As Yi-ni approached, a small airship suddenly appeared in the open space. After Yi-ni and Tie Xiong filed in, the airship entered stealth mode again.
Then, under the control of Iron Bear, the airship flew towards the outside of the Blood Slave Star.
When the airship flew over the Blood Slave Star and reached a secret point, a giant spaceship appeared. The airship flew directly into the giant spaceship, and then the giant spacecraft returned to its invisible state.
About half an hour later, the giant spaceship slowly began to move toward the outside of the blood-exploding star system.
As a white light lit up, the giant spaceship disappeared instantly into the blood-exploding star system at an incredible speed, and it was unknown where it went!
…
Although the Blood Slave Star in the Blood Explosion Star System is relatively desolate, it is actually not far from the stars in the galaxy, so it is still more suitable for the life of a blood person.
This is probably one of the reasons why the Imperial Viscount, who manages this star system, chose this planet as the Blood Slave Star.
After all, if the traded slaves cannot survive on this planet, it will directly affect the empire's financial revenue.
And retired people like the village chief Xuequan are actually being squeezed out of their residual value by the Blood Empire.
The reason is very simple. It is because they established villages on the Blood Slave Star and planted food that the slave trade on the entire Blood Slave Star can operate normally.
However, we cannot accuse Xuequan and the others of being accomplices, because if they did not rely on Xuequan to do these things, then the Bloodmen who were captured as slaves would probably be even more miserable due to the shortage of food. Dead.
However, although the problem of feeding these slaves can be solved, they will still be trafficked and exploited by the empire, especially those in power.
The highest person in charge of this blood slave star is Baron Xue Leng Ao.
On the Blood Slave Planet, he used some means to force the slaves to help him build a baron city for him to live in and enjoy.
There are many male attendants and maids living in the Baron City, and they are responsible for taking care of the Baron's daily life.
And those who manage them are stewards who like to flatter themselves.
Above the manager is the steward.
The butler's power is already the greatest in Baron City except for Baron Xue Leng Ao.
As long as it is something arranged by Baron Xue Leng Ao, it will basically be handled by the butler.
There are a total of three housekeepers in Baron City, and they all have their own main tasks in charge.
The chief steward is named Xue Mo, and is the most trusted confidant of Baron Xue Leng Ao. He is mainly responsible for all affairs in Baron City, and even the city's protective guards are also within his jurisdiction.
The second steward is named Xue Pu, who is also Xue Ke's uncle. He is deeply trusted by Baron Xue Leng Ao. The baron will leave some affairs to be handled by him when he leaves Baron City and goes to other areas of the Blood Slave Star.
The third steward is named Xuehua. He has been serving as a servant since he was a child, serving Xue Leng'ao, who was still young at the time. He grew up with Xue Leng'ao, and Xue Leng'ao also regarded him as a sibling and handed over his financial power to him. He is responsible for, and even supervises, the entire slave trade on the Blood Slave Star.
In addition to the three major housekeepers, the one with a higher status belongs to the captain of the escort team, Xuelao.
However, the nature of the escorts in Baron City is different from that of the Blood Empire army.
The army of the Blood Empire is mainly responsible for external operations and suppressing internal rebellions.
The person who has the right to mobilize the imperial army must at least be a viscount.
If the baron wants to mobilize troops to perform tasks, he must report it to the viscount, and the mobilization can only be done after the viscount agrees.
The Guards are different. They are the private armies of some people in power. Their duty is to protect the interests of those in power.
Just like the guards of Baron City, they are only responsible for the security of Baron City and completing the external tasks assigned by Baron Xue Leng Ao.
…
Baron City, meeting hall.
This discussion hall is very large. There is an extremely luxurious-looking seat placed in the middle of the hall, and the seat is surrounded by steps. There are ten levels of steps, forming a circular pattern surrounding the seat.
At this time, the baron was cold and arrogant, sitting on this seat and looking down.
Xue Leng Ao is estimated to be about forty years old. He has short dark red hair. Although his skin is fair, it still has a rough look. His eyes are very sharp. Coupled with his majestic body, he is sitting there. It will give people a sense of oppression.
On the ground below, there were three bloody men kneeling on one knee with their heads slightly lowered, waiting for the baron to speak.
"Xue Mo, is there anything happening in the city recently that requires my judgment?" After a period of silence in the hall, Xue Leng Ao said.
"Reporting to the Baron, everything in the city is fine recently, and there are no matters that require your personal decision." The chief steward raised his head and said humbly.
