In Chaoqiu City, on the largest street in Chaoqiu City, Qu Ce and several other Mang tribesmen walked while observing the humanities here. They were wearing high-quality silk clothes produced by the Eight Tribes, all made by their own tribe. The three Huang-shaped bi, plus the people of the Mang tribe, who like to stand on the shelf, can always show a superior attitude inadvertently. Looking at it this way, it is quite bluffing. People who don’t know think they are the six nobles. Yes.
The two Changzhou tribes who led the way, although they did not wear jade, they all wore a kind of ochre red stone decoration. This is a stone material only found in the sea. It is a relatively precious gemstone, and the color looks happy. Some slave owners have bought some from Changzhou at a high price.
Some people who have entered the city have also learned from various places, such as Fanning, Puye, Zha, and others. They are learning how to be better qualified profiteers.
In a shop selling gold utensils, Quli, the leader of the Shuihu tribe, and Shidu, the leader of the Yong tribe, were in the store. They originally planned to buy some gold utensils. They had heard that there were many gold utensils here, and they were cheap and exquisite. After entering the city, they asked the people from Changzhou to bring them here. Unfortunately, after entering the store, I glanced at it and was disappointed.
The first thing to look at is the weapon. However, after Yanjiao was used to seeing the weapons they made, they didn’t like the weapons in the shop. They were able to distinguish the pros and cons of gold tools, and they knew some of them. The goldware looks good, but it is actually tofu dregs.
They already had the new bronze wares they got from Yanjiao, so they gave up their plans to buy weapons, and then looked at other gold wares, such as wine jugs, cups, tripods, and so on.
"Look, this line, this pattern, this beast shape..." The store owner was holding a beast-patterned gold bowl and was about to brag to a few people in Qu Li when he suddenly stopped.
In front of him, Ou Li took out a slap-sized tiger-patterned gold medal. This is a piece of gold that Ou Li asked the Yanjiao people to help and asked the workers from the Gongjia family to make a piece of gold. One side was the tiger pattern of the Shuihu tribe, and the other side was a gold medal. The word "Water Tiger" is engraved, and there is a circle around the gold medal that looks like a tiger pattern and a ripple pattern.
The people in the store stared at the gold medal in Ou Li's hand. With their eyesight, they could naturally see that it was definitely a work of artisan level! In their small shop, except for a few treasures of the town shop, the workmanship is far inferior to the piece in the other's hand.
The work of the craftsmen is not easy to get hands on.
When it comes to the casting process, the craftsmen say the second, and no one dares to call the first. This is the gap in skills. However, most of the things made by the people of the craftsman family and the craftsman level have entered the hands of the nobles, and there is very little outflow.
The store owner wanted to raise the price, but when he saw what the other party had in his hand, the thought that had just arisen was suppressed again. It's simply not at the same level!
Take the high-quality goods, and now someone is tricking you to buy a defective product, can you take the bait? People who become leaders don't have this IQ.
It turned out that the other party was not ignorant, but had a high vision. Now the store is honest.
Some people are easy to deceive, and some people are not easy to fool. Now they have understood that these people in front of them belong to the latter, and the other party can easily pull out a piece of craftsman-level work. Who made it
Whether it's Abuli's side or Quli's side, similar things happen in many places in Chaoqiu City. However, they didn't plan to stay here for a long time and left after buying things.
There are three hundred people who buy things for more than 4,000 people, and they have to take them in batches. They don’t hire a car. The soldiers of Yanjiao carry the things by themselves like a hill, and they can finish it in a few trips.
The long-distance team that came and went has been staring at these strangers who have just entered the city, and these people have a sense of danger that makes them unfamiliar. As a result, there are very few local people who come forward to inquire. They are suddenly frightened, and they are too cautious. They dare not speak rashly.
They are wary of unfamiliar and dangerous people.
Under the tense alert of Chaoqiucheng, the three hundred people who entered the city really just strolled around the street, and then they carried the goods out of the city. The guards of the city gates, by convention, will selectively check the goods of some teams out of the city to prevent smuggling of things, and the city guards also use this as one of the ways to make extra money. They all dared to be angry and dare not speak out, but today, no matter whether these 300 people come in or go out, the city gate guards do not dare to say a word. What they are best at is watching people place dishes and can see the situation clearly. Say a word, didn't you see the city lord standing on the tower
Before Shao Xuan left, Chao Wen stopped him and threw down a cloth roll the size of his little finger, "The king gave it to you."
Shao Xuan was surprised, but then he realized that he could predict their location so accurately. He wrote a letter in advance to let Fei Niao transmit it, and then let Chao Wen forward it. There should be the Yi family in it.
When the last Yanjiao man walked out of the city with a small mountain of goods, the entire Chaoqiu City seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Did not fight! Chao Wen took a few breaths without a trace.
