My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 449
Bai Chuyi looked down at the turbulent waves below the cliff, his gray pupils looked indifferent.

In order to conceal the existence of this place, the Bai family did not hesitate to offend He Jin, so that their family was ruined.

However, after many years, the secret treasure that the family swore to protect was finally found.

Originally, she didn't want to show up.

As early as half a month ago, she discovered the traces of Liu Fan and Master Yan Niang.

In a small fishing village more than 20 miles away from here, she and her junior sister Shuangxi lived there for half a year, watching this place from afar.

Now she is the only one living in the Bai family, and she no longer cares about the ancestral precepts left by her ancestors back then.

The reason why I choose to live in seclusion here is actually to avoid Wei Cheng...

But for some reason, in the past few days, Bai Chuyi always felt uneasy, and often dreamed about his deceased relatives.

During her lunch break today, she had another nightmare. In the dream, a man covered in blood stood in the sea of ​​corpses and stared at her motionlessly. But instead of feeling afraid, she felt a feeling of kindness from this man. meaning.

Bai Chuyi, who suddenly woke up, was covered in cold sweat, and without hesitation, he took his junior sister and rushed here.

Fortunately, she came in time.

The hanging basket made temporarily by the dark guard can carry two people at a time. Bai Chuyi took his junior sister to the bottom of the cliff.

Xu Shu and Sima Yi have been waiting outside the cave for a long time.

Leaving aside the rest, they dare not be careless just because of Wei Cheng's fiancee status.

"Master?!" Shuangxi followed Bai Chuyi and exclaimed in surprise.

Bai Chuyi also found Yan Niang who was being guarded by the dark guards, and Yan Niang also found them, but she was so poisoned at this time that she didn't even have the strength to speak.

As for Liu Fan, it's already cold.

That hall is indeed strange, the dust hidden under the strong medicinal fragrance is extremely poisonous.

Seeing Yanniang's state, the little girl Shuangxi was a little at a loss, looked at her senior sister Bai Chuyi, as if asking if she wanted to save her master.

And Bai Chu looked at Yan Niang's eyes very indifferently. She already knew who the person who framed Bai Shi back then was. into the eye.

What makes Bai Chuyi hate Yan Niang the most is that after Yan Niang rescued her, she not only accepted her as a disciple, but on the surface treated her like her own daughter, but actually coveted her ability, coveted her that the Bai family has been guarding for more than 400 years hidden.

Admitting a thief as his mother, and even once treating her as the closest person in the world, every time Bai Chuyi thinks about it, he feels extremely uncomfortable.

At this time, seeing that Yan Niang's evil will be rewarded with evil, she should have been happy and laughing, but for some reason, she felt Qi Qiran in her heart.

"First day of the junior high school!" Yan Niang looked at Bai Chuyi who was condescendingly looking down at her, her eyes were full of longing for life.

Bai Chuyi took a deep breath, passed her blankly, walked up to Xu Shu, and said, "You can return the jade pendant to me."

Hearing this, Xu Shu hurriedly took out the jade pendant in his arms and handed it to Bai Chuyi.

Bai Chuyi took the jade pendant, glanced at the word [卫] on the jade pendant, and said in a deep voice: "You should go back and tell him that the longevity medicine will take six years to become a medicine. Taking the medicine too early is not worth the loss."

"Six years?" Sima Yi looked at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu looked at Bai Chuyi in front of him with some embarrassment. In fact, he was suspicious of this woman's identity.

He became even more suspicious when he heard that Bai Chuyi asked them to go back.

However, if you think about it carefully, this woman may not be lying, after all, even if he goes back, he will leave his hidden guards to guard the secret storehouse.

"Girl, you say you are Wei Jun's fiancée?" Xu Shu asked.

When Bai Chu heard the words, he looked at Xu Shu expressionlessly, his gray eyes did not show the slightest panic, and replied, "It used to be."

Seeing this, Xu Shu was probably sure, but he didn't know what happened to separate the girl from Wei Jun.

Sima Yi, who stood on the side, didn't care about the personal relationship of his children, he cared more about the longevity medicine.

"Why are you so sure that the longevity medicine will take another six years?" Sima Yi looked suspiciously at Bai Chuyi and Shuangxi.

Shuangxi looked at this young man who was younger than her, frowned and said, "What kind of look is that? My senior sister kindly reminded you, are you still afraid that we will deceive you?"

"Double Happiness." Bai Chuyi pulled his junior sister down.

Shuangxi pouted, "That's right."

Bai Chuyi shook his head, looked at Sima Yi, and said, "If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask the elders of the Wei clan."