"That's good. Having you here makes me worry a lot less!" Xue Lengao nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you Baron for the compliment!" Xue Mo put his right hand on his left chest and leaned his upper body slightly forward to express his respect for the Baron.
Xue Lengao shifted his gaze and said to the third blood person below: "Xue Hua, are there any problems with the recent slave trading situation on the Blood Slave Star?"
"Reporting to the baron, the transactions are in normal condition. However, there are many slave markets where slaves have starved to death, and the current grain reserves have reached below the warning line." The third steward raised his head and said cautiously, his blood boiling.
"Huh!? How come there is a food shortage? Didn't those villages turn in food?" Xue Lengao frowned slightly and said unhappily.
"All the grain has been handed in, but the amount is very small. This is also related to the winter that just passed, and last year's grain harvest was much lower than in previous years."
"Furthermore, this also involves the situation of the orc tribe grabbing food. Although they dare not attack the village directly, they will set up ambushes on the food road to grab food. We have already lost several batches of food because of this reason. "After saying this, Xue Hua lowered his head again, not daring to look at Xue Leng Ao again.
"Hmph! What a bunch of trash, can't they even handle some orcs?" Xue Leng'ao said a little angrily: "Xue Ao, go and inform the villages that provide food. Except for the rations for planting crops and farmers, all the rest of the food will be left behind." Hand it over, if any village dares to hide food privately and thereby affect the slave trade, this village will no longer need to exist!"
"Yes, I will notify you immediately!" Xue Hua quickly raised his head and said firmly to Xue Leng Ao, but then he said in a questioning tone: "It's just that the orc tribe, if it goes out to grab food again... "
"Do what you need to do first!" Xue Leng Ao interrupted him without waiting for him to finish. Xue Hua was so frightened that he could only nod his head in agreement, then lowered his head and dared not speak any more.
Xue Leng Ao glanced at him coldly, then turned his head and looked at the second kneeling Blood Man and said: "Xue Pu, let you be responsible for this matter, let the orc tribe suffer a little. By the way, we can also capture some orcs as a means of blackmailing them. If there are many of them, they can also be used as slaves."
Upon hearing this, the second steward Xue Pu immediately replied: "I obey my orders."
Immediately afterwards, Xue Lengao ordered Xue Mo again: "Xue Mo, please talk to Xue Lao and ask him to cooperate with Xue Pu and follow Xue Pu's arrangements in everything."
The chief steward replied silently, "I obey my orders."
"Okay, you two go down first, Xue Pu stays here, I have something to tell you to do." Xue Lengao pointed at Xue Mo and Xue Hua with his finger, and then said to Xue Pu.
"As ordered." The three managers below responded at the same time.
Afterwards, Xue Mo and Xue Hua got up and walked out of the hall.
After Xue Mo and Xue Hua completely walked out of the meeting hall, Xue Lengao tapped the handle of the seat with his right finger.
When the guards standing outside the hall heard this, they immediately closed the door to the meeting hall.
"Xue Pu, after you have arranged the matter of the orc tribe, let Xue Lao handle it on his own. How are you preparing for the matters I told you before?" Xue Leng said arrogantly.
"Baron, please don't worry. Everything that needs to be prepared has been collected. The next step is to find that place." Xue Pu raised his head and said respectfully.
Xue Lengao nodded and said: "Well, I still recognize your ability to do things. But when doing this, you must be more secretive. In order to obtain this important information, I paid a lot of money. If that guy Xue Wuming finds out, I probably won’t even be able to drink a sip of soup, do you understand?”
"Of course this subordinate knows that I collect these things through some secret channels. Therefore, it takes a relatively long time. I would also like to ask Baron Haihan." Xue Pu put his right hand on his left chest. Apologize to Xue Leng Ao.
Xue Leng Ao waved his hand and said: "It's nothing. Anyway, the news about that place was originally circulated among the empire's senior officials as some rumors. Many blood people thought that place did not exist at all. If Even if I have obtained reliable information, I may think those rumors are not credible, so as long as that place is not exposed, we still have a lot of time available."
"However, in this information, it only gives the general location of the place, and briefly describes the obstacles that the great power may leave. But where are the specific locations and how to pass through the obstacles? That’s your goal for this trip.”
"I actually want to go with you, but in order to cover your actions, I can only stay here. I hope you won't disappoint me!"
After saying this, Xue Lengao smiled evilly at Xue Pu who raised his head.
Xue Pu shuddered all over. He still knew some of the Baron's methods. If he couldn't complete this important task, he would probably be worse off than dead in the future.
