Chapter 74 [The world is as black as crows] Part 1
"Tang Lie, you bastard," Sharaman was scolding Tang Lie even in his sleep. Xuan'er couldn't help but laugh. She wiped the sweat from Sharaman's forehead with a cool towel.
Salaman suddenly grabbed her catkins and screamed in horror.
Xuan'er comforted her softly: "Everything is over, you are safe now,"
Salaman opened her beautiful eyes with lingering fear. They shone like emeralds in the darkness. Two tears still remained on her pretty face. She whispered: "Miss Xuan'er,"
Xuan'er nodded and opened the car curtain casually. The night breeze sneaked in quietly from the window: "Did you have a nightmare just now?"
Salaman nodded and then blushed. Fortunately, under the cover of the night, Xuan'er would not see her. She had just dreamed of a man walking towards her naked and wanting to rape her. It was even more ridiculous. What's surprising is that the man turned out to be Tang Lie. Naturally, she couldn't say this kind of thing. She adjusted her emotions and then said: "Where am I?"
"On the way to Piaoxiang City,"
Salaman calmed down a little. She thought she was being sent to the castle. After rubbing her numb legs, Salaman said decisively: "Stop the car, I want to leave here."
Xuan'er whispered: "It's quiet at night, where can you go as a girl?"
"I can go anywhere, but I don't want to see that annoying guy Tang Lie," Salaman said angrily.
Xuan'er laughed, she had rarely seen someone hate Tang Lie so much.
Salaman's voice spread outside the car along with the night wind, and just reached the ears of Tang Lie who was riding beside the car.
Tang Lie couldn't help but laugh. He drove the car to the window of the carriage and leaned over: "Sarahman, it seems that it's not good to talk about people's rights and wrongs behind their backs,"
Salaman rushed over angrily, sticking his pretty face out of the car window and almost colliding with Tang Lie's nose: "That annoying guy,"
Tang Lie laughed loudly: "Salaman, the place ahead is where we camp. If you really want to leave, I will have people prepare horses and food for you right away."
Everyone was camping in the open woods. Tang Lie took the Pu Gang brothers to inspect the surrounding environment and made sure that there was nothing unusual. Then they came to Salaman and Xuan'er, staring at them with piercing eyes. Salaman, Salaman looked at him without giving an inch.
Tang Lie said loudly: "Pu Gang, go and prepare a fast horse for this young lady, and then get enough food and gold coins to send her away."
Xuan'er waved desperately to Tang Lie behind Salaman. She knew that Salaman had a stubborn temperament. If Tang Lie treated her like this, it would be like forcing her away in disguise.
Salaman's emerald eyes flashed with angry flames: "Tang Lie, what do you mean?"
Tang Lie sneered: "It's not interesting, I just want to send you back so that you don't have to be wary of me all the time."
But Salaman suddenly laughed: "The more you ask me to go back, the more I won't go back. Why should I obey your arrangements? I want to see how you dare to deal with me."
Ya Yi'an couldn't help it any longer and burst into laughter. Now he could see that Salaman didn't want to leave here at all. Apart from his tough words, in fact, he had already surrendered to Tang Lie in his heart. This guy Tang Lie There are indeed some ways to deal with women.
Sharaman glared at Ya Yi'an fiercely. Xuan'er was worried that she would make Tang Lie angry again, so she gently pulled her sleeves and invited her to admire the moon in the open space ahead. Sharaman was surprisingly obedient this time. , followed Xuan'er and walked away quietly.
Ya Yi'an gave Tang Lie a thumbs up and whispered: "I'm starting to admire you,"
Tang Lie smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Follow me and you can learn a lot of things."
Ya Yi'an nodded and looked serious: "Yes, my bragging skills have improved a lot now,"
Tang Lie raised his middle finger fiercely at him: "Fuck,"
Piaoxiang City is the political and economic center of the Lande Empire, and it is also one of the cities with the longest history in this country. When entering Piaoxiang City, Tang Lie immediately felt the difference between this place and the Xuanwu Empire, because the Lande Empire was in the same relationship with the Xuanwu Empire. Victories continued to be achieved in the war, and the faces of the people were filled with joy. It seemed that the war did not have much impact on this land.
