"What's going on?"
Riding on the horse, Li Mu looked up out of curiosity.
On the street in front of him, he saw a parade of floats approaching.
All white horses were pulling the specially made white carriages. The shafts of the carriages were extremely long, and the colorful canopy was eye-catching. The coachman turned out to be a woman in armor. On the carriages, there was a grille made of steel bars as thick as a finger, which sealed the carriages like a small cage. Through the grille, Li Mu could see that each carriage was pulling five scantily dressed women.
These women were tall and slender, with exaggerated curves. Even with Li Mu's eyes on Earth, he couldn't help but be shocked. All of them had big breasts, just like the hot girls in Europe and America on Earth. Their bodies were perfect and exaggerated to the extreme. What surprised Li Mu even more was that these women all had blond hair, just like the white people in Europe and America on Earth.
"Why do they look like slaves?"
Riding on the horse, Li Mu was pushed to the front of the parade by the crowd.
Only then did he realize that apart from wearing extremely little clothing, these golden-haired and fiery hot women were only covered by a thin, almost transparent veil. Only the three beauties on their bodies were covered by black cloth, and this kind of covering made their entire bodies filled with a kind of temptation.
Every one of them was wearing finely made shackles and handcuffs.
Those shackles and handcuffs were shining with silver light. From a distance, they looked like decorations. But when Li Mu took a closer look, he found that the shackles and handcuffs had chained them to the fixed point of the fine steel grille of the carriages, leaving them with little room to move freely. They could not stretch their arms, and they could only stand on their tiptoes in an exaggerated posture, showing off the beauty of their bodies to the fullest.
Most of those women were good-looking with wheat-colored skin. For the Qin people in Chang 'an, that kind of appearance was exotic and alluring.
However, their faces were filled with grief, indignation, and humiliation.
Some of them were even choked with white silk, so they could not speak. Their saliva wet the white silk, which was obviously to prevent them from biting their tongues to commit suicide.
"They are female slaves captured from the prairie." Zheng Cunjian explained.
Li Mu was slightly stunned.
The women on the prairie actually had this kind of appearance. They had long blonde hair, but their eyes were not green. Otherwise, they could have blond hair and blue eyes. Then, they would really be the Caucasians on Earth.
"There are often wars between the empire and the nomadic tribes on the vast pasture. When the military sweeps through the vast pasture, they will capture the pasture people as slaves. The men are all coolies, while the women who are good-looking will be selected and trained as female slaves to serve as receptionists in the Musical House. This batch of female slaves should be the new ones that have just been sent here from the front, so the Musical House's carriages will drag them to parade through the streets in order to attract the attention and eyes of all the people in the city. For three consecutive days, they will attract the attention of people from all walks of life in the city and create the greatest momentum before the opening of the market. On the opening day of the market, these female slaves can be auctioned like commodities, and the highest bidder will get them. In the end, some of the buyers will be sold, and the rest will stay in the Musical House to receive customers and do business."
Zheng Cunjian explained.
He noticed that Li Mu's eyes had been fixed on the floats. He thought Li Mu was interested in those exotic girls, so he deliberately said a few more words.
That was normal.
As far as Zheng Cunjian knew, Li Mu was not married. Except for his two little attendants, he did not have any concubines. So, he should still be a virgin. In the Qin Empire, the emperor encouraged children to have children. Anyone over the age of 12 could marry a wife or a concubine. According to his age, the second young master of the Li Family was already 15 years old, which was long past that age. Young people were full of vigor and energy, so it was normal for him to be fond of women.
If Li Mu was really into that kind of thing, then for Zheng Cunjian, there was more room for manipulation.
After hearing that, Li Mu understood.
That kind of behavior was like a live advertisement.
He was curious, so he watched carefully. Surrounded by the crowd, he rode his horse and passed by the parade of floats.
There were ten floats in total, and 46 female slaves from the prairie were on board.
Every one of them was stunningly beautiful and had a hot figure. They could be regarded as stunners among women.
What was noteworthy was that one of the female slaves looked very young. She was imprisoned alone in a floats. She was a stunning beauty. Her features were exquisite and beautiful. She was draped in a robe different from that of the other female slaves from the prairie. Her temperament was cold, and her eyes were flickering with anger. At first glance, Li Mu was a little absent-minded.
Li Mu sucked in a breath of cold air.
This woman was like a blossoming Thorny Rose, with a deadly beauty like poison.
At that moment, Li Mu could not help but think of another equally stunning face. On the wooden table of the noodle stall in Peace Town, when the woman in white lifted her veil to eat the noodles, she revealed a fair and delicate face that was equally stunning. In contrast, the woman in white was like an ethereal fairy in the Moon Palace, while the captive female slave of an alien race was like a fiery and furious goddess of war. Although they were different, they were both stunners in the human world.
Zheng Cunjian asked a few questions in the crowd beside him. Then, with great excitement, he said, "Young Master, it turns out that these 46 female slaves have quite a background. This time, the Musical House in Chang 'an has spent a lot of money to snatch them over … Well, that's really a surprise to me."