Chaoqiu City was the furthest away from the King City. They were also one of the six major tribes of the year. The Chaoqiu tribe was the family of the Chaoqiu tribe. They didn't care much about other things. Qiucheng, guarding his own territory, from time to time exploits things from those teams to enrich his warehouse, and they have also heard some things about the Yanjiao tribe.
The tribal people have a lot of salt mines and fire crystals, and their brains are not flexible. They are purely a group of barbarians who don't understand farts. However…
"Those people are completely different from the rumors." Asakawa looked at the team that was leaving, and felt that he was being scolded by some people who passed the news. He didn't know the people who didn't enter the city, but none of those who entered the city were easy to deal with, and several of them gave him a very dangerous feeling.
What is the appearance of the sea, except for going there in person, seeing it, and listening to it, otherwise, the news learned from others may not be true, and it may even be fatally one-sided. For Asakawa, it was a mistake that should not have been made.
Maybe it's time to take a time out to sea to have a look. Of course, the premise is that Wang Cheng really reached an agreement with the other party. Otherwise, in the event of a war, he would still stay in Chaoqiu City. Asakawa thought.
Shao Xuan didn't pay attention to how the people in Chaoqiucheng were talking about them. Based on his memory, he determined the location of Wangcheng and led the team towards that direction. The people in the team would rather rest in the wilderness than in the city of the slave owners. Compared with Chaoqiu City, it is safer in the wild. Although they must always be on guard against those who want to rob, at night, they will Solved three groups of people. Exposing wealth in Chaoqiu City still attracted many people to take risks, and the people of Yanjiao would never show mercy to these robbers.
The next day, after dealing with another group of people, the team encountered a special group of people.
"Slave owner?" Timber looked at the person walking in front of him.
Nearly 500 people came forward, of which more than 300 were slaves. They were bound with chains and specially made ropes and guarded by the slave owners. Without the people Shao Xuan and the others were looking for, most of these slaves should be natives.
The slave owners mentioned by Timber do not refer to noble slave owners, but a type of organization that sells slaves for a living.
Judging from the direction they were walking, they should have taken their slaves to sell in Chaoqiucheng. Shao Xuan and the others saw that the slave market was relatively empty when they were in Chaoqiucheng. Now it seems that the sellers of slaves have not arrived yet.
"That's... 畀?!" Timber saw that there was a very obvious pattern on the cart pulled by the first ten slaves, which was the symbol of "畀".
"Fan?!"
As soon as they heard it, the tribes that lost their population looked at them wrongly, and they wished they could rush over and slaughter all the slave owners. However, Wang Chenglai's letter has already said that about the arrival of Yanjiao, the cities and towns have already notified them in place and will not take the initiative to attack them, and one of the important points mentioned is that Shao Xuan and the others encountered "Fan" in the middle. As long as they are not from the Yanhe Alliance, I hope that Shao Xuan and the others will not take action, otherwise, it may affect the safety of the abducted people.
The people in "Fan" are not good-natured.
The slave owners who drove the slaves were also very curious about Shao Xuan and his team, and at the same time they were on guard. They didn't know the purpose of Shao Xuan and his party. The three flags, they also only knew the Yanjiao and Changzhou tribes. It was also mentioned in their private discussion about which tribe's slaves were valuable. Yanjiao people are powerful, and powerful slaves sell well. As for Changzhou people, they have excellent shipbuilding skills, and they can sell for high prices when they are skilled workers.
It's just that the situation in front of them told them that no matter how much they wanted to turn these tribesmen into slaves, they couldn't show it on the face, otherwise they wouldn't want to leave intact today.
It is not unreasonable for "Fan" to become the largest slave trade organization in this continent. The members under it know how to judge the situation very well, and they should be counseled when they should.
Facing those hateful eyes, the slave owner sitting in the lead car had a calm face, and routinely asked, "Do you want slaves? New slaves."
"Yes." Shao Xuan said.
Hearing Shao Xuan's answer, not only the leading slave owner, but also the people on his side were surprised. Shao Xuan actually wanted to buy slaves? !
The leader of the other party was also an old hand and reacted very quickly. After hearing Shao Xuan's words at first, he was stunned and quickly recovered.
Shao Xuan walked over and pointed to a thin figure among the slaves, "He."
The leading slave owner raised his eyebrows, and took a serious look at the slave that Shao Xuan selected from him, "Are you sure?"
"Okay." He said and walked over.
"Why?" the leading slave owner asked.
"It doesn't look good to him." Shao Xuan said.
The slave whom Shao Xuan pointed at suddenly raised his head, with an old face that was half-dead and unlovable like other slaves, but he was scolding in his heart: Can you recognize this? !
