Outside the tavern, the carriage dragging the huge iron cage rattled, and the cries of dozens of men and women were mixed inside.

Widdy glared at Tim angrily, and asked, "Where did you get these?"

Hearing this, Tim first glanced at Qiao Zhuo who was sitting behind the wine table with an indifferent expression, and after seeing that the other party didn't intend to speak, he replied to Widdie, "Where is it, sir, the regular army has been gaining momentum in the past two years, even if I don'tDare to be tricky, they were all sold out by their families."

Greedy businessmen cannot pry the truth out of their mouths.

Adrian smiled and glanced sideways at Qiao Zhuo. Even if Tim's people got on the ship, they were just doing some hard work, their lives were cheap, and they were old acquaintances who often cooperated with them.

But now that there is a lot of fighting at sea, Adrian is also thinking of admonishing him.

"Joe..."

But unexpectedly, Adrian was interrupted by Qiao Zhuo just as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Bring it here and have a look." Qiao Zhuo said suddenly.

Tim, who had been listening with drooping brows and eyes, smiled instantly, and trotted out of the tavern to open the iron cage.

Qiao Zhuo looked out of the dark door and thought quietly, the hero is staying in that group of people, so he has to buy this group of people.

Sure enough, when a group of men and women bound by chains entered the tavern, Qiao Zhuo's ear rang a system prompt.

"The male protagonist Yan Qing's career growth value +2."

As soon as a group of frightened people approached the wine table, they saw Phil lying on the ground covered in bruises, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Phil's neck and wrists were still wrapped with hemp rope. At this moment, it was like an abandoned lamb thrown on the floor at random, with wine stains falling around, looking very pitiful.

They saw Tim bowing his knees to Qiao Zhuo again, and they realized that they were going to be sold to this cruel and ruthless pirate almost instantly, and countless sobs sounded out one after another.

Qiao Zhuo's appearance is too dazzling, a pair of blue eyes are almost the same as the waves and storms in Northern Bania, even if he sits quietly in his seat without saying anything, everyone and everything around him will mention 2%Hundreds of vigilance.

Qiao Zhuo's knives and bullets never had eyes.

In the chaotic area of the Northern Bania Sea, which is not under the control of the regular army for the time being, Qiao Zhuo has actually established his own dynasty of the Red Lady, a dense forest system.

It's really chilling.

Adrian's inspecting and critical eyes swept across the row of men and women in front of him. After a few seconds, his eyes stopped, and the smile on his face disappeared. After thinking for a few seconds, he reluctantly said to Tim coldly: "Let him come over."

Adrian is Qiao Zhuo's capable subordinate. He knows what kind of man Qiao Zhuo likes, but the bunch in front of him are slaves, which are different from the clean ones he picked before, so he hesitates.

Tim quickly walked over and yanked the man named.

Qiao Zhuo turned his fingers expressionlessly. Although he was silent the whole time, Adrian could tell that Qiao Zhuo was in a good mood at the moment. It seemed that he had chosen the right person.

In this chaotic and dirty world, people and animals have long gone crazy for their livelihoods, so what's the difference between slaves.

The man walking out of the queue was wearing heavy shackles, his dirty black hair covered his eyebrows and eyes, but his shabby clothes clearly showed his explosive and tough muscles.

Whether it's the superior head and shoulders and long legs, or the sharp jaw line, they all accurately hit Qiao Zhuo's aesthetic point.

Adrian didn't ask any more questions after pointing out the person, but waited for Qiao Zhuo to speak.

The man stood there quietly, neither crying nor nervous.

This calmness aroused Wei Di's suspicion. He held the wine bottle and glanced around, trying to find flaws in the man's every move.

Yan Qing lowered his head silently, thinking that success or failure depends on one move, he must be selected by Qiao Zhuo to bring Mrs. Hong, otherwise the mission will fail before it starts.

But the more anxious you are, the more you must restrain yourself, so Yan Qing silently repeated in his heart: patience and calmness.

Qiao Zhuo's scar that went through the browbones and reached under the eyes added color to the wine smell, and the man's fair skin was set off like famous enamel under the dim light.

There was some interest in his eyes, but not much, Qiao Zhuo asked: "Do you want to follow me?"

As soon as these words came out, Adrian clenched his fists indifferently, and Wei Di's gaze on the side became more severe.

Yan Qing pretended to be surprised and raised his head lightly, then said in a trembling voice, "Sir... I, I am willing."

Slaves who are strong but a little silly are the easiest to buy. Tim squinted his eyes confidently and said: "Joe, he is the tallest and strongest in this group. You are a big customer. You only need five slaves."gold."

After the words fell, no one in the tavern spoke for a while, Tim frowned worriedly when he saw this, wondering if his price had been raised a bit high.

But these pirates never paid much attention to gold coins. Five gold coins were just bits and pieces that flowed from their fingers.

Qiao Zhuo didn't speak for a long time, and the atmosphere was stagnant. Not only the people in the tavern, but even the system couldn't help urging: "Host?"

Qiao Zhuo smiled and said, "What's the rush?"

So everyone in the tavern heard Qiao Zhuo lightly raised his hand and held down the revolver. The gun was pushed in Yan Qing's direction.

The aloof Northern Barnia King said coldly: "If you want to follow me, try this game."

"There's only one bullet in it." Qiao Zhuo's blue eyes seemed to be staring at the storm on the sea, and he said in a gloomy voice, "If you can stand in front of me alive, I'll buy you."

System: "..." Gan, why is it so familiar now? Could it be that the frog is boiled in warm water.

