Chapter 816 The leader's bones are wrong
The leader of the team leader did not agree immediately to Shao Xuan's request, but stared at the short, thin, sickly and weak old slave for several times, but he really didn't realize that there was anything special about this slave.
As the largest slave organization, the slave owners in the organization have developed a good pair of eyes. They can tell which kind of slaves can be sold at a high price or which kind of slaves are not useful. Especially those with high positions, their eyesight is of course stronger. However, as a leader, more slaves have been sold than people from a tribe, but he can't see anything unusual about the slave in front of him. There are so many slaves escorted this time, and more than half of the strong slaves are suitable for being a coolie. Why did this Yanjiao man choose an old slave that is nothing special?
"Know?" asked the leading slave owner.
"An old acquaintance." Shao Xuan did not deny it.
The leader of the team leader looked at Shao Xuan suspiciously, and then looked at the slave. There were indeed many people buying the people they knew, but when it was on the Yanjiao people, it always felt something was wrong. Even if they really knew each other, this "old acquaintance" was definitely not a friendly relationship or an enemy?
After thinking about it, I couldn't figure out the weirdness of it, but the leader still agreed. They were professional slave traders among slave owners, and they took the key task of buying and selling slaves. Since someone wanted to buy slaves, he would sell them, but the price was higher.
Mu Fa came over and bargained with the other party. He went to Chaoqiucheng many times and knew the slave trade market. He knew very well what kind of slaves were worth.
Finally, Shao Xuan bought the slave with a not-so-bright water moon stone.
The transaction was completed, and the slave owner who led the team took off a golden weapon with an animal teeth on his neck, the size of a palm.
This kind of thing is called 未(i), which is a tool used to untie knots.
When there is no gold lock, the knot is a simple, convenient and low-cost lock. Even if the wooden lock and stone lock appear later, the knot is still the mainstream. Sometimes, for the sake of the safety of the property, complex dead knots will be formed when knots are tied. Some knots can create the effect of nine-rings. If you don’t use tools, it will take at least half a day to solve them. But if you use tools like tuning, it may be possible to untie them in two breaths.
If the knot is the earliest lock, then the tulip is the earliest key.
The former slave owners would carry the squid with them, and at the same time, they also told others: We are a slave!
Sometimes a person will wear several types of tusks at the same time, just like the tusks worn by the slave owners in front of him, some are short, some are slender, some are straight, some are larger in curves, some are simpler in shape, some are more complex, and even many hollow patterns.
Shao Xuan is quite familiar with knots, so you can see at a glance that there are nearly a hundred kinds of knots on the ropes that tie the slaves in front of him, and more than half of them have never seen one. Although some knots seem simple, Shao Xuan knows that such knots are not easy to untie.
It's really amazing.
Different shapes of tufts are used to untie different types of knots. If you wear too many, it will naturally give people the impression that "I have many slaves, so there are many knots, and I need more knots."
Slaves are also a kind of wealth, and the behavior of slave owners is also a manifestation of showing off their wealth.
As the craftsmen opened up their brains, the genius craftsmen with great skills emerged one by one, and some more complex and sturdy locks were born, but they were difficult to make, costly and very expensive. The nobles who had the conditions to use gold locks experienced the benefits of these new locks, and gradually reduced the frequency of using knots. In addition to the use nature of the more gorgeous gold locks, they can also decorate the facade, showing the noble status of the noble slave owner, which is very popular among the nobles.
With the replacement of sturdy locks, knots in daily life no longer need to be tied to dead knots. Therefore, the tusks used to untie ropes have gradually been used less, but the tusks have not disappeared. Now, the tusks are continuing to be passed on, but the function is constantly fading, and they are expanding towards accessories.
The nobles have continued their habit of pretending to behave and wearing tulips to show their status as a noble slave owner. Since tulips are no longer used to untie ropes, they do not need to be strong and durable. Beautiful gems and other tulips are good ornaments and make them look more stylish. Some female slave owners will also use tulips to fix the heads as decorations. The production of tulips is more inclined to have a gorgeous appearance rather than functional practicality.
Therefore, many slave owners still have the tradition of wearing tusks, but those who wear tusks may not really use it to untie the ropes.
But among the slave owners, there is a special group.
People in the "Bi" organization always have a special liking for tuition. The tuition they wear is still used to untie rope knots. When escorting slaves, most of them use rope knots. The rope is also a relatively strong rope that has been specially processed.
People who are all good at knots are tied with good knots. If you don’t borrow tools, it will be very difficult to untie them. Of course, using a hard weapon to cut them, it can naturally be cut off, but who will risk offending "Bi" and stealing "Bi" slaves?
Most of the slaves who tried their best to break the rope and escape would still be found by the "given" people by various means and punished in more cruel ways. Some of them were sold as food to the cannibal tribes after they were squeezed out their labor.
Slaves that fall into their hands rarely escape safely.
The leader of the team leader untied a knot connected to the slave team with a scimitar-like stylus, and led the untied rope to hand it to Shao Xuan, and the old slave was tied to the other end of the rope.
"This slave belongs to you."
The other slave owners who escorted slaves were full of joy when they saw the transaction was concluded. They thought the transaction was cost-effective and they made a lot of money. There were few things like Water Moon Stone here and could illuminate them. It was more valuable than ordinary gems. An old slave with little labor force would be good to exchange for such gems.
