Chapter 384 The Actors Are in Place

Holding Wu Juanjuan in his arms, the prince's messenger Gu You and his two younger brothers left the auction house with Qi Langhai's apologetic smile.

Following Gu You and the other two, they walked out together. When they were far enough away from the auction house, Wu Juanjuan blushed and whispered to Gu You: "Let go."

"Oh."

Gu You didn't do it voluntarily. If it wasn't for bringing Wu Juanjuan, who was still a good person, out safely and giving the Qi family some wrong information, he wouldn't want to change his job to become a playboy.

Seeing Gu You take his hand away without saying a word, Wu Juanjuan felt a little empty in her heart. But she was well-informed and quickly sorted out her mood and bowed deeply to Gu You solemnly.

"Thank you for saving me."

It's "saving" instead of "bringing", because for the auction house, whether they are young girls responsible for welcoming guests or other male staff, they are actually no different from slaves.

As long as they still live in Haibin City, as long as they are still within the sphere of influence of the Qi family, even if they become soul masters, as long as they are not talented enough, they must serve the Qi family.

Without exception.

Gu You smiled, as if he didn't notice anything wrong, and turned to Ma Hongjun and ordered: "Fatty, you are responsible for sending her home."

".Yes." Ma Hongjun nodded slowly, followed Wu Juanjuan and Gu You Oscar to go their separate ways. One went back to the hotel, and the other went straight to the darkest area of ​​Haibin City.

It was the darkest corner of Haibin City, with the worst housing conditions and the most unsanitary environment, forming a refuge for the poor.

They were silent all the way, and strange sounds came from the darkness on both sides of the road from time to time, and all kinds of incomprehensible eyes and sights were projected on Ma Hongjun.

However, when they turned their sights and saw that the person who brought him in was Wu Juanjuan, the people hiding in the darkness closed their eyes at the same time, and all treated it as nothing happened.

Wu Juanjuan is a good child, and there is no need to worry about the people she brought.

Looking at the back in front of him that can be described as enchanting, and realizing that her ease was not fake, Ma Hongjun hesitated to speak.

'Why? '

Why, with your appearance, you are qualified to live in a better place, but you are willing to live in the deepest part of the slum.

Why, when the Empire strictly prohibits the slave trade, you are watching the masked guys in the auction hall talking and laughing loudly.

Even with a mask, the man named Qi Tao has a sense of existence that belongs to him alone.

After all, he is probably the only one in the whole Seaside City who can tell dirty jokes while sitting in the red area that symbolizes status.

Ma Hongjun still remembers that 31 female slaves came on stage one after another, and more than half of them were bought by Qi Tao after he saw them at first sight. And he would go backstage as soon as he bought them, and he didn't know what he was doing.

No, Ma Hongjun actually knew it very well. Flower Tiger Dai Mubai was once his classmate, how could he not know why men look for women.

He has too many doubts in his heart now, and he urgently needs someone to answer them.

"You"

"You"

Wu Juanjuan suddenly turned her head and spoke at the same time as Ma Hongjun. Seeing Ma Hongjun's embarrassed expression, she chuckled and said, "You go first."

"Okay." Ma Hongjun nodded and asked the question he had been curious about: "Is the auction always like that?"

Wu Juanjuan's eyes flashed with understanding, and she nodded calmly.

Seeing her usual expression, Ma Hongjun felt a nameless fire of anger in his heart. He said in a deep voice: "But the Tiandou Empire has expressly prohibited the slave trade."

"Yes, so what."

"The Empire's army, will they come to save this place?"

"Or, destroy this place?"

Ma Hongjun opened his mouth and couldn't say a word. The cruel truth was like a basin of cold water, which directly extinguished the anger in his heart.

Save? How to save? Who will save?

The Empire's army?

Don't be silly, if the emperor's order is useful, the first place the Empire's army will flatten is not the Haibin City Auction House, but the Tiandou City Auction House.

Anyone familiar with the national conditions of Tiandou knows that as the theoretical supreme commander of the empire, the emperors of Tiandou and even the entire Tiandou royal family are not powerful rulers.

It is not that they are keen on returning power to the people and are unwilling to hold power. But in the world of extraordinary power, the foundation of power comes from strength, and the foundation of strength comes from talent.

With the little talent of the Xue family, if they could raise a Titled Douluo, they would not be split into two empires, Tianhun and Douling, ten thousand years later.

So under the premise of insufficient strength, the emperors of the Xue family successfully secured the position of the supreme ruler of the empire by balancing the interests of all parties, and now they have complete control over Tiandou City and the surrounding areas before their combat power has expanded.

