Chapter 272 Aren’t you afraid of retribution for doing this?
Lan Lian was frightened and her mind was racing. She had to find a way to escape from here as soon as possible!
"One hundred taels of silver!"
One of the men made a price.
Mr. Zhao was stunned, his eyes widened:
"What?! One hundred taels?"
"Yes! One hundred taels!"
"Are you kidding! Even a young lady is not worth so much money. Do you think I am an idiot!?"
Mr. Zhao cursed angrily.
"Then tell me, what's the appropriate price?"
The man asked rhetorically.
"Twelve taels, no more!"
Mr. Zhao shouted through gritted teeth.
"Master Zhao, you are so evil, giving away ten taels of silver to a beggar!"
Another man sneered.
"I definitely won't ask for one hundred taels. Please give me an honest price."
"……Fine……"
…
After some bargaining, Lan Lian was sold for twenty taels of silver.
Her tears fell down her pale face, but she did not dare to cry.
Even though Mr. Zhao is dressed in rags, he is the shopkeeper of a brothel!
Lan Lian was reluctantly pushed into the carriage by Mr. Zhao.
She was waiting for an opportunity to escape all the way, but there was no such chance!
Except for a door that can be entered and exited, the carriage is covered by thick wooden boards. Not even a fly can fly out, let alone a living person!
"May I have your name?"
Mr. Zhao was sitting in the carriage, holding a handkerchief in his hand and wiping the corners of his mouth, with a lustful smile in his eyes.
Lan Lian suppressed her fear, lowered her head and said nothing.
"Don't you want to answer? That's fine. Anyway, when you reach my territory, your old name is of no use. I will give you a new one that sounds good!"
Lan Lian suddenly raised her head, her eyes red, pleading:
"Master, I beg you, please let me go?"
"Let you go? Ha! Is my money brought by the strong wind?"
"Master, please give me a price. As long as it allows me to leave, it's no matter how much it is!"
"Are you rich?"
Mr. Zhao glanced at Lan Lian's clothes with disdain and said:
"Look at your poor appearance, you don't look like you are rich!"
"..."
"Okay! Don't worry about me having nothing here. As long as you obey me, I will ensure that you enjoy the delicious food and drink spicy food. When the time comes, I will send you a few maids to serve you, how about it?"
Seeing that Mr. Zhao did not believe in her, Lan Lian was extremely anxious. All her belongings were taken away by the men who abducted her, and the only valuable thing left was a jade pendant worn on her chest.
Lin Xiao brought it to her from the palace specially, and I heard it was rewarded by the emperor himself!
"Wait! I, I am so rich!"
Lan Lian pushed away Mr. Zhao who was about to do something to her, took off the jade pendant hanging around her neck, and held it in the palm of her hand:
"My jade pendant was given by His Majesty the Emperor. It is a royal thing. I think you should know the goods!"
Mr. Zhao took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully for a few times. His eyes suddenly brightened. He put the jade pendant in his arms and laughed:
"This jade pendant is really good, it's worth at least one hundred and eighty taels!"
"You, what are you doing, please return the jade pendant to me!"
See your only valuable thing
Being coveted by Master Zhao, Lan Lian panicked.
She desperately wanted to take back the jade pendant from Master Zhao.
However, Mr. Zhao held his hand tightly and did not move at all no matter how hard she pulled.
Lan Lian was anxious, but she didn't know what to do.
I just hate myself for being as stupid as a pig!
"Little lady, stop struggling, I'll tell you the truth, even if you are the most valuable person in the palace, you won't be able to turn over in my hands, Master Zhao!"
"Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"
Lan Lian glared at Mr. Zhao angrily.
Mr. Zhao burst out laughing:
"Retribution? Hahaha... I'm laughing so hard. If there was retribution, I would have died eight hundred times!"
After saying that, he suddenly lowered his body and leaned close to Lan Lian's ear:
"Let me tell you, this is what I am here!"
As he spoke, Mr. Zhao raised his thumb and said proudly:
"No matter who it is, as long as you anger me, you will end up dead without a burial place! So you should stay calm and avoid suffering!"
Master Zhao's words were like a basin of ice water, extinguishing all Lan Lian's hopes.
She slumped in the corner of the carriage, feeling extremely desperate.
In order to escape from Master Zhao's clutches, she chose to pretend to be fainted, hoping to escape the disaster.
But Mr. Zhao did not give up because of this. He straightened her body and pinched her chin hard:
"As long as you can still breathe, those guests won't care! Hahaha..."
Listening to Master Zhao's harsh laughter, Lan Lian felt as if her internal organs were about to burst.
This is not the way to go!
Are you just at the mercy of Mr. Zhao?
Thinking of the tragic fate she might encounter, Lan Lian couldn't help but shudder.
She is not willing to give in, and she cannot sit still and wait for death. She must find a way to escape!
Lin Xiao is still waiting for her to find it!
…
On the island, Lin Xiao led everyone to build a giant raft, one end of which was filled with food and fresh water.
When everything was ready, everyone climbed onto the raft and prepared to set off.
However, when the raft floated on the sea, only a "boom" was heard, and the plesiosaur, which had been dead for several days, suddenly exploded!
The huge explosion attracted a group of plesiosaurs who were looking for it to the raft near Lin Xiao and others, and they rushed towards the raft with claws and teeth!
"Damn it!"
Lin Xiao cursed secretly and hurriedly asked everyone to paddle to avoid the plesiosaur's attack!
However, how could such a small raft be the opponent of several behemoths!
After a while, Lin Xiao and his raft became shaky and were about to sink to the bottom of the sea!
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiao picked up a rope braided with vines, threw it at the seven inches of a plesiosaur, and tied the plesiosaur tightly.
She quickly tied the other end of the rope to the raft, then took out the dagger she carried and flew over, hitting the plesiosaur's upper body directly.
The plesiosaur let out a cry of pain and swam quickly towards the depths of the sea. The raft was also dragged and slid towards the depths of the sea. The speed was as fast as a modern yacht!
After this operation, Lin Xiao and the others successfully avoided the plesiosaur's attack.
After a while, Lin Xiao seemed to have thought of something, suddenly her face turned pale, and she shouted:
"Quick, cut the rope!"
"why?"
Some people asked in confusion.
They felt that it was extremely convenient for the plesiosaur to drag the raft away, and the plesiosaur behind could not catch up.
"Do you want to follow the plesiosaur back to its lair and become its healing food?!"
Before anyone could react, Lin Xiao snatched the dagger from Yu Xilin's waist and cut the rope.
Due to inertia, the raft lost control and shook violently under the impact of the waves. The fish nearby were frightened and fled one after another.
Everyone was almost overturned into the sea. Fortunately, Ah Hai and several experienced crew members controlled the balance of the raft, barely allowing the raft to float safely on the sea.
But even so, it was enough to choke people, and the waves beat against the wood on the raft, making a creaking sound.
