Chapter 29 Entering Fero City for the First Time

"Stop..." On this day, the convoy had already entered Yunzhou, Guangde, and two women, one old and one young, stood at the intersection, blocking the road in front of the convoy.

The normally smiling man, with his eyes shining coldly, picked up the steel knife and protected the convoy. The strong man in the lead jumped out of the car and ran to the front of the convoy.But when he saw the old woman's eyes, all the muscles in his body trembled.

"Senior, what advice do you have?" The brawny man, as a heavenly powerhouse, naturally has good eyesight. He can tell at a glance that the old woman in front is extremely imposing, and he is definitely not something he can offend.

"Have you ever seen this person?" The old woman waved her hand, and the girl took out a portrait and unfolded it in front of the strong man. On the portrait, it was a handsome young man, about 20 years old, dressed gorgeously, and he could tell at a glance that he was a child of an aristocratic family. .

The strong man looked closely, shook his head, waved his hands and said to the back: "Brothers, come and have a look, has anyone seen this man?" This strong man looks reckless, but in fact he is as careful as he is, and can travel long distances to traffic slaves Yes, there is no real reckless man, otherwise he would have died long ago.

The few men behind him, whose cultivation base is not too high, naturally can't see how powerful this old woman is, but they trust their elder brother's eyesight, and they step up to watch one by one, shaking their heads together, they can be sure that they have never seen a painting superior person.

The girl seemed dissatisfied, and pointed to the long motorcade behind.The old woman nodded helplessly and said, "The one behind is a slave car?" Although the old woman never paid attention to such dirty business, it didn't mean she didn't understand.

"Exactly." The brawny man said, there is nothing to hide. Although the slave trade may be looked down upon by others as detrimental to morality, it is a legitimate business after all, and there is nothing shameful about it.

"Open the cage cloth, the old woman wants to take a look." The old woman said.

The strong man's face was not very good-looking, and the brother behind him was even more angry. This slave trade has its own rules, and it must be covered with black cloth when driving all the way.Older slaves can still find out where they came from when they arrive at a place. Younger slaves don’t know where they came from at all. This will allow them to accept the arrangement of fate with more peace of mind and reduce trouble for slave buyers. This is the so-called The rules cannot be changed lightly.

"Open the cage." The strong man was unwilling at first, but seeing the cold light in the woman's eyes, he was sure that if he didn't follow her instructions, maybe none of the hundred and ten people under him would survive.This is still a land of poor mountains and bad waters, and the old woman is not afraid of killing people at all.

The black cloth on the fifteen slave carts was pulled back half way, enough for all the slaves inside to be seen.People who are crushed into slave cars will naturally not have a good look. It is good to be disheveled. Many men and women are completely naked.It’s been more than a month since I came all the way from Qingzhou in Bahuang. More than 20 people are crowded in one car, like pigs and dogs. face.

The old woman and the young girl were in a bad mood every time they passed by, and even took a look at them, especially the young girl, who couldn't bear to look at them any longer.

Seeing these two people walking towards the slave car, Ren Daoyuan trembled all over, and his heart was agitated. These two people were the ones who wanted to save him that day, most likely they were the ancestors of the Ren family, and she hadn't given up on herself yet.

During this period of time, I thought that Ren Daoyuan's health was much better, and the pain at the broken bone was not so bad, but his throat was swollen like a small steamed bun, and he couldn't speak a word at all.

He desperately wanted to reach out, but the kind man beside him pressed his hands and whispered in his ear: "Brother, don't get excited, these two are just passing by, they won't save slaves."

In normal times, how could this ordinary man be able to hold him down, but now, his strength is not enough, the broken bones in his body have not fully healed, and he can't use his strength, but he can't make a sound, he can only shed tears, watching To the two women, hoping to attract their attention.

Until now, Ren Daoyuan didn't know that because his face touched the water first, his entire face was deformed, and it was impossible to recover in a short time. Even if he stood in front of the two women, it was impossible for others to recognize him.

As for watching them cry and wave their hands, there are many slaves like this, but it is just a glimmer of hope in their hearts that they can be rescued.The two women didn't come to rescue the slaves at all, not to mention that the slave traders were also risking their lives. Apart from being a little immoral, people couldn't say anything at all.

Although the two women are unhappy, they will not end their lives.As long as there is demand, such a slave trade team will continue to exist. How many people can they save?After being rescued, how to arrange slaves?

The two women kept walking until the last slave car, and the old woman sighed softly: "Fool, let's go."

"Teacher, let's look east, maybe he went to Middle Earth." The girl still didn't give up, but the old woman hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you, you can go wherever you want."

The Gannan River flows southward, and it is impossible to go to Qianzhou in the east in any case.This girl is unwilling to give up, that's fine, just go out with her to relax, after a long time, she will always give up.

The old woman and the young girl had traveled all over the area, first the caravans, then the slave carts, and even checked the Orion villages in the mountains, but there was still no result.Now, even the girl is about to give up, but she refuses to give up, leaving a little hope for herself.Maybe... maybe he went east...

