Before Qu Lingxin could open his mouth, Dahongyu Qin Yunian took the lead and said: "If Lord Chen really has definite news about the foreign race, he can make an exception and return to the country first, but the Lord of the Western Tang Dynasty naturally has a process for disaster relief, and there are also specialized personnel. If you propose to return to the country at this time, I am afraid that Yu Li will not get along with you."
The so-called etiquette means that when summer comes, the season of eating and drinking spring banquets is over, and the emperor will hold a ceremony to sacrifice summer. This kind of reason is compared to the domestic famine. If Lan Jue didn't remember his "personality", Really had to laugh out loud on the spot.
Lan Jue's eyes moved slightly, he opened his mouth, and said proudly: "Master Qin was assassinated last night, and Lan had drunk two cups of alcohol yesterday, and forgot to go to the mansion of the lord, otherwise I will help catch those young people .”
Sure enough, the emperor hummed and asked, "Da Honglu, did you meet the assassin yesterday?"
Before Qin Yunian, Lan Jue said: "That kid Bai Jing'an rushed to the posthouse last night, saying that he was afraid that the assassin would hurt us, but luckily he was not hurt."
In this way, the topic was diverted to the clichéd question of assassins. The Lord Chen, who was left aside, looked unwilling, but it was not easy to interrupt the emperor who was rarely in a good mood.
But he will get what he wants in the end.
People from the plain night tribe are the most standard representative of the "foreign race" in people's mouth. Moreover, compared with those beautiful and singing mermaids who stay in the legend, the night tribe is real and visible, and they are the slaves loved by the nobles.They are no different from ordinary people, except for their unique appearance, there is no major abnormality. If there is really a foreign race with a fish tail, maybe these greedy nobles don't know where to start.
Lan Jue, even everyone present knew very well that the Lord Chen was in a hurry to go back, not because he was worried about any alien intrusion. The people in the plains had been besieged for several generations, and they could no longer become a big climate. Now there are only a few small tribes scattered in the southern forest Among them, the Lord of the Kingdom of Chen is very anxious - if the crusade is successful, it will be another large amount of slave income.
After some nonsense, finally, the topic returned to the alien race.
Chen Guozhu said: "Your Majesty, I have captured a group of Ye people in my country. These aliens have been taught. I have selected a few of them that are not bad and presented them to Your Majesty."
……
Chu Xiang took Chu Hexing for a stroll on the street, Lan Jue went to court, and he was idle again. Chu Hexing knew the stories of the assassins and wanted to go and see them. It's not okay for a girl to go shopping in brothels, so Chu Hexing dressed up as a skinny little book boy, followed Chu Xiang, and tried not to look at the rouge and gouache on the street. It was very hard to hold back.
Mo Niang still praised the little girl's roots, and even asserted that she could become an elite killer. However, facing Chu Hexing's ignorant expression, Chu Xiang gently rejected Mo Niang's proposal to take Chu Hexing away.
Now this little girl is having fun in the street, Chu Xiang puts her hands in her hands, looks at her with a smile, and slowly follows behind.
Xie Zhiwei is calculating the probability.
"Captain, the assassin acted without authorization last night, but your lord has already received the information. According to my inference, there is an 87.3% probability that the information came from within the iron guard, and there are people from your lord inside the iron guard. "
Chu Xiang: "What are the remaining possibilities?"
"Because all the information I have about Qu Lingxin comes from your memory, so I'm not sure. After all, human thinking will make memory with emotional bias. The remaining possibility is that the insider was placed in the astrology pavilion. But it depends on what kind of person Qu Lingxin is."
Chu Xiang paused: "At this time, don't forget to diss the human brain. Don't forget, you only have a miniature module now, not the whole body."
Xie Zhiwei said quietly: "When you want me to help you whoring beautiful women, you can take a bite of my good Zhiwei, and at other times you can just dislike me!"
"Stop!" Chu Xiang supported his forehead, "I don't want to prostitute anyone!"
