Chang Ning frowned, extremely shocked. It took him a long time to calm down, and his tone turned calm and said: "Oh, it's me who is ignorant." He opened his fragrant lips slightly and couldn't help asking: "Are you guys going to buy it too? ?”
Huchajing gave a bitter smile and said: "How could Miss Changning think so? We don't even bother to do such a harmful thing, we just went to see it."
Shen Xiangdong smiled slightly, said hello, and was about to leave. Chang Ning bit his lips, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said in a deep voice: "I want to go too."
Huchajing looked at Changning in astonishment, and Chu Ying'er advised: "This kind of place is full of filth and evil, Changning, you stay at the inn and wait for us to come back."
"No," Chang Ning stubbornly shook his head, his beautiful eyes looking at Shen Xiangdong without blinking, with a determined look on his face, determined to follow the others.
Shen Xiangdong sighed secretly and looked at Chang Ning biting his red lips. He couldn't bear to refuse. He glanced at Li Luo and said awkwardly: "Okay, let's go together, Ni Qing. You and Zhu Zhi should pay more attention."
The two agreed and everyone left the inn. Zhu Zhi led the way. Changning was in a very low mood. He lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. The excitement of entering the new moon was gone.
Chu Ying'er said a few words of relief from time to time, and Hu Chajing was also chatting away, trying to distract Chang Ning from his thoughts. Chang Ning Bingxue was smart and understood that everyone had good intentions, but he felt miserable in his heart, so he could only force a smile to show his gratitude. .
Huchajing saw this and was so angry that he wanted to kill all the slave traders like Shuoxi.
Along the way, Chang Ning kept his head down, which saved the attention of many passers-by. Soon he came to the place where slaves were bought and sold. Hu Chajing raised his head to look around, frowned and asked: "Zhu Zhi, is this here?"
Zhu Zhi was also a little confused. He looked at it carefully and said, "Yes, this is the place that my subordinates heard about."
Several people stood in front of the market, feeling quite uncomfortable.
Several rows of messy and simple stone houses are connected together. Some places are dilapidated, so they are simply surrounded by some felt cloth.
The wind blows and lifts the curtains, but the color can no longer be seen. Many of the curtains are in tatters. It is so cold in winter, it is almost the same as the wilderness, and it is much worse than the horse market on Shuoxi.
As soon as he got closer, a pungent stench hit his face, and Li Luo couldn't help but frown. There was mud everywhere on the ground. It seemed like there were some leftovers mixed with the mud, and he couldn't tell what they were. What's worse, There are also a lot of yellow and white things, which are disgusting at first glance.
If it weren't for the screams coming from inside, several people would have thought they were in a place of death. Unlike Changning, who had tears in his eyes, the eyes of Huchajing and others were filled with murderous intent.
Shen Xiangdong said calmly: "Let's go in."
Walking into the stone house, the scene inside was completely different from the outside. Ni Qing opened his mouth in shock and said nothing for a long time.
The slave trade has begun, so no wonder no one is walking around outside. The stone house is much larger than it looks from the outside, can accommodate nearly a thousand people, and is magnificently decorated. The floor is covered with colorful blankets, and the windows are covered with animal skins. , no wonder there are constant screams inside, but it doesn’t sound very obvious outside.
There were torches lit all over the wall. There was a stone platform directly in front, and there was a large fire pit below. The charcoal fire was burning brightly, and many people were baring their chests and backs, and screaming loudly.
Towards the front, there are several rows of tables and chairs, and they are all occupied by now. Looking at their clothes, they are wealthy people with considerable wealth. Further back, businessmen and prodigal sons from all over are surrounding, and everyone is staring at them.
Standing on the platform, shouts of price erupted from the crowd from time to time.
There were also many scantily clad women, holding tea in their hands or carrying some dried fruits to eat, squeezing in and out of the crowd, and from time to time making fun and unrestrained jokes with the businessmen around them.
There are actually people having sex in public, and it smells like rottenness.
As soon as Li Luo and others entered the stone house, a woman came up to them and stuck directly towards Huchajing. Huchajing waved his hands away in disgust.
The woman let out a sweet cry and took a few steps away. Suddenly she saw Chang Ning with a shocked expression on her side. She blinked a few times and was about to scream out. An icy chill pressed down on her chest and she couldn't breathe.
.
Chu Ying'er took a step forward, stood in front of Chang Ning, and shouted in a cold voice: "Go away."
The woman hurriedly got out of the way. Chu Ying'er took Chang Ning and moved forward. After a few people left, the woman let out the tightness in her chest, stamped her feet and cursed: "What the hell..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Zhi in front of him suddenly turned around, hurriedly shut up and ran away. Zhu Zhi smiled suddenly, looked away and ignored him.
Chang Ning looked at Li Luo sadly, leaned towards Chu Ying'er, and whispered: "Thank you very much."
Li Luo nodded slightly but said nothing.
From time to time, someone would push the slave up on the platform, introduce him briefly, and then start bidding.
There were some strong men, some young girls, many young children, and occasionally some older men, who must have some skills, and many people bid.
However, most of them were young women with some good looks, which caused a commotion in the stone house. There were many bidders. To a few people's surprise, there were actually many people with martial arts skills who were also put forward.
Shitai was imprisoned for unknown reasons.
The slaves on the stone platform, after the merchant finished speaking, had to do some work according to the merchant's wishes. If they neglected the job for a moment, they would be beaten severely.
Some women were naked and stood on the stage, forcing themselves to smile. The youngest was only over ten years old, and there were many boys. People in the audience kept making strange noises, which was extremely humiliating.
Li Luo and Shen Xiangdong were better off, while Huchajing and the others were gnashing their teeth angrily, clutching their weapons tightly, ready to take action if ordered by Li Luo.
On the right side of the stone house, there are some small doors. From time to time, a serving woman will invite the wealthy people in the front row of tables and chairs to go over and conduct some transactions in private.
Within a few moments, more than ten people had been bought. Except for a man with an artistic background, the rest were all young women. Li Luo glanced at them and said calmly: "Let's go back."
Huchajing suppressed his anger, vomited hard, and said: "Not as good as an animal."
Shen Xiangdong patted Hucha Jing on the shoulder and said, "Wu Jing, please be patient and let's go."
Chang Ning had calmed down and her face was calm. Shen Xiangdong glanced at her with pity and gestured to Chu Ying'er.
Chu Ying'er nodded, took Chang Ning in her arms, and they retreated out of the house. Suddenly, a loud shout came from the ground: "Everyone, please watch out for this one below. In order to catch her, we, Tihe, lost a lot of money."
Ten masters, definitely one of the best slaves today."
Li Luo paused, turned around and asked, "Die He?"
Zhu Zhi replied: "Sir, Dihe is the largest slave-trading bandit in Xirong. They are rampant in the Western Region. It is rumored that they are connected with several groups of horse thieves. They also have the support of the Xirong royal family behind them. They search for beautiful women to pay tribute to the royal family or sell them.
For business travelers everywhere.” (To be continued.)
