Chapter 491 491: One Hundred Thousand Banners Kill Yama (Part 6) [Please vote]
Everyone is silent, and it is dark in the middle of the night.
There is a slave market in the corner of Shiwu King's capital.
Specially set aside for the business of buying and selling slaves. As the center of political power in Shiwu, the royal capital has a huge demand for slaves. Slaves were also classified into different categories based on age, gender, age, body shape, appearance and other criteria.
For example, young and beautiful women were bought to serve as female slaves, while young and strong men were bought to be used as hard labor.
There were also slaves who were thrown into fighting beasts and pushed into the Colosseum to fight with the beasts to the death. The rich and powerful placed bets for entertainment. He then asked the slave to use his body to serve the trained ferocious beast with more serious words. Xungui sat on the high platform and enjoyed the heart-rending screams of the slave below.
Slaves are the lowest existence in Shiwu.
They are not considered human beings.
Killing them certainly does not count as murder.
Killing a slave is as casual as breaking a bowl you don't like, just buy a replacement after death.
Therefore, the turnover of slaves here is extremely rapid.
Except for slaves, those who care for slaves, and those who purchase slaves, there are usually no outsiders here. Firstly, this place is remote and desolate; secondly, the surrounding environment is filthy and smelly, and slaves' feces and urine can be seen in any corner.
I’m glad it’s still the coldest month of winter.
If it is the dog days of summer, the weather is hot and the sun is shining, these feces and urine will be fermented and then dispersed into the air...
It can be smelled from three to five feet away, making people vomit.
How could a high-ranking dignitary stoop to visit?
Even the defense is the most lax.
Because the slaves simply did not dare to escape.
If you don’t run away, you can live longer. Once you run away and are caught, the consequences will be worse than death, and you will undergo inhuman torture before death. On one occasion before, the slave owner ordered his slaves to cut a long gash from head to toe, and then poured mercury into the wound on the top of his head. The slave was in unbearable pain, struggled to escape, and actually peeled off a piece of human skin alive. !
The slaves watching the execution were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
As soon as night fell, the slaves obediently returned to their tents, hugged the moldy and tattered thin quilt, and tried to curl up and fall asleep.
A small tent can sleep thirty or forty people.
Fortunately, there are many people who can keep warm, so we won’t freeze to death.
Rustling, rustling.
Every strange sound seemed particularly clear in this silent night. The slave near the edge of the tent tightened the tattered clothes around him, reluctantly turned over, pushed away the smelly feet of someone who was on his face, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
A long while passed.
Outside the camp, very far away——
The sound of extremely light footsteps passed by my ears like the wind, and the sound of the night wind blowing the wild grass was louder than it.
Unknown to anyone, figures emerged from the ground one after another.
“Bah, it stinks!”
The stench that hits your face is powerful.
“Is this a pit dug?”
This complaint is as light as if it is held in the mouth.
No one heard it except the owner of the voice.
One after another, people crawled out of the hidden holes. Their clothes and exposed skin were deliberately dirty. In addition, most ordinary people have night blindness, so that they can perfectly blend into the night. , sneaking in quietly.
At a rough count, there were more than five hundred people.
The leaders are naturally the bold and talented Xu Quan, and the indifferent Bai Su. Shen Tang was originally not prepared to let Bai Su sneak into the city, not because he didn't trust her ability, but because she had a short time to practice martial arts and there were many dangers and changes in the city.
She is ready to cultivate Bai Su.
Wouldn’t it be a pity if it were folded here?
Bai Su naturally refused to agree.
She said in a deep voice: [My lord has good intentions and accepts it with all his heart, but throughout the ages, no military general has made great achievements without taking risks. Which of them doesn’t have their heads tucked into their waistbands? At the end of his life, how could he be so virtuous as to make the lord partial? 】
Even if she is partial, it is because of her military achievements.
Now Bai Su thinks he is not qualified. [I beg my lord to let the last general go into battle! 】
Shen Tang opened his mouth.
After a while, he sighed and agreed.
She said: [That’s fine, but the city is dangerous, so be careful. I know you have been traveling around the world since you were a child, so you don’t need me to remind you again and again, but there is one thing you must keep in mind - you are a piece of jade, filled with brilliance, so don’t take yourself lightly! 】
Bai Su is a precious piece of uncut jade, and her importance to Shen Tang is much heavier than she thought!
Enduring the noise in his chest, Bai Su responded.
【Wei! 】
This time the infiltration was led by Xu Quan and assisted by Bai Su.
Just wait for the order from outside the city and act.
Xu Quan squeezed his shoulders and said with a smile: "Today I can finally go on a killing spree. I have been digging holes for half a month, and my martial arts of housekeeping and food are almost rusty." He didn't want to go back to the hall next time. My brother wrote home and asked if he had made any progress, and he replied that he was good at digging holes.
If this is the case, his cousin can come over and chop him down.
With a cold face, Bai Su quietly broke the neck of a slave guard who had woken up at night, and hid the limp body.
"Don't take it lightly!"
Xu Quan was not afraid of her either.
After getting along for a long time, he found that Bai Su is a typical person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He talks tough but is very considerate in actual actions. Although he is obviously younger than him, his behavior is extremely mature. Xu Quan smiled and narrowed his eyes: "With military success ahead, it is inevitable to be excited."
Bai Su pursed her lips.
Actually——
She was also quite excited.
Before, I had attacked those tribes, and I had won a lot of military honors, but I always felt that something was missing. This time when she came to the capital of Shiwu, the center of Shiwu's political power was at her feet, but she was able to lead people to sneak in quietly and show off in the enemy's base camp.
The experience is completely different.
Xu Quan still wanted to say a few words of laughter to relieve the tension, but suddenly felt something, his expression suddenly became serious, and he raised his hand.
Said in a deep voice: "It's coming!"
Bai Su and others tensed their nerves.
Their location was carefully calculated so that Earth Dragon's rollover would be least affected. The terrain was wide and there were no guards patrolling it. When chaos occurs, you can set fire and kill all the way, use intentionality to defeat unintentional, use fast to defeat slow, and expand the victory!
Almost the moment Xu Quan's voice fell, deep in the ground beneath their feet, several different black and white literary auras quickly filled every part of the cave, one of which was particularly strong. In the darkness, there seemed to be a ferocious beast opening its bloodthirsty eyes.
Outside the royal city.
Jiang Sheng looked at the city wall on the horizon with cold eyes, opened his thin lips and said: "It's dotted with stars!"
If you can see the distribution of underground culture, you will find that they are criss-crossed in an orderly manner, and several strands of culture form a chessboard in tacit understanding. On the chessboard, strange phenomena occurred frequently, wind, fire, thunder and lightning swept across crazily, and finally condensed into a giant dragon lying on the bed.
“Cut!”
One word fell.
The dragon's body was broken into two parts.
A earth-shattering roar, like the roar of a giant dragon before its death, erupted upward from the ground. The cave collapsed instantly and the ground sank. Steaming fireworks rushed out from every crack, and at this time, the wind blew from nowhere.
Fire borrows the wind!
At the same time, one of the fire pillars rose into the sky, emitting the most dazzling five-color light at the highest point.
With the fire pillar as the center, the fist-sized sparks gave rise to two, then three, until they covered the entire sky.
Countless flames fell from the sky.
Those who are lucky enough to see this scene will never forget it.
