Also on January 26, on the mountain road outside Fushun, a group of people were riding eastward.
Needless to say, everyone can guess that these people are Huang Donglai, Sun Yixie, Linghu Xiang, Lin Yuancheng, Jiang Muchan and Qin Feng.
It was obvious that the six of them were going to join in the excitement of the "fight for the leader of the Green Forest Road".
Seeing this, some people may want to ask, this group of them...except for Jiang Muchan, all of them are from the "Jianghu Road", why are they going to take care of the affairs of the Green Forest Road?
There are two reasons for the endorsement in this book.
First, when Jiang Muchan's master was still alive, he had some connections with Gong Lianjun. In terms of seniority, the two of them should actually be considered contemporaries in the Longmen Gang; although the former was later kicked out for something. He joined the Longmen Gang, but he still remembered his friendship with Gong Lianjun until his death, so he also asked Jiang Muchan to repay his kindness to Master Gong if he had the chance.
Now that Gong Lianjun is dead, he has no choice but to give up on repaying his gratitude, but Jiang Muchan still has to do this to express his condolences to his old friend on behalf of his master.
Secondly, Zizu Tingfeng, the general manager of the Green Forest Road Overland Road, has always had business contacts with Huangmen in Shuzhong... What kind of business are you asking about? I can only tell you that Fushun is a place that produces salt. , and Huangmen is the oldest local snake in Fushun, that’s all...
In short, if Zu Tingfeng succeeds in becoming the "leader" this time, then the cooperative relationship and interest division between him and Huangmen are likely to change in the future, so Mr. Huang hopes to have a trustworthy person to replace him. He made a trip to Guangzhou to see what was going on and what the outcome would be.
It just so happened that the young people who had been staying in Huangmen for the whole Spring Festival also wanted to go out for a walk. So, let Huang Donglai take everyone to Guangzhou to explore; anyway, Huang Donglai now has a good reputation and martial arts. He is a top figure among his peers, and Mr. Huang is very relieved to let him go out and try his luck.
In this way, the six of them embarked on a journey east to the Central Plains and south to Guangzhou.
This morning, six people were walking in the mountains. They were talking and laughing, very relaxed, but unexpectedly, halfway through, there was a sudden sound of fighting in front of them.
Of course, they won't panic because of this - the most likely thing is that someone is robbing Daoer. In their eyes, this kind of thing is similar to an "experience package".
Therefore, the six people just exchanged glances and without saying a word, they all shook their reins and rushed forward.
The horse turned a corner along the mountain road, and within a hundred steps, they saw two groups of people fighting in the middle of the road: On one side, there were only a few people left, leaning on three carriages, struggling to support themselves, while on the other side, they were struggling to support themselves. On one side, there are twenty others.
"Huh?" Seeing six young men with weapons coming on horseback, the robbery party also reacted. At that time, one person turned his horse's head, stopped in front of the six people, and shouted to them, "Which way are you going?" ?”
Huang Donglai heard this and said in his heart: I am the majestic young master of Huangmen, this is Fushun territory, how dare you speak to me so loudly?
So, he immediately used a more arrogant tone than the other party and asked back: "Where are you from?"
The robber was also a ruthless man who licked blood from his knife edge, and he and his accomplices were fighting with someone just now. It was the time when adrenaline was surging and they were getting fierce. How could they be intimidated by a kid in his twenties? So he immediately shouted: "Are you blind? Grandpas specialize in 'eating old men', can't you see that?"
All six young heroes knew his slang, they were just professional robbers.
"Okay! Just admit it!" The next second, Lin Yuancheng, who was already ready to make a move, responded first.
When he finished speaking, he had already jumped up from the horse. The moment his figure flew over the head of the robber, the latter's head also left his body.
"We have an idea!" The other robbers were also paying attention to the situation here. When they saw Lin Yuancheng using Qinggong to kill him, they quickly sent out their men to deal with the enemy.
It's a pity that their strength is too weak... so weak that they can't see how big the gap between Lin Yuancheng and them is in a short period of time, so no one has time to beg for mercy or escape.
In less than fifteen seconds, the group of robbers was killed by Lin Yuancheng. At this time, Huang Donglai and the other five people just walked up slowly with their horses.
"You...you are..." At this time, the brothers who were robbed with their backs against the carriage were a little panicked.
Mainly because what Lin Yuancheng did just now was beyond their understanding, which made them very scared, and even a little doubted whether the six people in front of them were humans or ghosts.
