Original War

Chapter 817

To Shao Xuan’s request, the leader of the slave owner did not immediately agree, but carefully and carefully stared at the short and slender, morbidly weak old slave for several times. He really didn’t notice anything special about this slave.

As the largest slave organization, the slave owners in the organization have developed a pair of good eyes. They can see which kind of slave can sell at a high price and which kind of slave is not useful. Especially those with high positions have better eyesight. However, as a leader, he has sold more slaves than a tribe, but he couldn’t see anything unusual about the slave in front of him. This time he was escorted. There are so many slaves, of which more than half of the sturdy slaves suitable for being coolie, why does this Yanjiao man choose an old slave who is nothing special?

“Know?” the leading slave owner asked.

“An old acquaintance.” Shao Xuan did not deny it.

The slave owner who led the team looked at Shao Xuan suspiciously, and then at the slave. There were indeed cases where many people bought people they knew, but it always felt something wrong with Yanjiao Ren. Even if they really know each other, this “old acquaintance” is definitely not a friendly relationship. The enemy?

After much deliberation, I couldn’t figure out the weirdness, but the leader agreed. They are professional slave traders among the slave owners. Their primary task is to buy and sell slaves. Since someone wants to buy a slave, he will sell it, but at this price. Report higher.

Lumbering came over and bargained with the other party. He went to Qiucheng a lot and knew the market of the slave trade. He knew exactly what kind of slaves were worth and how much.

Finally, Shao Xuan bought the slave with a water moon stone that was not too bright.

The transaction was completed, and the leader of the slave took off a golden object with a beast tooth-shaped palm on his neck.

This kind of thing is called xi (xi), which is a tool used to untie knots.

When there is no gold lock, the knot is a simple, convenient and low-cost lock. Even if the wooden lock Stone-lock appears later, the knot is still the mainstream. Sometimes, for the safety of property, complicated knots are formed when knotting. Some knots can produce a nine-link effect. If you don’t use a tool, it will take at least half a day to solve it, but if you use this tool, you may be able to untie it in two breaths.

If the knot is the earliest lock, then the key is the earliest key.

The former slave owners would always carry them with them, and at the same time, they also told others: We are the ones who have slaves!

Sometimes a person wears several kinds of bows at the same time, just like the ones worn by the slave owners who escorted the slaves in front of them. Some are short and thick, some are slender, some are straight, some are more curved, and some are shaped. Simple, some more complex, and even many hollow patterns.

Shao Xuan was quite familiar with knots, so he could tell at a glance that there were nearly a hundred kinds of knots on the ropes that bound the slaves in front of him, and more than half of them had not been seen by Shao Xuan. Although some knots seem simple, Shao Xuan knows that they are not easy to untie.It’s really amazing.

Different shapes are used to solve different types of knots. Wearing more, naturally gives people an impression of “I have more slaves, so I need more knots”.

Slaves are also a kind of wealth, and this behavior of slave owners is also a show of wealth.

And as the craftsmen’s brains opened up, and the genius craftsmen with explosive skills appeared one by one, some more complex and strong locks also emerged, but the production is difficult, costly, and very expensive. . The nobles who have the conditions to use gold locks have realized the benefits of these new locks, and have gradually reduced the frequency of use of knots. In addition to the nature of use, the more gorgeous gold locks can also decorate the facade, showing the nobility of the noble slave-owner status, which is very popular among the nobles.

With the replacement of sturdy locks, the knots in daily life no longer need to be tied. Therefore, the use of ropes for untieing the ropes has gradually been used less, but the goals have not disappeared. Nowadays, Zhuo continues to pass on, but the function is constantly diminishing, and it is developing in the direction of accessories.

The nobles have been continuing their habit of pretending to be forced-wearing a bow shows the status of a noble slave owner. Since the bow is no longer used to untie ropes, it doesn’t need to be strong and durable. Beautiful gems and other products are good. The ornaments are even more compelling. Some female celebrities will also use it to fix their hair as hair accessories. The production of Qiu also tends to be gorgeous in appearance rather than functionally practical.

Therefore, in many slave owners, there is still a tradition of wearing guts, but those who wear guts may not really use it to untie the rope.

But among the slave owners, there is a special group.

The people of the “Zhen” organization have always had a soft spot for the sling. The slings they wear are still used to untie the knots. When escorting the slaves, most of them still use the ropes. The ropes are also relatively strong ropes that have been specially treated.

People who are tying knots are very good at knotting. If you don’t borrow tools, it is very difficult to untie it. Of course, it is possible to cut it with a hard tool, but whoever will risk offending it The danger of robbing the slaves of the “畀”?

And most of the slaves who worked so hard to break the rope that escaped will still be found out by the “shackled” people by various means, and punished in a more cruel way. tribe.

The slaves who fell in the hands of 畀 were rarely able to escape safely.

The slave owner of the leader used a machete to untie a knot connected to the slave team, took the untied rope and handed it to Shao Xuan, while the other end of the rope was tied to the old man. slave.

“This slave is yours.”

The other slave owners who escorted the slaves were overjoyed when the transaction was concluded. They felt that the transaction was a good deal. They made a lot of money. There are few things like water and moon stones here, and they can also illuminate. They are more valuable than ordinary gems, and they don’t have much labor. Old slave, it’s not bad to exchange for a gem like this.

