Two beauties covered with gauze danced a song on the stage, then retreated lightly to the backstage, and several young women in Roman costumes were pulled onto the stage.
As soon as the two beauties arrived backstage, a stout and burly man came up to them and handed each of them a fat leather robe. The two women took it and put it on their bodies. They immediately pulled the leather robe tightly with their arms and looked at their clothes carefully.
His lips were already blue from the cold.
The fat slave owner did not come on stage. At this time, it was one of his stewards who was bragging about the beauty of the female slaves on the stage. He came close to the two women and said angrily: "You two girls, with your beauty, you could have...
I have been favored by the richest and most powerful people in the local area, but the conditions you put forward... There are only a few caravans traveling to the desert to go to the sandbank every year. In addition, as the war is approaching, some desert merchants have canceled their trips to the sandbank.
Trade, if you continue like this, you may miss the opportunity to enjoy prosperity..."
Before he finished speaking, one of the girls said coldly: "Thank you for your kindness. I think we will always find a suitable buyer. We will not change our original intention!"
The fat slave owner stamped his foot heavily and said: "What a stubborn girl. Well, I just heard that there was a group of businessmen from Shazhou yesterday afternoon. I went to talk to them. Maybe there will be one among them."
I am willing to buy you..."
As soon as he said this, a steward led Ah-Dai over hurriedly: "Master, someone is willing to buy them, and they fully meet the requirements!"
"What?"
The fat slave owner and the two girls looked at him with surprise in their eyes.
Dumb pushed the steward aside and said in an arrogant tone: "These two women are very mediocre in appearance, average in figure, and they don't dance very well. Originally, my master didn't like them, but I heard
After talking about them, my master was very moved by their kindness and righteousness, so he was willing to do good deeds and reluctantly bought them. How much do you want to bid? If it is too high, our master..."
Before he finished speaking, a big hand stretched out from behind his shoulder and pushed him aside, and a firm voice came out: "I will buy the two girls no matter how high they bid, and I will pay them as agreed."
You take them back to Shazhou and help you find your relatives!"
Xia Xun appeared. He stared deeply at the two girls, with uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.
Dui slapped himself on the forehead and squatted on the ground in frustration.
He felt that this businessman was the stupidest person he had ever met in his life!
Dumb thought with tears in his eyes: "This is not how business is done!"
Soon, Dumb's frustration turned into joy, because even though his employer said stupid things about buying it no matter how much it cost, the price the two women asked for was very fair, and it was only equivalent to the fat slave owner rushing to give it.
One-tenth of the price, this is really a fool's blessing.
Dumb stared at the deed of sale for a moment. It was not until the two girls pressed their fingerprints on the deed of sale that he breathed a long sigh of relief and glanced proudly at the frustrated slave owner.
Xia Xun took the two women and a fierce-looking Mongolian man back to the tavern, and then asked Ah-Dai to take the slaves back to the inn first. Ah-Dai happily left with the few slaves he bought.
In the corner of the tavern, only Xia Xun, Liu Yujue and the two men and women were left.
As soon as Dumb left, the two women rushed to Xia Xun's side, their trembling voices filled with endless joy: "Master, is it really you?"
Xia Xun was also very excited. It was hard to describe how he felt when we met again after the disaster. He nodded vigorously and said repeatedly: "It's me! It's me! Of course it's me. I just haven't shaved my beard, so I don't recognize it."
Am I dead?"
The two girls hugged Xia Xun's arms tightly and cried excitedly.
At this time, the strong and burly man had tears in his eyes. He took two steps forward and whispered to Xia Xun: "My lord, we are still worried...worried that something will happen to the lord. Unexpectedly...unexpectedly, not only is the lord safe, but he is also safe."
Well, we can still meet here!"
This big man stood like a mountain and bowed like a pine tree. His military movements were obvious. Xia Xun immediately glanced around alertly and said, "Sit down. It's not convenient to be polite here. Please sit down!"
Several people understood and sat down around the wine table. Xilin and Jeanne still subconsciously held Xia Xun's arms tightly, as if he would disappear if they let go.
After placing the side dishes on the plate, he ordered a small bucket of fine grape wine. Then he patted the backs of Siren and Jeanne's hands comfortingly and asked them: "Why are you living here? Where's Sai'er? Is anyone watching?"
?”
Siren and Jeanne were so excited that they couldn't calm down for a while, and they were still sobbing a little. The big Mongolian man, Saihazhi, sighed and replied on their behalf: "My lord, that's how it is..."
It turned out that Sehazhi protected Sirin and Jeanne and broke out first, while Xia Xun and his twelve cavalry stayed behind to block them, making them the first team to escape the siege. However, Tamerlane's cavalry followed.
