The wealthy businessman trembled when someone called him out, and then he suddenly raised his head.
The person who spoke was the person sitting on the left hand side of the young master. Judging from the seat, he should be the person with the highest status besides the young master.
The man looked white-haired, but his face was not very old, and overall he looked a bit decayed. The feeling between old and immortal was very strange.
The white-haired man stared at the wealthy businessman with a calm expression, showing no signs of calming down.
The wealthy businessman was hesitating whether to deny it or not. When he looked up, he saw several children beside the fire.
In fact, there were not many people around the fire. In addition to the young master and the two women, there were also two people with higher status, one old and one young, on the left and right. The old man was the weird white-haired man, and the young man was energetic.
There was a young man who seemed to possess special skills at first glance. He looked like a bodyguard or a guest, and there were also the two servants and four children who had just led him.
The four children, two boys and two girls, were no older than thirteen or fourteen. The youngest one was a girl who looked to be only seven or eight years old.
The clothes worn by the others, including the child servants, were at least made of fine cloth and were expensive. Only the four children were dressed in coarse cloth, which was quite shabby.
Two boys were cooking the barbecue nearby. One was stirring the fire and the other was brushing the oil. They were doing slave work. The two girls were curled up like quails. They were obviously at the age of gluttony and did not dare to look at the oily food.
, fragrant barbecue.
Could it be... a colleague?
But if those children are really relatives in the team, their treatment is too bad, but as slaves, their treatment is too good. Not to mention their clothes are neat, their complexion looks healthy, they wash their faces and comb their hair, and they don't wear chains.
Unlike ordinary slaves, wealthy merchants themselves would not treat "goods" like this anyway.
What if it is...a high-level slave?
Thinking of this, the wealthy businessman Bao Renwu pretended to blurt out: "Master, are you also going to attend the Deep Shadow Conference?"
Then he quickly lowered his head and said: "I'm rude, I'm rude."
Hearing this, the young master glanced at the white-haired man next to him and said, "So, are you really the one who brought 'high-end goods' to attend the Deep Shadow Club? Jin Yutang...Jin Yutang is..."
The white-haired man next to him explained: "It turned out to be a big business in Yunzhou, with business spread across seven counties, black and white, and gray. It did all kinds of business. Later, it violated the official taboo and was kicked out of Yunzhou. Now it is in Yanzhou
There is a grass-headed king over there, and he has returned to his old profession, and his life is quite comfortable."
The rich businessman kept smiling. Although the white-haired man meant it sarcastically, fortunately, there was no particularly great hostility. It didn't seem like he was gnashing his teeth and hating him. People under the roof could only smile.
The young master said to the two boy servants who were squatting by the fire: "Look, you saved someone and rescued someone. Isn't this your luck?"
The handsome boy asked: "Then bury it back?"
The wealthy businessman hurriedly said loudly: "Wait a minute, wait a minute! Master, save my life. I will be rewarded! It's available right now!"
The young master sniffed the barbecue served by a boy and said, "You are like this, what else is valuable? Even if there is, I can grill it myself."
The wealthy businessman said: "I have a favor to report! This news is very important to you! If you are also going to the Deep Shadow Conference, please be careful of sneak attacks by thieves!"
The handsome boy servant sneered: "Is he the one-legged thief who robbed you?"
The wealthy businessman said: "Not necessarily a one-legged thief, but a crazy woman, a very powerful, very powerful crazy woman!"
The young master said "Oh", raised his eyebrows, and said with interest: "Crazy woman... tell me in detail, how crazy is she? I have seen many crazy women, I have seen all kinds of crazy ones.
It depends on whether you are worthy of being called a crazy woman?"
When he said this, the white-haired man next to him glanced at him calmly.
The wealthy businessman was secretly surprised: What kind of hobby is watching crazy women? Just as he was about to speak, his stomach growled, and he suddenly felt weak. He said pitifully: "I haven't eaten for a day, so please give me some food."
The white-haired man next to him said calmly: "Sixteen, get him some."
The "Sixteen" he called was a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy who was grilling meat. After hearing this, the boy got up, took out a broken pottery bowl from somewhere, and poured half a bowl of paste from the jar next to the fire.
The porridge was delivered.
When the wealthy businessman saw this, he was very angry and said to himself: Okay, you give me the food of your slave? Do you think I am as lowly as you? A bastard like you, how can I eat the food of a slave like you?
I'm not worthy of handing things over. Which hand handed me the hand should be chopped off. Now I'm like a fallen phoenix, worse than a chicken?
But at this time, when the dog was being beaten to see its owner, of course he didn't dare to say anything and just glanced at the young man.
After looking at it for a few times, something moved in his mind, and he looked at it carefully again. The young man squinted his eyes and lowered his head.
That Bao Renwu suddenly said: "As expected of your distinguished young master, the goods in your hands are really of the highest quality! This good product is full of spirituality! In today's age, one hundred taels of silver may not be able to buy it. The goods I brought to you
Your shoes are not worthy either."
The young master said: "Oh? Do you know the goods?"
