Chapter Eleven: Can't Get Out?(2/2)
There is a lot of people in the inn, and many merchants stay in the inn to eat, stay and replenish daily necessities.
This kind of inn covers a large area. It has a dining and rest area outside, and an animal fostering place. The inn is noisy and various strange smells make Han Chunming hurt his head.
Han Chunming finished his meal in a hurry and was about to go upstairs to rest when he suddenly heard the chat content of a group of merchants next to him.
A merchant who obviously seemed to be a foreigner ate naan bread, took a sip of wine, and shouted loudly.
"Have you heard that the Black Bear Tribe has been exterminated!"
The merchant started a head start, and someone hurriedly caught his words and said.
"How can you not know this? You didn't see the Black Bear leader and his tribe members being escorted to Fanxing City. I heard that there are hundreds of people!"
Everyone suddenly made a sound of tsk, and an elderly merchant said with some regret.
"I used a few beautiful robes in the Black Bear Tribe two years ago and exchanged them for more than fifty cowhides. Before leaving, I also gave me two gems. I still thought about going to their tribe again this year, but I didn't expect it!"
The old merchant's words aroused the echoes of several merchants, and one merchant also said with regret.
"It's a pity that the Black Bear Tribe is very strong in this area, and in business with them, the other party is very lawful. You guys say, why did you suddenly invade the border this year?"
An old merchant sighed and said.
"This is normal. The court may have to use force against the Huns and raise money and grain. Recently, it issued an order that the registered alien tribes outside the pass must pay 20% of cattle and sheep every year. Tribes without cattle and sheep must be deducted with money.
The Black Bear Tribe survived on a small salt lake. The first thing the court did was their tribe. They were forced to rebel!”
A merchant suddenly realized and nodded and said.
"No wonder, I said that I have traded less and less good things recently. It turns out that I have been conquered by the court!"
The old merchant nodded with a heavy expression and said.
"I see, this place is almost uneasy. After finishing this business, I will take a few months to check the situation."
The merchants nodded one after another, and one of the younger merchants asked curiously.
"You said, how will the government arrange for the people arrested by the Black Bear Tribe?"
The young merchant's questions seemed a little naive, which immediately caused several people to laugh, and one of them answered him.
"It's not the old rule. The old beheaded, the younger ones, tattooed on their faces, and escorted to the border to build the Great Wall. The remaining women and young ones were sold as slaves. This has been the rule for many years. Otherwise, do you think the activities in this Fengxing City are fresh from there?"
The merchants all gave the lewd smile that men should have, which made the young merchant feel a little embarrassed. He took this route for the first time and really didn't know these things.
When Han Chunming heard their conversation, he became interested.
How many slaves should I buy as a guide?
Otherwise, it would be a big deal to rely on yourself to wander outside the pass without anyone leading the way.
After thinking it through, Han Chunming continued to listen to the topic of the merchants from all over the world.
These topics have indeed enriched Han Chunming a lot of knowledge.
He also heard a news that three days later, the government would behead the patriarch of the Black Bear Tribe and some tribe members at the Caishikou of Dongmen. He heard that a hundred people might be killed.
Han Chunming immediately became interested and decided to go and see the fun.
Three days later, Han Chunming got up early in the morning and went to the east vegetable market in Chengdong. He saw a group of people watching the fun from afar.
It is said to be a vegetable market, but in fact, it is only a large open space of thousands of square meters. The surrounding streets have been garrisoned by hundreds of armored Qin soldiers, and the surrounding area is solemn.
As the sun rose, a group of aliens appeared with chains of hand and foot chains. These people were the people Han Chunming saw that day, and they were also from the Black Bear Tribe as the merchant mentioned.
When Han Chunming Dynasty looked over, he soon realized something was wrong. This group of people was not the more than 100 people mentioned by the merchants, but at least 400 people, both men, women, young and old, and were all escorted to the open space.
Seeing more than 400 Black Bear people in the open space, the dark and onlookers around them also made a lot of comments.
Not long after, the chief judge came hurriedly. He stood in the open space with a solemn face and shouted at the people watching around him.
"The aliens from the Black Bear Tribe attacked our Daqin border for no reason. This is a serious offense to the Tianwei of the Daqin. The county magistrate has decided to kill the entire Black Bear Tribe and show it to the public as a punishment!"
After saying that, the chief criminal officer stopped talking nonsense, and waved his hand and signaled the executioner to start preparing.