Sima Yi glanced at Shuangxi, who looked unhappy, and said in a deep voice, "If you don't tell me, I will ask."

Bai Chuyi nodded slightly, not caring about Sima Yi's attitude, looking at Yan Niang to the side, and sighed softly.

Nightmare Niang thought she was going to save herself, and was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, Bai Chuyi directly pulled Shuangxi, and said to Xu Shu, "Please send us up."

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Miss, won't you go in and have a look?"

Bai Chuyi shook his head, "There's nothing to see...not everyone desires to live forever."

···
Luoyang, the capital of God.

Two fast horses galloped past on the driveway, attracting the attention of vendors and pedestrians on both sides of the road.

"Who is that, who dares to gallop in the imperial capital?"

"Shhh, don't talk nonsense, that's the dark guard, Lord Wei's eyes and ears all over the world."

"It looks like something important happened, and I don't know if it's good or bad."

"Who knows."

After entering the city on a fast horse, he came directly outside the gate of the imperial palace, and someone immediately stepped forward to meet him.

"Qingzhou urgent news, please trouble brother."

"You're welcome, let's go all the way, the two of you should go to the barracks and have a rest."

Not long after, the urgent mail was sent to Wei Cheng by the female guard. At this time, Wei Cheng was playing with his two sons in the study.

Hearing that it was an urgent message from Qingzhou, Wei Cheng immediately guessed that Xu Shu and Sima Yi had something to gain.

Handing the second treasure to the mother at the side, Wei Cheng took the sheepskin roll and slowly unfolded it.

After a while, Wei Cheng frowned and muttered, "Bai's daughter? Fiancee?"

Wei Cheng was at a loss, until he saw the news of the longevity medicine, he frowned slightly, "Six years to complete the medicine, is it true?"

···
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.

Xu Shu and Sima Yi finally returned to Luoyang,
The two immediately returned to the palace and gave a general description of Bai Chuyi's appearance.

Wei Cheng was stupefied, he had no impression of this so-called 'fiancée' at all, you know, he has no memory of merging with his original body after his soul passed through.

"It seems to be the fault of the predecessor." After listening to Xu Shu's narration, Wei Cheng also felt that Bai Chuyi had no need to lie.

If it's 'my' fiancée, then the elders in the family must know her.

Wei Cheng hesitated for a moment, and ordered someone to call his second uncle, Wei Min.

"What, the girl from the Bai family is not dead?" Wei Yan exclaimed, obviously knowing this girl, now Wei Cheng is really speechless.

"Second Uncle, is this Bai girl really my fiancée?" Wei Cheng frowned.

Wei Yan came back to his senses, looked at Wei Cheng with a puzzled face, frowned and said, "Don't you remember her?"

Wei Cheng was stunned.

Wei Yan sighed deeply, and said: "This matter has to start more than ten years ago... Ting'er, you should go to see her and make it clear in person. I, Wei, am sorry for Bai. We owe her."

···
Just like that, Wei Cheng set off again with Xu Shu and the two of them.

It's just the beginning of spring, the ice and snow have melted, and Wei Cheng doesn't want to stay in Luoyang all day, it's so boring.

It was Cai Yan and his daughters who were supposed to take them with them, but they did not die. Not to mention that Cai Yan was pregnant, Xie Yu and Hao Niang were also pregnant. Now Wei Cheng didn't dare to take them with him, so he had to Comfort them to stay in the palace and raise them.

On the contrary, Zhong Chan murmured that he wanted to have a private visit with Wei Cheng, but was rejected by Wei Cheng. He knew this girl very carefully, if he really brought it with him, she might eat her up on a dark and windy night.

This time when he went north to Qingzhou, Wei Cheng traveled lightly.

In addition to Xu Shu and Sima Yi, they also brought Dian Wei, Hao Zhao, and more than a dozen secret guards, disguised as a caravan.

Originally, Wei Gong also wanted to be lazy and go out to travel with Wei Cheng, but Wei Cheng refused, and let him accompany Jirimen well, and it is best to marry her into the door as soon as possible.

On this day, shortly after crossing the Yellow River, the convoy stopped in a bustling town.

Wei Cheng was dressed like a rich man, just when he appeared in the downtown area, he attracted many people to chat with him.

"Young Master, Young Master, come and take a look at my goods."

"These masters are not ordinary people at first sight. They must come to our Yushan Town to collect Hunu. Please come in. I just came here with a batch of good goods. They are all four or five-year-old children. I will take them back and train them for a few years. He is a good hand in guarding the home."

Wei Cheng looked in the direction of the shopkeeper, and saw outside a shop, more than a dozen children of four or five years old were tied to the pillars with iron chains, and the children curled up one by one, looking at those who treated them with fear. Pick and choose customers.

