She looked up, her long and fair neck was like an elegant swan, she saw the sky like a dome covering the surrounding fields, the vast desert with Gobi Desert, and even further away were the rolling hills, Populus euphratica, snow-capped mountains, and the desert nowhere.

The absent wind carried waves of heat, like burning flames.

At that moment, Chen Baiqi finally had a real understanding and feeling. It turned out that she was no longer in the modern era of high-rise concrete and steel buildings, but had come to this primitive, barbaric but bloody and passionate era.

In the past, she had read the historical events of the sages and through the descriptions and characterizations of their words. She had never dreamed of being able to personally witness and participate in the glory of such a moment. Now, despite a strange combination of circumstances, her fantasy has come true.

At some point, Chen Bai started to laugh, but the next moment, he suddenly disappeared again.

Suddenly, Chen Baiqi sensitively felt a hidden gaze falling on her.

The feeling that that line of sight gave her was like the desert wind, with its sweet and fragrant breath passing over her body gently yet aggressively, penetrating through her exposed skin and sweeping over the curves of her body.

.

She was horrified, Xiu'e's long eyebrows were under her shadow, and she couldn't help but turn her head.

However, the moment she turned her head, the hidden searching gaze had disappeared.

Chen Baiqi's heart suddenly trembled, and his eyes began to look around calmly.

There is no suspicious person.

None of the servants who ran the business in Chen Shang's camp were there, the hired guards were not there, and Lian Ju was also missing. She heard the noise coming from behind the rocks in front of her, and the shouts of the rough men. It turned out that they were all gathered there.

.

Chen Baiqi wanted to go and see what happened, but as soon as he lifted his steps, he remembered something, and then he took his feet back again and waited quietly.

Now she is no longer Chen Baiqi, but Sanniang of the Chen family. Naturally, she can no longer rely on past common sense and experience.

During the Warring States Period, the status of most women was extremely humble. Take the father of Sanniang of the Chen family for example. Although he was just a commoner from the Chen family, with no official position, no money and no virtue, he could rely on

In the name of procreating children and prospering the family, the Chen family, which has retained its prestige for hundreds of years, can openly hire wives in Pingling, take concubines and marry children without restriction, and some of them continue to visit brothels or recruit prostitutes.

Beautiful women on the street can be savagely occupied and plundered.

However, such character and conduct are not criticized or scorned by society. Some women who need shelter and support, and who are humbled by power and money, will automatically choose to sacrifice themselves and trade themselves as objects.

Even if they have a premonition that one day they will get tired of being played with, or be disliked for other reasons, and will be thrown aside as if they are worn out shoes, they will still be like moths to a flame.

However, there are very few types of women who can gain the respect and admiration of men and even those in power, and that is elegant women with virtuous reputation and academic conduct.

In the era when various schools of thought generally stated that "people can be fat if they are thin, but the scholars and the common people cannot be cured", reading and understanding knowledge is a sacrament that is praised and praised by everyone. Everything is inferior. Only reading can make people good.

A person who is sensible and understands thoughts, a person who understands is noble and self-respecting, and who understands academics and strategies and achieves the demeanor of a scholar. Even if she is just a woman, she is worthy of being respected and not easily blasphemed.

And such a woman must understand etiquette and know how to advance and retreat.

Chen Jiaoniang, who has narrow knowledge and limited experience, naturally does not understand these things, but Chen Baiqi understands.

Therefore, as a woman, she cannot disregard etiquette and get close to a group of slaves. This will damage her character.

I saw a majestic army gathering in front of me. The expressionless soldiers retreated neatly to both sides. In the middle of the road were four tall horses, each riding a nine-foot-long, majestic general with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Next to him was a mysterious man wearing a black cloak, and on either side of him were two warriors who were dressed differently than soldiers and exuded a strong and dangerous aura.

At this time, the slaves of Chen's caravan knelt humbly on the ground and blocked a circle outside, while the war criminal slaves being sold were surrounded by the army and formed a trembling mass. They knelt down like quails to save their lives and screamed in sorrow.

A middle-aged civilian scholar came forward and was negotiating with the general of the army. He nodded and bowed and handed over a token of the Chen family. Then he said something to the general, and the two of them looked at the tent where Chen Baiqi lived.

Unexpectedly, he saw an elegant figure that looked like a white lotus standing calmly and gently outside the tent. Both the middle-aged scholar and the army general were very surprised to see her.

Unlike the middle-aged scholar who was surprised and panicked, the army general was surprised and a little playful and cold.

Then, the middle-aged scholar knelt down and begged for mercy for a long time. The general seemed to say something, and the scholar swallowed a gulp of saliva, stood up in a panic, and ran to Chen Baiqi's side with staggering steps.

"Girl, why are you up? Oh, didn't Ju say that you are seriously ill?" He wiped his cold sweat, and as soon as he opened his mouth, there was a lot of resentment and accusation, as if Chen Baiqi was not so ill that he was about to die.

Just feel sorry for him.

When Chen Baiqi approached him, he saw the word "Uncle Chen" written above his head, so he checked his detailed information.