Li Mu looked at Zheng Cunjian and did not answer.
But the meaning in his eyes was clear. "What's their background? Just tell me. Don't keep me guessing. Are you asking for a beating?" Zheng Cunjian shuddered.
Knowing that Li Mu was hot-tempered, he did not dare to hide the truth anymore. He hurriedly said, "These 46 female slaves turned out to be the Wolf Warriors of the Wolf Temple on the prairie, especially the leader. Oh, the one imprisoned alone in a special floats. Her identity is not ordinary. She is the daughter of the brother of the Great Jebe of the prairie. It is said that she was chosen as the Virgin by the Wolf Temple. But later, for some reason, she did not join the Wolf Temple but became a Wolf Warrior. Well, the other 45 female slaves are all her bodyguards. In the past few years, this female Wolf Warrior has gained quite a reputation on the prairie …"
"Oh, it turns out that she is indeed a goddess of war."
Li Mu nodded.
He did not know much about the prairie. He only knew a little about it.
Half of what he knew about the prairie was from Qing Feng, his little attendant, at the dinner table. The other half was from his conversation with his sworn brother, Guo Yuqing. Brother Guo seemed to know a lot about the prairie. Judging from their conversation, Li Mu could tell that Guo Yuqing was very close to the prairie. At that time, Li Mu once guessed that Guo Yuqing might be from the prairie, but he did not ask further.
On the Divine Land, the prairie did not belong to the three empires of the Western Qin, the Northern Song, and the Southern Chu. Instead, it was ruled by nomads. It was a powerful alliance composed of many tribes. The Wolf God was the supreme god worshiped by the nomads, while the Wolf Temple was the spokesperson of the Wolf God. Walking on the prairie, the Wolf Temple had the authority of an emperor and could order all the tribes.
Those female slaves turned out to be the Wolf Warriors of the Wolf Temple. Their status was really quite high. If one were to make an analogy, if they were in the Western Qin Empire, they could be regarded as the golden branches and jade leaves, enjoying a respected status and treatment.
In particular, the female Wolf Warriors were even rarer.
Unfortunately, they were eventually captured by the army of the Western Qin Empire and became prisoners. From then on, their lives were plunged into misery.
Deep down, Li Mu sympathized with those women.
In particular, the woman who was locked up alone in the prison of the flower carriage was too stunning. She was so beautiful that she did not seem to belong to the human world. Her fatal beauty could definitely make countless men fall for her and commit crimes.
Such an unparalleled beauty was favored by the Creator. She should have enjoyed the love and pursuit of others. But now, she ended up in such a fate. She was crushed into the mud. That was really a pity.
"Young Master, if you are interested, I can arrange it for you. In Chang 'an, I have a say in Chang' an." Zheng Cunjian observed Li Mu's expression. So, he cautiously tried to sound him out.
Li Mu shot him a look and snorted. Then, he said, "Go to pick up my mother first. That's the important thing."
Being stared at by Li Mu's eyes, Zheng Cunjian shuddered again. He hastily said, "Yes, yes, yes, I'm confused. Second Young Master is a filial son. And Old Lady has been waiting for you for years. Of course, you should go to meet her first. I was wrong.
Please forgive me, Young Master. "" Chang 'an is your territory. I know you have a lot on your mind. "Li Mu spurred the horse forward and said with a faint smile," If you want to inform that scumbag or use other forces to deal with me, you can try at any time. I don't care … Haha, as long as you are not afraid of death. "The scumbag he referred to was naturally Li Menglong, the magistrate of Chang' an.
"I dare not. Young Master, please don't misunderstand me." Zheng Cunjian was so scared that he hastily defended himself.
It was not that he did not want to, but he did not dare to.
Because before he left the government of Taibai County, Li Mu had planted a magic spell in his body, which was called the Life-and-Death Note. Li Mu had also demonstrated the power of the Life-and-Death Note to him. Of course, it was on his body. That feeling … Zheng Cunjian swore that he would rather be hacked into pieces than experience the pain when the Life-and-Death Note was activated again.
With the deterrence of the Life-and-Death Note, Zheng Cunjian had to temporarily give up the idea of dealing with Li Mu in Chang 'an.
After learning that Li Mu was also a horrifying magic cultivator, Zheng Cunjian's heart sank. He was well aware of the horrors of magic cultivators and their various mysterious curses that could kill people invisibly. Therefore, before he found a powerful warlock whose realm was higher than Li Mu's and removed the Life-and-Death Spell in his body, he decided not to act rashly.
Li Mu smiled and did not pay any more attention to him.
Zheng Cunjian led the way. The two of them rode at a moderate speed. After about an hour, they came to the entrance of an alley in the west block of Chang 'an.
"The Pig-Herding Alley?"
Li Mu saw the name of the alley on the stone wall.
It was a rare but vivid name.
It was a slum.
"Old Lady lives in the innermost yard of the alley," said Zheng Cunjian.
