Chapter 192

When Xiao Rongyan entered Nanyan in a carriage as Xiao Rongyan, a wealthy businessman of the Great Wei, he happened to catch up with the first market at the beginning of the year in Mengcheng, a border city of Nanyan.

In the early morning, the glow penetrates through the clouds, coating the bustling Mengcheng with a layer of gold.

Xiao Rongyan's carriage and horse team entered the city in the morning light, and the loud shouts of hawking came from outside the carriage immediately. Xiao Rongyan opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out, the purpose of entering was the bustling market scene that was completely different from Dayan's.

In Mengcheng, the border city of Nanyan, there are nobles wearing silk and satin, as well as ordinary people in rags, and some are locked in cages and sold as slaves.

The shopkeeper carried the burden and yelled at the merchants who rode into the city to show off the quality of their fur.

The boss who occupied the straw-roofed booth in the market early, fearing that the position would not be conspicuous enough, held up his own good goods and sang jokes in an attempt to attract merchants or wealthy lords.

There is also a woman with a woman's hair bun and a basket in her arm, who is anxious to fight for a penny or two.

Everywhere is full of hustle and bustle and worldliness. This is the bustling and noisy that is hard to see in Dayan today, which is really enviable.

Wearing a fox fur cloak, Xiao Rongyan got off the carriage and walked slowly, surrounded by a dozen guards with knives. The ostentation was great, and this also attracted many street vendors with rare and rare things in border towns... eager to let Xiao Rongyan Looking at his own treasures, but also afraid of the guards with knives around Xiao Rongyan.

Xiao Rongyan walked in the market and looked all the way, wherever he went, whenever he saw someone's things, they would definitely be taken away.

Seeing how generous Xiao Rongyan's hands were, everyone was much less afraid of the guards around Xiao Rongyan, holding up their own goods through the guards and shouting for the young master to pass by.

Even the slave trader couldn't help stepping forward, shouting: "My lord, let's buy some female slaves and go back! They are so delicate!"

Nanyan followed the old rule of Dayan before Empress Ji implemented the New Deal, and the slave market was rampant, especially in this city, where it was unscrupulous.

A child with a chain around his neck was spotted by the seller, and he was thrown to the merchant for money, and the child was led away by the rope around his neck. The woman who was locked in a cage and spoke the dialect of the border town of Jin State cried hysterically, with bloody hands Shaking the cage, begging the seller to buy her away together so that she would not be separated from her child, but in exchange for a few cruel whips from the seller, the woman could only cry so much that she would die watching her crying child be killed by someone. Bought like livestock.

Xiao Rongyan walked towards the area in the bazaar specially set aside for buying and selling slaves. The slave traders immediately became enthusiastic and pulled out their own slaves to introduce them.

"Look, son, our slave is strong!" The slave trader dragged his own tall and burly slave to follow Xiao Rongyan's pace, and introduced to Xiao Rongyan through the guards with knives, "Young master is a strong laborer when he buys it back. Let him do anything. OK!"

There is also a merchant who is pulling the female slave and shouting loudly: "Young master! Young master! Our female slave is quite beautiful! Don't look at her unkempt appearance, just sell it back and wash it! The most important thing is that it hasn't been broken yet. She's a baby! It's good to be a girl or a roommate!"

"Our slaves are the best! Young master... our slaves are all young, so they can be brought up from a young age when they are bought! They can do whatever they want! They are all up to you!"

Xiao Rongyan listened carefully to the movements of the slaves in the cage, he could tell that these slaves were brought over by these slave traders from Jin and Dayan.

Most of the slaves from Dayan were yellow and emaciated, and their faces were ashen. Most of the slaves from the state of Jin were crying endlessly, begging the slave traders to let them go.

The Nanyan and Xiliang coalition forces attacked the Jin State, and the border people of the Jin State suffered disaster!

As for Dayan, it was because of the natural disasters last year that the people couldn't eat enough, so it was better to sell themselves to slave traders so that they could have a bite to eat.

Xiao Rongyan went straight through the slave market towards the horse market, and the slave traders left in disappointment and returned to their stalls to sell.

Xiao Rongyan saw a white horse from a long distance away. The white horse was strong and rebellious... Kicking the horse's hooves and circling in circles, several horse dealers couldn't stop it. , the buyer was unprepared and fell on the wooden railing in embarrassment... one hand was pressed into the hot horse manure.

Seeing that the horse was so violent, the buyer got up, his face turning blue and then pale, angrily wiped off the horse dung on his hands, and shook his head and waved his hands repeatedly, saying that he would not buy it!

The horse dealer hurriedly smiled and said, "Master, look at our other horses! The other horses in our family are strong and obedient, it's true! Take a look! Look at...the teeth, the shape! Look around You can’t find such a good and cheap horse in the whole horse market! Let me count it cheaper for you!”

"No, I'll go to another house to see!"

Seeing that he couldn't stop the buyer, the horse dealer was furious and whipped the white horse severely with the whip, which made the white horse raise its front hooves and spit out a white mist from its nose, almost pulling down the stake on which the bridle was tied.

For some reason, when Xiao Rongyan saw that horse, he remembered that Bai Qingyan had a mount named "Gaofeng" a few years ago. Gaifeng died protecting Bai Qingyan, and it seems that Bai Qingyan has never raised a horse since then.

"Look! Look! How many buyers are you here?! If you can't sell your dead horse today... I'll kill you for stew tonight!" The horse dealer stared fiercely at the white horse and said.

"Your family's horses...I want them all!" Xiao Rongyan said.

The horse dealer turned his head, and saw an extremely elegant and elegant man standing in the morning light, with an indifferent smile in his eyes, gentle and noble.

The guard behind Xiao Rongyan stepped forward, took out the money bag and threw it to the horse dealer and asked, "Is it enough?"

The horse dealer opened his purse and nodded again and again: "Enough, enough! Of course! It's just...it's just that my white horse is very hot-tempered!"

"It's okay, I like this white horse very much!" Xiao Rongyan said as he walked up to the white horse, raised his hand slightly and was about to help the white horse's hair, when he saw the white horse took two steps back and pointed in Xiao Rongyan's direction. The hot air was sprayed vigorously, and the muscles of the whole body were tense and resisted very obviously.

Xiao Rongyan's eyebrows and smile deepened, and he was a very spirited horse.

He doesn't want to tame this horse, but he just thinks this horse is worthy of Bai Qingyan...

Xiao Rongyan withdrew his hand that wanted to stroke the horse hair, turned his head and said to the guards beside him: "Send someone to send this white horse to Miss Bai at Tianmenguan!"

The guard was slightly taken aback, wondering whether Xiao Rongyan started to please the elder sister of the fourth girl of the Bai family because of his affection for the fourth girl of the Bai family?