Sharaman and Xuan'er looked at the prosperous and lively scenes on both sides of the street. It was their first time to come to this world-famous ancient city, and they were very curious about everything they saw. From time to time they pointed and shouted. A burst of cheerful laughter.
What Ya Yi'an is most concerned about is whether his remaining goods can be sold at a good price. Because he has been to Piaoxiang City before, he has some understanding of the environment here. He took Tang Lie and his party to a store in Dongcheng called ' After staying at Sis' hotel, he didn't bother to rest, so he asked Pugang and others to sort out the goods for him, load them into the carriage, and walk to the trading city not far from here.
The structure of the whole city of Piaoxiang City is somewhat like a plum blossom. The center of the plum blossom is their political center. The southernmost part of the plum blossom is the divine city, which is also where the Tianmiao, which symbolizes the highest divine power, is located. On both sides of the religious city are the urban areas where nobles and wealthy businessmen are located. , although the two areas at the bottom are not large, they have the largest population. They are where ordinary people live, and the other is the urban area where Tang Lie and the others are located, which is the temporary residence and fragrance of foreign merchants. The trading center of the city.
Because he had just arrived in this city, Tang Lie also showed great interest and offered to accompany Ya Yi'an to the Trade City to experience the local customs and customs. Sharaman and Xuan'er were also very interested. Follow them through.
As time went by, the relationship between Salaman and Tang Lie became much more harmonious. Although they still often contradicted each other during conversations, they were no longer as incompatible as they were at the beginning.
Walking into the narrow and crowded streets of the trading city, Tang Lie understood that no matter in the Xuanwu Empire or the Lande Empire, the most important trading commodity was slaves. No wonder Ya Yi'an had a different attitude toward him for easily granting freedom to the half-elves. Viewed, what he did meant losing a lot of money to Ya Yi'an.
Ya Yi'an found the shop he had contacted in the past and sold all the goods he had snatched from Ma Xingkong. Although the price was slightly lower than the market value, it saved a lot of trouble, not to mention that all these goods were If you get it with nothing, no matter how much you sell, it will be a profit.
Looking at the six full money bags on the carriage, Ya Yi was so happy that his eyes narrowed to a slit. Fortunately, he was not carried away yet. He whispered to Tang Lie in a low voice: "When we get back to the hotel, we brothers will divide the money equally. ,"
Tang Lie smiled indifferently and suddenly realized that Xuan'er and Sharaman had gone somewhere. He hurriedly asked Pu Gang and others to search separately. Soon he found Xuan'er and Sharaman standing in front of the slave market, the beauty of the two women There was inexplicable anger in his eyes.
Tang Lie came behind them and looked towards the auction stage in front, only to see seven beautiful girls standing on the auction stage. Perhaps because of the torture, most of their clothes were filthy, and the damaged areas showed white. The delicate skin, exposed arms and thighs are covered with scars.
Ever since he came to the mainland of Grandia, Tang Lie had become familiar with the buying and selling of slaves. When he first came here, he had personally experienced the buying and selling process. Although he sympathized with these slaves, he was unable to help them.
A short slave trader screamed: "Look carefully, everyone, the goods I brought this time are all first-class beauties. Look at their figures, each one will make you ecstasy,"
"Asshole," Salaman cursed indignantly. The sound at the scene was too noisy, covering her voice and not attracting the attention of the people on the stage.
The slave owner clapped his hands vigorously, and two tall black men walked out from behind. Their limbs and chests were all covered with thick black hair. They were second-generation hybrids of bloodthirsty orangutans, both in body and shape. They are all one size smaller than real mixed-race orangutans, so they are still outstanding among ordinary humans.
The two orangutans each grabbed a female slave, and at the slave owner's gesture, they suddenly tore off the dress of the female slave. As the two female slaves screamed in horror, their crystal bodies were immediately exposed to the public.
The two female slaves each spread a pair of white wings behind them. They turned out to be from the Wing Clan. Xuan'er's ice-blue beautiful eyes were filled with tears of humiliation. She bit her lower lip tightly, seeing her sisters of the same race being humiliated in front of everyone. , the pain in my heart has reached the extreme.
