Chapter 2 Slaves

The strong wind swept through the night. On the next day, Gao Cheng opened his eyes and found that there were a few frozen corpses in the big tent. Soon after, several strong grassland barbarians came in. When they saw the corpse, they looked a little bad, and drove everyone in the tent out with impatient expression.

Gao Cheng followed everyone out of the tent silently. After walking out, his heart suddenly became clear. He saw the vast sky like blue gems, cloudless, and the sun shining on the boundless grassland below. Standing in the sun, it was warm, almost making people think that the cold wind of yesterday had never appeared.

The weather on the grassland is as elusive as the sea, especially in autumn and winter. Perhaps the sun shines high at noon and heavy snow will fall at night.

The tribe that has lived on the grassland since its birth is not at all strange about such weather. Thousands of people in the entire tribe have been busy all the time. The shepherds led cattle and sheep outside. About a thousand herders carried bows and arrows and scimitars, forming a team of cavalry patrolling outside.

"The people in this tribe seem to be very nervous?" Gao Cheng looked at the situation of the grassland tribe quietly. These herdsmen were packing their things very quickly. The singing and drinking last night was more like venting pressure.

Gao Cheng's thoughts kept moving, and he followed many captured men and women with Xiao Lucheng. Soon more than 200 prisoners were gathered.

Many women thought that these grassland people were going to kill them all. They were frightened and could not help crying in a low voice. Other men looked timid, just like fish on the chopping board, and were allowed to be slaughtered by these grassland people.

Xiao Lucheng's eyes showed a ruthless look, and exchanged a look with Gao Cheng, and his body bent slightly to prepare for the sudden rise. If these grassland people were not given a way out, they would never be left alone.

At this time, a shorter soldier came on a horse. Seeing the timid appearance of these prisoners, he couldn't help but show a disdainful look. He pointed to the horse whip in his hand and said in awkward Chinese words: "You all come here to work!"

A tribe of thousands of people began to migrate, and there were a lot of things to bring. More than a thousand cavalrymen needed to guard against foreign enemies, one person needed to guard cattle, sheep, horses, and the remaining women and children could not take away too much. Therefore, the people of this tribe were like using more than 200 captured prisoners, treating all the prisoners as human meat, mules and horses to transport supplies.

It turned out that they were not going to kill them! More than 200 prisoners were relieved and hurriedly followed the cavalry's orders, carrying heavy iron pots and rolled tents, and following the tribe to the north with difficulty.

Not far from more than 200 prisoners, more than a thousand cavalrymen were scattered and galloping on the vast grassland, looking vigilantly. The herdsmen on these grasslands were all born cavalry and had not received much training, but many elite soldiers were not opponents when charging forward.

"Brother Cheng, what should I do? These barbarian cavalry are too close to you and can't find a chance to escape!" Xiao Lucheng had a hint of impatientness on his face, and leaned over with a heavy thing on his back and said.

Gao Cheng's face was not good either. He came to this world to practice, not to act as a slave to these grassland people. However, at this time more than a thousand cavalry were not far away, and at this time he jumped out to seek death.

Facing the impact of a thousand-man cavalry, he will have a chance to survive unless he practices to the sixth level of strength training and becomes a steel and iron body.

He whispered: "Don't worry, if the tribes move, these cavalry will definitely divide a part of them to the front to act as scout vanguards, so as not to encounter any danger. As long as these cavalry disperse, our chance will come!"

Xiao Lucheng forced himself to endure it, vomited a heavy saliva on the ground, took a breath and continued to carry things on his back. Not long after, as Gao Cheng expected, more than a thousand cavalrymen in front were divided into three hundred and spread out and investigated in front.

There were still seven hundred grassland cavalry left, Gao Cheng frowned and shook his head gently, but he was still unsure of escaping from these people.

At this time, everyone had already walked nearly seven or eight miles. More than 200 prisoners blew the cold wind all night last night. They didn't eat anything this morning, so they were caught by the tribe to act as human flesh, mules and horses.

Originally afraid of the potential stimulated by being killed, they were constantly consumed during the step-by-step walking. Many people looked pale and were shaking all over. Several cavalrymen were responsible for guarding them. Seeing this situation, they immediately pulled out their whip and whipped wildly. They kept shouting and scolding.

"I can't walk anymore! I can't walk anymore!"

"Please be kind to you, so let's take a break before leaving!"

The two young men finally couldn't bear it, and collapsed to the ground with a pale face and gasped quickly. Two cavalrymen rushed over and beat them with a horse whip. The two of them rolled in pain and let out a burst of wail.

The short knight who had just given the order came on his horse, snorted coldly from his nose, pulled out a shaky scimitar, and said in Chinese with difficulty: "Get up! Otherwise, you will die!"

Xiao Lucheng clenched his fists, and could no longer bear it. He said angrily: "Even if it is a mule and a horse, it must be fed before letting it carry things. We were hungry all night and didn't eat anything in the morning. Now you still have to carry such heavy things. Are you trying to exhaust us to death?"

The short knight didn't seem to have expected anyone to stand up. He was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flashed with a sharp look and said, "It's just some Han slaves, and they will die if they die! Your life is not as good as cows and sheep! The milk of cows and sheep can raise the eagles in the large tribe and make them grow into warriors. What can you slaves do? Are you wasting food?"

Xiao Lucheng was so angry that the scars on his face kept shaking, and he didn't care at all that the other party regarded him as a Han. When the other prisoners saw Xiao Lucheng coming forward to negotiate with the other party, they were originally looking forward to it. When they heard the words of the short knight, their faces suddenly turned pale.

It turned out that their lives were not as good as those of cattle, sheep, mules and horses in the eyes of the people of this tribe. Among the more than 200 captives, a gentle young man clenched his fists and said with hatred: "Barish barbarians are really barbarians..."

"Everyone has heard that these barbarians have no intention of letting us survive. It's better to fight together! If you fight with these barbarians, you may have a chance to survive!"

Xiao Lucheng threw the things on his body to the ground and screamed. In his opinion, as long as more than 200 people launched an attack at the same time, it would definitely disrupt the sight of these cavalrymen, and he would be able to rush out in the chaos.

However, his plan failed and he let him scream. The other two hundred people did not react at all. The gentle young man who had cursed hatred and cursed just now took two steps back.

Seeing this, the short cavalry and other cavalry laughed loudly. The herdsmen from the tribes not far away saw the excitement here and surrounded some people. After knowing what happened, they also pointed at more than 200 Han prisoners and smiled freely. If they were so humiliated, they would have rushed out to fight against the enemy, and even if they died together, they would have to regain their dignity.

Only these Han slaves would obey and would not dare to resist even if they were stepped on the soil.
