491: One Hundred Thousand Banners to Kill Yama (Part 6) [Please vote for me]
Everything is silent and it is dark in the middle of the night.
There is a slave market in the corner of Shiwu King's capital.
It is specially designated for the business of buying and selling slaves. As the center of the entire Shiwu political power, the nobles of the royal capital have a huge demand for slaves. Slaves are also classified into different categories according to age, gender, age, body shape, appearance and other standards.
For example, young and beautiful women were bought to serve as female slaves, while young and strong men were bought to be used as hard labor.
There are also slaves who are thrown into fighting beasts and pushed into the Colosseum to fight with the beasts to the death. The rich and powerful place bets for entertainment. The slaves are also forced to use their bodies to serve the ferocious beasts that have been trained. The nobles sit on the high platform and enjoy the slaves tearing them apart.
Heartbreaking screams.
Slaves are the lowest existence in Shiwu.
They are not considered human beings.
Killing them certainly doesn't count as murder.
Killing a slave is as casual as breaking a bowl you don't like, just buy a replacement after he dies.
Therefore, the turnover of slaves here is very fast.
Except for the slaves, the people who care for the slaves, and the people who purchase the slaves, no outsiders usually come here. Firstly, this place is remote and desolate; secondly, the surrounding environment is filthy and smelly, and you can see the feces and urine of slaves in any corner.
Fortunately, it is still the twelfth lunar month of winter.
If it is the dog days of summer, the weather is hot and the sun is shining brightly, these feces and urine will be fermented and then dispersed into the air...
You can smell it from a distance of three to five feet and make people vomit.
How could a high-ranking dignitary stoop to visit?
Even the defense is the most lax.
Because the slaves didn't dare to escape.
If you don't run away, you can live longer. Once you run away and are caught, the fate will be worse than death, and you will undergo inhuman torture before death. On one occasion before, the slave owner ordered the escaped slave to be skinned from head to toe.
A long gash was made, and mercury was poured into the wound on the head. The escaped slave was in unbearable pain. He struggled to escape, and actually peeled off a piece of human skin alive!
The slaves watching the execution were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
As soon as night fell, the slaves would obediently return to their tents, hugging the moldy and tattered thin quilt, and try to curl up and fall asleep.
A small tent can sleep thirty or forty people.
Fortunately, there were many people who could keep warm, so we didn't freeze to death.
Rustling, rustling.
The slightest sound was particularly clear in this silent night. The slave near the edge of the tent tightened the tattered clothes around his body, reluctantly turned over, pushed away the smelly feet of someone who was on his face, and closed his eyes.
continue to sleep.
Half a while passed.
Outside the camp, very far away——
The sound of extremely light footsteps passed by my ears like the wind, and the sound of the night wind blowing through the wild grass was louder than the sound it made.
No one knew it, but figures emerged from the ground one after another.
"Bah, it stinks!"
The stench that hits your face is powerful.
"Is this a hole dug?"
The complaint was as light as if it were held in the mouth.
No one heard it except the owner of the voice.
One after another, people climbed out of the hidden holes. Their clothes and exposed skin were deliberately dirty. In addition, most ordinary people had night blindness, which allowed them to blend in perfectly into the night and sneak around quietly. Come in.
At a rough count, there are more than 500 people.
The leaders are naturally the brave Xu Quan, who is an expert in martial arts, and the indifferent Bai Su. Shen Tang was not prepared to let Bai Su sneak into the city at first, not because he did not trust her ability, but because she had only been practicing martial arts for a short time, and there were many people in the city. There are many dangers and many variables.
She is ready to cultivate Bai Su.
Wouldn't it be a pity if it were folded here?
Bai Su naturally refused to agree.
She said in a deep voice: [My lord has good intentions and takes it with all his heart, but throughout the ages, no military general has made great achievements without taking risks. Which of them doesn't put their heads in their belts? How can a junior general with a weak body make the lord partial? 】
Even if she is partial, it is because of her military achievements.
Today's Bai Su thinks he is not qualified.
[I sincerely request my lord to let the last general go into battle!]
Shen Tang opened his mouth.
After a while, he finally sighed and agreed.
She said: "That's fine, but the city is dangerous, so be careful. I know you have traveled around the world since you were a child, and you don't need my repeated warnings, but there is one thing you must keep in mind - you are a pure jade, filled with brilliance. Don’t take yourself lightly!]
Bai Su is a precious piece of uncut jade, and her importance to Shen Tang is much greater than she thought!
Bearing the noise in his chest, Bai Su answered.
【only!】
This time the infiltration was led by Xu Quan and assisted by Bai Su.
Just wait for the order from outside the city and take action.
Xu Quan squeezed his shoulders and said with a smile: "Today I can finally go on a killing spree. I have been digging holes for half a month, and my skills as a housekeeper are almost getting old." He didn't want his cousin to write a letter to his family next time and ask him if he had any. Not making any progress, he replied that he was good at digging holes.
If this were the case, his cousin could come over and chop him down.
With a cold face, Bai Su quietly broke the neck of a slave guard who had woken up at night and hid the limp body.
"Don't take it lightly!"
Xu Quan was not afraid of her either.
After getting along with him for a long time, he found that Bai Su is a typical person who is cold on the outside but hot on the inside. He talks tough but is very considerate in his actions. Although he is younger than him, his behavior is extremely mature. Xu Quan smiled and said with a smile: "Military merit comes first. , it’s inevitable to be excited.”
Bai Su pursed her lips.
actually--
She was also very excited.
In the past, she had attacked those tribes and won many military honors, but she always felt that something was missing. This time when she came to Shiwu King's capital, the center of Shiwu's political power was at her feet, but she was able to lead people to sneak in quietly and defeat the enemy. The base camp is swaggering.
The experience is completely different.
Xu Quan still wanted to say a few words of laughter to relieve the tension, but suddenly he felt something, his expression suddenly became serious, and he raised his hand.
He said in a deep voice: "It's coming!"
Bai Su and others tensed their nerves.
Their location has been carefully calculated. The earth dragon will be least affected when it rolls over. The terrain is wide and there are no guards to patrol. When chaos occurs, they can set fire to intercept and kill them all the way. Use the intentional to defeat the unintentional, use fast to defeat the slow, and expand the victory!
Almost at the moment Xu Quan's voice fell, deep in the ground beneath their feet, several different black and white literary auras quickly filled every part of the cave, one of which was particularly strong. In the darkness, there seemed to be a ferocious beast opening its eyes.
Bloody eyes.
Outside the royal city.
Jiang Sheng looked at the city wall on the horizon with cold eyes, opened his thin lips and said: "It's dotted all over the place!"
If you can see the distribution of underground cultural atmospheres, you will find that they are criss-crossed in an orderly manner, and several cultural atmospheres are tacitly transformed into a chessboard. On the chessboard, strange phenomena occur frequently, wind, fire, thunder and lightning sweep wildly, and finally condense into a giant lying on the board.
dragon.
"cut!"
One word fell.
The dragon's body was broken into two parts.
An earth-shaking roar, like the roar of a giant dragon before its death, erupted from the ground upwards. The cave collapsed instantly and the ground sank. Steaming fireworks rushed out from every crack, and at this time, the wind blew from nowhere.
Fire borrows the wind!
At the same time, one of the fire pillars soared into the sky, emitting the most dazzling five-color light at the highest point.
With the fire pillar as the center, the fist-sized sparks gave rise to two, then three, until they covered the entire sky.
Countless flames fell from the sky.
Those who are lucky enough to see this scene will never forget it.