Name: Chen Jia (Uncle Chen)

Occupation: Scholar (Lord Chen Bo)

Race: human

Attributes: vitality 80; force 10; intelligence 40; physical strength 55;

Loyalty:15

Seeing that there is no "level" in Uncle Chen's attribute information, this shows that he has no potential and cannot grow. In addition, his loyalty is only 15. Compared with Ju's loyalty, he is simply ridiculously low.

It also shows that he has dissatisfaction with Chen.

But Chen Baiqi was not surprised when she saw this information. Just because this man had ignored his character, knelt down in flattery and followed others' influence, her impression of him was greatly reduced.

It would be fine if he were an ordinary person, but in fact this Uncle Chen was a scholar who was once saved by Chen Jiaoniang's father. After Xu Nai was a minister in decline, he maintained his noble status and was often complacent and arrogant towards Chen Jiaoniang and her father.

Later, he was sent to teach Chen Jiaoniang, but he often had no intention of teaching and was just trying to gain fame.

"Uncle Chen, what happened?"

Chen Baiqi's tone was sweet and cold, and Shui Xing's eyes were slightly narrowed. In order not to be exposed, he modeled Chen Jiaoniang's usual personality and demeanor.

When Uncle Chen saw that Chen Jiaoniang was not in a hurry to explain to him, but instead asked him questions in an orderly manner with a majestic look on her face, Uncle Chen felt a little strange in his heart.

In the past, Chen Jiaoniang treated Uncle Chen with the same respect as her father. She had never spoken to him in such a cold and arrogant manner as a master.

Uncle Chen glanced at her twice, thinking that she was out of sorts because of being frightened, and he ignored the blame. Thinking of the difficult situation he was in now, he couldn't hide his sadness and panic: "That's General Qi from Nanyang Xiangcheng of Zhao State. They said they were here."

Capture key fugitives from NaViet."

Chen Baiqi was startled. They came from the Zhao State that had recently raised troops to destroy the Yue State?

"What's the crime?"

"How could they tell such a thing to outsiders like us?" Uncle Chen yelled angrily, then he wiped his tears with his sleeves and murmured: "But on this trip to the Yue Kingdom to trade slaves, I heard that the Yue Kingdom

The monarch's most beloved Prince Si escaped on the day of the break. Listening to the general's intention, this trip was specifically designed to use force to intercept the caravan that had recently gone to Vietnam to buy and sell traders... Could it be that he suspected that someone had sneaked into the caravan, and cried out, if

If we are captured by them and taken back to the Kingdom of Zhao, we are afraid that we will never be able to return."

After listening to Uncle Chen's words, Chen Baiqi thought thoughtfully: "They don't know the third prince Si of the Yue Kingdom."

You must know that there are no less than a hundred caravans coming and going from the Yue Kingdom, and they are from the south and the north. If you know people, why bother to offend other countries and choose to use large-scale labor to intercept and arrest them? I am afraid that none of them will know the people of the Yue Kingdom.

The third prince... And how special is this third prince, Zhao Guo, that he is worthy of the Zhao State's troubles to capture him.

"Of course, now we are all going to be detained and returned to the Kingdom of Zhao! What should we do? Girl, please quickly write to the lord and ask him to ask the Chen clan to send someone to rescue us!" Uncle Chen looked at Chen Baiqi with a burning look.

"Does Zhao Guo have the right to do this?" Chen Baiqi ignored his whims.

He glared at Chen Baiqi sarcastically and contemptuously: "Girl, you know how little you know. This does not require rights, because we are powerless. Even if they kidnap us with brute force, if something happens, even if Chen

When the clan goes to ask for someone, the Zhao State can at most send someone to deliver a box of jewels, and the Chu State cannot do anything to them."

Ah, she forgot that in this era, even the monarchs are not omnipotent. On the contrary, only those with the strongest weapons can be tyrannical.

Although the Chen family belongs to a gentry family, Chen Jianniang is just a daughter of a branch of the common people, and is not favored by the clan at all. Otherwise, how could she have fallen into such vulgar business activities that the gentry disdained most?

Unlike the Wei and Jin Dynasties, even if the nobles did not have enough soldiers and horses to fight against the evil forces, no money, no food, no weapons, even if the saints could make the forces of various countries respect them, they would still be weak and easy to bully.

"Since Zhao Guo has come to your door, I'll go take a look."

"Girl, you have just recovered from a serious illness, why don't you let... let your uncle go?" Uncle Chen quickly stopped him, with a gloomy look on his face.

Chen Qibai turned to look at him, but saw that he didn't flinch at all, and didn't even mean that he shouldn't say this. He valued his eldest uncle and didn't avoid him because of her serious injury this time, so he felt relieved.

However - he looked down upon her and despised her even more.

How ridiculous that a diner looks down upon the owner.

Looking at him, Chen Bai started to smile, but there was no trace of smile in his eyes, which were cold and cold: "My surname is Chen, and his... surname is Ji. Does Uncle Chen want Chen to be ashamed of my daughter from now on?"

His face changed slightly when he heard this.

Isn't it ridiculous for him to ask a Ji family to replace the head of the Chen family? This would be contempt and ridicule of the Chen family name. Even if she is a female generation, she also knows the importance of a family name to the clan members.

Scholars, ancient intellectuals. The heroine's current profession is not glorious. Shang was very discriminated against in ancient times, and she was also a special member of the slave trade, a slave owner hahahaha——
