Everything was quiet, it was the middle of the night.
There is a slave market in the corner of the capital of Shiwu Kingdom.
Specially set aside for the slave trading business. As the political center of the entire Shiwu, the royal capital has a huge demand for slaves. Slaves are also divided into different categories based on age, gender, age, body shape, appearance and other criteria.
For example, young and beautiful female slaves were bought to serve others, while young and strong men were bought to do hard labor.
Slaves were thrown into beast fights, pushed into the arena to fight to the death with beasts, and the rich and powerful placed bets for entertainment. In more serious cases, slaves were forced to use their bodies to serve the trained beasts, while the nobles sat on the high platform and enjoyed the heart-wrenching screams of the slaves below.
Slaves are the lowest class of beings in the Shiwu clan.
They are not considered human beings.
Beating and killing them certainly doesn't count as murder.
Killing a slave is as casual as breaking a bowl you don't like. Once it dies, you can just buy a replacement.
Therefore, the turnover of slaves here was extremely fast.
Apart from slaves, slave keepers and slave buyers, few outsiders usually come here. Firstly, this place is remote and desolate; secondly, the surrounding environment is filthy and smells terrible, and slaves' feces and urine can be seen in every corner.
Fortunately, it is still winter.
If it is the dog days of summer, when the weather is hot and the sun is blazing, the feces and urine will ferment and then drift into the air...
It can be smelled from three to five meters away and can make people vomit.
How could the high and mighty people condescend to visit us
Even the defense was the most lax.
Because slaves didn't dare to escape.
If they didn't run away, they could live longer. But if they were caught, their fate would be worse than death, and they would be tortured inhumanly before death. Once before, a slave owner ordered his men to skin a runaway slave from head to toe, and then poured mercury into the wound on the top of his head. The runaway slave was in unbearable pain and struggled hard to escape, but he actually skinned him alive!
The slaves watching the execution were terrified.
As soon as night fell, the slaves returned to their tents obediently, hugged their moldy and tattered thin quilts, and tried to curl up and fall asleep.
A small tent can accommodate thirty or forty people.
Fortunately, there were many people to keep warm and avoid freezing to death.
Rustling, rustling.
Any unusual sound was particularly clear in the silent night. The slave near the edge of the tent tightened his ragged clothes, turned over with difficulty, pushed away someone's stinky feet on his face, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
After a while.
Outside the tent, far away—
The extremely light footsteps passed by my ears like the wind, even louder than the sound of the night wind blowing through the weeds.
No one knew, but figures emerged from the ground.
"Pah, it stinks!"
The stench that hits you in the face is powerful.
"Did we dig a pit?"
The complaint was so light that it seemed as if it was held in the mouth.
No one can hear it except the owner of the sound.
People gradually crawled out from the hidden pits. They deliberately made their clothes and exposed skin dirty. In addition, most ordinary people suffer from night blindness, which allowed them to perfectly blend into the night and sneak in quietly.
A rough count revealed that there were more than 500 people.
The leader was naturally the skilled and courageous Xu Quan, and the indifferent Bai Su. Shen Tang originally did not plan to let Bai Su sneak into the city, not because he did not trust her ability, but because she had only practiced martial arts for a short time, and there were many dangers and variables in the city.
She planned to cultivate Bai Su well.
Wouldn't it be a pity if we failed here
Bai Su naturally refused to agree.
She said in a deep voice: "My lord, I appreciate your kindness, but throughout history, no general has ever achieved success without taking risks. Who among them didn't put his head on his belt? I am a humble general, how can I deserve your favoritism?"
Even if I have to be partial, it is because of her military achievements.
Now Bai Su thinks she is not qualified.
I beg my lord to let me fight!
Shen Tang opened his mouth.
After a while, he sighed and agreed.
She said: "That's fine, but the city is dangerous, be careful. I know you have been wandering around since you were a child, so I don't need to remind you again and again, but there is one thing you must remember - you are a rough diamond, with brilliance inside, so don't take it lightly!"
Bai Su is a precious, unpolished jade, and her importance to Shen Tang is much more important than she thinks!
Bai Su responded, suppressing the roar in her chest.
only!
This time the infiltration was led by Xu Quan, assisted by Bai Su.
Just wait for the order from outside the city and then take action.
Xu Quan pinched his shoulders and chuckled, "I can finally have a good time today. I've been digging holes for half a month, and my skills in guarding the house and eating are almost rusty." He didn't want his cousin to write to him next time and ask him if he had made any progress, and then he would answer that he had become skilled at digging holes.
If that were the case, his cousin would come and kill him.
Bai Su had a cold face. She silently twisted the neck of a slave guard who got up at night and hid the limp body.
“Don’t take it lightly!”
Xu Quan was not afraid of her either.
After spending time together, he found that Bai Su was a typical person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She was tough on the outside but considerate on the inside. She was younger than him but behaved in an extremely mature way. Xu Quan smiled and narrowed his eyes: "It's inevitable to be excited because of the military achievements in front of me."
Bai Su pursed her lips.
actually-
She was also very excited.
Previously, she had attacked those tribes and had won a lot of military merits, but she always felt that something was missing. This time, she came to the capital of Shiwu, and under her feet was the center of Shiwu’s political power, but she was able to lead her men to sneak in quietly and march in the enemy’s base camp.
The experience is completely different.
Xu Quan wanted to make a joke to ease the tension, but suddenly he felt something, his expression suddenly became serious, and he raised his hand.
He said in a deep voice: "It's coming!"
Bai Su and others were on edge.
Their location was carefully calculated, the least affected by the earth dragon turning over, the terrain was wide and there were no guards patrolling. Once the chaos started, they could set fire and kill along the way, using the intentional to beat the unintentional, the fast to beat the slow, and expand the victory!
Almost at the moment when Xu Quan's voice fell, several different black and white auras quickly filled every part of the cave deep in the ground beneath their feet, one of which was particularly strong. In the darkness, it seemed that a ferocious beast opened its bloodthirsty eyes.
Outside the royal city.
Jiang Sheng looked at the city wall on the horizon with a cold gaze, and said with his thin lips slightly parted, "Spread out in a crisscross pattern!"
If you could see the distribution of the underground spirits, you would find that they were crisscrossed in an orderly manner, and several strands of spirits tacitly turned into a chessboard. On the chessboard, strange phenomena occurred frequently, wind, fire, thunder and lightning swept wildly, and finally condensed into a giant dragon lying in a coil.
"cut!"
A word fell.
The dragon's body broke into two pieces.
A deafening roar, like the roar of a giant dragon before its death, burst out from underground, the cave collapsed in an instant, and the ground sank. Steaming flames rushed out from every crack, and at this time, a wind blew from nowhere.
Fire takes advantage of the wind!
At the same time, one of the pillars of fire shot up into the sky, emitting the most dazzling five-colored light at the highest point.
Sparks as big as fists centered on the pillar of fire, one gave rise to two, two gave rise to three, until they covered the entire sky.
Countless flames fell from the sky.
Anyone who is lucky enough to witness this scene will never forget it.
