(Today's Fourth Update)
The 176th chapter "Midway Attack"
Du Wei glanced at him. Sandy quickly lowered his voice and said: "You are not from here so you don't know. That fatty is a famous person here. He is the head steward of a great aristocratic family in the Imperial Capital. His name is Gu Luo. Many of the slave traders here know him. He is an old buyer here. Moreover, he is not someone to be trifled with. You should not fight with him. "
Du Wei smiled. Then, without waiting for Ruo Lin to speak, he smiled and said in a voice that was neither loud nor soft: "Ten … gold coins!"
An uproar!
Looking at this young kid shouting out a price of ten gold coins … Although this amount is not much, but ten gold coins is equivalent to one hundred silver coins.
One hundred silver coins to buy ten slaves, three of which are old and weak. This kind of loss-making transaction makes people curious.
Moreover, there are many people in the crowd who recognize the middle-aged fatty and know that he is not someone to be trifled with. Many people are also knowledgeable. Originally, they were about to shout out a price, but when they saw the fatty open his mouth, they all closed their mouths. Suddenly, Du Wei, this unfamiliar kid, came out. Everyone could not help but sigh:
Someone is going to be unlucky.
That fatty called Gu Luo was not a reckless fellow. His eyes were also very sharp. He looked at Du Wei and saw that Du Wei is somewhat extraordinary. To be able to survive in the capital, this fatty is not a fool. After hesitating for a moment, he did not want to easily offend Du Wei. This seemingly ordinary, but exudes a noble aura.
After all, this is the capital. Under the feet of the emperor, who knows how many noble families there are. Although he is usually somewhat arrogant, he only bullies some foreign merchants who do not have a backer. He is not stupid enough to cause trouble.
He thought for a moment and smiled at Du Wei from afar. He even nodded his head as a greeting.
But Duwei didn't even bother to look at him. His eyes didn't even spare him a glance, and then focused on the stage.
Ruo Lin went to pay the money, and then a slave trader immediately jumped down from the platform and gave a sign to Ruo Lin, indicating that she could take the sign and go behind them at any time.
However, Du Wei also wanted to buy the next batch of slaves. Sandy's eye for people was very accurate. The quality of the new batch of slaves was even better than the previous batch. What made Du Wei faintly interested was:
There were a total of fifteen slaves at the back. Thirteen of them were young and strong men with tanned skin and firm muscles. Furthermore, they were standing on the platform … Hmm, how should he put it? Although they were honest, their eyes were full of vigor. It could be said that they were difficult to tame. However, each and every one of them stood there obediently. In fact, they stood very straight and orderly.
In particular, what made Du Wei curious was that at the back of the line, there was an old man and a young man. An old man with a head full of white hair. He was so thin that he was only skin and bones. However, he still held his chin high, and there was a faint trace of arrogance on his face that didn't match his identity as a slave.
As for the young man beside him, he always had his head down. His naked upper body didn't look as thin and weak as imagined. Instead, he looked very clean.
The old man held the young man's hand tightly and stood beside the group of young slaves. The young slaves seemed to be faintly protecting the old man and the young man behind them.
When Sandy saw this group of people, his eyes lit up and he whispered, "Honorable sir, this batch is the best! This is the best batch I have seen in the past few days! Look at that old man. At first glance, you can tell that he is a person with a high status among the natives! Maybe he is a patriarch! Take a look, he has a tattoo on his body. I heard that among the natives of Nanyang, only some people with high status are qualified to have tattoos! If you buy this kind of person, it will be enough to suppress a lot of slaves who want to escape. With this treasure in your hands, the other slaves will definitely not escape! "
However, this time, before Du Wei could open his mouth, the middle-aged fatty had already seen the value of this batch of slaves.
"Eighty silver coins." Gu Luo's opening bid immediately caused the crowd to sigh.
Many buyers with sharp eyes didn't dare to compete with Gu Luo and had no choice but to give up.
"Ten … gold coins." Du Wei still spoke unhurriedly.
This time, Gu Luo was somewhat dissatisfied.
Why is this young man always going against me? Just now, I had already given him face, but this guy still doesn't know what's good for him?
