Before visiting the palace and finding Princess Lailan, Qing Mao chose to go to the slave market to find the right person. Hyou led him there.
The slave market was quite far from the borders of the country. It is still part of the Quentian State. There is a small hidden valley. Several transactions have been made there during this time.
Qing Mao wore a black robe with a hood. He also wears a mask to disguise his identity. Except for Hyou who looks familiar with this.
While walking down the road around the valley, many sellers tie their wares with rope or chain. Not even reluctant to hit the slaves who were crying and disobedient.
The one who sells slaves turns out to be quite a lot. They are victims of violence, accusation or kidnapping. Hyou had no interest in choosing those skinny slaves. So he immediately took Qing Mao even deeper. There is a pretty unique place. Besides being somewhat closed, the location is also a little creepy.
Qing Mao could sense a powerful killing aura here. When he reached the artificial cave door, two burly guards confronted them with a fierce gaze.
Since Hyou was the guardian of the green jade ring, it was very easy for her to ask them to open the door. There are transactions that will be made with their boss. Without hesitation, the two guards immediately led them to meet the boss.
The boss graciously welcomed the two special guests who had come. Qing Mao's appearance might be mysterious, but her aura felt suffocating. It is not easy to provoke.
The boss took them to some simple wards prepared. Many slaves were well chained so as not to easily escape.
The girl immediately looked around and looked for the right person. Hyou just accompanied him. The decision is in the hands of the girl. Unexpectedly, one of the slaves who managed to break into the bars immediately pounced on Qing Mao from the side. Still a big-bodied guy, kind of crazy.
Just glancing at him casually, Qing Mao did not feel any threat at all. When the prisoner almost hit him, he already grabbed the burly hand and slammed it easily. Hyou also experienced a surprise. Let alone the boss in charge there, a little depressed.
Clearly she was just a young girl without looking strong, yet was actually very powerful. The man who almost pounced on him was still a former soldier who had committed many serial murders. His mental state is also not good. Qing Mao snorted. In the end, the crazy man was brought back.
On the other hand, a man in shabby and tattered clothes noticed from the cell, not far from there. His hands and feet were chained up, it seemed like it had been a long time. When he saw what Qing Mao was doing, he had an incredible surprise. This is the kind of person who deserves to be his master.
“Have you come to look for a guard?” The man suddenly made a sound.
Qing Mao stopped her steps and looked at the shabby man. Eyes squinting. It seemed that the man did not look like an ordinary person. The body may be strapping and have muscles, only there are scars on the face, around the eye area. Like a knife or sword incision.
“I'm looking for some people I trained to be a secret keeper.” Qing Mao did not hide it. This guy caught his attention. And a long-established killing aura.
“I can be yours!” The man decided without much thought.
“Oh, what's in it for me?” She smiles. Want to know how far the man was serious about following her.
Before the shabby man replied, the boss immediately interrupted him. “Nona, this man is a victim of betrayal from the previous dynasty. And we know he's the imperial secret guard. In addition to that, his martial ability was removed.”
“I bought it.” Qing Mao suddenly decided.
“Nona, what ... is Miss sure?”
“Is there a problem with money?” He glanced at the slightly reluctant boss. Since that person had become useless in strength, what was the point of having a selling point.
But the boss certainly attach importance to his business to make a profit. He no longer cared about the condition of the slaves that became the waste. Since Qing Mao wanted to buy it, then the boss directly negotiated the price.
After doing the deal, Hyou let the shabby man change his clothes and clean himself well.
There were several men and women that Qing Mao had bought. Of course after he saw that those people would not dare to betray him. After that, he returned home. There were ten people he had bought from the slave market. The man in shabby clothes earlier was clearly the most conspicuous.
The ten slaves that had just been bought were kneeling in the basement. Qing Mao took a chair and sat down to pay attention to them. Hyou gave him a body-warming drink. After a while, he finally hated this silence.
Now, it had already changed into more decent clothes. If the incision wound on his face does not imprint, it will definitely have unique facial features.
“Fan Chen.” The man replied in a cold voice. This has become his habit in carrying out tasks.
“From now on, you will lead four people behind," said Qing Mao already determined the position.
“Ya.”
Today Qing Mao bought five male and female slaves. They will all become his secret guards, carrying out important missions and also more than just dark guards.
For that, he had to train them in order to become more skilled. The light from the lanterns hanging in every corner of the basement made the faces of the ten people look heroic.
Then Qing Mao stared at one of the women who was thought to be two-headed. The woman has hair tied to a ponytail and a butterfly tattoo on her left arm.
“What's your name?”
The woman was initially surprised, then turned into a bashful. “My name, Dong Mei.”
“You led four people behind. Can?”
“Ya!” Naturally Dong Mei was willing.
He will be the new master's secret guard. Rather than living a miserable life in the slave market, he would rather be a servant. Even if it has a low level. But I didn't know his fate would be better.
Previously, those ten slaves had good martial skills. They were all victims of the betrayal of the previous master. And martial arts skills were eliminated.
In order to get them back to training, Qing Mao had already arranged a medicine that would recover internal damage. But it takes a good time to give it.
So, those ten people will temporarily only be given direction by Hyou. Today, let them familiarize themselves with the environment and their respective bodies.
Qing Mao returned to her room to prepare some necessities. In addition to providing vitamins, she also has some herbal plants to restore the body.
Before long, the dark guards came to report if King Yi, Gu Yihao was poisoned. The notch bottle Qing Mao was holding almost slipped.
Why would he still care about the news of the man who humiliated him in the past? Is it because of the scientific reaction of the life history provided by the green jade ring?
“There's another news?” tanyakanya.
“Today, the crown prince is engaged to Miss Qingge. There is news circulating in the community if King Yi accidentally drank poison to attract the attention of Miss Qingge,” replied the dark guard was easy.
Intentionally taking poison? Qing Mao sneered.
Gu Yihao would not do such a ridiculous thing. He knew that in the memory of his past life, that cold and cruel-faced figure had always been ambush with his life.
Where it might put a woman in the eye. So it seemed, this crown prince only wanted to humiliate Gu Yihao all-out.
Qing Mao kept the bottle filled with medicinal liquid, then walked over to the nightstand. Hyou once gave the crown prince's curriculum vitae file to him. That said, this Hyou was able to steal a lot of one's secret data through the ability of the green jade ring.
Then, he started taking blank papers and writing something ....
