Lin Mengya and others had speculated before that Weiguo's original model might be a reduced upper state.
As the saying goes, what goes up and what follows leads to imitation. Maybe the people on this continent at that time imitated what went up.
It was just because the power of Wei State was not strong enough at that time, and the power of Jin State and other countries was not that different compared to Wei State, so although there were slave traders, they were not as rampant and prosperous as Shanjin.
Thinking of this, a very dangerous idea suddenly flashed through Lin Mengya's mind.
For people on this side of Shangjing, the existence of Weiguo is special.
If it weren't for that inexplicable restriction, Weiguo might have been Yaoshan long ago.
However, the state of Wei later became a mess, which must have something to do with the people in the upper realm. The Weiguo she saw in ancient books was not what it looks like now.
I don’t know what kind of person he is, but he actually planned carefully and spent so many years to turn Weiguo into the second upper realm. ??
So what is the other party’s purpose?
The things here must be extremely complicated. Lin Mengya reassured herself not to be anxious. It was already here anyway and she would definitely be able to find out the truth.
According to the girl's account, Lin Mengya and the others knew that these slaves basically came from around Yaoshan Mountain.
They are in the east of the Northern Territory, and there are many more islands there than here.
Lin Mengya thought for a while and then asked, "Then there is no successful resistance here? Or, since you said that there are big and small islands, there must be people on the larger islands who are not willing to become other people's slaves, right?"
The girl thought about it carefully before replying, "Yes, there are. But I heard from the clan leader that all those people have green faces and fangs, and they like to drink human blood and eat human flesh. So those who take photos only see them.
If you can stay away, you won't dare go there to cause trouble."
Lin Mengya didn't expect that there were real cannibals in this world!
Ah, no, even cannibals can't resist these slave traders, right?
So there must be some problems here.
Then she asked the most important question, "You just said you wanted me to save you. Even if I rescue you, where can you escape to? After all, you don't even have a home."
These words directly hurt the girl's heart. She started to cry again, but she said firmly, "Then I would rather go to that man-eating island and be used as a livestock by those people! At least they only eat
people without humiliating me."
Lin Mengya shook her head, thinking that this girl was still naive. If she really was a cannibal, I'm afraid she would come out of the wolf den again.
Entered the tiger's mouth.
Lin Mengya saw that Ah Qing seemed to have something to say to her, so she signaled Qinghu to continue. She waved and took Ah Qing out of the cabin, ensuring that no one inside could hear what was going on outside.
Only then did Ah Qing pour out all the words he had been holding back.
"Miss Huo, I think we can send them to that island."
Lin Mengya frowned slightly and said, "You just heard that the people on that island may be cannibals. If we send them there, wouldn't they be used as food for others?"
She also thought that if it didn't work out, she would first find a way to hide them on the boat, and then wait until they found a place to settle them on the shore.
But after thinking about it, I felt that it was not appropriate. There were at least several hundred slaves.
Not to mention whether these hundreds of people can hide on the ship, even if they can hide, will they be safe enough to find a place later?
If someone discovers that these people may be runaway slaves, then there will be endless trouble waiting for them. She can help these people, but the prerequisite is that she cannot get herself into them.
Regarding this point, Lin Mengya was very clear-headed from beginning to end.
But Ah Qing said, "Actually, everyone has misunderstood! They don't eat people at all. If the girl hadn't mentioned it just now, I wouldn't have remembered it at all. There are people from this island in our gang, and they are all very good."
Yeah! They really don’t eat human beings, even pork and beef.”
Lin Mengya didn't expect such an unexpected surprise, so she quickly pulled Ah Qing to sit down and the two of them talked for a while before she figured out the true situation of the island.
It turns out that because this island is relatively close to the Southern Territory, the folk customs are more fierce. After all, the people in the Southern Territory are not easy to deal with.
It’s even more because there is a unique iron ore on their island. The hardness of this iron ore is very high. Only the people on this island know how to smelt this iron ore. Relying on this iron ore resource, they and Nan
The domain can be considered to be in peace.
With iron ore, they naturally have the sharpest weapons.
In addition, this group of people are very united and very exclusive, so people in the Southern Territory do not dare to provoke them easily.
