At noon, Mo Yu and his entourage found an open space on the roadside for dinner and rest. Although these strong men could persevere for longer, their horses could not keep running.
Gao Wen and Gallo went hunting consciously, and the saints and masters naturally brought back a lot of game soon. After a while, a wild boar and two pheasants were thrown in front of Mo Yu. Bella was responsible for using magic to make fire. Mo Yu would strip the prey they brought back and dig out the offal to make a barbecue or soup.
When that big pot of soup was about to be ready, a team with a large number of people suddenly came from a fork in the back.
More than fifty slaves were tied in a string with hands tied by a rope. Under the drove of seven or eight guards, they walked past them. The lead man was wearing good metal armor and was riding in front. He glanced at Mo Yu and several people, and walked over without saying much. Mo Yu's equipment and outfits looked unusual, and he obviously didn't mean to provoke them.
Most of these slaves are very strong, and you can see that they are young people who have been selected. However, the guards have no pity for them. Anyone who walks slowly will whip up mercilessly.
Perhaps it was the guards who were hungry too. The leader took a look at the surrounding environment and ordered the guards to camp here.
The slaves were driven to one place and sat on the ground. The guards chose a few more obedient men to fetch water, and waited for the water to be hit. Then he took out dry food from the bags carried by several slaves and threw them on the ground to rob the slaves.
A few people in Moyu are watching these people while preparing to eat.
"This team is very strange," Gallo said.
"How to say?" Gao Wen asked.
Gallo whispered to them: "These guards are not ordinary caravan guards. They are all members of the imperial squad. These slaves also look very unusual. Know that the slaves sold by the general army are not like this. .
They all grab people from the whole village. They must be men, women and children. They will not be as strong as they are today. Generally, slaves of this quality will be treated well by the slave owners, lest they get ill or injured, and cannot sell for a good price, but these people seem to be completely indifferent to the status of the slaves, but are in a hurry. In case of delivery, the injured slave will lose a lot of money.
And the strangest thing is that they are heading towards the kingdom. The army of the empire grabbed the slaves and sold them to the kingdom. It was like stealing something to sell to the master. "
Bella said: "But these are not all kingdom people, it seems that there are people everywhere. Many of them are like beasts."
Gallo said: "So it's strange."
Mo Yu kept on cooking the soup carefully, and she didn't look up until Gallo said here: "What's a good guess, grab the leader and ask if you don't know."
None of the people here had any interest in slave merchants, and the robbery of slave caravans has been done more than once. When Mo Yu said this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Gallo smiled: "It's still the boss who is the most cheerful, so I should solve the problem neatly. Maybe we can earn some road expenses for us."
He stabbed Gao Wen with his elbow and said, "It's time for thugs.
Gao Wen said angrily: "This man is a mid-level knight at most, why should I shoot?"
Gallo said: "Because you have been doing this kind of work, professional. I'm just a little thief, why can't I take turns to do something to catch people?"
Bella shouted: "I am a pastor ..."
Moyu doesn't need to think about it, everyone is waiting to eat her cooking.
auzw.com Gao Wen had to stand up from the ground and squeeze his nose to do this. He now regrets that he did n’t bring a few juniors out. None of the three people in front of him just moved of.
Gao Wen's current line is just a commoner with a sword. It doesn't look like a fierce man. The soldiers were not too vigilant when they saw him coming. The slaves were more indifferent to him, but the leader. The man frowned slightly and glanced at him: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Gao Wen sighed: "Come on, come with me, the people over there have something to ask you."
The man said, "Why?"
"That's it." Gao Wen snapped his fingers, and there was a sound of ping-pong and ping-pong around. The guards brought by the men fell to the ground one after another, and one fainted.
The man hurriedly got up from the ground, but he dared not pull out his saber on the waist, but asked tremblingly, "This lord, I will follow you and I will answer any questions. Please don't ...
"Let's go, answer the questions, and you will be let go."
Gao Wen led the man to several people and sat beside Mo Yu. The man moved around a few people, wondering whether he should stand or sit down.
Gallo waved to him: "Answer the questions well, we don't have to embarrass you as an intermediate."
"Yes, what answer do I have?"
"Tell me, what's the matter with these slaves? Why would you, as the emperor's squad, sell slaves to people in the kingdom."
"This ..." The man obviously hesitated.
"Huh?" Gao Wen snorted.
The man swallowed and said, "The queen of the kingdom is acquiring slaves, so ... someone wants to sell the slaves over there."
"Who is someone?" Gallo asked forcefully, "Look at you, at least a detachment leader?"
"This ... this is a secret transaction between the nobles and the queen of the kingdom. I'm just one of them." The man said.
"Did you mean there were many people transporting slaves across the kingdom?" Gallo asked again.
"Yeah, the Kingdom is also very particular about it. They only need to be strong and only trade at night. My team is ready to hand them over tonight."
"Is it the front level?"
"No, it's in a small village next to the level." The man said.
Gallo now felt strange in this matter. Not only him, but Gao Wen also became more serious, they all smelled an unusual breath. Gallo asked again: "But you slaves, the original quality is very good, why should you treat them like this, you are not afraid to hurt them, can't you sell the price? Slaves with bad looks are generally not recycled Right? "
The man said: "This is the account of the adults. The delivery time on the Kingdom side is extremely tight. If I can't get there tonight, the business will be yellow. Anyway, the Kingdom side will pay according to the number of people. , Ten gold axe alone, even if they ca n’t use them, they will pay the same amount, but they ca n’t use the old and weak to top up, they must be alive.
