The immortal of the Tang Dynasty, but the game starts at Xuanwu Gate?

"Brother, that young lady is definitely not normal. She's probably stuffed something in her clothes. If you ask me, her figure is definitely not bad!"

Among the disaster victims, the youngest of the three brothers, Huang Laosan, said to his two older brothers.

Boss Huang glanced at Chen Sujin, looking quite annoyed. It was his underling who first saw through Chen Sujin's disguise. He had been holding back for so long, wanting to try something new, but he didn't expect this little vixen to be so stubborn, unwilling to submit even to death, and quite good at manipulating people.

Faced with so many disaster victims, they dared not go too far, lest they incur public wrath.

Old Huang thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Don't think about these things. We'll be in Chang'an soon. Let's not cause any trouble now. We can find another woman later. We won't make a difference if we don't have one more."

"Besides, she stinks terribly, and there's no water to wash her now; it's disgusting."

Huang Lao Er nodded in agreement: "That's right, Third Brother, why are you still thinking about her? What kind of woman can't you find in Chang'an? So what if she has a good figure? She might be incredibly ugly!"

"Don't worry about it."

Huang Laosan said with exasperation, "Brothers, why don't you understand?"

"We're practically penniless right now. Even if we get into Chang'an, what then? Even if the imperial court provides disaster relief, we'll only get a few bites to eat. We're guaranteed not to die, but we're not even sure if we'll have enough to eat."

"This young woman has such a great figure. If we sell her to a slave trader, we might get a lot of money. With money, would we still need to hang out with these starving ghosts?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Laoda and Huang Laoer's eyes lit up.

That makes sense!

Boss Huang pondered for a moment and said, "The problem is, how do we sell it? With so many people watching, if we forcibly take it, it might incite public outrage. Besides, what about that little brat with her?"

Huang Laosan scoffed, "Brother, I think you're overthinking it. Before, it was because we were far from Chang'an and everyone was on their way, so everyone was afraid of causing trouble, which is why they stood up for her. Now that we're almost at Chang'an, do you think anyone will still speak up for her?"

"As for that little brat next to her..." Old Huang glanced at Xiao He in Chen Sujin's arms and scoffed, "That little brat is skinny and too young to fetch a good price. Just ignore her."

Boss Huang: "..."

He originally asked what to do if the little brat caused trouble, but his younger brother was thinking that the little brat wouldn't fetch a good price.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. What can a little brat do to them?

"Big brother, let's do this..."

Seeing that his two older brothers were wavering, Huang Laosan pressed his advantage and whispered something in their ears.

"..."

Chen Sujin had been keeping an eye on the three people's movements. Seeing that they kept looking at her and her daughter and their gazes seemed strange, she quickly led her daughter to squeeze into a crowded area.

Unexpectedly, the three people stood up and walked straight towards the mother and daughter.

"What do you want to do?"

Chen Sujin held her daughter tightly and shouted loudly, hoping to attract the attention of those around her.

Unexpectedly, Huang Laosan said directly, "We're almost at Chang'an now, and this woman has survived the whole way thanks to exchanging grain with us. Now that I'm going to collect the debt from her, you don't still want to interfere, do you?"

One sentence made the person who was about to stand up frown, hesitate for a moment, and then sit back down.

So many men have died along the way, this mother and daughter are indeed suspicious; they might have made some kind of deal with someone.

This kind of thing is not uncommon; they've gotten used to it.

Besides, Huang Laosan emphasized that they were almost at Chang'an City as soon as he opened his mouth, and no one wanted to cause any more trouble.

Chen Sujin's eyes reddened with anger, her chest heaving: "You're talking nonsense! I have nothing to do with you. I survived entirely by digging for wild vegetables and gnawing on tree bark along the way. I haven't eaten a single thing from you, and I haven't made any of those bullshit deals with you."

Xiao He was terrified and huddled in Chen Sujin's arms, her small body trembling uncontrollably.

"No?" Old Huang snorted twice. "I've seen plenty of people like you. They're all just trying to survive. What's there to be ashamed of?"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you about this. You borrowed food from us three brothers before, and now that we're in Chang'an, I'm not interested in you anymore. Hurry up and return the food to us."

"Otherwise... I might have to take you to see the authorities!"

"I owe you nothing, and I've never borrowed food from you. Stop making baseless accusations." After saying this, Chen Sujin looked around at the many disaster victims and said, "Everyone, don't you all know what kind of people these three Huang brothers are?"

"Would they be so kind as to lend me food?"

"You say you didn't, and that's it?!" Old Huang roared, reaching out to grab Chen Sujin. "Since you say you didn't, then come with me to Chang'an City, and we'll report you to the authorities!"

"Let the authorities investigate thoroughly, so everyone can see what kind of woman you are!"

"Let me go!" Chen Sujin was both shocked and angry, struggling with all her might, but she couldn't break free no matter what she did.

She was starving and had little strength to begin with. Even if she did, how could she possibly break free from a grown man's grasp?

Chen Sujin had no choice but to face the crowd and plead tearfully, "I beg you all, I really don't owe them any food, and I haven't eaten any food myself. They are slandering me."

"Let go of my mother!" Xiao He was suddenly enraged and pounced on Huang Laosan, biting hard at his hand that was holding Chen Sujin.

"ah!!!"

"You little slut, you dare to bite me!" Huang Laosan was furious and slapped Xiaohe across the face.

"Snap—"

A crisp slap suddenly rang out. The child was already weak, and the slap made him feel dizzy instantly.

Huang Laosan didn't hold back at all; if Chen Sujin hadn't blocked it in time, Xiaohe would have been knocked unconscious.

"Xiao He!"

Watching her daughter being beaten in public, Chen Sujin went berserk and suddenly rammed her head into Huang Laosan's chest.

She was already very thin, but this time she used all her strength. Huang Laosan was caught off guard and staggered back two steps, and his hand holding her loosened.

"You son of a bitch, you dare to bump into me! Big brothers, second brothers, get her and take her to the authorities!"

Huang Laosan spat, and the three brothers immediately rushed forward and began to beat Chen Sujin.

"Mother...mother..."

"Xiao He, don't be afraid, Mom is here." Chen Sujin was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face, but she was powerless to resist and could only hold her daughter in her arms.

"My lords... we're almost at Chang'an, you'd better not go too far."

The elderly man, who was with his grandson, couldn't bear it and stepped forward to say something.

"Old man, she owes us grain, can't we ask her for it? What's it to you? Say one more word and I'll beat you up too!" Old Huang shouted angrily.

"Keep an eye on your grandson!"

The last sentence was a blatant threat.

The old man hesitated, but ultimately, considering his young grandson, he sighed softly and said nothing.

"Take her away! We must report her to the authorities today!"

"..."