It sounds a bit like the third leader of a village. Because of insufficient strength, it is difficult to convince the public, so they can only keep cutting the village and split the top hand cards that can win four games.

In the end, it becomes a one-for-one exchange with the poor relatives next door who live in the desert.

If the one-for-one exchange is not for the person who is mentally ill, and the protagonist's halo is too powerful, it is estimated that he will die with regrets in the end, and he will not even have the opportunity to leave a famous saying in the village.

Facing such a weak ruler, any city-state with a little strength will find it difficult to respect the royal family.

No higher than level 70, it will really give others the illusion that "I can do it too".

If the Tiandou Empire loses the help of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect one day, it will surely split and perish in the civil strife.

Therefore, those cities that are very far away from Tiandou City can almost be said to be a country within a country as long as there are strong enough families there.

It nominally belongs to the Tiandou Empire and will obey the empire's instructions, but it still retains great autonomy internally, making it difficult for the empire to reach in.

The emperor may be dissatisfied, but as long as he pays enough protection fees and taxes every year, who cares what the city is like now.

Either the ball held was not fun, or the aristocratic lady with a charming smile was not pretty.

It was precisely because he had figured out all this that Ma Hongjun could not say words of assurance lightly.

Wu Juanjuan stood on tiptoes and turned in a circle gracefully. Even in the dim slums, the moonlight cast from the sky illuminated the flying skirt, making it incredibly beautiful.

"Am I pretty?"

"Beautiful." Ma Hongjun nodded seriously, trying to appreciate Wu Juanjuan's dancing with his own poor aesthetic.

This version of Ma Hongjun is not a womanizer, but he also has eyes for discovering beauty. He can pat his chest and guarantee that Wu Juanjuan can be ranked in the middle of the Tiandou Royal Academy.

Don't underestimate the mid-level level of Tiandou Royal Academy. As a noble and a soul master, there are many ways to improve one's appearance.

After turning around several times in a row, Wu Juanjuan's forehead became slightly sweaty. She smiled and said to Ma Hongjun: "Little brother, although I am just an ordinary person, I have met all kinds of people in the auction house, and I can more or less read your thoughts."

"You think I should leave here and live a better life, right?"

Ma Hongjun nodded.

"You are still too young."

Wu Juanjuan chuckled. She saw it clearly in the supervisor's office just now. As long as the item on the stage is a slave, the anger in Ma Hongjun's heart will appear undisguised on his face.

If Gu You hadn't been using various means to scare Qi Langhai, he probably would have been focused on by Qi Langhai.

"Usually learn more from His Highness the Prince's envoy and don't reveal your thoughts to others."

Reminding Ma Hongjun, Wu Juanjuan said: "You have a family who loves you, a teacher who cares about you, and classmates who care about you. But you have to know that this world is not that simple."

"Happiness and justice are not things that fall from the sky. Everyone has their own concerns."

Speaking of this, Wu Juanjuan lowered her eyes.

She once had a happy family, but it was a pity that her father disappeared in the storm, and her mother became seriously ill because she missed her father too much. The burden of the family all fell on her thin shoulders.

She is now trying her best to maintain her status as a civilian.

Her mother is her last relative, so she cannot give up saving her mother. At the same time, she did not dare to slack off. Once she slacked off, the family would definitely fall below the bottom line, and she and her sick mother would become slaves who were not even human beings.

Stopping in front of a dilapidated door, Wu Juanjuan said softly: "Thank you for sending me back. Please also express my gratitude to that adult on my behalf. I will remember his kindness in my heart."

Hearing the faint sound of coughing in the house, Ma Hongjun, who understood Wu Juanjuan's concerns, closed his mouth.

".Um."

He took the initiative to extend his right hand, and upon seeing this, Wu Juanjuan also took the initiative to extend her right hand. After shaking his hands hard, Ma Hongjun said no more and turned to leave the slum.

"goodbye."

Cinderella's magic disappeared at twelve o'clock on time, and she whispered her final farewell to her retreating figure. Wu Juanjuan opened the door and said, "Mom, I'm back."

"Ahem, welcome back."

The mother lying on the bed was keenly aware that her daughter was no longer as gloomy as before, and asked, "What good things happened to her today?"

Looking down at the two extra gold soul coins in her palm, Wu Juanjuan smiled and said, "Well, mom, I made three new friends."

If it were the three of them, it wouldn't matter if they called themselves friends.

