Magician little princess

Chapter 196

Seeing Bai Xiuyu standing upright, Guanyue and Ouyang Shaoqing suddenly showed lewd smiles, and immediately looked away, "Shame on you!" The two exchanged lips.

"Father, mother is leaving." Xiao Baiyou yelled kindly when she saw her father staring at her in a daze.

Bai Xiuyu's attention was drawn back by the crisp voice, only then did he realize that Zhuge Xiaoxiao had been dragged by Nalan Zhen to look at the peddler.

"Yo, good son!" Bai Xiuyu hugged Xiao Baiyou with one hand, and Xiao Baiyou also unceremoniously lay on his father's shoulder, so that he would grow taller.

After all, the capital is the capital, no matter how poor the country is, the capital still has a prosperity different from other places.It's just that this kind of prosperity cannot be compared with other countries on the mainland.

It was the first time for Xiao Baiyou to see the largest place in his country, his eyes were full of curiosity, he grabbed his father's clothes and looked at this and that for a while.

A group of people are going to find a place to live first, and the inn is of course the most suitable place, because they don't want to use status issues to make themselves look more high-end.Even if he wanted to enter the palace to meet the emperor, that would be a matter later.

But this time, they had to change their minds.

Because they left three inns in a row, all three inns have been booked!

Afterwards, the four foxes dispersed to look for other places, and there was no doubt that they were full. Bai Xiuyu waited at the same spot, and finally decided that if the four foxes still had no place to stay when they came back, they would go to the inn.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't get in the way..." The arrogant and domineering voice came from behind the crowd.

There was a panic among the crowd, Zhuge Xiaoxiao and Nalan Zhen were still looking at some exquisite clay products on the side of the road, but the crowd suddenly surged, and the two of them were also pushed aside.

Bai Xiuyu hugged Xiaobaiyou and followed closely beside Zhuge Xiaoxiao, holding her to prevent the crowd from crushing her.

Nalan Zhen was stepped on several times, and she wanted to curse.

The people on both sides were dispersed, and the sound of clanging chains sounded extremely dull.

Through the gap between the crowded heads, Zhuge smiled, Bai Xiuyu and the others saw a scene that made them frown——

A group of people wearing collars and tattered clothes formed a long line, with heavy shackles on their hands and feet, as well as the collars on their necks. The person who opened the way at the front led the "prisoner", and the people behind followed one by one. There were still quite a few arrogant men around with their whips, and those in shackles were greeted when they walked a little slower.

The original residents seemed to be familiar with this situation, but many people around them sighed faintly.

A series of twenty or thirty people in shackles were dragged away.The crowd gradually dispersed.

"Poor..." An elderly man stood in front of Zhuge Xiaoxiao and sighed.

"Old man, what's going on?" Zhuge Xiaoxiao was puzzled and asked the question.

The old man turned around and saw Zhuge Xiaoxiao and the others, looked him up and asked, "Aren't you from our country?"

"We came from the ancient kingdom of Loulan." Nalan Zhen said, "Old man, are those people in shackles prisoners?"

"It's not a prisoner, it's better if it's a prisoner!" The old man said sadly, then turned and left without continuing.

Zhuge Xiaoxiao and Bai Xiuyu Nalanzhen looked at each other, it was the first time they had heard that the prisoner was well.

"Mother, those people are slaves." Xiao Baiyou said.

"slave?"

"That's right, it's a slave." Mo Ziyan, Wu Shishi and others who were isolated on the other side came over.

Guanyue frowned, and explained to Bai Xiuyu and the others: "The original residence is only living in such poverty. In fact, it has nothing to do with Xinguo."

Xinguo, a powerful country on the mainland, is also the only slavery country.The biggest difference between a slavery country and a feudal autocratic monarchy is the slavery.

Slaves in slavery countries are even worse than livestock, and the class division is extremely serious.

The Kingdom of Xin is located in the most southwestern part of the mainland. It is separated from the ancient Loulan Kingdom by a plain, part of it is bordered by the Xiwala Desert, and the other half is connected to the original residence and the Kingdom of God.For hundreds of years, Xinguo has been a slavery system, and most of their slaves were brought from their original homes.

Human traffickers, prisoners of war, poverty...

Over time, Xinguo became a powerful group of thieves. They turned the original residents into slaves, and then brought them back to their own country, selling, trading and so on.

Compared with slaves, prisoners are indeed better than slaves. At least prisoners may still have freedom and do not need to do that kind of coolie.However, if you are branded as a slave, you will never be able to touch freedom for the rest of your life. Even if you die, you will still bear the identity of a slave in the end.

Guanyue always thought it was just a rumor, but she didn't want to. This rumor was confirmed when they came to the original residence.

Zhuge smiled and frowned after listening to it. It is not that she has never heard of the country of slavery before, but if you look at it from the perspective of the history of the original world, slavery is already a backwardness of an era, even if it is not capitalism or society. doctrine, or at least an absolute monarchy.

slavery...slaves...

"Master." Silver Fox and Snow Fox came back first.

Bai Xiuyu knew the situation by looking at them, but he still asked, "Is there still no room?"

Silver Fox and Snow Fox shook their heads.

"Excuse me, are you the Ninth Prince of Xixia Kingdom?" A voice suddenly appeared from one side.

The plan to stay in the station was temporarily ruined, because they were brought into the palace where they lived without the slightest hesitation.

It is different from the ancient kingdom of Loulan, different from the kingdom of Yue, and also different from the kingdom of God. The original palace... how to put it, it seems to be just a bigger house, and the luxury is not much. There is a world of difference between a small country and a kingdom of God.

At any rate, there is a temple on top of the King's Palace, which occupies a wider area, but looking at the original palace now, it's really... weird.
