"Palace Master, do you mean that we want to buy those twenty slaves? With all due respect, this is not wise. There are many people from the Yingtian Empire among the Northern Wilderness barbarians. We cannot save them all with our own strength.
Yes, besides, we also have a mission now, just to save them, so what? Should we let them follow us?" After hearing what Ji You said, Xie Jian frowned directly, he did not expect that
How could Ji You have such unwise thoughts?
"Of course I understand what you said, and I also know that it is irrational to do so, but there are some unclear reasons. Moreover, I will only save this time. After the rescue, I will let them go to Tianbeiguan.
So don’t worry that they will affect our subsequent characters.” Ji You knew very well what Xie Jian was worried about, so she also explained.
"They won't survive Tianbei Pass. It's seven days' journey from Tianbei Pass, and that's still for us. At their speed, it's estimated to take more than ten days. On this road, as long as they meet people with high cultivation level,
If we cross their barbarian tribe, they will die without a burial place, and they may be recaptured as slaves, and our identity may be exposed." Xie Jian thought for a moment, and then immediately said, "In any case,
I don't agree to save them."
"Let Mang Dao take them back." At this moment, Ji You took a deep breath and said slowly.
After hearing his words, both Mang Dao, Xie Jian and Bai Lan were stunned for a moment. They didn't understand what Ji You meant for a while.
"Mangdao's current identity is a barbarian from a large tribe. He is leading those people in the direction of Tianbeiguan. Even if he is hit by other barbarians, there will be no problem. Besides, we don't want to fight to save them.
I have inquired clearly that they also use Xuanjing here. All they need is Mang Dao to bring enough Xuanjing to buy the slaves and then take them back to Tianbeiguan." Ji You thought for a moment, and then
He spoke.
This time the other three people also understood what Ji You meant. According to Ji You's idea, only Mangdao alone was needed to come forward. During this period of time, Ji You and the others would head directly towards Lake Crow City.
Go northeast. There will be marks along the way that are only recognized by the shadow guards. After Mangdao solves the problem of those slaves, he can just follow the marks along the way to find Ji You and the others.
In this way, there will be no problem with the safety of those slaves, and Mang Dao will only take them to a place not far from Tianbeiguan before returning, and there will be no problems with itself. And during the whole process, Ji You
None of them came forward. Once something happens, Mang Dao can directly return to Tianbei Pass, which will not have any impact on Ji You and the others' next mission.
"It's not that difficult, but, Palace Master, have you ever thought about whether those who have worked hard are willing to return to the empire? Even if I take them back to Tianbei Pass, they will have to stay in Tianbei Pass for at least a few years.
It takes time to leave Tianbei Pass. After all, there have been more than one betrayal by people within the Yingtian Empire before, so the empire is also very wary of these people who were captured by the barbarians." Mang Dao frowned slightly at this moment and spoke.
said.
The betrayals he mentioned did indeed happen many times, and the most influential one involved a general who was responsible for guarding Tianbei Pass. Not only did he betray the Yingtian Empire and join the barbarian Demon Blood Tribe, he also opened
He broke through the gate of Tianbei Pass and secretly attacked and killed the two generals who were guarding Tianbei Pass with him at that time, causing the barbarian army to invade and the northern part of the empire was devastated.
And that traitor is still alive today, and he took the daughter of the chief of the Demon Blood Tribe as his wife, becoming one of the great leaders of the Demon Blood Tribe, a super strong man in the Five Elements Realm, and was given the title of "Nightmare" as a barbarian.
To this day, there is a reward for this person in the Yingtian Empire. If his head is taken to the imperial capital, he will be rewarded with tens of millions of Xuanjing and be granted the title of Marquis.
You know, the last time Yi Jiyou participated in the auction, nine drops of Muhua Spiritual Liquid were only sold for tens of millions of Xuan Crystals, not to mention the position of Marquis. The Northern Marquis had great military exploits and was strong in the Five Elements Realm.
Among them, he was considered to be quite powerful, but he had only been awarded the title of Marquis. The traitor's head was the sum of the two. It is conceivable how much damage he had caused to the Yingtian Empire.
More importantly, he made the Yingtian Empire lose face. At least five or more Five Elements Realm experts went out of Tianbei Pass to chase him all the way, but they were saved by the Demon Blood Tribe.
Since that time, Nightmare has hardly appeared in front of the people of the Yingtian Empire, but his betrayal has brought with him a lot of knowledge about leading troops in combat and other aspects of the Yingtian Empire, which can be said to have helped the barbarians grow.
A lot. Moreover, because of him, more and more people rebelled from the Yingtian Empire and joined the barbarians.
Because of this, the reward for him is so high.
And because of the nightmare, all those who return to the Yingtian Empire from the Northern Wasteland, except for the shadow guards like Ji You and others who perform missions, will undergo several years of investigation at Tianbeiguan to determine
Only after they become traitors will they be allowed to return to the empire.
"In a few years, compared to the suffering in that dungeon, they should know which side they want. They are not betrayers, just prisoners." Ji You stood up slowly and said, "Just follow this
Do what I said. Today we will rest in the Lake Crow City. At dawn tomorrow, Mang Dao will buy those efforts and take them back to Tianbeiguan. We will head directly to the northeast and continue
Execute the mission.”
"Yes." Mang Dao and Xie Jian replied at the same time, and then returned to their respective rooms.
After they left, Bai Lan spoke up and said: "You always say that you are not a kind-hearted person, but sometimes you are still too kind-hearted. Maybe it's not that you are kind-hearted, but like you said, you can't say anything.
You know the reason." After finishing her words, Bai Lan smiled slightly, then turned around and walked towards her room.
After they all left, Ji You sat down slowly and said to himself: "I am indeed not a kind-hearted person. If I had not had a previous life, I would not have made these decisions. But it is precisely because of my previous life that I can leave
Until now, and continue to move towards her..."
As she finished speaking, Ji You raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a smile that she couldn't usually see at all. Then she closed her eyes and entered into practice...