Wei Cheng couldn't help frowning slightly.

At this time, a middle-aged man stepped forward and lifted a child's arm like twisting a chicken.

The child didn't know whether it was frightened or hurt, so he screamed.

Wei Cheng's pupils were locked tightly, and he looked at the child's mouth... There was no tongue in it.

The middle-aged man threw the child on the ground like throwing trash, picked up another one, and then turned to the shopkeeper and asked, "This one is good, it's cheaper, I want this one."

Seeing that the shopkeeper was about to open, Pi Dian Dian went up to meet him.

"Yo, this kid can't be cheap. He is the strongest among the dozen or so boys. My master has good eyesight. 1000 two hundred Wen, this kid is yours."

"Expensive."

The two of them carried the child like a peddler and an old woman haggling in a butcher's shop. This situation made Wei Cheng, a traveler, a little uncomfortable.

He didn't have a maddened heart attack. He had originally agreed to buy and sell Hunu, but he didn't expect it to be so cruel.

Looking at the dozen or so children, Wei Cheng can be sure that they are not Han Chinese. As for which grassland tribe they are from, that remains to be seen.

However, business is business, why cut off their tongues cruelly?

Wei Cheng frowned slightly, and looked at the shopkeeper who was counting the money.

At this time, the shopkeeper took a bunch of copper coins, counted them, and cheerfully called the servant to untie the child.

As if sensing Wei Cheng's gaze, the shopkeeper hurried over.

Compared with other guests, Wei Cheng and his group looked extraordinary, so of course the shopkeeper had to treat them well.

"Young master, how about it? Is there anyone you like? If you buy a lot, it's okay for the old man to give you [-]% cheaper."

Wei Cheng frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Buying and selling Hunu is buying and selling Hunu, but why do you want to cut off their tongues?"

The shopkeeper was startled when he heard the words, and looked at Wei Cheng suspiciously.

If it hadn't been for Wei Cheng standing behind Dian Wei and Hao Zhao to be too attractive, it would be difficult to provoke them at first sight, and the shopkeeper almost rushed them away.

"My lord, I'm afraid you haven't bought Hu Nu before?" the shopkeeper asked back.

Wei Cheng frowned, and asked curiously: "Cutting out my tongue, what does it have to do with whether I bought Hu Nu?"

The shopkeeper smiled, looked at the children who were snuggled up and curled up together, and explained: "If you have bought them before, you will know that it is not a good thing for buyers to let them talk too much."

Wei Cheng frowned to express his confusion.

The shopkeeper patiently continued to explain: "Young master, if these Hu slaves can communicate with each other, after they are sold and raised for a few years, and then join forces to make trouble, wouldn't they raise a group of white-eyed wolves?"

Wei Cheng looked at the children on the ground and saw not only fear but also deep hatred in their indifferent expressions, he immediately understood the "good intentions" of the shopkeeper.

However, as a time traveler, Wei Teng still couldn't bear it.

But he wouldn't expect the Virgin to come, and use his identity to order the shopkeeper to release him.

"I see." Wei Cheng nodded slightly, sighed, and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Dian Wei and others followed suit.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper spat on the ground, secretly saying that it was bad luck.

···
The most luxurious inn in the town.

Standing on the balcony on the second floor, Wei Cheng watched the merchants coming and going on the street, especially the 'goods' behind them.

It turned out that this small town became prosperous by trading Hunu. Because of its special geographical location, merchants from south to north basically passed through this town.

Coupled with the attachment of several tribes of the Northern Huns, they not only brought a large number of cattle and sheep, but also slaves.

As I said before, the northern Xiongnu continued to fight among themselves, and the tribes also fought constantly, and the northern Xiongnu was a slave society. The slave trade was the same as the cattle and sheep trade, and it was the main source of income for the herdsmen.

For cattle and sheep, after taking down the Southern Huns before, the big Han didn't have much shortage of meat, so the nobles of the Northern Huns have been unable to open the market.

However, slaves are a production tool with a function far beyond that of cattle and horses.

After the nobles of the Northern Huns had eaten a few times of sweetness, they began to escort a large number of slaves from the northern plains to the south and sell them to Han traders.

This is also the main reason why there are so many people engaged in the slave trade, because there is a market.

Wei Cheng shook his head helplessly, looking at the merchants coming and going, he didn't know whether it was good or bad for him to condone the slave trade.

You know, the human heart is not satisfied.

Today they buy and sell Hu slaves, will they attack the people of the big man tomorrow?

Wei Cheng felt that it was necessary for him to take precautions early, otherwise he did not know how many happy families would fall apart because of his negligence.