They were broken into pieces and searched the desert. Although the camels and horses of Timurid's cavalry were not as fast as those they rode, they had both camels and horses, so they could switch when the mounts were tired, so the speed was not much different. In the end,
Still, a few cavalry squads met them by mistake.
They fought and walked, and also knew that the direction to Hami would attract the most attention, and the way back to the sandbank was too far. The only feasible options were to enter the desert to the west, or to escape to the Majong Mountain to the east. Initially, Sehazhi chose
They fled eastward toward Mount Majong, but because they broke out from the southwest corner and Mount Majong was in the northeast, they had to turn back.
After some detours, they broke into the key search area of Timur's cavalry. After several battles, Sehazhi's men and horses were seriously damaged and they had to abandon their eastward journey and head west instead. To the west is the vast desert.
, although it was difficult to survive inside, it was extremely difficult for others to find them after escaping. So they rushed to the southwest again.
As a result, when they were about to successfully enter the depths of the desert, they encountered an enemy cavalry search team of hundreds of people. This time, almost all of them were killed on the spot. At the critical moment, there was actually a team of their own.
When they came over and saw that the two sides were fighting, this unexpected force immediately jumped into the battle and killed the Tamerlanes by surprise, and they were able to escape. [baidu Jinyi Night Travel Post Bar]
When Xia Xun heard Sai Hazhi mention the name of the other group of people, he couldn't help but get excited, because what Sai Hazhi said was exactly Chen Dong, Ye An and Lao Pang who were separated from him in order to break up the enemy. Xia Xun
I always thought they were in danger.
Sehazhi said that when Chen Dong and others appeared, they were already scarred. After they were separated from Xia Xun, they harassed some fleeing soldiers along the way. They got together but lost their way. They were wandering around in the desert when they happened to meet
After they entered the battle, they successfully rescued Siren, Jeanne and several other women. However, in order to block the enemy's pursuit, they had to use tail docking again.
According to the tactics, Lao Pang led the wounded and tired soldiers to cut off the rear, while Sai Hazhi, Chen Dong, and Ye An protected several women and fled into the desert.
Xia Xun said excitedly: "So, Chen Dong and Ye An are still alive?"
Sehazhi said: "Yes, but their injuries were serious and they could not get medical treatment in the desert. They are recovering from their injuries now, so they were not asked to show their faces."
Xia Xun said: "Then how did you escape here?"
Sehazhi smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, I am not familiar with the geography of the Western Regions. After escaping into the desert, in order to avoid the pursuers, we fled all the way to the west. We didn't care about anything. We just ran away all the way. Later, in front of
Gradually, Yibi and small oases began to appear, and we met some shepherds who actually spoke the hometown dialect of Xilin and Jeanne. After Xilin went to ask them, we found out that she had actually escaped to Bessbali."
"However, we escaped here by accident. When we escaped here, we had already narrowly escaped death. Even we ourselves don't know how we managed to survive. It would be impossible for us to go back in the same way.
What’s more, when we finally escaped from the desert, our camels were already dead from exhaustion and we were penniless and even more embarrassed than a group of beggars after killing those who suffocated to satisfy our hunger.”
Sehazhi took a long breath and said: "Thanks to that little girl Sai'er at this time, her little hands are really good. She can pick things out of her bag and it's unpredictable. She took out a few purses and we got something."
We have money for hotel meals and money for Chen Dong and Ye An to treat his injuries, but... we have to rely on Sai'er to steal a caravan so that we can return to the sandbank. After all, it is impossible, so we have to come up with this plan...
"
When Xia Xun heard this, he took a deep look at Siren and Jeanne, and was very moved. These two girls were resold countless times, and were used by the powerful as a stepping stone to please the higher powerful.
Or they were used by the powerful to win people's hearts, and when they finally fell into their hands, they were made to work as dancers and musicians in their houses just because they were pitiful about their circumstances.
In the past few years, they have been like weeds under the wall of the western courtyard in his house. He has always ignored them and allowed them to fend for themselves. This time, if he had not promoted the Western Region, he accidentally thought that they would be useful.
, I am afraid that their beauty will become haggard and their hair will turn gray, and they will end their lives alone just like the ignorant grass and trees.
Where can the duckweeds live? Who really cares about them? However, he brought them out and brought them into a desperate situation, but they had no regrets and tried their best to go back and complete the task.
His entrustment is so rare.
Yes, this place is not livable, but for beauties like them, there is absolutely nothing unlivable. As long as they are willing, they can immediately go to rich families and live in rich clothes.
They were just two dancing girls in his house. What he gave them was just a mouthful of food. They were not worthy of such repayment!
Xia Xun couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently hold their wrists.
Since Zhu Gaoxu gave them to him as a gift, this is the first time Xia Xun has taken the initiative to signal to them!