Yan Qing's physical condition is top-notch among slaves, Tim immediately said anxiously: "Joe, if the price is not suitable, we can talk about it later!"

Unexpectedly, Qiao Zhuo sneered, raised his hands and slowly made five, and bought Yan Qing's life like a god.

"Five hundred gold coins."

Five hundred gold coins?!

Tim was so excited that he almost fainted, and he couldn't say anything to refute. He almost couldn't wait to undo the shackles on Yan Qing's hands and feet, and pushed him closer to the wine table.

Wei Di and Adrian looked at each other silently.

Yan Qing staggered across Phil on the floor, at this moment, their situations were no different.

Sitting behind the wine table, the highest man of the dynasty nodded with an unchanged expression, extremely dignified and beautiful.

Before Yan Qing came here, he had seen Qiao Zhuo's photo, but he didn't expect the real person to be...

Yan Qing couldn't find a suitable adjective to describe the feeling Qiao Zhuo gave him, it was a kind of fear and excitement that made his soul shudder when he saw the other person.

Adrian and Wei Di sat on the sidelines watching the play, and they didn't expect Qiao Zhuo to make such a request.

But Adrian did not let down his vigilance. The exception proved that he was careful. Qiao Zhuo used to pay money to get people, but now there is an inexplicable link in the face of this slave, which is not a good sign.

Whatever it is that buys the other party does, it's not a good sign.

So Adrian secretly prayed while drinking, hoping that the revolver could kill the slave with a single shot.

Under everyone's gaze, Yan Qing stepped forward and awkwardly picked up the revolver.

The familiar weight and touch made Yan Qing immediately judge that there was more than one bullet in it.

What is being weighed in the hand is clearly a full magazine!

There are six bullets here, the game Qiao Zhuo said is impossible to play, he will die if he shoots it.

Cold sweat drenched Yan Qing's back, but he couldn't tell the truth. How could a slave who was robbed be able to judge the number of bullets in the revolver by the feel of his hand.

So under all kinds of eyes, Yan Qing slowly raised his pistol and pointed the gun at his temple.

The beating heart seemed to be able to jump out of the mouth in the next second. This antique revolver didn't even need to be loaded. Yan Qing had almost no time to hesitate, and his index finger was already on the trigger.

The smell of alcohol lingered in the tavern, the lights dangling overhead cast strange and mysterious shadows, the salty sea breeze blew in from outside the gate, and the Red Lady leaned against the port like a huge fortress.

The instigator, Shi Shiran, sat behind the wine table and slowly turned his fingers. Deep sea blue eyes were staring at Yan Qing with great interest, without any sign of stopping him.

Yan Qing's heart dropped little by little, and his palms were sweating.

Even though the system knew that Qiao Zhuo couldn't let the hero of the small world die, he couldn't help but feel worried at this moment, and said anxiously: "Host, you don't really want to kill the hero..."

Qiao Zhuo suddenly raised his index finger to his lips and hissed.

The sound of breathing in the tavern disappeared, along with the mechanical sound of the system in his head.

In front of the silent wine table, Yan Qing lowered his eyes and calmly soothed the leg muscles that had been squatting for a long time. If the mission really failed, he could only run away.

Suddenly, when the Red Lady broke through the waves, the words Tim murmured at the alleyway reawakened in Yan Qing's ears.

Big money can only be made at the moment of life and death.

Yan Qing's brows and eyes were covered by black hair, his index finger was bent, and the trigger was pulled slightly.

At the critical moment, time seems to be slowed down.

Adrian stared at Yan Qing with bent eyes, thinking, die, die.

Wei Di glared angrily, and the wine bottle in his hand deflated.

Phil's breathing at his feet gradually weakened, as if his life was dying.

And the man sitting behind the wine table with an indifferent attitude showed a trace of satisfaction in his eyes, two strands of golden brown hair fell on his forehead, and his handsome nose looked very ruthless.

Heart beat faster and faster.

When Yan Qing was about to run away, Qiao Zhuo suddenly smiled. He didn't seem to care about the scene in front of him at all, and only said to Adrian indifferently: "Take him down and wash him clean."

Yan Qing held the revolver in a daze, really dazed.

Adrian clicked his tongue and curled his lips helplessly, as if he was annoyed that Yan Qing was still alive.

Yan Qingju was still a little stiff when his arm was hanging down at the temple, he looked at Qiao Zhuo and asked in a hoarse voice: "Sir, can I follow you?"

Adrian took the revolver from Yan Qing's hand, and after finishing the business introduction, he said: "Boy, you are really lucky with your skin, follow Joe from now on."

Being a pirate on the Red Lady is a good thing that no one else can grab.

Adrian wanted to take Yan Qing away, but he didn't expect this man to stay where he was.

Yan Qing knew that there was a huge difference between being a coolie on a boat and being Qiao Zhuo's male companion, so he kept his jaw tight and remained silent.

Adrian's anger was finally provoked, what else could a slave think about.

He raised his foot and wanted to kick Yan Qing's abdomen but was stopped by Qiao Zhuo's cold voice.

Adrian and Wei Di looked at Qiao Zhuo in shock.

Perhaps Yan Qing's appearance really made Qiao Zhuo like him, only Qiao Zhuo said to Yan Qing lightly: "As a brother, I treat you as a human being, but as a bed partner..."

Qiao Zhuo didn't understand the second half of the sentence, but Yan Qing already understood.

Adrian and Wei Diqiqi frowned and lowered their eyes, and Yan Qing's answer was as expected by everyone.

So Qiao Zhuo put down the wine bottle, glanced at Yan Qing with those beautiful blue eyes for the first time, and said, "Let him come up after cleaning."