"Really?" Mother smiled happily: "That's great."

"Um."

By the time Ma Hongjun returned to the hotel, it was already very late. I wanted to ask Gu You some questions, but I didn't want to disturb his rest. After thinking about it, I went back to the room to take a shower and sleep.

In the coastal city late at night, except for the city lord's palace, the spirit fighting arena and the auction house, which were still brightly lit, the rest of the city had fallen into darkness like a slum.

In the city lord's palace, Qi Langhai told his eldest brother, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, everything that happened in the auction house in detail, and let him decide how the Qi family would face Gu You, the prince's messenger.

"The token of the Xue family, the envoy of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Qi Xiaofeng, the head of the Qi family and the lord of Coastal City, who was similar in stature to Qi Langhai but had a much more straight-faced appearance, fell into deep thought.

Because of the long journey, the Qi family did not have a complete grasp of what happened in Tiandou City. However, with his intelligence and intelligence, he can probably analyze what kind of person "Xue Qinghe" is based on the information he currently knows.

The former moderate conservatives showed their true colors for the first time when Haotian Douluo caused riots in the city, and showed their true colors as radicals. They pulled the incompetent Xue Ye off the throne and sat on it himself.

"I never expected that our Qi family, living in a corner, would be lucky enough to appear on Emperor Xue Qinghe's list."

"Brother?"

Qi Xiaofeng's words made Qi Langhai's face turn pale instantly, and various horrific scenes flashed through his mind, showing a look of horror.

List? What list? Liquidation list?

In other words, one day in the future our little Qi family will have a head-on collision with that monster Gelong?

"calm down."

Qi Xiaofeng, who knew his brother's character well, was speechless. He said helplessly: "It's not the kind of list you think, but the list of nobles that he thinks can be won over."

The first priority for the new emperor who defeated Xue Ye and seized power is naturally to build his own team in order to better control the empire.

The nobles in Tiandou City who are now well-known are basically related to Xue Ye. From his point of view, in order to compete with him, Xue Qinghe must win over the nobles outside Tiandou City.

The young strong man in Qi Langhai's mouth should be the scout ordered by Xue Qinghe to investigate the Qi family. As long as he is satisfied, the Qi family may have a place in Tiandou City.

I heard that the Li family, which has a thousand connections with the Haotian Sect, has been ordered by Xue Qinghe to be wiped out. That empty clan land looks very suitable for the Qi family's flag.

"Langhai, you did a great job."

It was rare for him to praise his useless brother, so Qi Xiaofeng ordered: "Since he likes women, go back and pick out 20 virgins that no one has used and send them over."

"Remember, each of them must have their own style, and don't just fill in the numbers."

Gu You's disguise really worked, and the head of the Qi family who had controlled Haibin City for many years also had the illusion that he was an old pervert.

Luckily, there is no cosplay in Douluo Continent, otherwise, if he cosplayed as a black magic girl, the big sister of Baiyin City, and other girl cards other than mermaids, which duel king could resist it.

In addition, Qi Xiaofeng also ordered: "Then prepare a soul guide with 200,000 gold soul coins, and two martial soul cards with 100,000 gold soul coins each and send them over."

"Hurry up."

As long as he is a man, he will always like one of money, power, and sex. The Qi family can't give power, so money and sex are used together to ensure that the envoy will be obedient.

"This"

Qi Langhai hesitated a little, and Qi Xiaofeng roared: "Don't think I don't know what you did, go and get ready!"

"Let that rebellious son get up from the bed quickly and tell him that I have a task for him."

"And you," Qi Xiaofeng ordered the guards at the door: "The family's honor cannot be lost. If she is not taken away, you know what to do."

The guard nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

At the same time, Gu You, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, walked out of the room lightly, and then climbed onto the roof with his hands and feet.

Looking in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, Gu You touched his chin and said with interest: "There should be no soul bones. Let me guess, beauties and money?"

". Nonsense."

Nightingale, who had been waiting here for a long time, rolled her eyes and wanted to sigh, but she couldn't slack off during work hours, so she held back her breath.

"Protect her, she is the most important key to transformation."

"Yes."

Nightingale disappeared instantly after receiving the order, and Dugu Bo, who was standing behind and watching everything silently, sighed.

"Gu You, you can."

"Of course I can, old poison."

Interrupting Dugu Bo's words, Gu You's eyes staring at the City Lord's Mansion turned into golden vertical pupils from unknown time.

"The stage is ready, even the lowest feces can also be used as compost, isn't it."
