Chapter 218: Son-in-Law Autumn Festival
...
Zhumen and Jianzong still have the right to speak in Jiting Dynasty.
Early the next morning, an army dispatched from Changhe City took over Beicheng and began to thoroughly investigate the matter of Beicheng.
Sure enough, it was not only the slaves who suffered, but also some merchants who migrated from afar. In the city lord's mansion, there were obviously piles of missing reports, but the city lord and officials put them aside.
If these people had no deal with Wumujiao, no one would believe it.
For a while, all the servant camps in Beicheng were also detained by the army and subjected to strict interrogation. If there were some slaves with unknown origins, or people who were obviously plundered, then all the operators of the servant camps Beheading and execution on the spot, no mercy!
Those who do this kind of business are more or less involved in human trafficking, and they can't stand the investigation at all.
It was just noon, and more than a hundred people were dragged out and beheaded, not to mention the chain of interests behind it...
There are about 6,000 slaves in Beicheng. These 6,000 slaves are confiscated. Although they cannot get rid of the imprint of slaves, at least they will not be slaughtered because they cannot be sold. There are still some civil servants in the dynasty who have strong governance capabilities. Six thousand slaves will have their own homes.
However, the slavery system was not completely smashed. One year later, the entire Beicheng was still full of people transported from all over the mainland, and many countries also had very prominent slave trading cities, with 6,000 people and millions, tens of millions of slaves. Compared with the group, it is really insignificant.
...
After leaving Beicheng, everyone continued their journey.
Without being haunted by nightmares, the look of the prophet Li Xinghua gradually recovered.
A while ago, seeing her haggard and pale face every day, and the unresolved depression between her eyebrows made Zhu Minglang feel extremely distressed.
Fortunately, I can always see her smiling face recently, which shows that she has gradually stepped out of the shadow of the prophecy backlash.
After witnessing Zhu Minglang, Bai Qin'an, Wu Feng and others beheading the Eyeless Evil Dragon, the couple of dragon shepherds admired them even more, and their words and deeds showed respect for the strong.
Finally, when they reached a place where they could fly, the dragon shepherd couple told them that after taking off from here, they would completely leave the territory of the imperial capital and start entering the territories of other countries.
The first country on the way is the country of Pei.
This country has opened up airspace long ago, and the dragon shepherd and his wife are very familiar with the air routes, and it doesn't take long for them to pass through the country of Pei.
After Pei Guo, there will be a relatively dangerous mountain and dense forest. They can walk along the road of the country, and if they know the shortcut, they can cross it quickly.
Combining the strength of this group of people above the king level, there are many paths that the dragon shepherd and his wife can choose. Even if they fly over some dangerous jungles, as long as the dragon king and Longwei appear, those thousand-year-old monsters and demons will be killed. Also dare not act rashly.
...
The journey is far away, and I have unknowingly stepped into the Western Region of the Extreme Court Continent. The country here is the most distinctive in the entire Extreme Court Continent.
The reason why they are unique is not only that they have exotic customs, but also that each country has formed its own philosophy.
For example, the country they are about to arrive in.
This is a country of women.
Women are superior to men, including the Miaoshan Sword Sect who sits in this country, also known as Jiangu Mountain. Even a male bird that accidentally flies into the forest will be cut off with a sword, let alone a man.
Zhu Minglang came here once.
Although I was in a hurry, I couldn't be more impressed with this country.
The Kingdom of Miao is a big country, with no less than a hundred city-states and thousands of cities. They have vast land, rich resources, strict systems, and orderly management, which puts many surrounding countries ashamed.
...
After arriving in the territory of the Miao Kingdom, it will take about four or five days to enter the Miaoshan Sword Sect, which is enough to prove the size of the Miao Kingdom.
The group of them did not stay in other cities and city-states of the Miao Kingdom, but flew directly to the capital of the Miao Kingdom.
The Miaoshan Sword Sect cannot casually step in. Even if the elders and sect masters of the Sword Sect have been informed in advance, Bai Qinan, Wen Mengru and others still need to go back to the mountain gate in person to report something, and then do it again. discuss.
Zhu Minglang was not in a hurry, so he rested in the Kingdom of Miao.
The Kingdom of Miao is also known as the Kingdom of Flowers, and their national teacher is even called the God of Flowers. The biggest feature of this country is the flowers that can be seen everywhere. No matter where you go, you can smell the beautiful women from the window sill Many times, I am intoxicated by the fragrance wafting from everywhere, and I can't even tell whether it is the fragrance of beautiful women or the fragrance of flowers!
The capital is particularly lively these days, as if a grand festival is being held. There are dazzling lanterns everywhere, and large handfuls of fresh roses are spread all over the city since entering the capital.
Fang Niannian's eyes glowed with a different brilliance. This is what she likes the most. It is much more shocking and beautiful than the lantern festival of Zulong City State, especially when the entire huge national city is decorated in such a beautiful way. so intoxicatingly...
"Are you holding any festival?" Yun Zhonghe couldn't help asking.
"The flowers are blooming, and it's not a festival. It's just a time of recruiting a son-in-law once a year. Men from other countries will be eager to try, so the capital will look very crowded and noisy." Wen Mengru said lightly.
This kind of scene is not surprising.
"Recruiting a son-in-law??" Zhu Minglang raised his eyebrows.
Although he has been here once, he doesn't know much about the customs here.
"It's always been like this in the country of Miao. When the princesses and princesses reach the age of marriage, they will recruit husbands across the country, usually in autumn when the maple leaves are red, and then the feudal princes will follow suit. Gradually, the folks Women will also recruit husbands during this season, so there is the current situation." Wen Mengru said.
"What's the method of recruiting a son-in-law?" Yun Zhonghe thought about it and became interested.
What an exciting scene that the women in the whole daughter country invite relatives when the maple leaves are red.
It's no wonder that the capital is overcrowded, compared to the heroes and talents from all over the world flocking here, just to show off their demeanor in the Miao Kingdom and marry a beautiful woman!
"Junior Brother, I heard that this is how Zhu Tianguan met Head Meng." At this time, Wu Feng whispered to Zhu Minglang.
"Isn't it an arranged marriage?" Zhu Minglang asked in confusion.
"They arranged it. I really think it was your grandfather who appointed the head of Meng, and the head of Meng asked Zhu Tianguan to participate in the "Blooming Blossoms and Festive Son-in-Law Festival" to stand out from the crowd," Wu Feng said.
"So that's how it is." Zhu Minglang suddenly realized.
Since there is such a little story.
Zhu Minglang didn't know why the relationship broke up afterwards.
Mainly we dare not ask.
Anyway, after they parted ways, even Zhu Minglang became an orphan.
Zhu Minglang even felt that the head of Meng, who ignored the secular world and devoted himself to seeking the way of the sword, no longer remembered his name.