"Okay, okay." Xie Zhiwei was insincere, "What is your lord arguing with in the hall? To be honest, his acting skills beat Captain Han Yi, and our fleet is also high-level, but it seems, That assassin brother is right, it will be very difficult for you to leave the imperial capital, you have to start thinking of a way now, how can you leave here and return to the country smoothly."
Returning to the country, Chu Xiang sighed, holding a prince in the capital and not allowed to return to the fief, although it was against the rules, but there were too many ways, and even if he left the capital, the road ahead would be fraught with danger.
They walked and passed a market.
The cages were neatly placed by the side of the road, like a well-packed live poultry market, but every cage was crowded with... people.
Chu Hexing showed a ferocious face, looking like he was going to bite someone. Chu Xiang rubbed her head, and the little girl whispered angrily: "The Slavery Act. It wasn't so blatant in the past, but last year, the imperial court officially promulgated the permission The Slave Keeping Act."
Most of the slaves looked numb, and a small number were crying silently, looking at the whip in the seller's hand in fear.Many people could not afford to pay the increasingly heavy taxes, and were stamped and sold into slavery by tax officials on the spot to pay back the taxes. A small number of them were family members who sold their children.
If he is not favored by brothels like Chu Hexing, he can only buy cheap slaves in the market.Even if Chu Xiang is a white-clothed literati, he used to take the monthly rules of the Princess's Mansion and convert it into one month's money to buy ten girls as old as Chu Hexing.
"Let's go." Chu Xiang sighed and took Chu Hexing's arm.
"Brother..." Chu Hexing said quietly, "One day, there will be no more slaves, right?"
Chu Xiang looked at the girl and nodded without hesitation: "Yes."
"That's good." The optimist girl nodded solemnly, she believed in Yao Xing's promise to her, even though she didn't understand the heavy weight behind that promise, weighing down on the whole world.
A group of newly arrived slaves came with the yelling of the slave masters, their feet were tied with chains, and they were whipped and beaten, and the difference was that these people looked more or less weird.
For example, a man with red hair, or a girl with green eyes, and one girl has snow-white hair all over her body.
Chu Xiang looked over, and the nano-robots in his eyes quickly scanned and analyzed, Xie Zhiwei said: "Captain, that girl is only albino, and the others are also normal human DNA sequences, you don't have to worry."
After all, this world is different from the earth, but in the twenty years before Chu Xiang traveled, his knowledge and cognition were behind the normal level of ancient times, so he couldn't judge whether the "metaphysics" and "foreign races" in this world included It doesn't contain any fantasy elements, now with Xie Zhiwei's analysis, Chu Xiang felt a little relieved, but frowned even more.
"The newly arrived foreign race is cheap and easy to use, but the color looks a bit weird, please take a look, sir—"
The slave trader yelled vigorously, pushed those "foreign races" to stand in a row, gesticulated their bodies sharply, and showed them to passers-by.
"It's very cheap. Alien slaves are very favorable. They only sell for [-] yuan each!"
The currency in circulation is a button-sized coin. Money refers to the cheapest kind of coin. The most expensive one is carved with jade pieces. One is equal to a thousand coins. When I bought Chu Hexing, I spent fifteen jade coins. .
"But you are all worthless ordinary aliens!"
"Wow, this guest officer, if I could have two Ye clansmen in my hands, I would not be doing business here long ago!"
There is something similar to the "heretic law" in this world. People who are not my race are all heretics. Except for normal people with black hair and black eyes, it is inevitable that there will be occasional genetic differences, or other ethnic minorities, but here , were all beaten into alien races by a weird theory of pure-blooded human nobility.
More likely, it is actually just to find an upright shield for this kind of profitable business, such as paying taxes and paying off the debt—the slaves in the cage look numb. They are not desperate, but they are not desperate at all. Know what the future holds.
Seeing that Chu Xiang seemed to be serious, Chu Hexing tugged on his sleeve hastily: "Brother, let's go, that's a foreign race, let's stay away."
Chu Xiang looked suspiciously at the little girl who had always had the "Virgin's Disease", and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Chu Hexing patted his heart: "It is said that aliens are cannibals!"
"Who told you that?"
"They don't eat people, why are they called aliens?"
Chu Xiang couldn't help laughing, not knowing whether to laugh at the little girl's stupidity, or at the pedantry of this world.
"It is not a foreign race that eats people." It is a decadent dynasty.Chu Xiang patted Chu Hexing, "What you believe may not be true, you have to confirm everything yourself to know whether it is right or not."
Chu Hexing nodded ignorantly: "Brother, are you saying that I might have been cheated?"
Fortunately, this girl believes in the "demon star" even more.
"Xiao Xing, look at that girl over there, besides her white hair, is there anything unusual about her? Does she have a mouth, or eyes that go under her nose?"
"Hmm..." Chu Hexing struggled, "It seems that there really isn't one."
"So, the cannibals are not aliens, but the nobles who want to buy and sell them in a fair way."
So Chu Xiang walked over, and the slave trader saw it, and immediately came over with a smile: "Master, they are all new slaves. Although they are of different races, they are all in good health, and the girls are also very good-looking. You see -"
After counting, there are a total of 21 so-called "alien races".
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "Only these?"
The slave trader's eyes lit up: "Do you want more? If you want, there are many more, and I don't have them. We are an honest store. I am just a semicolon. If you want, I can get it for you!"
Chu Xiang nodded, then hesitated: "At this price..."
"My lord, foreign races are already sold very cheaply. I am all adult slaves. Many men are still strong and strong. You can earn money if you buy them!"
At this time, Chu Hexing rolled his eyes, pulled Chu Xiang's sleeves and shouted: "Young master, these aliens are so scary, buying them back will give you nightmares, let's not buy them, okay?"
Chu Xiang was very kind, and knocked on her forehead: "There is no way, there is a shortage of manpower...and we haven't given us a lot of money, so let's try two of them first."
They talk to each other, slave traders are also good people, and they are very clear about the details of the nobles in the city. Chu Xiang is like this, it is clear which nobleman is a retainer. He wants to buy a few slaves to show off. He wants more, but he doesn’t have any. If you are particularly rich, you plan to buy a cheaper foreign race.
"Such a son." The man looked like a profiteer, "If you buy them all, I will give you a cheaper price, and I will give you four hundred and fifty ones?"
……
When returning from the court hall, Lan Jue saw a row of men and women in the courtyard, who looked like they had just cleaned up, and were queuing up...
Dye your hair?
The elegant young man mixed with these strange people in a hurry, his sleeves were rolled up high, revealing his beautiful arms—a little tougher than Lan Jue imagined, his hands were covered with some kind of black juice, Coloring a girl's hair.
He heard Chu Xiang say softly: "Yes, one day, you will walk in the sun with your heads held high and you don't have to hide anymore."
Because he was busy, Chu Xiang didn't notice Lan Jue, so he talked to Xie Zhiwei instead.
"Why is this hair dye so difficult to use?"
Xie Zhiwei replied in his usual snarky tone: "Captain, this is the best formula I can make in this world. Do you think this is a new type of hair dye purified from polymers? You can't go out with General Shao Yun." Compare those hair dyes used in the field. And Captain, are you really not running away, the beauty you provoked yesterday is still very angry and is standing behind you."
Chu Xiang: "..."
The so-called etiquette means that when summer comes, the season of eating and drinking spring banquets is over, and the emperor will hold a ceremony to sacrifice summer. This kind of reason is compared to the domestic famine. If Lan Jue didn't remember his "personality", Really had to laugh out loud on the spot.

Before Qin Yunian, Lan Jue said: "That kid Bai Jing'an rushed to the posthouse last night, saying that he was afraid that the assassin would hurt us, but luckily he was not hurt."
In this way, the topic was diverted to the clichéd question of assassins. The Lord Chen, who was left aside, looked unwilling, but it was not easy to interrupt the emperor who was rarely in a good mood.
