When the restaurant owner hurried over after hearing the news, Gu Pingyan was already sitting on the chair like a lord. The slaves had already finished their meal and were standing in a line by the wall. The waiter was clearing the table.
Before the boss could open his mouth, Gu Danyan had already slapped a silver note on the table and sneered: "Are you enough to buy these slaves?"
When he saw the amount on the banknote, the boss was delighted, but he didn't dare to agree to it during wartime. He could only carefully look at her and curiously asked: "Customer, how do you fancy my slave? The slaves outside are much cheaper …"
"The slaves outside are all thin and skinny. Only the slaves in your restaurant have two taels of meat on their arms. If you don't want to buy them, who else can you buy?" Gu Danyan stood up with a smile, and placed his hand on the boss's shoulder: "I still need to find some stronger slaves. If the boss can find me a few, it would be pretty good."
"What are you trying to do …"
"Of course it's to help carry things. It's my first time here and I'm unfamiliar with the place. I was going to recruit a few hard laborers, but after counting the silver, I still don't have these slaves." Gu Danyan rubbed his chin, waved his hand and continued: "This waiter of yours is quite smart. Name a price and sell it to me."
When the owner saw where the silver was going to move, he just wanted to collect the silver and report back to the army. He casually found the shackles and tied the slaves on his wrists, and lined up behind her, while the waiter pulled the shackles.
It was not strange that people came and went along the road.
When the group of people were brought to the inn, the ghost who had just landed directly spat out a mouthful of water. The slaves occupied a whole room, and all of them looked strangely at Gu Daiyan.
Gu Daiyan handed over the key for the waiter to unlock the shackles, while he said to the ghost in a soft voice, "These slaves can be used for war. Wouldn't it be better if they worked with each other from the inside out?"
"Aren't you afraid that they might have traitors?" Phantom Demon quickly pulled her over and saw the elderly young man staring at him. He raised his eyes and the young man unwillingly retracted them.
The waitress also turned her head around, "What exactly do you want us to do?"
"Do any of your families still have families that are slaves?" Gu Daiyan dragged the ghost down and sat down.
Many of the slaves nodded, but a few older ones said, "I can't say. My brother is in the army, if he knows that I've told him about the family situation, then he can't stay in the army anymore."
As soon as he finished, Gu Danyan slammed the cup in his hands onto the table: "What brother is this! If he really is your big brother, will he let you all lie on the ground and clean his shoes after entering the army? "
The few slaves' eyes darkened, not daring to speak. The oldest youth stepped forward: "What do you know, we are all family, we are suffering, he can..."
Jiang Yan's slavery has been there for hundreds of years, but no one has ever overturned it. It's precisely because your elder brothers don't care about their families and just keep climbing upwards. I've read about Jiang Yan's history, so why is it that none of your elder brothers and ancestors are willing to speak up for you in the imperial court? Gu Danyan stood up, grabbed the female slave and pulled her to his side, pulling her wrist in front of him: "You guys have suffered so much to be Jiang Yan's deathsworn, but your brothers and sisters stepped on your corpse and ascended to the upper echelons, then went to exploit your next generation, is this family?"
The slaves fell silent, and the young man's shoulders fell. "But these have been hundreds of years. We are only slaves …"
"Before you become a slave, you are a human being." As Gu Liuyan spoke, he took out a few medicine bottles from his pocket and threw them into the waiter's hands, "Clean up all the wounds on their bodies, then come over and take each of their pulse. Tonight, I will bring you guys away, I still need your help in the future."
The few of them were almost intimidated by Gu Liuyan's quick manner of throwing a tantrum, as it had been a long time since the ghost had seen such a powerful person. He only called the two frightened female slaves over and fed them oranges while asking Gu Yan: "You really want to take them away?"
"You guys take him, I'll lure him away when the time comes." Gu Danyan also took a piece of orange and put it into the man's mouth. She didn't forget to say, "Look at how weak you are. If this goes on, you won't live until you're 40."
Hearing this, the slaves were all stunned.
At night, Ping Chuan also came back. She was startled by the number of slaves sitting on the floor hugging their knees, and then naturally sat down to discuss the situation between Yu Zhu and the other girl. She even said lightly, "She follows her master and likes to pick people."
At this moment, Gu Liuyan was helping them clean their hands and feet behind the screen.
"No master has ever been so kind to us." The girl said softly, her eyes turning red. "I am very cold every day. I don't have hot water either."
Gu Danyan lightly patted her forehead: "Silly girl, you have to tell me when it hurts when you're cold."
"Right." The little girl blushed.
Ping Chuan shook his head expressionlessly and patted ghost's shoulder: "This point will follow master. I'm afraid there will be many rotten peach blossoms in the future."
"A girl counts?" The ghost was surprised.
However, Ping Chuan nodded his head seriously. He waited until Gu Pingyan had settled the matter and then went to get a room with the Lady Boss. Only then did the few of them start talking about business.
"If these slaves are truly willing to cause chaos, then we have a chance." Gu Liuyan said in a low voice, he had already written down his detailed plan to the ghost: "Jade beads have been sent back to the building, and the matter of me buying slaves must have alarmed the army. When the time comes, I will pretend to be someone who sells weapons to discuss in detail with them, then I will bring Jade beads and that girl …"
"The girl committed suicide because she was afraid of being exposed." Spook suddenly opened his mouth.
Gu Liuyan's words stuck in his throat. After a moment of silence, he continued: "Then I will keep the jade beads by my side, I still need to stay here for a period of time. If I really send the weapons over, I will secretly give some to those slaves, so I will not leave for now."
"This is too dangerous, this is different from what we previously said." Ping Chuan was the first to refuse: "If His Highness takes down two cities, then this place will become an important military place. If you're a weapon merchant, then they will definitely take you under their noses. If they expose you …"
"I won't be exposed, I still have a master behind me." Gu Danyan thought for a while and said, "I've thought about it. If things get out of hand, then I'll just say that I'm the daughter of Emperor Dan and that my father didn't use it for free."
There was a long silence.
Ping Chuan took two deep breaths, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Master will definitely hit you."
"Then I'll go to Aldan and find my father." Gu Danyan also held his head up high and said: "I am a woman, I can't watch these slaves suffer."