But the slave master who led the team didn’t feel much joy on the face. Instead, he became more and more puzzled. He didn’t regret making this transaction. He looked back at the old slave who was crouching back for several times, but it was a pity that he still couldn’t see anything.

When the slave team left, walked away, and couldn’t see, Shao Xuan looked at the old slave who was standing there with his head hanging down.

“Still pretending? When I don’t know who you are?”

Others were made even more curious by Shao Xuan’s words. Look around, they really haven’t seen this person.

“I… I don’t know… what are you talking about.” The old slave’s hoarse voice tremblingly spoke in an authentic native dialect. Even the Changzhou tribe who came here has already learned the words here. , Said it is not his standard.

Guihe several people are more confused, who is this? Could it be that Shao Xuan met when he came here? Those of them who have been on the other side certainly don’t know this one.

While thinking about it, Guihe listened to Shao Xuandao: “Don’t pretend, steal Seven.”

Pirate Seven? ! !

Thousands of pairs of knives swept over.

To talk about the Yanjiao people’s view of “pirates”, it was like seeing disgusting shit. People who knew the “pirates” came here, Yanjiao was still excited and gloating. Now, they actually saw the “pirate” again! Really an old acquaintance!

In the past, Pirate Qi went to Yanjiao’s farmland for stealing cabbage and was arrested. Shao Xuan beat him down. Later, this man and other robbers wanted to steal the blue-faced fangs. Shao Xuan chased him and beat him. The result blew the whistle for help. Now it happened again.

Knowing that he can’t hide, the thief’s seven faces are twisted and entangled.

Before mixing in this team of escorting slaves, he was still thinking in his heart that he is really a genius. When he enters Chaoqiu City, he can find opportunities to run away. People who are mad at you, la la la la~

The victory song of the “Pirates” organization kept circulating in my heart. Pirate Qi was very proud of it. As a result, before he arrived at Chaoqiu City, he encountered Shao Xuan, the nemesis. He pretended to be like this, and Shao Xuan could still recognize it!

Every time I meet Yanjiao people, nothing is good!

Pirate Qi felt that he was so unlucky that it must be because he did not worship his ancestors before this operation.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the old slave’s original appearance was full of weather, wilting, and weak, but gradually began to change, no longer rickety, his back straightened, and his shriveled body was bulging like an inflatable body, and there was a burst of crackling bones. The sound of dislocation.

Guihe several people looked at the slave’s eyes, from the surprise at the beginning, to doubt, and then to anger, a sentence came out in their hearts at the same time: Fuck, it’s really this stuff!

“Pirate Seven!”

The people in Yanjiao moved their shoulders vigorously, surrounded the Pirate Qi in the middle, sneered again and again, their eyes seemed to say: “Look, daddy won’t beat you to death!”

Pirate Qi seemed to be frightened, and stood there blankly, his eyes dull, but Shao Xuan knew that this guy must have been thinking about a way to escape in his heart.

Looking at the surrounding terrain, he determined that it was very difficult for Pirate Seven to escape. Shao Xuan asked again, “Let’s talk, what did you steal this time?”

“Thieves” will not hide after stealing things. Others steal things for fear of being known, but they are afraid that others will not know, and even show off. The more precious things, the crazier they will show off. Everybody knows.

However, Pirate Seven may not tell the truth in order to protect his own achievements.

Sure enough, Pirate Qi didn’t say anything about Shao Xuan’s question.

Shao Xuan did not urge, but said, “We will go to the royal city this time, and at the same time, we will bring a message.”

Pirate Qi still hung his head and didn’t move, but Shao Xuan knew that he was listening, and continued: “We will tell the people in the royal city, the man who dignified the robbery of Qi, tried all his best to steal the pants of Chaoqiu City Lord Chaoyang. ”

Pirate Qi suddenly raised his head to look at Shao Xuan, “This is simply an insult to my stealing skills!” Not to mention the chaotic pants, he can easily steal the pants of the people in the palace! This kind of low-level technique is something new talents do. How could he do it? ! He is going to be a thief!

Those who come and go in the royal city are large caravans and long-distance teams. Such an entertaining news will probably be spread widely. Perhaps, some people who have been robbed and poisoned will be more enthusiastic about the thief. “Achievements”, with some more material added to make the news more interesting.

Obviously, Pirate Seven had already thought of a lot.

“Heh, do you think others will believe?” Pirate Qiyi didn’t care.

“You can try.” Shao Xuan said calmly.

Pirate seven without words. If the Yanjiao people threatened with force, he would fabricate all kinds of lies to smug the Yanjiao people, but what Shao Xuan mentioned was a matter of reputation. This is simply the sewage that was forcibly poured on his reputation!

Moreover, others say that the lethality is not great, but this is what Yanjiao Ren said. Pirate Qi should pay more attention to it. He is afraid that Yanjiao Ren will deduct more shit basins for him. He is now preparing to top the rankings, but he doesn’t want to be affected by this.

After thinking about it, the Pirate Qi made a sound, and said, “Go. It’s a go. The people call him the ‘leader bone fault’.”

After talking about Pirate Seven, he couldn’t help being proud, but he stole it from the leader of the organization, and he planned to rank among the “pirates” based on this.