Even if they are greedy for this kind of iron ore, once they capture this island, the price they will pay will be huge. It would be bad if it is annexed by their enemies at this time.
Of course, they have not thought of uniting all the families to take down this island first, but where is the Southern Territory?
This is the most chaotic and darkest gathering place among the four realms.
There is no moral justice here, and there is no trust at all. Today, the two of them are as good as brothers in life and death. Maybe tomorrow they can pick up a knife and stab each other.
Therefore, they simply did not trust other people and could not reach cooperation. In the end, they could only look at the iron ore with envy, but could not do anything.
"The status of our two brothers on the island is not low!" Ah Qing thought of this as if he thought of something interesting, and said with a smile, "But I don't know if they are on the iron ore island because of too much Yang Qi.
There are very few women who have serious relationships."
"So the people on their island are kicked out for training after they reach adulthood. This is also to let them find a wife. If they find a wife, they can go back. If they can't find a wife, they can't return to the island until they are twenty-five years old.
"
Lin Mengya retreated a little when she heard this, "But Ah Qing, if we send these girls over to be their wives, what's the difference between them and slave traders?" ??
Ah Qing didn't quite understand what she said, "But being a daughter-in-law is definitely different from being a slave! At least they won't be beaten, and no one will bully them."
Lin Mengya knew that A Qing did not have bad intentions. Perhaps from a certain perspective, it was better to consider being a wife of this group of people than being a slave of a group of people, but what about the wishes of these girls?
No one has ever asked them whether they want to leave their hometown? Do they want to see their relatives die in front of them?
Do you want to be someone else's slave? Do you want to be someone else's wife?
They were just like objects, plundered from home. If she rescued these girls and sent them to another group of people, then there would be no essential difference between her and those slave traders.
The so-called rescuing people is just another form of abduction.
Lin Mengya did not tell Ah Qing those long stories, but directly asked, "If you were asked to be a stranger's wife now, would you be willing? Maybe he will be nice to you, maybe he will
I love and care for you very much. But you don’t know him, and you don’t even know whether he is round or flat, handsome or ugly. Are you willing to do this?"
Ah Qing wanted to say something, but she soon realized something was wrong.
Lin Mengya knew that when talking to this girl, she had to be straightforward, and she must not make any detours with her, otherwise she would not be able to make detours.
I couldn't get around it for half a day.
"If it were me in the past, I might be willing, but now I'm not willing." Ah Qing said firmly, with a hint of apology in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Miss Huo, what I just said is true"
Lin Mengya patted her shoulder and said softly, "I can't blame you for this. Besides, I know your intentions are good. You just want them to have a safe home, right?"
Ah Qing nodded fiercely, she felt that Miss Huo was really her confidant and actually knew everything!
Lin Mengya sighed, "So if we go against their wishes and send people there, it will only make them slightly better off than being sold as slaves, then why do we go to such great lengths to do this?
"
Ah Qing scratched his head and insisted, "I think we can still send them to that island. Miss Huo, don't get me wrong, I don't have to let them become wives for others, but if we bring them
Keep an eye on them, if someone discovers us, it will be too late for so many of us to run away."
Lin Mengya also thinks that the iron ore island is a good place, but she must not go there in the name of sending her daughter-in-law away.
"By the way, are the two little brothers from the island here with us?"
She feels that she can first look at the other person's character before making other decisions.
Ah Qing nodded, "Yes, yes! I'll call them over right now, just wait!"
Ah Qing went there in a hurry, and within a few minutes he brought over two good-looking, honest-looking men.
Lin Mengya has observed these two people. They both have very strong and powerful physiques, worthy of being poured from iron ore, and they look very "hard".
There are two people, one is named Tie Da and the other is named Tie Er.
The two brothers joined the Yinghong Gang because of an accident, and because their temperaments were not suitable for fighting, they had always done some physical work.
The two of them were a little embarrassed when they saw Lin Mengya.
After all, there is no such handsome girl even on their island!
It would be great if they could find such a beautiful wife, but they just thought about it in their hearts and did not dare to have such delusions.
Lin Mengya roughly observed the personalities of the two brothers. Their eyes were very clear and upright, but they also looked a bit naive. They didn't look like the kind of treacherous and evil people.
So, she asked some questions about the two brothers.