"Don't be afraid, everyone, we are from the 'Hunyuan Star Gate'." Huang Donglai saw the fear of these people, so he took the initiative to explain, "I just saw an uneven road and drew my sword to help. I never meant to harm you. .”
"Uh... Oh, it turns out he is a young hero from the 'Hunyuan Star Gate'. I have admired him for a long time! Thank you all young heroes for saving my life!" Most of these people who are doing business outside are smart people. They take advantage of the slope and push the boat along. Of course, they can say it. Even if they hear the words "Hunyuan Star Gate" for the first time today, they will still say it for a long time.
"Hey~ It's easy to do, but it's a pity that we arrived a step late. If we could have arrived earlier, we might be able to save more people." Huang Donglai also said some words to be polite to the other party.
At the same time, Sun Yixie narrowed his little eyes and glanced at the three carriages behind the businessmen.
These carriages were obviously specially modified for hauling goods. The carriages at the rear were enlarged as much as possible. The goods on the carriages were fixed with hemp ropes, and the tops were covered with thick linen cloth to secure the goods. Cover it up tightly.
At first glance, this is nothing special, because most people who travel long distances to do business will handle their trucks like this. As the saying goes, "wealth should not be revealed"... people will rob you even if your goods are not exposed. If you don't cover it up and show off in the market, then why not? Remarkable?
However, at this moment, there was a carriage that caught Sun Yixie's attention.
Because Sun Yixie smelled a smell from the covered chassis of the car - the smell of shit.
To be exact, it smells like human shit.
In those days, it was not surprising that you could smell horse manure on a carriage, because the horse might leave a mess on its buttocks as it walked, and then the wheels and bottom of the carriage might be splashed with some.
However, the smell of human feces is generally not present in cars.
Because if a person has a stomachache while walking on the road, he or she will get out of the car and find a place to deal with it. It is impossible to pull it in the car.
Unless... this person is trapped in the car and can't get out.
Seeing this, someone may want to ask again, so let's forget about Huang Donglai. After all, he has been trained since childhood and has an extremely sensitive sense of smell, but this Sun Yixie... can he still tell whether it is a human or a horse when he smells shit?
Actually, if you were born in an era when transportation basically relied on horses, or if you often came into contact with horses, you would be able to tell the difference.
The smell of the feces of many animals is obviously different from that of humans. Even ordinary people’s sense of smell is enough to tell the difference. If you don’t believe it, ask those who keep cats at home. As long as they often shovel feces, they can basically tell the difference between human and human feces. Cats are different.
Getting back to the topic, Sun Yixie, who smelled the smell, immediately began to have thoughts in his mind.
Is there someone locked up in this car?
Could it be that these guys who were robbed were also human traffickers themselves?
When it comes to human traffickers, slaves come to mind. When it comes to slaves, it makes people wonder whether it is a beautiful girl from a foreign race...
Thinking of this, Brother Sun's two-dimensional DNA started to move. Two seconds later, he strode towards the truck that smelled of shit, and without saying a word, he covered the truck with the piece. The cloth on the bed was lifted.
Those businessmen were also caught off guard. They did not expect that one of them would suddenly make such a move.
Not to mention them, Huang Donglai and others didn't know what song Brother Sun was singing.
Soon enough, just when everyone was surprised and confused by Sun Yixie's behavior, the "cargo" loaded on the carriage was also revealed.
On the chassis of the car, there is a large iron cage that is as tall as a person. Its size is about the same as our modern elevator car. There is indeed a person locked in that cage, but it is not a beautiful girl, but a black uncle; this There was a bucket at Uncle Hei's feet, and the smell Sun Yixie smelled came from the bucket.
Ladies and gentlemen, I wonder if you still remember, we mentioned in the previous article that when the "Fire Lotus Immortal" Shi Xuanzi was still alive, he once sent a "Kunlun Slave" to the young prince Zhu of Jining Lu Palace. Well, at that time Shi Xuanzi still held an iron plate with the Kunlun slave's name engraved on it, but it was later stolen by Jiang Muchan, and then fell into the hands of Sun and Huang.
Three words were engraved on the iron plate - "Tyrrell".
If you think about it, you should understand... At the moment, the "black uncle" they met is the Tyrell who appeared in the previous article.
So how did he appear here?