But the leader of the team leader was not very happy, but he became more and more confused. He did not regret whether to make a deal or make a profit. He recognized what he did, but he still felt a strange feeling in his heart. When he left, he looked back at the hunched old slave for several times, but unfortunately he still couldn't see anything.
After the slave team left, walked away and disappeared, Shao Xuan looked at the old slave standing there with his head hanging down and hunched over.
"Also pretend? I don't know who you are?"
The others were even more curious by Shao Xuan's words. They looked left and right and said that they had never seen this person before.
"I...I don't know...what are you talking." The old slave said in a hoarse voice, tremblingly, and said authentic local dialect. Even the Changzhou Tribe who came here had learned what he said, and he didn't say anything.
Guihe and the others were even more confused. Who is this? Could it be that Shao Xuan met when he came here? Those who have been staying on the other side must not know this person.
Just as he was thinking, Guihe heard Shao Xuan say, "Stop pretending, steal seven."
Thieves seven?!!
Thousands of knife-like eyes swept over.
When it comes to Yanjiao people's view of "stealing", it's like seeing disgusting shit. Since the person who knew the "stealing" came here, Yanjiao was excited and gloating. Now, they actually saw "stealing" again! They are really an old acquaintance!
Back then, the man was caught stealing cabbage from the farmland where the Qi Qi tries the Yanjiao and beat him down with a beat. Later, the man, together with other thieves, wanted to steal the green face and fangs, but was chased by Shao Xuan, and finally had to blow the whistle and ask for help with the result of being demoted. Now, he has encountered it again.
Knowing that I could not escape, the thief was so entangled that he was distorted.
Before, he was mixed up in this team of slaves, and he was still thinking in his heart that he was such a genius. When he entered Chaoqiu City, he would find an opportunity to escape. The person who was so angry that he was so angry, Lalala ~
The victory song of the "thief" organization was constantly circulating in his heart. The "thief" was very proud. As a result, before he arrived in Chaoqiu City, he met the nemesis of Shao Xuan. He pretended to be like this, and Shao Xuan could still recognize him!
Every time I meet the Yanjiao people, there is nothing good!
Tuo Qi felt that he was so unlucky that he had not worshipped his ancestors before this operation.
In front of everyone, the old slave was originally covered in wind and frost, with a listless expression and a weak body gradually began to change, no longer hunched, his spine was erect, his shriveled body bulged like an inflatable, and there was a sound of giggling bones being dislocated.
Guihe and the others looked at the slave's eyes, from the start of surprise, to doubt, to anger, a sentence popped up in their hearts: Damn, it's really this guy!
"Stealing Seven!"
The people in Yanjiao moved their shoulders and surrounded the Thief in the middle, sneering repeatedly, and their eyes seemed to say, "Look, I won't beat you to death!"
Tuo Qi seemed to be frightened, standing there blankly, with his eyes dull, but Shao Xuan knew that this guy must have been thinking about a way to escape.
After looking at the surrounding terrain and confirming that it was very difficult for Tuoqi to escape, Shao Xuan asked again, "Tell me, what did you steal this time?"
People who "steal" will not hide their things after stealing things. Others steal things for fear of being known, while they are afraid that others will not know them, and they will even show off. The more precious things are, the more crazy they show off, and they wish they all knew them.
However, in order to protect his own achievements, Tuoqi may not be able to tell the truth.
Sure enough, Tuo Qi didn't say anything about Shao Xuan's question.
Shao Xuan did not urge him, but said, "We will go to the royal city this time, and at the same time, we will bring you a message."
The thief still lowered his head and didn't move, but Shao Xuan knew that he was listening and continued: "We will tell the people in the royal city that the thief who was the thief, took every effort to steal Chaoqiu City Lord Chao Wen's pants."
Tuo Qi suddenly looked up at Shao Xuan, "This is simply an insult to my stealing skill!" Not to mention Chao Wen's shorts, he could easily steal the shorts of those people in the palace of Wangcheng! This low-level technique is something that some new talents do. How could Tuo Qi do it? He is the one who wants to be a thief!
The royal city is full of large caravans and long-distance teams. Such entertainment news will probably be spread on a large scale. Perhaps, some people who have been robbed will more enthusiastically promote the "results" of the robbery, and add some materials to make the news more interesting.
Obviously, Tuo Qi had already thought of a lot.
"Ha, do you think others will believe it?" Tuo Qiyi looked indifferent.
"You can try it." Shao Xuan said in a gentle tone.
The thief did not speak. If the Yanjiao people threatened with force, he would fabricate all kinds of lies to conquer the Yanjiao people. However, what Shao Xuan mentioned was a matter of reputation. This was simply a wastewater that forced him to fall into his reputation!
Moreover, others say that this is not very lethal, but this is what Yanjiao Ren said, so he needs to pay more attention to the thief. He is afraid that Yanjiao Ren will deduct more shit pots for him. He is now preparing to make the ranking, but he doesn't want to be affected by this matter.
After thinking about it, Tuo Qi made a sound and said depressedly: "The squid is a squid, which is called "the squid of the bones."