Gu Luo glanced at Du Wei and then sneered. He whispered something to a green clothed servant beside him. The servant nodded and walked towards Du Wei from the crowd. The people around him intentionally or unintentionally made way for him.
When the servant walked over, his face was still very polite. He first gave Du Wei a salute. From the looks of it, this servant is really from a big family, so he still has a sense of propriety.
"Young Master." The servant whispered: "Our master Gu Luo said he already gave you face just now. This batch is what he wants, so please don't hurt our friendship. Today's matter is to select a gardener for Count Biliaibuer's new house. "
These words were very well spoken, neither soft nor hard, but just right. Moreover, the servant also cleverly pointed out his identity.
Count Biliaibuer?
Du Wei smiled.
So it's from Count Biliaibuer's house. Count Biliaibuer has always been on Prince Son's side. After the coup, his status also skyrocketed. Rumor has it that after the fall of Marquis Solomon, Prince Son handed over many of the royal family's properties to Count Biliaibuer to manage. Recently, Count Biliaibuer's name has been in the limelight in the capital's noble circle.
That servant thought that once he revealed his identity, the other party would be polite and give way according to past practice. At the very least, they wouldn't hurt each other's face.
However, after Du Wei finished laughing, he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Ruo Lin and nodded.
Ruo Lin understood and pulled out something from her bosom. Handing it over to the servant, she waved her hand to let him go back.
Gu Luo looked at his servant coming back and took a look at the item. Immediately, his face changed!
It's a small wooden sign with a few simple patterns engraved on it. This is not Du Wei's badge, but the logo of the shop under Du Wei's name.
Gu Luo's heart skipped a beat and his face immediately changed. Carefully looking at Du Wei, his eyes suddenly lit up!
He saw that although Duwei's clothes were ordinary, but when he casually carried it on his back, he could vaguely see a delicate bracelet under his clothes. The bracelet was made of gold and inlaid with a green gem.
As a steward of Count Biliaibuer's house, Gu Luo's eyesight is naturally not bad. He immediately recognized that this is a magic bracelet used by magicians!
Looking at the sign in his hand and seeing Du Wei's bracelet, how could he not guess Du Wei's identity?
The arrogance on his face immediately disappeared without a trace. Sweating profusely on his forehead, Gu Luo quickly pushed away the people around him and tried to squeeze through the crowd to reach Du Wei's side. Just as he was about to give a salute, he saw Du Wei's casual clothes. His heart skipped a beat and he stopped in his tracks. Instead, he bowed and put on a humble smile: "Du … Noble Young Master, I really didn't recognize your identity! I … I didn't think that someone of your noble status would come to this lowly place … I really deserve to die! Damn it! "
After saying that, Gu Luo didn't wait for Du Wei to speak. Instead, he raised his head and shouted: "20 gold coins! 20 slaves! "
After he finished speaking, he took a step back and smiled respectfully, "Honorable young master, I'll buy these slaves as a gift to you! Please accept them! "
Sandy was already shocked to the point of being stunned … Many of the people around recognized Gu Luo and knew his identity. Seeing this usually arrogant guy smiling like a pug in front of this youth, he even spent dozens of gold coins to buy these slaves. Not only that, he even wiped the sweat off his forehead as if he was afraid the youth would show the slightest dissatisfaction.
This youth … What is his identity?!
Du Wei smiled faintly and looked at Gu Luo: "Well, it seems that Count Biliaibuer's men are very good at doing things. In that case, Ruo Lin, accept them. "
"Thank you! Thank you, Sir! "Gu Luo almost knelt down. He is just a small steward of the family. In the family, there are many stewards like him. In front of him is a Duke who is even more noble than his own master, Count Biliaibuer!
The clown-like slave trader also saw Du Wei's extraordinariness. He also recognized Gu Luo as an old buyer. Seeing Gu Luo being so respectful to this youth, how could he not know when to advance and when to retreat?
Normally, after someone calls out a price, he would shout out a few more times to lure more people to bid higher. But at this moment, where would he have the courage to do so?
He was about to announce the success of the transaction and then quickly inform his master afterwards. It would be best if he sent someone to curry favor with this strange youth …
But today, it seems that many things have come together.
At the back of the crowd, an indifferent male voice sounded: "25 gold coins, these slaves, we want them."
The audience went into an uproar!
