My lady, I'm going to rebel.

Without leaving any clues?

Mu Zheng and Li Cheng looked at each other and saw a hint of caution in each other's eyes.

Li Cheng rubbed his temples and said to everyone, "Everyone, please prepare supplies as soon as possible in the next two days. Once everything is ready, we will leave Acropolis."

Everyone nodded.

Li Cheng continued, "There are many powerful people in Tuwei City. Of course, there are also many poor bandits. The powerful may take the initiative to pick a fight, but don't forget that poor bandits are also troublesome. So everyone should keep a low profile for the next two days."

Everyone nodded again.

Li Cheng was very pleased with everyone's cautiousness. However, just after everyone dispersed, Li Cheng grabbed Li Lian and Mu Zheng and said, "I'm not worried about those merchants. They are looking for wealth and cherish their lives. As for you two, I only have one request."

Hearing this, Mu Zheng thought Li Cheng was trying to persuade him to be patient, but unexpectedly, he said, "Be quick and decisive. Don't embarrass us martial artists."

Uh.

Li Lian was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, my hands don't shake!"

……

The next three days passed quickly and peacefully.

Just as Li Cheng was leading his team to leave Acropolis, the carriage with the Populus euphratica logo appeared at the intersection again.

Mu Zheng and others obediently pulled over to the side to avoid the collision.

"Sister!" The fat man leaned on the girl's shoulder and nodded in the direction of the caravan, "I saw her again."

"So what if you saw me?" The girl tapped the fat girl's forehead and pushed her away from her. "We're here on behalf of our family, so stop messing with me."

"But they are inferior people!" muttered the fat man.

"Judging from their clothes, they should be from the Central Plains," the girl corrected.

"Aren't people from the Central Plains just inferior people?" The fat man said with a little dissatisfaction. "I don't care. Anyway, I've taken a fancy to that woman. She's tall and strong, and she fits the image of a woman from the frontier. I want to capture her and make her my slave."

After saying that, the fat man smiled slightly. The girl frowned impatiently but didn't say much.

I just want a slave. No matter if you are from the Central Plains or outside the Great Wall, you are all mine.

When I walked to the carriage, I saw a man standing there respectfully!

"Miss Yang!" Seeing the brother and sister coming out, the man quickly greeted them with a respectful attitude and handed them a list.

The woman surnamed Yang took the list and looked it over. "Is this the goods we recently received? Why are there no silks or pottery? Are you secretly withholding the fine goods?"

The man's face changed. "Miss Yang, you can't say that. We in the outer city don't have that much guts. We intercepted a Central Plains merchant caravan a while ago. They said that the famine in Daxinchao was so severe that no one had land to grow rice, let alone mulberry trees. Besides, our two countries have been at war for years, and many people from the Central Plains have stopped coming to the Xiongnu, so the goods have become much less."

The girl named Yang nodded, got on the carriage, and closed her eyes to rest.

……

Meanwhile, Li Cheng and his caravan were waiting to leave the city. Their attire attracted many people's attention.

Some were curious, while others looked at it with a hint of ambiguity, as if they were staring at their prey.

"Their looks really annoy me." Li Cheng glanced at the group of Huns. "They're only here in Acropolis. If it were anywhere else, I would definitely beat them to tears."

Mu Zheng heard this and smiled.

The team moved very slowly. Half an incense stick had passed before the team had only moved forward one or two meters.

"Xinlin, go and see what's going on?" Sun Yanzi felt very uneasy.

"Okay, Master!" Wang Xinlin ran to the city gate happily. He was talking to the soldiers guarding the gate. Gradually, he seemed to be more and more excited, and finally walked back dejectedly.

Mu Zheng looked at everyone and immediately realized that something had changed.

"What's wrong?" Li Cheng asked.

"That's just too much," Wang Xinlin muttered. "Those gatekeepers are so long-winded, asking for food, water, and two of them are standing nearby chatting about family matters. I urge them to hurry up, but they keep shouting that I'll never be able to leave the city."

"Huh? Then let's change lines." Sun Yanzi squeezed forward and pointed at the line next to him. "They let us pass quickly over there."

"Yeah, it's faster over there, but the people queuing up are all Huns." Mu Zheng had noticed the difference between the two lines a long time ago. The Huns' line moved at a constant speed and was easy to check, but the line of outsiders was like a cat taking a shit. It took a long time to squeeze in before a little bit of people came out.

"Damn!" a merchant cursed. "These gatekeepers are not fit for work. They're so slow, probably just asking for money."

When everyone looked, they saw that someone had given the gatekeeper a purse, and he quickly left the city.

……

Just when Mu Zheng and the others were discussing giving some bribes, the patriarch of the Maodun family was standing timidly on the side, and in front of him, on the two main seats, Yang Diela and her fat brother were sitting proudly.

Chief Maodun looked to be in his forties or fifties and should have been dignified, but in front of Yang Diela and her brother, he was like a frightened mouse, unable to straighten his back at all.

"Miss Yang, all the girls from the Central Plains in our Maodun family are here."

Behind the chieftain Maodun stood 10 maids with their heads lowered, but their occasional glances upwards revealed their thoughts.

This is a superior person.

Although I was also looking for slaves, being a slave in a noble family was better than being a slave in an ordinary Xiongnu family. Besides, what if I was lucky enough to sleep with my master?

After hearing the introduction of the Maodun clan leader, Yang Walu, also known as the fat man, scanned all the maids with his eyes and gradually frowned. "No, the woman I like is not here. She is tall, strong and muscular. Maodun, did you hide your treasure? I have inquired, and in the entire Tuwei City, only your family, Maodun, has a maid from the Central Plains."

"Young Master Yang, please don't wrongly accuse me." Maodun wiped the sweat from his forehead. "We have female servants from the Central Plains, but they have long been blackened by the wind and frost. They are no good at all."

"Haha!" Maodun sneered, "Is that so? But it doesn't matter. Send your men out to search for a tall woman from the Central Plains. As for us, we'll just stay at your house for two days."

what?

Chief Maodun was stunned.

"What? You don't want to?" Yang Diela's voice turned cold, frightening the Maodun tribe leader so much that he quickly bent down: "No, no, you are most welcome!"

After hearing the flattering words from Patriarch Maodun, the Yang siblings finally revealed a satisfied smile.

Then, Yang Walu stood up and walked over to a group of maids, touching one and pinching another. Finally, he pointed at a woman who looked pretty good and said, "You, stay with me for the next few days!"

The woman who was named trembled, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly responded. But just as she was about to step forward and hold the fat man's arm, she was slapped in the face: "You dog, you are not worthy to touch this young master, get down here!"

Chief Maodun lowered his head, and Yang Diela acted as if he didn't see anything and just stood up and left the hall.
