Two beauties with light veils danced on the stage, then retreated lightly backstage, and several young women in Roman costumes were pulled onto the stage again.
As soon as the two beauties arrived backstage, a stout and burly man greeted them, handed each of them a fat leather robe, and the two women took it and draped it on their bodies, and immediately tightened the leather robe with their arms, and looked carefully at their lips, which were already blue from the cold.
The fat slave owner did not come to power, and it was one of his stewards who tried to brag about how beautiful the slave girl was.
He leaned over to the two girls and said stupidly: "Two girls, with your beauty, you could have won the favor of the richest local magnates, but the conditions you put forward are that the caravans that travel far to the desert to the sandbanks are only a few batches a year, and the war is approaching, some desert merchants have canceled the trade to the sandbanks, and you are afraid that you will miss the opportunity to enjoy the glory if you continue like this."
Before he finished speaking, one of the girls said coldly: "Thank you for your kindness, I think we can always meet the right buyer, we will not change our original intention" The fat slave master stamped his foot heavily, and said, "What a stubborn girl, well, I have just heard that yesterday afternoon there was a group of merchants from the sandbank, and I went to talk to them, and perhaps one of them would be willing to buy you."
As soon as he said this, a steward led Dumb and hurriedly came: "Master, someone is willing to buy them, and they fully meet the requirements."
"What" The fat slave owner and the two girls looked at him with a look of surprise in their eyes.
Dumb pushed the steward aside, and said in an arrogant tone: "These two women, the posture is very mediocre, the figure is average, and the dancing is not very good, originally my master is not eye-catching, but after hearing about them, my master is very emotional about their affection and righteousness, so he is willing to do good deeds, and reluctantly buy them, how much do you bid, if it is too high, our lord" Before he finished speaking, a big hand reached out from behind his shoulder, pushing him aside, and a firm voice followed: "I will buy the two girls no matter how high they bid, and I will take you back to the sandbank as agreed and help you find your relatives" Xia Xun appeared, he stared at the two girls deeply, and there was uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.
Dumb slapped himself on the forehead and squatted to the ground in frustration.
He felt that this businessman was the stupidest person he had ever met in his life Dumb thought without tears: "Business, that's not how it is" Soon, Dumb's frustration turned to joy, because despite his employer's stupid words about buying no matter how much money he wanted, the price demanded by the two women was very fair, only a tenth of the price that the fat slave owner rushed to offer.
Dumb's eyes stared at the deed of sale for a moment, until the two girls pressed their handprints on the deed of sale, and he let out a long sigh of relief and glanced triumphantly at the frustrated slave owner.
Xia Xun took the two women and a fierce-looking Mongolian man back to the tavern, and then asked Dumb to take the slaves back to the inn first.
Dumb happily left with the few slaves he bought, and in the corner of the tavern, only Xia Xun, Liu Yujue and the man and two women remained.
As soon as Dumb left, the two women rushed to Xia Xun's side in a trembling voice, with endless joy: "Master, is it really you?"
Xia Xun was also very excited, for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and when he met again, that feeling was really indescribable, he nodded vigorously, and said continuously: "It's me, it's me, of course it's me, but the beard is not shaved, don't you recognize me?"
The two girls hugged Xia Xun's arm tightly and cried excitedly.
At this time, the stout and burly man had tears in his eyes, took two steps forward, and whispered to Xia Xun: "Guogong, we are still worried that there will be an accident in the Guogong, but we can't imagine that Guogong is not only safe, but we can also meet here."
This big man stands like a mountain, bows like a pine, and the obvious military movements, Xia Xun immediately swept around vigilantly, and said: "Sit down and say, it's inconvenient to be polite here, sit down."
Several people understood, and they all sat down around the wine table, Celine and Jeanne's hands still subconsciously clasped Xia Xun's arm, as if he would disappear as soon as he let go, Xia Xun's tavern shopkeeper served a few plates of side dishes with wine, and ordered a small barrel of grape wine, and then patted the back of Celine and Jeanne's hands comfortingly, and asked them: "Why did you end up here, Sail, but someone is watching" Celine and Jeanne's excitement was difficult to calm down for a while, and they were still a little sobbed, and the Mongolian big man sighed and replied on their behalf: "Guogong, that's it" It turned out that when Sehazhi protected Sirin and Jeanna to break through first, Xia Xun led twelve horsemen to stay behind and blocked for them, making them the first team to escape from the encirclement, but the Timur cavalry then broke into pieces and searched the desert.
Although the camels and horses of the Timurid cavalry were not as fast as they were riding, they could change horses when their mounts were tired, so the speed was not much different, and in the end, several cavalry squads met them by mistake.
