The Great Enlightenment

Chapter 578 Guess
Princess Lanyu's tone became slightly colder: "It's clearly what you said just now, since the source body is here, it's easy for me to get out of trouble, why are you blaming me now?"

Ji Yue said in a young voice: "What I said 'the source body is here' means that we are not really like ordinary creatures, but it is not for you to use sharp weapons to verify this right now. After traveling to the prefecture city of Zezhou, we will make further plans."

Princess Lanyu snorted coldly, and said: "Then let me ask you, the Yao Realm is clearly a place for cultivation, why did I fall into the illusion?"

"Then why are you so sure that this place must be an illusion?"

Ji Yuenian shook his head, "According to my speculation, this place is very likely to be a real world, in which the time and space are distorted to the extreme. As for where the mystery of Yao Realm is, when I leave this world, See for yourself."

After saying this, he leaned against the door frame of the carriage again, closed his eyes lightly, and fell into silence.

Princess Lanyu in the other carriage also gradually became quiet.

……

Boom!

After an unknown amount of time, the bumpy carriage finally stopped at the side of the road, and there was a bustling noise from outside the carriage, which was extremely noisy.

"Get down!"

The curtain of the carriage was lifted by a tall and strong slave. He glared viciously at the people in the carriage who were tied up with hemp rope, and said in an impatient tone, "If you don't want to be whipped, climb down for me!"

Ji Yuenian was tied to the edge of the door frame, and the hemp rope above his ankles was untied by the tall slave, and he got out of the carriage first.

After that, a full eight teenagers of different bone ages came out in a file, with tight ropes tied to their hands, and it was impossible to break free.

Although the hemp ropes on the ankles were all untied, no one wanted to escape.

Surrounding the two carriages were more than a dozen tall and burly men, many of whom were holding whips with barbs in their hands. Beside the "Master Zhao" were two armored guards with sullen expressions. There was an icy light shining on the long sword he was holding.

At the same time, the curtain of the carriage that Princess Lanyu was in was also lifted, and several girls stepped out of the carriage one after another, including two girls under ten years old.

Ji Yuenian looked around, feeling vaguely aware of the current situation in her heart.

This place is an extremely bustling market, people come and go, and from time to time, there are government soldiers in armor passing by, but no one cares about these slaves who are bound here.

Even if there were occasional people who stopped and stayed, they looked at Ji Yuenian and the others as if they were looking at a piece of goods. After asking the price, they walked away hesitantly.

Obviously, the head Zhao has a very dark heart, and he has made up his mind to sell these boys and girls for a high price.

"Stand up for me!"

A tall and strong slave walked over viciously, pushing and shoving these teenagers into a line with an extremely impatient expression.

Ji Yuenian's hands were tied in front of his body with hemp rope, and he stood there without saying a word, looking at the extremely noisy market with cold eyes, but deep in his mind, his thoughts were surging.

Every living person in front of me is not fake, the emotions emanating from these creatures are extremely real, and the world here is clearly not an illusion!
In this way, what is the truth about the world of Yao Realm? !

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across his mind, and Ji Yuenian's pupils shrank slightly, as he thought of a terrifying guess.

"Is this really the case..."

"If the truth is what I think, then this white jade butterfly is really too scary..."

Thinking of this, Ji Yuenian turned his head and looked at Princess Lanyu, who was several feet away.

Princess Lanyu seemed to be aware of it, and she raised her eyes to look at Ji Yuenian, and said with her mind: "Looking at your expression, don't you already have a clue?"

Ji Yuenian nodded slightly, and said, "I just had a guess, but I'm not completely sure yet."

Princess Lanyu said: "I also have a guess, and I need to verify it. I will tell you when I have a clue."

When the two were thinking about sound transmission, the market here was already surrounded by many people, and many eyes were wandering around these young girls, as if they were picking out their favorite things.

Among the crowd, a Qingjun scribe in a long robe stepped out, with a dignified expression, and said to Mr. Zhao: "Dare to ask this toothbrush, where do these slaves come from?"

Master Zhao looked a little worried, took out two old yellow papers from his sleeve, and said, "Why are you asking these? I have the approval from the state government, no matter where slaves are, I can sell them!"

The robed scribe looked at Mr. Zhao steadily, and said: "Half a day ago, the three villages and towns in the west of Zezhou Prefecture were ransacked by horse bandits, but the government soldiers did not find any children's bodies. Are they all killed by you idiots?" Is it divided up from the bandits?"

"Nonsense!" Mr. Zhao looked a little panicked. Although he had the approval document for selling slaves, having an affair with a horse bandit was a serious crime of beheading. "You are talking nonsense here, what evidence do you have?"

In the middle of the noise, two extremely gorgeous carriages stopped here, one behind the other.

Director Zhao's eyes lit up, he didn't care about wrangling with the scribe, he went up with two guards, nodded and bowed his head and said, "Is the official going to come down to have a look?"

"What officials! Blind your dog eyes!"

A maid in blue spat at him, turned her head, and lifted the silk curtain of the carriage with her hand, "Young Madam, be careful."

Surrounded by several maids, the young woman in luxurious clothes stepped out of the carriage, her eyes like autumn water swept over all the slaves, and said softly: "That toothbrush, let me ask you, if all these slaves I Buy it, how much silver?"

Master Zhao was overjoyed, bowed his body and said, "Madam, if..."

"Wait a minute!" The robed scribe came up and bowed to the young woman, "Ma'am, everything comes first, first come first, I just wanted to pay for two slaves."

The maid in blue scolded: "Do you know what kind of status our Young Madam is, how dare you..."

The young woman raised her hand, interrupted the green-clothed maid, glanced at the robed scribe, and said, "Which two slaves are you looking at?"

The robed scholar nodded twice from the crowd and said, "It's these two people."

The young woman looked hesitant, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Since you came first, I don't want to bully you. In this way, the girl belongs to me, and the boy belongs to you. How about that?"

The long-robed scribe put it away when he saw it was ready, cupped his hands and said, "Then thank you madam."

After saying this, he walked towards Mr. Zhao who was standing on one side, took out a heavy ingot of snowflake silver from his sleeve, put it in Mr. Zhao's palm, and said in a low voice: "The silver and the goods are paid off."

Master Zhao stared blankly at the silver taels in his hand, and after a few breaths, he could barely react, and subconsciously said: "A slave only needs three taels of silver, but this guy gave me a full 20 taels of silver. Could it be that he lost his head? !"

When he looked up again, the scribe in robes had disappeared into the crowd with the slaves he had just selected, and he was nowhere to be seen.

"The young man he took away is not very human. If you calculate it carefully, 50 taels of silver can't be beaten," the young woman said with a smile, "That toothless man followed the carriage with all the slaves and stayed in the lake. The state governor's office will settle the bill with you."

After saying this, she turned around and stepped into the carriage, and lowered the silk curtains again.

Master Zhao hurriedly responded, and then urged the slaves to stand up one by one, followed the carriage, and headed for Zezhou Governor's Mansion.
