were robbed with their backs against the carriage were a little panicked.
The main reason was that what Lin Yuancheng had just done was beyond their understanding, which made them very scared, and even a little doubted whether the six people in front of them were humans or ghosts.
"Don't be afraid, we are from the 'Hunyuan Star Gate'." Huang Donglai saw the fear of these people, so he took the initiative to explain, "I just saw an injustice on the road and drew my sword to help. I have no intention of harming you."
"Uh...Oh, it turns out to be the young hero of the Hunyuan Star Gate. Thank you for your help." Most of the business people are shrewd people. They can talk about it by pushing the boat along the way. Even if it is the first time for them to hear the words "Hunyuan Star Gate" today, they will still say it for a long time.
"Hey~ It's a small effort, but it's a pity that we arrived a step late. If we could have arrived earlier, we might be able to save more people." Huang Donglai also said some scene words and was polite to the other party.
At the same time, Sun Yixie narrowed his little eyes and glanced at the three carriages behind the businessmen.
These carriages have obviously been specially modified for hauling goods. The carriages at the rear have been enlarged as much as possible. The goods on the carriages are fixed with hemp ropes, and the tops of them are covered. Thick linen cloth was used to cover the goods tightly.
At first glance, this is nothing special, because most people who travel long distances to do business willDealing with trucks in this way is just like the saying "don't show off your wealth"... people will rob you even if you don't show off your goods. If you don't build it up and show it off on the market, then how can you do it?
However, at this moment, there was a carriage that caught Sun Yixie's attention.
Because Sun Yixie smelled a smell from the covered chassis of the car - the smell of shit.
To be exact, it smells like human shit.
In those days, it was not surprising that you could smell the smell of horse manure on the carriage, because the horse might leave a mess along its buttocks as it walked, and then the wheels and the bottom of the carriage might be contaminated. Splash on some.
However, the smell of human feces is generally not found in cars.
Because if a person has a stomachache while walking on the road, he or she will get out of the car and find a place to deal with it. It is impossible to pull it in the car.
Unless... this person is trapped in the car and cannot get out.
Some people may ask again when they see this, so let’s forget about Huang Donglai. After all, he has been trained since childhood and has an extremely sensitive sense of smell, but this Sun Yixie... he can still smell shit when he smells it. Is it a human or a horse?
Actually, if you were born in an era when transportation basically relied on horses, or if you often came into contact with horses, you would be able to tell the difference.
The smell of the feces of many animals is obviously different from that of humans. Even ordinary people’s sense of smell is enough to distinguish them. If you don’t believe me, ask those who keep cats at home. As long as they often shovel feces, You can basically tell the difference between humans and cats.
Getting back to the topic, Sun Yixie, who smelled the smell, immediately began to think about it.
Is there someone locked up in this car?
Are these guys who were robbed themselves human traffickers?
When it comes to human traffickers, slaves come to mind. When it comes to slaves, people wonder if they are a beautiful girl from a foreign race...
Thinking of this, Brother Sun The two-dimensional DNA was moving. Two seconds later, he strode towards the truck that smelled of shit, and without saying a word, he took off the cloth covering the truck plate. .
The businessmen were also caught off guard. They did not expect that one of them would suddenly make such a move.
Forget about them, Huang Donglai and others didn’t know what song Brother Sun was singing.
As soon as it was said, just when everyone was surprised and confused by Sun Yixie's behavior, the "cargo" loaded on the carriage was also revealed.
On the chassis of the car, there is a large iron cage that is as tall as a person. It is about the same size as our modern elevator car. There is indeed a person in the cage, but it is not a beautiful girl. , but a black uncle; there was a bucket at the feet of this black uncle, and the smell that Sun Yixie smelled came from the bucket.
Everyone, I wonder if you still remember, we mentioned in the previous article that when the "Fire Lotus Immortal" Shi Xuanzi was still alive, he sent a "Kunlun Slave" to that Zhu Huo, the young prince of Prince Lu's Mansion in Jining, was still holding an iron plate with the name of the Kunlun slave in his hands at that time, but was later taken over by Jiang Muchan.It was stolen from my hand and fell into the hands of Sun and Huang.
On the iron plate, three words are engraved - "Tyrrell".
If you think about it, you should understand... At the moment, the "black uncle" they met is the Tyrell who appeared in the previous article.
Then how did he appear here?