They fought and walked, knowing that the direction of Hami must be the most important thing for the other side, but it was too far to return to the sandbank, and the only feasible way was to enter the great desert to the west, or to flee east to the Macong Mountain.
Initially, Saihazhi chose to flee east to Ma Chong Mountain, but because they broke through from the southwest corner, and Ma Chong Mountain was in the northeast direction, they had to turn back.
After a roundabout, the result was that he broke into the key search range of the Timur cavalry, and after several battles, Sehazhi's men and horses were seriously damaged, and he had to abandon the eastward march and go west instead.
To the west is the vast desert, and although it is difficult to survive inside, it is difficult for others to find them after escaping into it.
So they went back to the southwest.
As a result, when they were about to successfully enter the depths of the desert, they encountered a search party of hundreds of enemy cavalry, this time, they were almost all killed on the spot, at the critical moment, a team of their own people happened to break through, and when they saw that the two sides were fighting, this sudden force of men and horses immediately entered the battle, killing the Timur people by surprise, and they were able to escape.
Xia Xun couldn't help but be very excited when he heard Sehazhi mention the name of the other group, because what Sehazhi said was precisely for Chen Dong, Ye An and Lao Peng, who were separated from him after the break.
Xia Xun always thought that they were more than lucky.
Sehazhi said that when Chen Dong and the others appeared, they were already scarred, and after they were separated from Xia Xun, they disturbed some fleeing soldiers along the way, but they gathered together but got lost, and were struggling in the desert, and happened to run into Sehazhi's team that was bitten by the enemy and couldn't get out.
After they entered the battle, they successfully rescued several women such as Sirin and Jeanne, but in order to block the enemy's pursuers, they had to use the tail breaking tactic again, led by Lao Peng to break the tired soldiers, while Saihazhi, Chen Dong, and Ye An escorted several women and fled into the desert.
Xia Xun said excitedly: "In this way, Chen Dong and Ye An are also alive."
Sehazhi said: "Yes, but they are seriously injured, and they have not been treated in the desert, and now they are recuperating from their injuries, so they have not been asked to show their heads." ” Xia Xun said: "Then how did you escape here?"
Sehazhi smiled bitterly: "Guogong, the geography of the Western Regions, the last general is not familiar with it, after escaping into the desert, in order to avoid the pursuers, we fled all the way to the west, regardless of anything, just fled all the way, and then gradually began to appear in front of the wall and small oases, we met some herdsmen, speaking the hometown dialect of Celine and Jeanne, after Siline went to ask them, we knew that we had escaped to Beshibali." ” "However, we escaped by mistake, and when we fled here, we were already dead, and even we didn't know how we managed to break through and survive, and then let us walk back in the same way, it was simply impossible, not to mention that when we finally escaped from the desert, our camels were already exhausted to death, and we were already penniless, more embarrassed than a group of people called Hanako."
Saihazhi took a long breath, and said: "At this time, thanks to Sai'er's little girl, her little hands are really powerful, and she is unpredictable, and she has taken out a few purses, so we have the money to eat in the hotel and the need to treat Chen Dong and Ye An's injuries, but we have to rely on Sai'er to steal a caravan, so that it is impossible to return to the sandbank after all, and we have to make this decision."
When Xia Xun heard this, he looked at Celine and Jeanne deeply, and was very moved in his heart.
These two girls have been sold countless times, and they have been used by the powerful again and again as a stepping stone to flatter higher magnates, or used by the magnates to buy people's hearts, and when they finally fell into their own hands, it was only because of their pity that they became dancers and musicians in the house.
In the past few years, they have been like weeds under the roots of the wall in the courtyard of the West Wing in their own house, they have never been ignorant and left to their own devices, if it were not for Xuanfu Western Regions, I accidentally thought that they would be useful, I am afraid that they will be haggard and red, white and green, and just like the ignorant grass and trees, they will end this life alone.
Who really cared about them, but they brought them out and brought them into a desperate situation, but they had no regrets, and they tried their best to go back, to fulfill his entrustment, how rare it was.
Yes, this place is not livable, but for beauties like them, there is absolutely no place that is not livable, as long as they want, they can immediately enter and exit the wealthy family, and they will be clothed and fed.
They are just two dancing girls in their own house, and what they gave them is just a mouthful of food, which is not worthy of their reciprocation Xia Xun involuntarily stretched out his hand and gently held their wrists.
Since Zhu Gaoxu transferred them to himself, this is the first time that Xia Xun has taken the initiative to show them To be continued:
