Chapter 348 The Truth

Chapter 348 The Truth
The two leaned forward.The level of Qiang Rong is the level of the clan and tribe, and there is no such rule as "only wholesale and not retail".Zhang Cheng took out a few shellfish and easily exchanged for a lot of spices.

It's some kind of flowery vine... with a refreshing scent.But the price is not expensive-these Qiang Rong are obviously newcomers, ignorant, and do not know the skills of bargaining.Because Jiang Kao was on the side, Zhang Cheng did not exchange the three artifacts (glass, salt, and pearls) for time travel, but used shell coins.

"I think..." Zhang Cheng actually wanted to make murlocs into cards and take them away.According to the rules of this world, he obtained these slaves legally.But even if it was Hu Chen, Zhang Cheng followed his advice.So he has already figured this out for a long time - of course, the specific implementation will not be discussed until after Jiang Kao leaves. "Let's talk about it later."

Jiang Kao started chatting with the Qiang Rong, trying to figure out where these half-human sheep came from.Because these guys really don't look like professional businessmen.The language of the two sides was in a half-communicative state, and gestures and facial expressions were needed to cooperate with each other to barely communicate.Fortunately, Zhang Cheng has a translator, which solves this problem.

The answer of the goats was actually expected - they came through the portal, or the "transfer technique".As for where the portal came from, it was because of Mr. Donghai.Mr. Donghai created a portal between the two places, allowing his followers to pass through.

In fact, Zhang Cheng has seen this matter before.The former Ba Snake used a clone to maintain a portal, and sent thousands of lizardmen to the edge of Kunwu City.Lord Donghai has already attracted many Qiang Rong disciples by using the portal method.Jiang Kao may have just solved a doubt when he heard the news, but Zhang Cheng heard it in his ears, but he could clearly feel that Mr. Donghai was playing a big game of chess.

First of all, by taking advantage of the opportunity that the god of the East China Sea is a house god who doesn't care about things, he successfully dominated Lai Yi.Then based on the Laiyi, the northern side initially controlled the Yiyun, and the eastern side tried to get involved with the Dongyi. In the middle, they reached an agreement with Zhu Xia, and then faintly got involved with the Qiang Rong.While laying out the layout, it cleverly avoided the Dog Rong and Nanman... avoiding the conflict with those gods.no doubt.Although what Zhang Cheng knows is definitely only a small part of Donghai Jun's layout, he can still clearly feel that Donghai Jun is actively making progress and a big net is being rolled out.

"So it's because of... Lord Donghai?" Sure enough, it was a great spirit who was determined to become a god.

Now, I can somewhat understand Donghai Jun’s thinking: Donghai Jun is not taking the normal path, not the kind of primitive belief of “I will protect you, you believe in me, and I will cover all your life, old age, sickness and death”.It lacks divine power and cannot respond to requests, so another simpler and more economical path is chosen, that is, communication technology.It's like the Huang Daopo conferring gods on the earth.Believe in me, I will teach you techniques!Then I can hide my hand in technology.Obedience will make everything go well for you, and disobedience will let you get nothing.

"By the way, Brother Jiang," after leaving Qiang Rong's side, Zhang Cheng suddenly thought of what happened to Huai Yi before. "Are there other Xias besides us in this city?"

"This...isn't possible? I've found a lot of people before, but basically there are no business travelers in Yingqiu who want to come back to the city." Jiang Kao was also puzzled by this question. "The people before are gone and never come back. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless it is a slave." Jiang Kao said. "My virtuous brother, do you still remember Xun Yun? If my virtuous brother hadn't rescued me at that time, I'm afraid I would have been sold here."

Speaking of this matter, Jiang Kao was a little bit afraid.Of course, it is not a strong fear - he has the self-confidence that he can redeem even if he is captured.After all, in this world, except for a few exceptions such as Lai Yi and Hu Fang, most intelligent races do not regard other intelligent races as food.After all, everyone has evolved into a civilized slavery society.

"Slave..." Zhang Cheng was puzzled at first, but immediately realized that this was the correct answer.Because this is a slavery society, slaves are the most common commodity in a slavery society.That being the case, as a trading city, there must be a slave market in Guicheng.It's actually not that hard to find this place at all.They just asked a Huaiyi they met on the way, and they already knew the place.

"We might as well sell these slaves." Jiang Kao whispered.He did this for Zhang Cheng's sake—although these Lai Yi were already slaves, even Jiang Kao knew that this relationship would not last long.Zhang Cheng was going to leave Guicheng after all, and the murlocs couldn't live on land for too long.Therefore, selling Lai Zhi and others is a way for Zhang Cheng to reduce losses.Or the best way.

"Let's let this matter go first, and we'll talk about it later." Zhang Cheng, who had long planned to make the murlocs into a card, of course just dealt with it vaguely. "But it's not bad for us to go and have a look. If we want to go, we probably have to do it early."

It was indeed late at this time.Everyone quickened their pace and walked towards the slave market in Guicheng.

The slave market is located in a corner of the city. It is an independent island with only one bridge and an independent dock.Although there are patrols in every market in Guicheng (but Zhang Cheng thinks it is useless, because everyone dare not mess around in this place), but there are only guards standing guard at the gate of the city.This bridge is an exception.Just like the city gate, there is a whole team of murloc soldiers on duty here.From this point of view, these cities have clearly considered this issue when designing.

Wanting to enter this place is also different from other places. People who come in must pay a high security deposit.But this is not difficult for Jiang Kao and Zhang Cheng.

It was late, but they arrived just in time to see a ship full of slaves arrive at the pier.More than twenty Huaiyi slaves were brought off the ship.

Zhang Cheng had never seen these old and weak lizardmen, women and children before, but now he finally saw them.There are still obvious differences between Lizardman women and men: they are smaller in size, have finer scales, and have slightly wider heads.This makes them look a little cute by earthling standards.Needless to say, the underage lizardmen are small in size, and almost all cling to their mothers, looking at this strange environment with fearful eyes.

Zhang Cheng may not have stayed in this slavery world long enough, so he is still not very happy with this kind of scene.

Driven by a Laiyi soldier, the group of slaves followed a slave trader to leave the pier and head for the center of the island.It should be noted that most of the Laiyi soldiers' attention was on a young Huaiyi.He kept swallowing, and licked his teeth with his tongue from time to time.Although it seems that they will rush over in the next second and eat these poor guys alive.But in the end, the Laiyi soldiers did nothing.He just performed his own job as a soldier.

Zhang Cheng noticed that Jiang Kao was very close to him and was short of breath.Ma Dan, this scene is indeed a bit scary.Lai Yi's eyes full of appetite - even if Lai Zhi and others attacked before, they did not show such a sense of hunger.

After the Huaiyi slaves came a group of Fengyi slaves.

This group of slaves is obviously another identity, that is, prisoners of war.Almost all of them are adult males, but even if they are of different races, they can feel that their expressions are depressed, and their hands are shackled.More than one of them had open wounds.

There are frequent wars in Dongyi... It seems that the rumors are true.Zhang Cheng thought to himself.

They began to follow the road on the island.The entire island can be said to be divided into two parts, which can be simply called the wholesale area and the retail area.Usually, for example, the old, the weak, women and children are in the wholesale area, and young and middle-aged men are in the retail area-of course there are also wholesale areas.Whether it is a slave or a slave trader, it involves all races.There are lizard people, snake people, jackal people, centaurs, goats, murlocs... almost all the races that Zhang Cheng has seen since he came to this world, and of course there are humans.There are no human slave traders, but there are human slaves.

These slaves should have been kidnapped by the huns, not prisoners of war.Because they look like either herdsmen or farmers from the clothes, no nobles, no warriors, not even soldiers.

Zhang Cheng noticed a few gorgeously dressed Huaiyi merchants—although many lizardmen had no clothes, these were obviously only some lizardmen, and the nobles were obviously well-dressed, perhaps even more elegantly than humans—in the crowd Wandering around, they cast their gazes here from time to time and whispered.

Zhang Cheng's heart moved, and he secretly summoned Qianmeng Demon Lord.The latter are almost invisible when they are active in this world.It was easy to get close to those Huaiyi merchants.And forward what he heard to Zhang Cheng.

"I didn't find the target at all. What's going on? We've been here for nearly 10 days..."

"Hey, this is the result of the great witch's divination, and there will be no mistakes! I'm not worried about the delay, but if someone advances, it will be troublesome..."

The word "big witch" made Zhang Cheng realize something.He stopped.At this time, he happened to be on the edge of the "wholesale area", and in front of him was a group of lizardman slaves who were about to sell.These are not strong young adults, but all old and weak women and children.They are clearly a commodity that does not sell well.So when he noticed that Zhang Cheng stopped, the slave trader directly approached him.Although he didn't speak, he was obviously waiting for the opportunity to sell his goods.

Jiang Kao was a little strange. "Brother Xian has taken a fancy to these Huaiyi?" He was a little puzzled.Selling slaves from here to Camp Hill does make some money, the problem is that if you really want to make money, there are better goods out there.Slaves are a commodity...everyone knows that.In fact, it is not very convenient goods.

Zhang Cheng made a "silence" gesture.On the surface, he was sizing up the slave, but actually he was carefully communicating with the Thousand Dreams Demon Lord.

"...These words of Zhu Xia, don't need to ask, it is impossible to be the son of Qihou..."

"The son of Marquis Qi?" That is to say, the descendant of Jiang Taigong... one of the most important princes in the east of mankind, Qi State.

From all kinds of fragmented information, it seems that the great witch of Huaiyi performed divination and was sure that the son of Marquis Qi would come to Guicheng.So the Huaiyi have been searching the city for traces of the son of Qihou.Without asking, they wanted to take this man hostage.Once the son of Qihou is captured alive, it is equivalent to gaining a very important political bargaining chip.

As for why the son of Marquis Qi came back to the city... Zhang Cheng didn't want to understand.Could it be that he came to pay a visit to Mr. Donghai?This is indeed possible.Or do you want to do business with Lai Yi?But in this case, capturing the son of Marquis Qi doesn't mean that his ambition is clearly revealed?Or start a war altogether?
However, political things are always very complicated. Although Zhang Cheng didn't want to understand it, it didn't affect his understanding of it.

So it was a misunderstanding...Wait, Mr. Jiang...Jiang Kao?His eyes turned from the Huaiyi slave in front of him to Jiang Kao.Suddenly many questions had answers.If Jiang Kao is the son of Qihou, then everything can be explained.

But Jiang Kao's level is too low.The son of Marquis Qi, even if he has no inheritance rights, will be canonized as a doctor and occupy a city as a territory.Taking Dr. Kunwu as the standard... If this doctor is not level 15 when he goes out, he would be ashamed to call himself a doctor.In other words, Jiang Kao simply belongs to the type of ignorance?

Wait, wait... He thought a lot in his mind, thought of games, thought of reality, thought of Jiang Kao's performance, thought of what happened before...

According to the timeline of the game...Jiang Kao will be captured by Xun Yun.Xiong is going to visit Mr. Donghai, which means that Jiang Kao will most likely be taken to Guicheng and sold.The big witch had predicted all of this, so it was easy for Huaiyi to buy it.

Then... because of its special value, he must be kept as a hostage.Considering the internal disputes in Dongyi, and the special status of Lord Donghai and Laiyi in Dongyi, it is the best choice to keep Jiang Kao in Guicheng and entrust Laiyi to guard him.This hostage is very important and will not be wasted at will.He will definitely be imprisoned in Guicheng for a long time.

When the player arrives at Camp Hill, the war has just ended, not even completely over.Then the player came to the city of return... When the player started the task of "rescuing the hostages", all the NPCs in the city of return became red names.

Everything makes sense, and there is no way not to be famous. Jiang Kao is a very important hostage, and he will never be let go easily.

However, if the task is successful and the player who is a sergeant successfully rescues Jiang Kao...he will be rewarded with "canonization as a doctor".

Although he is not an official with real power, and he did not really get a city (in fact, it is hard to say, maybe it is just that the game cannot show it), but now that he has been in the wild world for a long time, Zhang Cheng also understands that this is definitely a very generous reward.Doctor Kunwu wants to be promoted to a vassal, but he must take the risk of losing his territory and even the life and death of the whole family.If Zhang Cheng wants to be promoted to a doctor under Doctor Kunwu, he must complete a difficult task that is almost impossible.This also indirectly proves that the task of rescuing the hostages is very unusual.

In addition, there are items obtained in the mission... very similar to the game...

"Brother Xian, what's wrong with you looking at me like this?" Jiang Kao looked into Zhang Cheng's eyes and took two steps back in fright.