Salaman was about to rush onto the stage impulsively, but was stopped by Tang Lie. Every place has its fixed rules, and breaking them recklessly will only lead to bad consequences.
The slave owner smiled lewdly and said: "You see clearly, they are all genuine beauties from the Wing Tribe. Haha, I'm afraid they are rare in the Lande Empire."
Regardless of Tang Lie's obstruction, Salaman scolded loudly: "Are you a human being? Do you have a mother, a wife and a daughter? If it were your daughter standing on the stage, would you let her be insulted?"
Tang Liehu's eyes showed admiration. Although Salaman had a savage temperament, she was actually a kind-hearted girl.
The slave owner looked at the audience with gloomy and resentful eyes, and he said coldly: "Two hundred gold coins,"
Four burly orangutans separated from the crowd and walked towards Tang Lie's position. It was obvious that they would not give up.
Tang Lie winked, and the Pugang Puni brothers and the two half-elf warriors strode forward to greet them. People around them tried to get out of their way. In an era where force was valued, only fists were the real king.
Although the four orangutans were tall and strong, their physical flexibility was far inferior to that of the well-trained half-elves. In just two rounds, the four half-elves warriors had knocked them to the ground neatly. If not Tang Lie stopped them in time, and they had already broken the necks of these low-level hybrid orcs.
"Two hundred gold coins per person, I bought it," a fat middle-aged businessman said loudly.
Tang Lie nudged Ya Yi'an with his elbow, signaling him to bid for those Wing Clan girls.
Ya Yi'an looked at Tang Lie with a grimace, knowing that Tang Lie's decision would not change, so he could only grit his teeth and shout: "Two hundred and one gold coins,"
Tang Lie looked at him angrily.
The businessman bid again: "Two hundred and fifty gold coins,"
"Two hundred and fifty-one..." Ya Yi'an was already feeling heartache. In his mind, these Wing Clan girls were not worth the price at all.
"Three hundred gold coins," the businessman seemed to be competing with Ya Yi'an.
Ya Yi'an looked at Tang Lie pleadingly, and Tang Lie grabbed his arm, raised it and shouted loudly: "Five hundred gold coins," when Ya Yi'an heard this number, she was so heartbroken that she almost fainted on the spot.
Both Salaman and Xuan'er cheered for Tang Lie's righteous deed.
The high price made the businessman give up the competition completely.
The slave owner looked at the four orangutans who had returned in embarrassment, then looked at Tang Lie, and finally nodded and said: "Three thousand five hundred gold coins, deal done, all seven Wing Clan girls are yours."
A cold voice sounded from behind: "Whatever they pay, I will double the price."
Tang Lie never expected that when everything was almost a foregone conclusion, another Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway. He turned around and saw a man in black warrior uniform standing calmly not far away. The man's hair was as white as snow, his eyebrows were dazzling silver, and his gloomy eyes were red, revealing an extremely cold gaze.
Tang Lie's heart was shocked. This man was actually the samurai who controlled the giant mechanical monster during the battle at Huju Pass. His archery skills were outstanding. Tang Lie witnessed him shoot Fina's beloved mount Heixue. If If the golden dragon had not appeared in time, he and Fina would have been poisoned by this person.
The man stared at Tang Lie with his gloomy eyes for a long time, which made Tang Lie even have the illusion that he had been recognized by him. Fortunately, he finally shifted his gaze to the high platform and said coldly: "You heard what I said. ,"
The slave owner was smiling with a servile look on his face: "I heard it, I heard it. If General Ge has any instructions, I will do it. These female slaves of the Wing Clan all belong to you..."
Salaman said angrily: "Why are you going back on your word? According to the rules of the imperial market, once the deal has been completed, you must not go back on it,"
The white-haired man glanced at Sharaman coldly, and then his eyes fell on Xuan'er. The sinister look made Xuan'er subconsciously hide behind Tang Lie.
Tang Lie had already been aroused by his arrogance. He stared at him coldly and said, "This general doesn't seem to understand the principle of not seeing anything inappropriate."
The white-haired man nodded slowly, and put his hands behind his back: "I will give these slave girls to you, but... I hope you will be honest in Piaoxiang City, and never let me catch you. ,otherwise I will never let you go,"