Bao Renwu said with a smile: "I have been doing business with my brother since I was sixteen years old. I have been in this business for more than thirty years. I have seen countless good products from all over the world. I don't dare to say that I have outstanding eyesight, but I have learned it through experience. Just you.
This child has good eyes, a good body, and outstanding spirituality. He will definitely be able to trade for a high price when he comes to the Deep Shadow Society. He even said that he will not sell it to the Deep Shadow Society or become a sword slave. He will sell it to other buyers and directly take him out to train him for a few years to become a heavyweight.
The sword that kills a man is also valuable."
The young master's heart moved and he said, "You are so good at fortune-telling that you can give fortune-telling to all the children here?"
Of course he was referring to the boys and girls in front of the fire. Bao Renwu also had the foresight to ask for the young master, and as a guest, he agreed and went to see another young man who was about the same age as Shiliu.
Looking at it like this, he couldn't help but marveled and said: "This one is good, it's on par with the one just now. Look at this spirituality, look at this appearance, look at this bone structure, it's a treasure from the open door! How did you find it? No wonder you are so big
I only took care of these few children all this time, so they must all be top-notch ones. The ones I have are just fake."
In fact, he also has a few high-end ones in his hands, which may not necessarily be bad, but now he can't get them back once they are gone, so he might as well use them to step up for the young master.
The young master smiled and said, "You don't need to look at boys. Anyone with eyes knows how good they are. What can you tell when you look at two girls?"
Bao Renwu turned to look at the two girls who were motionless and neither eating nor drinking.
Compared with the boys, the two girls are much younger. The older one is only in her early ten years, and the younger one is only seven or eight years old. They are both very cute.
Bao Renwu thought to himself: These two girls looked like they were children from good families, so they must not have been brought in seriously, but just for show business. This little brat is also a vegetarian.
However, the more he looked at these two girls, the more strange he became. He was said to have seen countless people, but he hesitated for a moment.
The young master kept staring at him and said, "What's wrong? You can't see it now? Is it just your eyesight?"
Bao Renwu did not dare to remain silent anymore and said: "Excuse me for being rude, these two children must have good looks and good bones. They will definitely be beautiful in the future, but they are not outstanding spiritually, right?"
He pointed at the slightly older one and said: "This lifeless one doesn't seem to have any luck. He seems to be mostly dead. His body is obviously still healthy, but his inside is very weak. His spirituality seems to be there but it seems that it has been polished off.
As if she was a sword slave before, right?"
The girl had obviously been in a daze. When Bao Renwu spoke, she gradually raised her eyebrows and her expression became a little lively, but then she lowered her head again.
Bao Renwu looked at the younger girl again, frowned and said, "This is even weirder. She seems to have no spirituality at all, and is very dull. It doesn't look like she was frightened. Are you a born fool?"
The little girl turned her head to look at him, then turned back numbly.
"If such a fool is born with strong inspiration, he can still be sold as a sword slave, but if he has no inspiration, it will be a real loss. Even if he sells it to Goulan, he won't be able to sell it at a high price."
At this time, the white-haired man seemed to chuckle and said: "I see, she is too stupid. You really have good eyesight, Sixteen, tear off a piece of flesh."
Bao Renwu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his excellent professional ability was recognized by the other party, and this camp might have room for him.
Sure enough, Shiliu over there cut off a large piece of lamb leg. The outside was already roasted and fragrant, and blood streaks could still be seen inside. Bao Renwu couldn't bear it anymore and started to eat it with big mouthfuls.
After all, he was a man who had been hungry all day. Bao Renwu wolfed down most of it in a short time, and then he heard the young master say: "You can talk about that crazy woman."
Bao Renwu hurriedly stopped, swallowed the meat in his mouth, and said: "Yes. That crazy woman, alas, I am unlucky. I will lead the team from Yanzhou and trek all the way to Liangzhou..."
The young master said: "Don't travel across mountains and rivers. Who hasn't traveled across mountains and rivers to get here? Let's get to the point."
Bao Renwu said: "Yes. I took the team to the Red Sheep Border Market eighty miles ahead to rest. In addition to food and accommodation, there is also a small market that specializes in the slave population on the grassland. I originally thought,
The slaves on this grassland are all very crude and stinky, and they smell like mutton. What good products are there? But before I left that day, I went shopping on a whim."
When he said this, he slapped his thigh with regret: "Why do you think I am so careless? I have never understood the meaning of extraneous matters in my life. If I didn't go, wouldn't there be so many things?"
He regretted for a moment, and then said: "I went to the market that day, and sure enough I didn't see any good stuff. Just as I was about to leave, I saw a self-sale. Self-sale is common in the Central Plains, especially in years of disaster.
During the season, there are a lot of people selling their sons and daughters to sell themselves. But this is rare in Liangzhou, because the barbarians snatched them away before they could be sold. So I took a look. That woman..."
He took two deep breaths and then continued: "I fell in love with that woman at first sight. She is about seventeen or eighteen, not to mention pretty, her eyes are spiritual, and she also reveals a stubborn spirit.
Anyone with such a good family is considered a fairy. And...she also has a very special gray hair."
