Wen Qingzhu half-closed his eyes, a hand behind his back ready to act at any time.
Feitian standing next to him was also ready to escape immediately.
Just as Balu's hand was about to reach Wen Qingzhu's face, a familiar stopping sound suddenly came from behind.
"What are you doing?"
Balu took it back almost subconsciously and turned around quickly.
Somewhat nervous but also dissatisfied: "Do I have to report to you whatever I need to do?!"
Wen Qingzhu raised his head and saw that the person coming was Denton.
He rode over slowly on horseback, although he only saw the top of his head, not who was in the basket.
But in the Huns, people were put in baskets, which were goods.
The only people who can be used as goods are slaves, and only female slaves with relatively weak strength will be put in.
Denton disliked everything to do with slaves.
He stopped in front of Balu and moved his gaze from the basket to Balu: "Now is the time to track the enemy, and you are still here looking at women! Have you forgotten what the fourth prince ordered?"
These words sounded like words of comfort, but in Balu's view, it was Denton who was clearly reprimanding him.
Balu had accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction before. He had been busy from the night before to now, and he didn't even take a break without talking about it. Now he was scolding him.
He couldn't stand it anymore, so he raised his head and retorted: "Yes, yes! You are the fourth prince's confidant, and he is the first-class warrior appointed by him, and I am only a second-class warrior, just an outsider. No matter what I do, it is wrong." Yeah, I have to tell you everything I do!"
"That was not what I meant!"
Denton looked around and saw that there were people from other princes. He couldn't say much, so he could only try to comfort him, "Now is a special time. When we go back to Korza, if you don't have any woman you want, why bother in heaven?" Eagle City buys women!”
Hearing that Denton was still insisting on this question, Balu became more and more angry as he thought about it. He could no longer control himself. He pointed at the basket behind him and said: "You said she is a woman! A human? Is she a human? She is just a slave. ! They are not local slaves of the Xiongnu! They are slaves of the Qi people! Their status is low! What is the difference between them and animals! You don’t care if I buy an animal! Then you have to control whether I pee or sleep in the future!"
Denton didn't want to make things worse, so he dismounted with one hand. Seeing this, Balu quickly took two steps back and raised his hand to refuse: "No! Don't come here, Lord Denton! You are the one who has made contributions to the fourth prince. I won’t dare to get close to you because I was injured on the merits! Please, Lord Denton, please stay away from me, the villain!”
"Balu! Don't you know what kind of person I am? You have only been here for less than a day. Did you instigate someone? As long as you are working for the fourth prince, there is no distinction between high and low!"
Denton glanced at the few people accompanying Balu. There were four people he had never seen before. They seemed to be the people from the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince.
He knew very well that Balu had a simple mind and could easily be instigated, but now the fourth prince had ordered Balu to be protected.
The second prince's people are okay, but the people on the sixth prince's side are all here to do evil, and they are almost impossible to guard against.
Balu turned around fiercely, forgetting Wen Qingzhu's existence, went back and mounted his horse, called his men, turned around and left.
Denton looked solemn, looking at Balu's back, his heart became heavier and heavier.
The person who came to Tianying City this time was that adult. It seemed that he might have to make a decision this time.
With something on his mind, Denton didn't look at Luokang at all. Instead, he said to Feitian: "Take your people and leave quickly. This side of Tianying City is not a good place."
"Thank you, sir." Feitian thanked him quickly.
He had never met Denton, but what Denton said just now shocked him a little.
Feitian had been around the Xiongnu for several years, and a person like Denton who could say that there was no distinction between high and low was simply outstanding.
Denton turned around and left. He really wanted to see the slave in the basket.
See if I can help, but Balu just said that this slave is from Qi.
This is Tianying City again, the area under the jurisdiction of the second prince. Now the second prince has spent a lot of money to buy a large number of Qi people's slaves. If he rescues people, he will slap the second prince in the face and cause trouble for the fourth prince.
So Denton didn't even look at it, resisted the impulse in his heart, turned around and left.
Wen Qingzhu, who had been sitting in the basket, had an idea when he waited here.
Since Denton has different ideas, maybe she can be the breakthrough on his side.
Wen Qingzhu immediately raised his head and shouted timidly: "Sir, can you please buy me?"
When Denton heard this voice, he felt like an oriole in March and a clear spring in June. There was endless sadness and pity in the softness, which made his heart tremble.
For some reason, he couldn't help but turn around.
The sight of the woman's appearance was even more astonishing.
Even though the woman was in a wretched figure and her face was covered in dirt, her stunning beauty could not be concealed.
At least in all of Denton's memories, he has never seen such a shockingly beautiful woman.
Wen Qingzhu was very aware of the impact of his appearance on ordinary Xiongnu people, and his expression became more and more pitiful. He was holding the edge of the basket with both hands, wanting to stand up but not daring, which made people feel more and more distressed.
Feitian next to the car looked at it, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood Wen Qingzhu's plan.
He turned around in an instant, stretched out his hand and roughly pressed Wen Qingzhu's head down, turned around and quickly smiled at Denton and said, "Sir, I'm so sorry! I didn't discipline her well."
"No, it's not." Denton turned back, his eyes still resting on the top of the head in the basket, "Where did you buy her from?"
Feitian looked surprised: "Have you fallen in love with her, sir? It's not expensive, just five... no, no, no, just ten gold!"
Denton frowned in disgust and said in a deep voice, "I'm not asking her price, I'm asking you, who brought her here!"
