The woman was stunned and sat motionless.
"I'm hungry, go out and find me something to eat." Wu Dongfang waved to the other party.
The woman heard clearly this time, left the bed and walked to Wu Dongfang, "What do you want to eat?"
"The best." Wu Dongfang said. Yunping had just said that there was exquisite food here, and he was curious about what the exquisite food was.
"Boiled meat is the best." the woman asked.
"That's it, go ahead." Wu Dongfang urged with a wave of his hand.
The woman walked towards the door, turning back frequently as she walked. She had accompanied many guests, but this was the first time she encountered such a beauty and she was only thinking about food.
In less than five minutes, the woman came back, bringing with her several men who looked like waiters. The man in front was carrying a strange-looking bronze vessel, a bit like a small round tripod, and the man behind was carrying various sizes of bronze vessels. wooden barrel.
The stone slabs were laid, the copperware was placed, water was added, and charcoal was added. When Wu Dongfang saw the charcoal added, Wu Dongfang understood that this was a hot pot, and hot pot existed in the Xia Dynasty.
The meat is freshly sliced, one person is eating, and many people are waiting for him. Wu Dongfang doesn't like to be waited on, so he kicks the waiters away and eats by himself. Except that it is slow, it is similar to modern hot pot. Unfortunately, there is no chili pepper at this time. ,a fly in the ointment.
"Come here, come here." Wu Dongfang waved to the young woman standing at the door.
This woman had gone out just now and was very cold. Her lips were still black. When Wu Dongfang called her, she came over with a frown on her face. She didn't know how Wu Dongfang was going to instruct her.
"Do you have any wine?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Yes, yes, yes." The woman agreed repeatedly, turned around and walked to the wooden frame on the west wall, "What kind of wine do you want to drink?"
"The best." Wu Dongfang said.
When the woman heard this, she stood up on tiptoes and took out a porcelain bottle from the upper left grid of the wooden frame. The porcelain bottle was larger than a modern wine bottle, similar to a flower vase, and had a lid on it.
Wu Dongfang threw away the tea and motioned for the woman to pour wine.
The woman poured it for him. Wu Dongfang took a look at the wine glass that was originally a tea cup and found that the wine was very clear. Rich and powerful people were different. The dregs of the wine were filtered very cleanly. I took a sip and found that the alcohol content was not high and quite refreshing.
"What's your name?" Wu Dongfang asked the woman standing next to him holding a wine bottle. The woman's posture when holding the wine bottle was very professional. One look showed that she had often done similar work before.
"Scoop away," the woman replied.
"You can sit down and eat too." Wu Dongfang pointed to the seat opposite.
Li Li shook his head and stood still.
"Sit down and eat!" Wu Dongfang raised his voice.
Li Li sat down sideways, Wu Dongfang handed over a pair of chopsticks and motioned for her to do it herself.
Dressing well does not mean eating well. Pianli liked mutton very much. Wu Dongfang deliberately did not look at her and let her eat as she pleased.
When Pianli let go completely, Wu Dongfang began to pour wine for her. Pianli grabbed the bottle and poured it for Wu Dongfang first.
Mobilizing emotions is a basic quality that an army commander must possess. Soon he established a good relationship with Pianli. He learned from Pianli that this was an official inn, where officials from all over the country came to the capital for temporary rest and accommodation. There are a dozen women like her here, all slaves. Their job is to accompany officials who come from other places.
Wu Dongfang once heard Mingyue say that there were slaves in the Xia Dynasty, but he didn't know where the slaves came from. After asking Laoli, he learned that the slaves mainly came from previous tribal wars. The defeated party was either killed or captured. Serving as slaves, the descendants of slaves are also slaves when they are born. This group of people is the main body of slaves. In addition to them, people who commit crimes will also be punished as slaves, and civilians who offend powerful people and wizards will also be punished as slaves. In short, it is a If you are not careful, you will become a slave.
When asked about the number of slaves, Pianli replied that there were many, but she couldn't tell how many there were.
Princes, nobles and wizards at all levels own a varying number of slaves. The slaves are engaged in the hardest work, with no freedom, no holidays, and no wages. They do not desire these. As long as they can live, they are satisfied, because they The masters can decide their life and death at will. Killing slaves is as common as killing chickens and dogs, and they don't know when their heads will fall to the ground.
When asked why they didn't resist, Laoli's answer made him dumbfounded. Compared with the slaves who were killed, they were very lucky to be alive.
After thinking about it carefully, Wu Dongfang also understood their mentality. People have an insatiable side, and they always try to make more and more, never being satisfied. But people also have a contented side. When they are used to being oppressed, they will be grateful if they occasionally get something trivial.
After eating and drinking, Wu Dongfang opened the door and walked out. At this time, it was still snowing outside. When he walked out of the room, he realized that this place was laid out in a zigzag shape, with houses on all sides. As soon as he went out, the doors of the east and west wing were immediately occupied. Pulling it open, two Tu Celestial Masters in purple robes stared at him warily.
Wu Dongfang untied his belt and peed next to the door, then returned to the room with his head raised under the glare of the two heavenly masters.
