C2677 The Slave Market
As for the Man Province, most of the foreign tribes did not know about it.
Even Saint Ji did not care about the Barbarian Province. He only wanted to take care of the foreign tribes and open up trade routes and build cities in the Barbarian Province in order to transport goods to the Barbarian Province.
However, later on, Saint Ji disappeared. The generations of Human Sovereign Realm warriors attached more and more importance to the Barbarian Province and regarded it as the imperial capital of the Great Xuan Human Court. That was why they constantly sent troops to station and build cities.
Even so, the foreign races of the Man Province still had very little contact with the Grand Xuan Court. It was just that they had a lot of trade with the ten prefectures, while the Man Feng County just happened to be located at the center of the Man Province. The surrounding mountain ranges rose and fell, making it extremely inconvenient to travel as it was even more congested.
As a result, most of the foreign races around the Man Feng County City did not know about the matter of reporting it. Occasionally, there would be some clear reports of what it meant to be reported. Before he even walked out of the jurisdiction of Savage Wind County, he was killed by the current loyal king.
Ji Sheng frowned and couldn't help but explain.
"Report! "Report the actions of the current King of Loyalty to the Grand Xuan Human Court. With such a debaucherous and brutal City Lord, the Grand Xuan Human Court will definitely punish him. Even beheading him would be a light punishment. There is a high chance that he will execute all nine of his family members."
"It can still be done like this?"
Mang Yue was stunned, only recovering after a long while, "Ji, Ji Sheng, the one you said to report. If the Grand Xuan Human Court finds out, will they really care?"
"Of course they will. The Grand Xuan Court is not that bad. The current Human Emperor treats his people very well."
Ji Sheng nodded. At this moment, everyone had already arrived in the courtyard. Ji Sheng pondered for a moment before coming to a halt.
"I am from the Sacred Region and happen to know an official of the Sacred Region. While my rank is not high, I can help to report this matter to the Human Court."
Ji Sheng said to Mang Yue, then took out a token.
This token was carved with dragons and phoenixes, and it shone with a golden light. However, it wasn't made of gold. It was an unknown material that no one could understand.
When Ye Feng saw the token, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. He knew Ji Sheng's identity. This token was probably no small matter.
At this moment, Ji Sheng injected his Yuan energy into the token. He was contacting the chief steward of the royal family. This was an official position that served the Human Emperor. He was in charge of all the affairs of the royal family in Great Xuan. His status was not to be trifled with. If he were to be placed outside the prefecture, he would be regarded as a great official in the territory. He would have much greater authority than the loyal king.
"Eh, it is actually the Fifth Prince. His Highness is not here to study? Why do you have time to contact this old official?"
An aged voice resounded in Ji Sheng's mind. It was precisely the Imperial Family's Chief, Qing Chai Fu.
"Grandpa Qing, I have something to talk to you about."
Ji Sheng smiled. Qing Shifu had already served two generations of Human Sovereigns, having an extremely high position in the Grand Xuan. Even Ji Sheng's father, the current Human Sovereign, had to address him as Uncle Qing. As Qing Shifu had watched him grow up, Ji Sheng had always called him Grandpa Qing.
"Please speak, Your Highness."
The voice in his mind grew more solemn. Qing Shifu understood Ji Sheng's personality very well. He knew that Ji Sheng had specially sent a message to him now, so he definitely had something to do with it.
"It's related to the Barbaric Province, Barbaric Wind County..."
Ji Sheng immediately told Qing Shifu about what he had heard from Mang Yue. He did not tell Qing Shifu that he had come to carry out the Azure Sky Divine King's Remains mission. After all, this matter was related to the Black Dragon Palace's secret and could not be leaked.
"There's still this matter?"
Qing Chai's tone became more and more solemn. The current Human Emperor loved his people as much as his son. Although he did not have much control over the Man Province, in the eyes of the current Human Emperor, the Human Clan was no different from the other races. They were all citizens of Great Xuan and had to be treated equally.
If the Human Sovereign knew about the matter in the Barbaric Wind County, he would definitely be furious, not to mention that it was like this in the Barbaric Wind County. What about the other counties in the Barbaric Province? It was hard to say whether they were all like this or not.
