I collect waste in heaven

1666 - Slave Auction
Between emotions, the auction of the Art of War seems to be coming to an end.

Li Er, Zhao Yin, and Si Qin have all withdrawn from the competition for the art of war one after another, and several other boxes have also withdrawn, but Zhu Zhi seems to be still persistent.

Unfortunately, he couldn't hold on anymore.

After calling out '200 billion' again, he didn't continue to increase the price, and the red light of box 3 was still on, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Congratulations!"

"The lighting of box No. 3 was successful, and the bid for "Sun Tzu's Art of War" was successfully bid for 220 billion."

Boom!
Auctioneer Haier dropped the hammer.

When she finished speaking, the lights in box 3 also dimmed.The guests at the auction booth were all in an uproar, chatting among themselves about the sky-high price for this divine book.

A full 200 million.

You know, even if it is Xianyuan, many families are estimated to be around tens of billions.

Unexpectedly, the auction price of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" has reached such a high price.

At that time, I don't know if the auction of Xianyuan will be even more terrifying.

Many customers in the auction booth began to worry. These customers obviously had ideas about Xianyuan, but they might not have enough money in their hands.

Others just beat their chests and stamped their feet.

"Brother Huang, this book "Sun Wu's Art of War" has sold for 220 billion. When the time comes to auction Xianyuan, won't it be even higher?" Fu Siheng lowered his voice and whispered, "Are you sure?"

"This matter, who can say for sure."

Huang Decai's face was quite calm, but he was not frightened by the high price of the art of war. This is enough to show that his preparations are quite sufficient.

Noticing this scene, Fu Siheng was relieved.

"I didn't expect the book of war to be so high. I'm afraid there will be a real battle in Xianyuan." Xin Zhao came up from the box with a smile.

"Yes!"

"How much do you think you can take?"

"I don't know."

"Hiss, why are you drooping?" Seeing Zhu Zhi drooping his head after the auction failed, Xin Zhao couldn't help smiling and comforting him, "It's just a book on the art of war, so be careful."

"This art of war is not an ordinary art of war." Zhu Zhi sighed, "Unfortunately, it is still a bit short. If there is no accident, the person who bought that art of war should be the one from Han. In recent years, The state of Han changed frequently, and with this book on Art of War, it seems that the state of Han is about to rise completely."

"Hiss, is this Art of War really so influential?"

Xin Zhao was surprised, and said, "You seem to be very worried about the rise of the Han Kingdom. Could it be that your Ming Kingdom has enmity with the Han Kingdom, and that the Han Kingdom will attack other countries after its rise?"

"There is no hatred, and there should be no attack." Zhu Zhi sighed bitterly, and said, "If Han really dared to attack other countries, the other countries would not sit idly by. It made the other countries stick together. When the time comes, the alliance will be signed, and the real danger will be Han."

"Then why are you panicking?"

"Having acquired this art of war in the Han Dynasty, even if it is not used in offensive wars, it will also be of great benefit to the clearing of the wilderness outside the city. To snatch more territory from the hands of wild beasts and monsters, the national power will become more and more powerful. Johnson. Over time, Han will be so strong that no one can shake it. At that time, even if he doesn't attack, the other six countries will bow to Zhi."

"I see." Xin Zhao laughed and said, "You guys are really thinking too far."

"Ugh!"

Zhu Zhi looked sad, as if he still hadn't recovered from the loss.

"Dude, didn't you tell me that there will be slaves in this auction?" Xin Zhao changed the subject, and Zhu Zhi nodded after hearing that, "Indeed, there will be slave auctions."

"slave?"

Xiaoman was surprised after hearing this.

"Slave, is it... a maid like us?"

"You little girl, have you always regarded yourself as a slave?" Xin Zhao couldn't help but knocked her little head, "How can you be a slave here?"

"What's that for?" Xiaoman was puzzled.

"Ask him." Zhao Xin pouted at Zhu Zhi, "He also told me about this, and I'm not very clear about slaves."

Seeing Xin Zhao throwing the question to himself, Zhu Zhi laughed after hearing that.

"Ask me what I do, don't we have professionals here, Miss Wen, come and tell us about slaves, I heard that there are slaves in this auction."

"Yes, there is indeed a slave up for auction."

Wen Shishi also walked over slowly, stood beside Zhao Xin and whispered softly.

"Actually, Wanbaolou does not do slave business. A slave trader borrowed a large amount of money from us. Now he has no way to repay it, so he wanted to use slaves to pay off the debt. Wen Renzhang didn't accept it, so he was allowed to take slaves. Come to the auction."