Feitian then put away his greedy eyes and said cautiously: "It was sold to me by someone over at Yonghe Pass. It cost me an ingot of gold."
"Sir...Sir, help me..." Wen Qingzhu's voice came out from the basket again, still crying.
Denton is not someone who would feel distressed because of his beauty, but he actually felt a little uncomfortable without knowing it!
This made him very wary. The last woman with such charm made the late king completely decadent and obedient.
So much so that it indirectly led to the death of the eldest prince.
Denton turned around and asked Feitian again: "Who are you going to sell her to?"
"Master Zuolan, hasn't he been recruiting people at high prices recently?" The greed in Feitian's eyes showed again, and he asked cautiously, "My lord, are you tempted? I don't want more, just fifteen ingots of gold." .”
Seeing him repeatedly raising the price, Denton became completely angry. He took out the sword from his waist with his left hand and slapped it across Feitian's neck.
Feitian knelt down appropriately and quickly begged for mercy: "Sir, please have mercy on me. I'm just a businessman. There are seniors and juniors. I spent a lot of money to buy her. Please don't rob her directly." Let’s go!”
Seeing that Denton's expression was slightly relaxed, he rolled his eyes and became even more pitiful: "She is now our family's money for the winter. Without her, our whole family will probably starve to death. The adults must at least give me money to live on, right?”
Denton took out a token from his pocket, threw it to Feitian and said, "Take this person and go to Tianying City to find me tomorrow, and I will give you the money in full!"
He turned to look at the basket and said with deep eyes: "This person... I will take him away."
"Sir! Can you really get money with this token?!" Feitian was completely taken by the drama and directly questioned Denton.
Denton looked at him displeased: "Don't worry, I belong to the Fourth Prince. If you have any dissatisfaction, just go to the Fourth Prince. You have always heard of his reputation."
Feitian hesitated for a moment, but nodded.
Wen Qingzhu in the basket was a little strange. Is the reputation of the tower so good
Before she could figure it out, a large cloak fell on Wen Qingzhu's head.
I heard Denton outside say: "Put on your cloak and follow me!"
Wen Qingzhu sat still. After all, she was someone who couldn't understand the Xiongnu language.
Denton, who was outside, turned around and found that there was no movement behind him, so he immediately turned back.
Feitian quickly explained: "Sir, she doesn't understand Xiongnu. I can also speak Chinese. If you have any instructions, I may have to do it myself."
Denton frowned slightly, and he immediately said in Chinese: "I bought you, put on your cloak, and I will take you away."
Wen Qingzhu stretched out his head and looked at him with bright eyes: "Your Excellency can speak the Chinese dialect! Then I will be your servant from now on!"
Her smiling face burst in unexpectedly, and Denton's breath froze.
Soon he suppressed the throbbing in his heart and became increasingly wary of Wen Qingzhu.
"Put on your cloak and cover your face!" Denton's voice turned cold.
Wen Qingzhu cooperated with a frightened expression and quickly followed his instructions.
After getting out of the car, Wen Qingzhu deliberately limped in order to gain sympathy.
After walking for a long time, I finally reached Denton.
There was only one horse in front of them, and Denton subconsciously looked at Feitian's cart.
Feitian quickly stopped packing and said with a full smile: "Sir, this cart is very strong, as long as it is a knife and coin!"
Denton twitched the corners of his mouth. He knew that people in Skyhawk City had dark hearts, but he didn't expect them to be so dark.
Ten sword coins can be exchanged for an ingot of gold!
So Denton said to Wen Qingzhu without hesitation: "Get on the horse yourself, and I will lead you."
Wen Qingzhu said with a frightened face: "No, no, I'll just follow you."
Denton looked down at her feet: "Are you sure you can walk?"
Wen Qingzhu whispered guiltily: "It's okay to walk slowly."
Denton said nothing, but reached out to pull her arm, but the tentacles were cold and the arms were so small that Denton was a little suspicious.
He looked back at Wen Qingzhu's figure, suddenly thought of someone, and was relieved.
The bodies of Qi women are smaller than those of Xiongnu women, but this woman is even smaller.
After being pulled to the stirrups, Denton even directed Feitian to bring the bench from his car.
Wen Qingzhu originally took the opportunity to use a beauty trap, but unfortunately, Denton did not accept this trick at all, and all the escape routes were planned for her.
After getting on the horse, Denton led the horse away without hesitation.
He hates businessmen, very much.
Wen Qingzhu was wearing a cloak and a hat covering half of her face. It was dark again, so even if someone noticed her, they couldn't see clearly.
Denton's identity seemed to work well and the journey was smooth.
When they first arrived in the city, they met an acquaintance.
"Sir Denton, you should recover from your injuries. Why are you still out so late at night? Just tell us if you have anything to do."
Zhi Zhu stepped forward and took a first look at Wen Qingzhu on horseback.
I am still wondering in my heart, who is so capable that he can let Denton lead the horse? Is it the gentleman who is going to marry Denton
Although he felt strange in his heart, it didn't show on his face.
And when he looked at Wen Qingzhu, it was as if he glanced at him casually and didn't take it to heart at all.
Denton didn't know about Corpse Chaser's tricks, but Wen Qingzhu, who was sitting on top, had a clear view.
As expected, he is an old man, and his eyes are as good as anyone's.
Denton replied politely and distantly: "It's just a small injury. Thank you for your concern, Master Shizhu."