"Grandfather Qing, I hope the Human Court can send someone to investigate this matter. Such a crime is extremely heinous and must be punished severely."
Ji Sheng was extremely furious. As the Grand Xuan Prince, he actually couldn't refute Mang Yue's insults towards the Grand Xuan Human Court. After all, from what he had heard, the current King of Loyalty had indeed committed a heinous crime. The current King of Loyalty was simply a cancer of the Grand Xuan Human Court!
"Yes, Your Highness, rest assured. This old official will definitely send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly."
Minister Chai was prepared to use the power of his subordinates to first investigate this matter and confirm that it was true before immediately informing the Grand Xuan Human Emperor.
After the transmission ended, Ji Sheng put away the token and looked at Mang Yue. He said, "I have entrusted this matter to that official. He will definitely investigate this matter and punish the loyal king. He will also give justice to the people of the Barbarian Province."
"If we can really kill all nine generations of that beast, it would be best."
Mang Yue was excited. They were sworn friends, so he didn't doubt that Ji Sheng would lie to him.
"I wonder when the Grand Xuan Human Court will send someone over?"
Mang Yue thought about it before looking at Ji Sheng.
"There will definitely be a result in the shortest possible month."
Ji Sheng said seriously.
Seeing the outcome of the report, Ye Feng immediately said, "Alright, our mission this time is to find the Azure Heaven Divine King's remains. We should head there as soon as possible. Let's go."
Ye Feng led everyone to open the courtyard's main door. In front of them was a wide road. Numerous strange beasts pulled their carts and drove past in front of everyone.
The Barbarian Wind County was very big, and the place where Ye Feng and the others were at could only be considered an alley. The road was so wide, and if it was the main road of the prefecture, perhaps hundreds of cavalry could walk side by side.
"This place isn't bad."
Long Wu nodded. The architectural style of the Grand Xuan Human Court was very different from that of the Black Dragon Palace and even the Sea of Death. The scenery of this foreign land greatly interested Long Wu.
Long Hao said from the side. "He's right."
"This is Barbaric Wind County. Our tribe is near Barbaric Cloud County, not far from here."
Mang Yue said.
Everyone chatted as they walked out of the city. They didn't want to waste any time, so they arrived at Azure Sky Divine King's ruins as fast as they could. Finding Sacred Profound Blue Lotus and bringing it back to the Black Dragon Palace was the most important thing.
When they walked out of the alley and arrived at the wide road, Ye Feng saw a dense noise. It was just as Ye Feng had thought, the road wouldn't be crowded even if hundreds of cavalry walked side by side.
At this moment, there were many shops on both sides of the main road. There were many people coming and going in and out of the shops. Most of them were from the Human Clan. Occasionally, they would see a different race. They were the servants of the Human Clan who were pulling carriages and serving them.
"There are so few different races here? Didn't you say that there are many different races in the Barbarian Province? "
Ye Feng frowned and couldn't help but ask.
"That beast is a loyal king who does all kinds of evil. How would we dare to come to the Barbarian Wind County? All the foreign races here are servants of different races. They are actually slaves."
Mang Yue complained.
While they were talking, a tall giant beast that looked like a small mountain walked over from not far away. This giant beast was called the Mountain-bearing Beast, and it looked like a mouse. However, its body was hard, and it had three upper horns on its head. Its eyes were calm.
On the Mountain-bearing Beast's body, there were enormous cages on its back. Each prison had more than ten foreign races in it, and all of their faces were covered in dirt. Some of their bodies were covered in injuries, and it was clear that they had been brutally beaten.
"This..."
Ye Feng's pupils contracted slightly. He even saw some Human Clan in the prison. Who was the owner of this mountain beast? What was he trying to do by imprisoning all the foreign races here?
"How dare you! This is clearly selling slaves!"
Ji Sheng's expression was ugly. In the Grand Xuan Human Court, the current Human Sovereign treated his people equally. Unless he was someone who had committed an extremely heinous crime, implicating the kin of his clan, he would be demoted to a slave. Apart from that, anyone who wanted to recruit subordinates was only allowed to employ them.
Thus, slave trading was very rare in the Grand Xuan Court. The number of people being traded was usually not much. And within these prisons, there were dozens of foreign races as well as the Human Clan, close to a thousand of them.