The two women left, and the slave transport team continued to move forward. The strong man stopped his subordinates from cursing indiscriminately. He could tell that the old woman's cultivation level was frighteningly high, definitely above the star rank. Such a person would curse behind his back. It's not good, who knows if people can hear it from a distance.

If people are in a good mood, they will naturally not take their bitterness seriously. If they are upset, they will kill them if they kill them. Where are they going to reason?Those two women were obviously looking for someone, and they couldn't find them. It would be strange if they were in a better mood. At this time, they must not touch bad luck.

The slave transport team is a very boring and dangerous business. In order to guarantee the price of slaves, they travel all the way, ranging from thousands of miles to tens of thousands of miles.The brawny man has more than a hundred brothers, which means there are more than a hundred families. Naturally, the daily expenses are not small, and the income is less, and it is not enough to feed everyone.

This transaction, from north to south, spanned thousands of miles across states and sent more than 300 slaves. As long as everything goes well, the rewards will be extremely generous.

The journey was not bad, although passing through several poor mountains and dangerous places, met more than a dozen groups of small strongmen, and seeing the large number of convoys, they did not dare to make a real move, and arrived in Yunzhou without any damage.

Until the convoy entered the city, the brawny leader, who usually looked at nothing and didn't care, finally let out a sigh of relief.Finally, half of the work is done, and the next step is to look at the market for slaves.

In the mainland of Kyushu, there are slave traders everywhere, and there are slave markets in every city, but the prices vary greatly.Middle-earth Qianzhou has the largest population and the most wealthy people. The demand for slaves is not low, but the requirements are too high. It is difficult to sell high prices for slaves who are not stunning girls and experienced slave craftsmen.Other states varied and had different requirements for slaves.

Yunzhou is not rich. Right now, Feiluo City has a large population, but most of them are poor people.However, there is a good deal in Feiluo City, and that is the largest iron prison in the Baida Empire in Yunzhou, Guangde.

The so-called Iron Supervisor, whose full name is the Ironware Manufacturing Supervisor, owns several iron mines, several coal mines, and several of the largest iron-making supervisors in Yunzhou.With the iron supervisor, there are more places to employ people.In particular, opening mountains and breaking mines, and smelting iron and making utensils require many strong men.

Local people in Yunzhou are unwilling to do such a job. Although the wages are not high, it is difficult to figure out after entering the iron prison.Moreover, the work of mining and ironing, except for a few that require craftsmanship, requires hard work. It is not only tiring, but also dangerous. Countless people die in the mines every year.

In order to ensure the production of the iron prison, the Baida Empire needs a large number of slaves to join the iron prison every year. Anyway, slaves have no human rights, and they die when they die.The slaves who entered the iron prison had poor food, little sleep, the hardest work, and quick death.

Ferro iron prison does not accept slaves at all times. There is a fixed time every year. At this time, the various departments of the iron prison, the slaves admitted in the previous year, are almost dead, and those who are not dead are not far from death. A large number of slaves are needed to supplement. At this time, it can naturally be sold at a relatively good price.

And there is another advantage of selling it to Ferro Iron Supervisor, that is, there are many people who want it, and it can be sold at one time without waiting too long.You know, the slave transport team has about a hundred people. If you live in other places for a long time, the cost will be even greater. If the slaves cannot be sold, you will have to wait for half a year in March. It's not enough to spend.

Naturally, the slave trade team lived in the car shop with the worst conditions. There were many car shops of this kind in Fero City, and the floor was full of dirty water and dirt, and no one cleaned it.Yunu people lived in Datong shop, and they ate dry biscuits and rice soup, which was a bit bitter, but it saved money.One trip a year is worth several trips elsewhere.

As for slaves, they are not human beings. There are large iron cages in the car shop, and a cage is full of hundreds of slaves.Anyway, this is the largest iron prison in the Baida Empire, and it lacks everything else, except iron.

It has been more than a month since I met Master Xing until I entered Feiluo City.With his youth and good physique, coupled with the unclear potion, and secretly eating some porridge from the space Taoist vessel, Ren Daoyuan has almost recovered.Along the way, it's not that he didn't think about escaping, but the slave transportation team was very strict, and there were not many experts among them. Ren Daoyuan knew that with his high-level cultivation base, he had not fully recovered, and he had no weapons in his hands, so he wanted to escape. Going out is difficult and difficult, so we can only find opportunities slowly.

Once in the slave cage, it is even more impossible to escape, not to mention there are hundreds of slaves around, hundreds of pairs of eyes watching, even if these people are dedicated, the iron cage with thick arms is not something he can break open.From time to time, I sigh secretly in my heart, if the horizontal knife is in hand, it will be much easier.

In the past few days in the slave cage, the food has obviously improved a lot. Not only can I eat enough, but I actually ate a meal of meat in three days.Obviously, this is a small trick of the slave transporters to make these slaves look alive, so that they can be sold for a good price.