Hearing that his fate was decided, the group of adults in the Black Bear Tribe roared angrily, and some children and women were confused.
More than 400 people prepared eight executioners together, each of whom had to cut more than 50 people. It is conceivable that the next one would face a bloody show.
Han Chunming frowned and looked at the group of people who were about to be beheaded. He was not disgusted with beheading. He had sent at least one hundred people away in the past few months he had been in the Qin Dynasty.
But those people were basically blocking the road, and there were almost 300 of the more than 400 people in front of them, women and children, and there were about 40 or 50 real adult men.
The Black Bear Tribe is a small and medium-sized tribe with more than 2,000 people. It occupies a small salt lake 60 kilometers away from the pass and has been relying on salt making. This tribe has lived here for hundreds of years.
I thought the Black Bear Tribe was born with abnormal nature, and most of them were huge in size and extremely powerful. With this racial talent, it was possible to rely on more than 2,000 people to occupy a small salt lake for hundreds of years.
The Black Bear Tribe race is indeed different from the other races that Han Chunming saw. This race has a bit of brown-red skin and a face that looks like an Asian-European mixed race.
This is not the key. The key race, regardless of gender, is very tall. There are more than a dozen of giants over two meters in this group, and most of the remaining adults are 1.89 meters away.
You should know that among the more than 400 people, there are only forty or fifty adult men, and there are more than a dozen giants over two meters, which is already high enough.
Even those women and children are mostly tall, and Han Chunming seems to be looking at a group of Yao Mings.
Han Chunming was a little wondering, would this race be a special race?
And the batch in front of me is the last batch on earth?
Because he had never seen such a race in later generations, and it was not even recorded in history books.
And the more than 400 people in front of them are the last bloodline of their tribe. Perhaps after being cut down, these people will completely disappear on the earth.
Han Chunming felt a little regretful, should he save him?
But after thinking about it, he finally shook his head, and he was alone, with at least 500 armored Qin soldiers around him, all of whom looked particularly energetic.
One to five hundred?
Challenge your own limits? It feels a bit exciting to think about it!
Well, he still doesn't dare to come on. Even if he saves him, how can he take these people away?
He is not very familiar with this place. He has no choice but to eat, drink, defecate and urinate so much!
While Han Chunming was feeling regretful, the executioner was ready. A group of soldiers used weapons to force the group of Black Bear tribe members to kneel down, and then began to prepare to behead their heads.
Many children and women were in pain by the weapons in a daze and roared in fear.
The group of adult black bears began to pull the iron chains on their hands and feet desperately, causing chaos in the scene.
Seeing that the situation was a little chaotic, the chief criminal officer waved his hand immediately. Hundreds of Qin soldiers wearing armor raised their spears in an orderly manner. The four-meter-long spear shone coldly, aiming at the Black Bear tribe members.
The chief criminal waved his hand, and the soldiers in armor were about to stab forward, preparing to execute these people with spears and long spears.
At this moment, dozens of crossbow arrows suddenly shot out from the thousands of onlookers. The soldiers in armor could not stop them and were shot to death.
When the attack was seen, the scene suddenly became chaotic, and the crowds of people who were watching came forward were scattered everywhere.
A group of hundreds of people suddenly rushed out of the crowd. Most of them were dressed in business, each holding a crossbow arrow and a scimitar. Everyone raised the crossbow arrow in their hands and shot at the Qin soldiers guarding around them.
At the beginning, many Qin soldiers were shot down, but these Qin soldiers who had been stationed on the border for many years had more abundant combat than they thought.
Almost after these people shot the first round, some people in the Qin army had raised their shields to block the Qin army in front. Hundreds of Qin soldiers behind them, under the cover of shields, hundreds of long spears had extended out of the shields and rushed towards the crowd in unison.
The hundreds of people who could assassinate seemed to have the courage to fight to the death. Everyone threw away the crossbow arrows in their hands, held the scimitar in their hands, let out an angry roar, and rushed towards the Qin soldiers around them without hesitation.
Han Chunming, who was in the crowd, saw this scene and sighed silently. These people were just looking for death!
Han Chunming, who had already had the intention of saving people, suddenly became a little confused when he saw this group of people appear.
Should I save myself or not?
Han Chunming stood alone among the crowd of people scattered around, looking particularly entangled. He held the sword and quietly watched the sound of fighting around him. After a long time, he finally sighed deeply and slowly pulled out the Qin sword in his hand!