It’s very simple. After the fall of the Fire Lotus Sect, Prince Lu’s palace quickly lost power. Zhu Yue was placed under house arrest by the imperial court and was unable to move around. Even his followers were gone. How could he have the leisure to “tame” Kunlun? slave? So he asked his servants to find a way to sell Tyrell.
In the following months, Tyrell was "resold" several times, and finally fell into the hands of the group of people in front of him.
These people are indeed businessmen, but they are not engaged in ordinary business, but specialize in reselling "rare and exotic goods". To them, this "Kunlun slave" is just one of the goods. First, in addition to Tyrell, their other two vehicles also contained a lot of various specialties from Myanmar, as well as "huge animal bones" that had just been dug out from the nearby Dashanpu.
"Oh~" After a few seconds of shock, Sun Yixie looked at Uncle Black in the cage and said a thoughtful curse word.
Huang, Lin, Jiang, Qin, and Linghu were all surprised when they saw Tyrell. After all, black people are still very rare in the land of Dashu. Never seen one.
"This..." Huang Donglai was a time traveler after all, so he was the first to calm down, turned to the businessmen and said, "...are you not selling people?"< /p>
"No, no, no! Where do you start talking about this, young hero?" The businessmen all showed very wronged expressions and hurriedly explained, "We are serious businessmen, and we don't care about children and thin horses. Touched... these Kunlun slaves are barbarians, and the court doesn't care when they are bought and sold."
They are also telling the truth. Although Da Zhao does not support the trading of these so-called "Kunlun slaves and Silla people." "Servant", but it is not clearly written in the laws of Dashu about the penalties for buying and selling such "commodities", and because these people are regarded as "barbarians" and have no legal status, so you say This is "population," and the definition is subtle.
In short, this is a relatively vague gray area. Because the market is very small and there are very few cases, no one cares about it.
"Well..." Huang Donglai fell into deep thought when he heard the other party's answer.
According to the standards of this world, there seems to be nothing wrong with what these businessmen said, but Huang Donglai, as a modern man who was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze, saw that there was a big living person. Being locked up in a cage and being sold as goods always makes me feel a little uncomfortable.
While he was hesitating, the businessmen also gathered together and whispered a few words quickly. After a while, one of them came forward and said with a smile: "Haha, young hero, let's discuss it." After a while, otherwise...this 'Kunlun slave' should be theI'll give it to you as a thank you gift to thank you for saving your life. "
"Huh? "Huang Donglai and his group all had the same reaction.
But the businessmen seemed to have already made their decision: "Young hero, don't worry too much, we didn't spend much money to buy him. Besides, We think what you just said makes sense. With him, we are somewhat suspected of 'human trafficking', so it would be better to hand him over to the young heroes. ”
After that, this dear friend thanked him several times, and then the group of people hastily collected the bodies of several companions on the ground, and drove away in two other carriages.
Shuangxie and the other six were left on the mountain road full of bandit corpses, staring at a carriage carrying Uncle Hei in a daze.
“What’s going on? "After a long time, Linghu Xiang said this sentence as if he was talking to himself.
But in fact... this "situation" is not difficult to understand.
First of all, after the robbery, the group of businessmen lost a lot of people. It would be good if the few remaining people can take care of the goods on the other two carriages. It is not a bad thing to abandon one carriage; secondly, If you must give up some goods, then the Kunlun slave who has to eat, drink, and defecate every day, and who has to be cleaned up by someone to prevent him from escaping, is undoubtedly the first choice. After all, there are fewer people now, and it is harder to squeeze out the manpower to "serve" him. ; Thirdly, Huang Donglai's "faced expression" when facing Tyrell, and the statement of "human trafficking" did make those businessmen concerned... In summary, be a favor and treat Tairel to the situation. It was indeed a good choice for Riel to be given to these young heroes.
At this point, everyone could only accept the facts before them.
After a while, Huang Donglai left. Arriving in front of Tyrell's cage, he looked at the opponent and then said: "Hey, brother, can you speak our words? ”
After saying this, Tyrell, who was sitting in the cage, just continued to be in a daze with an indifferent expression, without even looking outside.
In fact, Tyrell also It's not that he doesn't understand Chinese at all. After all, he has been being resold back and forth in Dashu for nearly a year. He is exposed to it every day and has learned more or less, but he can't speak it well. The reason why he ignores people is because It's because all the Central Plains people he has met so far, whether they are good or bad, basically do not treat him as a human being, but only treat him as a "goods", so he has no hope for his own destiny. .
But, at this moment, Huang Donglai did something that made Tyrell almost suspect that he was hallucinating...
"Heyman, what's your name?" ”