It's very simple. After the fall of the Fire Lotus Sect, Prince Lu's palace quickly lost power. Zhu Yue was placed under house arrest by the imperial court and was unable to move around. Even his followers were scattered. How could he still have the leisure to "tame" some Kunlun slaves? So he asked his servants to find a way to sell Tyrell.
In the following months, Tyrell was "resold" several times, and finally fell into the hands of the group of people in front of him.
This group of people is indeed a businessman, but they are not engaged in ordinary business, but specialize in reselling "rare and exotic goods". To them, this "Kunlun slave" is just one of the goods, except for Tyrell's In addition, their other two vehicles also contained a lot of various specialties from Myanmar, as well as "huge animal bones" that had just been dug out from nearby Dashanpu.
"Oh~" After a few seconds of shock, Sun Yixie looked at Uncle Black in the cage and said a thoughtful curse word.
Huang, Lin, Jiang, Qin, and Linghu were all surprised when they saw Tyrell. After all, black people are still very rare in Dashu's land, and some people have never seen one in their lives.
"This..." Huang Donglai was a time traveler after all, so he was the first to calm down, turned to the businessmen and said, "...are you not selling people?"
"No, no, no! Where did you start talking about this, young hero?" The businessmen all looked very aggrieved and hurriedly explained, "We are serious businessmen, and we will not touch any child or skinny horse... This Kunlun Slaves are barbarians, and the court doesn't care when they are bought or sold."
They are also telling the truth. Although Dashu does not support the buying and selling of these so-called "Kunlun slaves and Silla maids", Dashu has not clearly stated in Dashu's laws what penalties there will be for buying and selling such "commodities", and because these people are It seems that they are all "barbarians" and have no legal status. So when you say this is a "population", the definition is also very subtle.
In short, this is a relatively vague gray area. Because the market is small and there are very few cases, no one is in charge.
"Well..." Huang Donglai also fell into deep thought after hearing the other party's answer.
According to the standards of this world, there seems to be nothing wrong with what these businessmen said, but Huang Donglai, as a modern man who was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze, saw a living person locked in a cage as a pawn. Selling, I always feel a little uncomfortable.
While he was hesitating, the businessmen also gathered together and whispered a few words quickly. After a while, one of them stepped forward and said with a smile: "Haha, young hero, we have discussed it, otherwise... This 'Kunlun Slave' should be given to you as a thank you gift to thank you for saving your life."
"Huh?" Huang Donglai and his group all had the same reaction.
But the merchants seemed to have already made their decision: "Young hero, don't worry too much, we didn't spend much money to buy him. Besides, we think what you just said makes sense. With him, we have more or less." As for the suspicion of 'human trafficking', it would be better to hand him over to the young heroes."
After the man said this, he thanked him several times, and then the gang collected the bodies of several companions on the ground and drove away in two other carriages.
Shuang Xie and the other six were left on the mountain road full of bandit corpses, staring blankly at a carriage carrying Uncle Hei.
"What's going on?" After a long time, Linghu Xiang said this to himself as if he was talking to himself.
But in fact... this "situation" is not difficult to understand.
First of all, after the robbery, the group of businessmen lost a lot of people. It would be good if the few remaining people can take care of the goods on the other two carriages. It is not a bad thing to abandon one carriage; secondly, if Some goods must be discarded, and the Kunlun slave who has to eat, drink, and defecate every day, and who has to be cleaned up by someone to prevent him from escaping, is undoubtedly the first choice. After all, there are fewer people now, and it is harder to squeeze out the manpower to "serve" him; Thirdly, Huang Donglai's "faced expression" when facing Tyrell and the notion of "human trafficking" did make those businessmen concerned... In summary, be a favor and treat Tyrell It is indeed a good choice for you to "give" it to these young heroes.
Now that things have come to this, everyone can only accept the facts before them.
After a while, Huang Donglai walked to Tyrell's cage, looked him over, and then said: "Hey, brother, can you speak our language?"
After the words fell, Tyrell, who was sitting in the cage, just continued to be in a daze with an indifferent expression, without even looking outside.
In fact, it's not that Tyrell doesn't understand Chinese at all. After all, he has been being resold back and forth in Dashu for nearly a year. He is exposed to it every day and has learned more or less, but he can't speak it well. The reason why he ignores people is because so far, all the Central Plains people he has met, no matter whether they are good or bad, basically do not treat him as a human being, only treat him as a "goods", so he has already treated him There is no hope for his fate.
But, at this moment, Huang Donglai did something that made Tyrell almost suspect that he was hallucinating...
"Heyman, what's your name?"
