Chapter 903 Transactions with the Wuhuan People
Is there really someone who is so desperate that he is not afraid of death, and he is not even afraid of torture and killing?
All the Wuhuan people looked back and saw Yuan Xiaoyi, dressed in blue, holding the iron cage and shouting to them.
The young man who came to buy a Han woman, saw that the one who stopped him was a thin young man in blue clothes, couldn't help but grin and smiled at the leader of Wuhuan:
"Wuyan, it seems that you are still too kind to these Han slaves.
Even such a weak slave dares to speak out and hinder your business."
Wuyan (Note 1) is one of the most trusted warriors in the young clan leader Lou class.
His status is comparable to that of Su Puyan, and the three of them are collectively called "Three Tigers in Western Liaoning".
This fat Namier is a nobleman of Wuhuan and is also the elder brother of the confidant Namier, a warrior under Lou Ban.
If I was slapped in the face by a Han slave in front of Namil, wouldn’t I be ridiculed by Namil in the future?
Wu Yan suddenly felt very unhappy and ordered the warrior under his command with a gloomy face:
"Go and drag the Han man out and peel him off in front of these slaves!
It’s also possible for these Han slaves to gain a lot of knowledge, so who dares to be arrogant in the future!”
The two warriors behind Wu Yan were ordered to walk towards Yuan Xiaoyi's cage with ferocious faces, and were about to drag him out and peel him.
"You...you can't kill me!"
Yuan Xiaoyi knew that Wuyan was the real person in charge of these Wuhuan people, and shouted at him with all his strength.
Wu Yan felt that Yuan Xiaoyi was really funny, and he was afraid that he would be crazy about gaining and losing.
He walked to the iron cage and said to Yuan Xiaoyi:
"How come I, Wuyan, killed hundreds of Han slaves, how could I not kill you?
What special thing about you?"
Yuan Xiaoyi looked at Wu Yan's gloomy face and said:
"My name is Yuan Yi, and I came from the Yuan family in Runan.
Since you deceived the people to come to western Liaoning in Shouchun, you should know what the Yuan family in Runan means?
My father is Yuan Yin, the prefect of Danyang, and my grandfather is Yuan Wei, the prefect of the prefect.
My uncle is King Yuan Shu of Chu!
If you kill me, you will be in trouble."
Wu Yan said in a deep voice:
"I know the Yuan family in Runan, but how do I know that you are not lying?
If you can't prove your identity, it's not as simple as skinning.
There will be even more cruel punishments waiting for you.”
"When I came, you all plundered all the property on me, and there was a jade pendant that could prove the sons of the Yuan family's direct descendants.
You can find it out as soon as you look at it.
And the few servants who came with me can prove the identity of this young master!”
As soon as Yuan Xiaoyi said this, A Zheng hurriedly testified:
"My young master did not lie. He is indeed a direct descendant of the Yuan family in Runan!"
It’s true or false, Wuyan immediately sent someone to verify it and confirmed Yuan Xiaoyi’s identity.
Since this young man in blue is so big, it is obviously inappropriate to kill him casually.
Seeing that Wu Yan had reduced his murderous intent, Yuan Xiaoyi took the opportunity to persuade him:
"Aren't you Wuhuan people just to make money?
My father is rich, and my uncle is even richer.
As long as you threaten my life, they will be willing to pay for the amount of money.
How about it, let's make a deal?
Don't trade these people for now, I will cooperate with you to ask my uncle for money.
The people in the cage are not as valuable as me, Yuan Yi. Your deal is definitely profitable and you will never lose money!”
It was really a bit difficult for Yuan Xiaoyi to say such a lot of words in such a weak state.
After he finished speaking, he stared at Wuyan panting, waiting for his decision.
Wu Yan's current mood is a bit contradictory.
He thought that the only people who were deceived by the Lou class were only ordinary people, but he did not expect that there were also children of the Yuan family in Runan.
If Yuan Xiaoyi had a feud with the King of Chu, it would be more than worth the loss.
Lou Ban and Su Puyan had many difficulties in returning to western Liaoning, so Wuyan didn't know that Lou Ban's stronghold in Shouchun City had been caught by Yuan Shu.
Wu Yan thought for a moment and felt that what Yuan Xiaoyi said was also reasonable.
But he couldn't be led by this Han man, so he sneered:
"You said it right, we can indeed exchange you for more money and goods.
But this can only guarantee that you will not be sold alone. As for what does it have to do with me selling these slaves?"
Yuan Xiaoyi was delighted.
As long as the Wuhuan people are moved by themselves and realize their importance, the next thing will be much easier.
He said to Wuyan seriously:
"You have also seen my condition. I'm afraid I won't live long after I haven't entered the water for a long time.
If you agree to my request, I will have a good meal and let you make a big profit.
If you insist on buying and selling these people, I will go on a hunger strike to the end!
In this way, you will get nothing except the anger of the King of Chu!"
According to what Wu Yan thought, at this time, Su Puyan and others were still in Shouchun, and it was obviously not a wise move to anger Yuan Shu at this time.
And if you think about it carefully, these Han slaves are staying honestly in the iron cage and will not grow wings and fly away.
So what if you don't sell it for the time being?
When I exchanged the direct descendants of the Yuan family of Runan to get money, how to deal with these Han people is not the final say?
Thinking of this, Wu Yan nodded to Yuan Xiaoyi and said:
"Yes, but you must cooperate with us in the deal with the Yuan family.
No hunger strikes are allowed!
Otherwise I will let you know what true cruelty is.”
Yuan Xiaoyi was secretly happy when he heard this. What a Wuhuan dog, he finally fell for this young master.
I just drew you a big cake. Do you really think that these Wuhuan tribes can compete with the Great Chu?
We also need to negotiate with the Yuan family. The current helmsman of the Yuan family is King Yuan Shu of Chu!
Although this uncle who became the king only met Yuan Xiaoyi for a few times, his legend is remembered by every Yuan family's son.
Looking at Yuan Shu’s debut, he has never suffered any losses as long as he makes a deal with others.
It is worse to want to gain benefits from Yuan Shu than to have a tiger's skin.
Yuan Xiaoyi naturally didn't want to die if he could save his life. He said to Wu Yan:
"It's okay to let me eat, but I really can't eat this pig food.
This will starve me to death, but no wonder I am."
Yuan Xiaoyi is now a priceless treasure to the Wuhuan people, and can earn countless wealth from the Great Chu.
What is some food?
As long as he doesn't seek death, he is better than anything else.
Moreover, with Yuan Xiaoyi's importance, it is obviously not suitable to keep him in a cage now.
Wu Yan said to Yuan Xiaoyi:
“You will live in the tent in a while, and you will eat whatever we eat.
Don’t play tricks, otherwise we would rather not make a deal with Yuan than make you die!”
Wu Yan had already taken the bait, so Yuan Xiaoyi no longer took him seriously.
"Don't worry, as long as you Wuhuan people abide by the agreement and no longer trade the children of the Han family, I will listen to you everything."
Wu Yan nodded. He could see that Yuan Xiaoyi was powerless, and a young man like him probably wouldn't dare to make any changes.