"Find someone to take care of it. Let's have something else for lunch." Wu Dongfang said to Ladle.
Li Li agreed, wrapped up his clothes tightly and walked out.
Wu Dongfang returned to the bed and lay down. Yunping once said that the environment of the place he was going to in three days was not very good, and the food was scarce, but there were women. A place that met these three points was probably inhabited by a group of slaves. area, if this is the case, the Jin tribe may never be able to find him, because no one would have thought that the Tu tribe would put such an important person like him among slaves.
Not long after, someone came to clean up the mess, and Wu Dongfang shouted to them, "Let's have barbecue for lunch."
Someone agreed, and when everyone left, Laoli climbed up and began to undress and take off his belt.
"Lie down and don't move." Wu Dongfang pushed her down and pulled the quilt to cover her.
After waiting for a while, he saw that Wu Dongfang didn't move, so he stretched out his hand to pull him.
"I'll beat you up again." Wu Dongfang said with a straight face.
Lai Li didn't dare to move.
Wu Dongfang folded his arms and thought about what to do next. He couldn't place all his hopes on the Jin clan. He had to find a way to escape on his own. The Tu clan was watching him closely at the moment. He definitely couldn't escape at this time, and he had to escape. Wait for a while.
Having barbecue for lunch, Wu Dongfang first asked Lai Li to eat before sending her away, and then put the roasted beef in the wine jar. He might be hungry the day after tomorrow, so he had to prepare some dry food.
That night, Pianli came again. To him, Pianli was just an errand boy. He asked Pianli to tell the manager here that he wanted thick clothes to keep out the cold. Although Yunping didn't come, he was interested in what was going on here. Knowing everything, she naturally would not refuse his request. Early the next morning, Pianli brought over a piece of thick clothes.
There are three barbecues a day. At this time, the clothes are mainly made of linen, which is a bit stiff, but it is just right. It will not make people suspicious after stuffing it with beef. After stuffing more than ten kilograms of beef inside, Wu Dongfang opened the door and sat at the door. He wanted to use the cold wind to blow away the smell of beef and ensure that no one would find the beef.
On the last day, Wu Dongfang kept sleeping, and at night, Laoli came again.
"What's wrong?" Wu Dongfang asked doubtfully, Laoli's face was pale, he was trembling, and he could hardly stand still.
Li Li looked straight at Wu Dongfang. After a few seconds, he fell to his knees and kowtowed to Wu Dongfang, "Please help me, help me."
Wu Dongfang walked over quickly and helped Panli up, "What happened?"
"If you don't touch me tonight, the Heavenly Master will kill me." Panli was shaking violently.
"Do you know who I am?" Wu Dongfang helped Baoli to his seat.
Lai Li was in shock and shook his head blankly.
"I am their prisoner. I was caught here by them. I can't save you." Wu Dongfang shook his head and said.
"As long as you let me serve you, I can live." Qianli's eyes were full of humble begging.
Wu Dongfang didn't speak. He didn't expect that Yun Ping and others would do this to him. What he was thinking about at this time was why the other party did this, and what difference would it make if he touched this female slave or not. as a result of.
Seeing that he was silent, Qianli knelt down again, crying and begging, with tears streaming down his face.
Wu Dongfang didn't move. The other party was a respected heavenly master, not a rogue. Their actions were definitely not just teasing, there must be a deeper reason behind them.
"Have you ever served a wizard?" Wu Dongfang asked.
Chanli was stunned for a moment, then shook his head after he stopped crying.
Wu Dongfang understood that wizards were clergy at this time, so they would naturally not touch a woman like Lai Li, at least not openly, because they had to take their own reputation into consideration, and the other party's actions tonight were to ruin his reputation. As long as he touches Lai Li, he will always bear the stain of moral misconduct.
Discovering the other party's sinister intentions, Wu Dongfang slowly shook his head, sparing her from the pity and helplessness. He wanted to save her, but he couldn't. He couldn't cross the threshold in his heart. There is no right or wrong when we are in love with each other, but we are ruthless. Don't get involved, otherwise you will be no different from an animal. In addition, he had to think about the Jin clan. He was the White Tiger Heavenly Master of the Jin clan. If anything happened to him, the Jin clan would be humiliated together.
"Stop crying, I'll help you." Wu Dongfang helped Ladle.
Lai Li was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
"Bring the wine and have a drink with me." Wu Dongfang sat on the chair next to the table.
Scooping out Huanxi, he went over and came back with a jar of wine, filled it for Wu Dongfang, and poured it for himself.
Wu Dongfang drank it all in one gulp, then scooped up the drink and drank it up.
Pour again, drink again, pour again, drink again.
It didn't take long for the jar of wine to be mostly empty. Wu Dongfang stood up, walked over and hugged Lao Li.
"Why are your eyes red?" Li Li tilted his head and looked at Wu Dongfang.
"Do you want to leave here?" Wu Dongfang asked softly.
"I want to, but they won't let me go." Li Li shook his head.
"I'll send you away." Wu Dongfang closed his eyes and twisted his arms to break Laoli's neck...
