The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

This is a stall selling slaves. Several ragged women are huddled on the ground, shivering.

A fat and big-eared slave trader was threatening them with a whip.

"You bitches, if you keep crying, I'll beat you to death!"

The fat man waved the whip and said

Seeing this, Ning Quan frowned slightly.

The slave trade was booming in the Arab world, so it was not surprising that people were selling slaves, and Ning Quan didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

But the female slaves in front of him were all Han people, so Ning Quan felt uncomfortable.

Ning Quan was thinking about whether to buy them.

"What's the price for these female slaves? I'll buy them."

Just then, a voice suddenly came.

Then, a group of people came up, surrounding a young man.

"Sir, please take a look at these female slaves. They are all good-looking and are all virgins. If you let them serve you, they will definitely satisfy you."

Seeing this, the slave trader smiled flatteringly.

"So much nonsense! Ask them how much they want to sell it for. Is five hundred taels enough?" the young man said impatiently.

“That’s enough.”

The fat slave bowed and nodded.

“Give him the money.”

The young man waved.

"Yes, son."

A butler-like man beside him quickly took out five silver notes from his pocket and handed them over.

The fat slave took the banknote and a smile immediately broke out on his face. He quickly pushed the female slaves out and gave the indentures to the housekeeper.

"Come with me, don't worry, I'm Han Chinese and I won't mistreat you."

The young man said lightly.

When the female slaves heard this, they were all surprised and kowtowed to express their gratitude.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir..."

"Okay, don't thank me, just go."

The young man waved his hand and the group hurried away.

But before leaving, the young man glanced at Ning Quan intentionally or unintentionally.

"Haha, you're obviously a woman, but you insist on dressing up as a man. You don't even look like one."

Looking at the young man's back, Ning Quan couldn't help but mutter.

This young person was obviously a woman disguised as a man, and Ning Quan could see through her at a glance.

Of course, whether she is a man or a woman has nothing to do with Ning Quan.

The key is that she is Han Chinese, and the slaves he bought should not suffer, so Ning Quan felt relieved.

……

"Sir, please stay."

Just as Ning Quan was about to leave, the butler suddenly ran back.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Ning Quan asked in confusion.

"Sir, my son wishes to have a chat with you. Would you be so kind as to visit my humble abode?"

The butler said with a hint of flattery.

"Who is your young master?"

"Why do you want to see me?"

Ning Quan asked curiously.

"Sir, there are so many people here that I cannot reveal my son's name for the time being. Please come to my house to discuss in detail."

"As for what happened to my young master, I really don't know."

The housekeeper said quickly.

"Oh, okay!"

Ning Quan pondered for a while and then agreed.

Ning Quan was also curious about who the other person was, and since he had nothing better to do, he decided to go and take a look.

Soon, Ning Quan followed the housekeeper to a house in the east of the city.

This house is very large, covering dozens of acres.

After entering the house, Ning Quan immediately felt that the atmosphere was a bit solemn.

He discovered that there were actually quite a few guards patrolling the compound, and it seemed that this person must be of high status.

"Sir, please come with me."

The butler welcomed Ning Quan into the main hall.

Ning Quan looked up and saw a woman sitting at the head seat in the main hall.

And she is a stunningly beautiful woman who is so stunningly beautiful that she can topple a country.

She has a curvy figure, fair skin and beautiful looks, and her eyes are even more captivating. She is simply a disaster to the country and the people.

"So beautiful! Even more beautiful than Wanyue."

Ning Quan couldn't help but admire in his heart.

"Sir, this is my young lady. I was dressed as a man just now. Please forgive me."

The butler explained.

"Well, it doesn't matter."

Ning Quan nodded slightly.

"Young Master, you are from Daqian, right?"

The woman stood up and smiled faintly.

"good."

Ning Quan nodded.

"It's fate that I can meet fellow countrymen in Daqin."

"My name is Mulan. May I know what your address is, sir?"

"My surname is Chen, and my given name is a single character."

Ning Quan bowed.

Of course Ning Quan would not give his real name, and the woman in front of him obviously did not have her real name either.

"Hehe, okay, no more jokes."

"Zhao Yu, daughter of the King of Zhendong, greets His Highness the Ninth Prince."

Seeing Ning Quan so serious, the woman smiled and bowed respectfully to Ning Quan.

"what?"

"Are you the daughter of the King of Zhendong?"

Hearing this, Ning Quan was stunned and his expression changed immediately.

The King of Zhendong was one of the three kings of different surnames in Daqian, and the governor of Hedong, who was very powerful.

How did his daughter end up in the Arab world?

"Haha, so you're the daughter of the King of Zhendong. I'm so sorry."

"I wonder how you recognized me?"

Ning Quan laughed.

Since he was recognized, Ning Quan had no choice but to admit it.

"Because I have seen His Highness before, but His Highness didn't notice me."

Zhao Yu blinked her beautiful eyes and said.

Ning Quan was speechless for a while.

The reason is simple, but it does make sense.

She is the daughter of King Zhendong, so it is not surprising that she has seen me before.

"Why did you come to Daqin?"

Ning Quan continued to ask.

"Hehe, I'm here to buy food."

Zhao Yu said with a smile.

"You came to Daqin to buy food? Did your father ask you to come?"

Ning Quan asked in surprise.

It's not strange to buy food, but who should be sent? How can Zhao Yu, a woman, be allowed to come forward?

Isn’t the King of Zhendong afraid that something might happen to his daughter?

"My father is fighting in Xuanwu. My two brothers, one is following my father in Xuanwu, and the other is staying in Hedong, so I have to come."

"What else can we do? We can't just watch the people starve to death."

Zhao Yu explained.

"You don't have to show up, you can leave this matter to the lower officials. It's too dangerous for you, a princess, to travel all the way to Daqin."

Ning Quan frowned.

"No, we bought too much food this time."

"How can I trust someone else with so much money?"

Zhao Yu curled his lips.

"Uh... that's the truth."

"It seems you plan to buy a lot of food this time."

"Of course. You know Hedong has a large population. How can we not buy more?"

Zhao Yu said as a matter of course

"Did you buy it?"

"I've already bought half of it. I plan to go to Persia to buy the rest. There's no more bulk grain for sale in the Arab market."

"Is there a lot of food in Persia?"

Ning Quan asked immediately after hearing this.

"It is said that there are quite a few, so I am planning to go."

"I haven't asked yet, why did His Highness come to Daqin? Could it be that he is here to buy food as well?"

Zhao Yu asked curiously.

"No, I just want to see the scenery of the Arab world."

"Oh, so that's it."

"Then your Highness, are you going to Persia? We can go together?"

Zhao Yu said hurriedly.