"What exactly does that slave do?" Xiao Man asked.

"Everything." Wen Shishi explained in a low voice, with pity and regret in her eyes, "These slaves, before they became slaves, were actually like us, having freedom. After becoming slaves, they were deprived of everything , belong to the slave master. They must obey all the orders of the slave master, no matter what they are asked to do, even if they are asked to die now, they must not disobey."

"Why, don't they resist?"

"Being able to be sold as slaves has already been domesticated. Before they were slaves and sold, they must have suffered inhuman torture. Even if they resist, they can't resist. Slave traders have the means to control them. For example, some kind of motto, or something else..." Wen Shishi paused for a moment and then smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I really don't know much about slaves."

"what?"

Hearing this, Xiaoman couldn't help but let out a low cry.

"Oh, I heard that the slave brought by the slave owner this time is a beastman." Wen Shishi sighed in a low voice, "A few colleagues went to see it before, and they heard that it was a girl from the fox clan, and she was extremely beautiful. Most slaves like this will be bought back by rich merchants..."

Wen Shishi didn't say what she said later, probably because there was still Xiaoman here.

"What are you doing?" However, Xiao Man, who was extremely thirsty for knowledge, asked again, and it was Xin Zhao who tapped her on the head, "What are you asking so many questions about, so stop asking if you shouldn't know."

"Oh."

Xiao Man responded obediently, and then heard Zhao Xin speak again.

"Is it legal to capture these orcs as slaves?"

"Actually, there is no such thing as legal or illegal. This kind of thing means that whoever has the power has the right to speak." Wen Shishi said softly, "Among our seven countries, there are actually slave trades between countries, that's what it is It was all done in private and was not made public. Mr. Zhu, you should know about this."

"Yes." Zhu Zhi nodded.

"Besides, the orc tribe is not a human tribe at all, and their rights are actually even less protected. It might be better if there is a strong person in the tribe to protect them." Wen Shishi said softly, "This time the slave owner caught I heard that this group of slaves used to be engaged in private business in various cities, but for some reason they suddenly became slaves."

"merchant?"

"Ok!"

Xin Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard these words, Xiao Man also blinked after hearing this.

"Uncle..."

Xiaoman subconsciously wanted to shout out with joy, seeing Xin Zhao's expression, she swallowed the words again, but she was happy for the uncle in her heart.

Uncle is going to be a private businessman.

If you can buy those slaves, you can save a lot of trouble.

Xin Zhao and Xiao Man have exactly the same idea.

"When will the auction of slaves start?" Zhao Xin asked in a low voice, Wen Shishi pondered for a moment and said, "It should be soon, I remember that the slaves were auctioned before the auction of "Sun Wu's Art of War". It's time for the slave."

"Grandpa, it seems to be here."

Xiaoman ran to the window again at some point, and Xin Zhao also looked out the window.This time, the person who appeared was no longer a staff member of Wanbao Building, but a bald man with a shy belly and a fleshy face, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.

From the bald eyes, one can see the treachery on his face.

There is cruelty hidden in treachery.

When he came up, there were four people beside him carrying a huge cage. The whole cage was covered with a red cloth, so it was hard to see what was inside.

Auctioneer Haier frowned when he saw this scene.

She didn't go to introduce the products, but the bald man with a fleshy face showed a mouthful of white teeth, and raised his hand to greet the guests in the audience.

"Everyone..."

"My little wolf, a little bit more than ruthless, a little slave trader."

"This time I will borrow the precious land of Wanbao Building to auction a treasure. This treasure is the best-looking slave among my many slaves."

"From the fox clan, so far I am still a virgin."

"I believe that some knowledgeable people also know that the fox orcs are all excellent in appearance, their skin is delicate and smooth, and their figure is even more superior. This lot of mine...is even the best of the best, it is a masterpiece!"

The slave trader Lao Lang spared no effort to introduce his products.

The guests in the audience also began to discuss.

Many customers even lowered their heads trying to see the auction items inside from the bottom seam of the cage.

"Mr. Lai, let's go here, we still have lots to auction later."

Hai'er smiled slightly, she was kind-hearted and didn't have the heart to face this matter.

"Haha, yes, yes, I have talked too much." Lao Lang grinned, and then looked at the crowd in the city auction with a solemn expression, "But... I can use my reputation to assure you that this product is absolutely worthless. It will make you... satisfied!"
