Your Majesty, Madam, she is not a human being

Chapter 18 Trading Den
After buying a bunch of things, Huo Qingluan and the two asked people to put the things on an ox cart, then got on the carriage and returned to the courtyard of the West Market.

"How much money is left?" Huo Qingluan looked at Xiaocui counting the money bags and asked.

Xiaocui said with a sad face, "Miss, there are about ten taels of silver left."

For an ordinary family, ten taels of silver might be enough to live well, but for my young lady, ten taels of silver is not even enough for her to wear one piece of clothing.She couldn't bear to let her young lady endure hardship and wear those rough linen clothes.

"It's okay. I'll go out in the evening and take on a mission." Huo Qingluan patted her head comfortingly.

This was an action that the original body had often done in the past. Whenever Huo Qingluan felt sorry for her or was angry, he would stroke Xiaocui's smooth, waterfall-like hair with his hands.At this time, Xiaocui always feels like a little sister, being pampered and cared for by the lady.

"But miss, you were seriously injured last time you went on a mission!" Although my miss has recovered now, she still feels scared when she thinks of the thrill.

Huo Qingluan smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, it was an accident last time. Besides, I didn't go in vain. Not only did I complete the commissioned task, I also earned a reward."

"But……"

Huo Qingluan interrupted what Xiao Cui was about to say: "Okay, don't worry. Go home and pack your things quickly, I'm hungry."

Xiaocui stopped talking when she saw that her attempts to dissuade her were fruitless, and she became more determined to practice hard.

After the two of them had eaten and drank enough, it was already evening and the sun was setting.

Huo Qingluan, wearing night clothes, lay on a recliner and took a nap, slowly waiting for the moon to rise.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight, the moonlight is slanting and filling the whole town.

Suddenly, several almost inaudible cries came to my ears.The crying sounded like sadness and despair, which made Huo Qingluan frown slightly and feel a slight chill in his heart.

Huo Qingluan opened his eyes and looked around, but found nothing strange.The sound... seemed to be coming from over there.

Huo Qingluan pulled up his face scarf and turban. Except for a pair of eyes exposed, the rest of his body was wrapped in black cloth.

She stood up, jumped onto the roof with a slight leap.Then he jumped back and forth between the woods and houses, and finally found the place where the sound came from - a very exquisite-looking villa.

In the courtyard, the candlelight flickers and the lamp shadows are mottled, giving off an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Huo Qingluan stopped moving forward because the house was heavily guarded and there were many guards.She had to be cautious. After all, her body was still very weak and she might not be able to handle it if she encountered an enemy attack.

Huo Qingluan squatted on a high branch and observed quietly.

……

"Come here!" A man in black dragged a young girl out of a room in the corner. He dragged the girl into another room. The candles were brightly lit, but the girl's face was full of fear.

Her mouth was covered with a black veil, so she could only whimper and struggle.

"Are you scared? How dare you fucking run away from me!" The man in black slapped the girl down to the ground.

"Ugh!" The girl screamed in pain, and the black veil in her mouth was knocked out by the slap.The girl looked at the man in black with hatred, gritted her teeth and said, "You bastards! You will not die!"

"Snapped!"

The man in black slapped the girl hard again and said with a cold snort: "Shut up! Otherwise I will kill you!"

The girl covered the swollen right half of her face and glared angrily at the man in black.The hatred hidden deep in those eyes was like a poisoned knife, with a sharp cold light.

"How dare you stare at me!" The man in black raised his arm and was about to swing it down when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

Then a low and sweet voice sounded: "Why is it so noisy?" "Master!"

The man in black replied quickly and respectfully, while giving the girl a demonstrative look.

The girl pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

"Send people to the backyard!" The low and sweet voice continued to come out, but it was so harsh in the girl's ears.

The man in black responded, then turned around, picked up the girl, and walked towards the backyard.

The girl struggled to resist, but she couldn't resist his power at all.She could only moan and struggle helplessly, hoping that someone would come to save her!

However, no one came to save her!
The girl closed her eyes tightly, tears streaming from her eyes, "Father, mother, my child is unfilial and cannot repay your kindness in raising me. In the next life... I hope we never meet."The child is willing to turn into a ghost and demand his life to make these demons pay the price for their actions!
The girl slowly closed her eyes and allowed the man in black to carry her out of the courtyard gate and throw her into a luxuriously decorated wing.

boom!
The door closed, cutting off the girl's last hope.

Huo Qingluan was shocked as he watched this scene. The sound in the room was filthy, mixed with the girl's voice of grief and anger. The resentment filled the whole room and lingered for a long time.

The crying in the backyard spread to the front yard, and in the corner room, low sobs could be heard, and there were actually many women sobbing inside.Is this... actually a trading den?

Huo Qingluan couldn't help but frown. She didn't know how long this kind of place had existed, but it would certainly not be too short.

Huo Qingluan sighed. She definitely couldn't save these girls from the fire and water by herself. She still needed help.

Thinking of this, she climbed out of the window and left the courtyard, returning to her own courtyard.

……

"Miss, why are you back so early?" Xiao Cui looked at Huo Qingluan who came back not long ago and asked doubtfully.

Huo Qingluan did not answer, but said into the air: "Call your master over and tell him that I have something urgent."

After Huo Qingluan finished speaking, he walked into his room.

She changed into another piece of clothing, then crossed her legs and checked the condition inside her body.You must crack this thing quickly, otherwise you will be at a loss to do anything!
……

Song Jiyang arrived very quickly. His night clothes made him appear mysterious and unpredictable. His handsome appearance and tall figure made people unable to take their eyes away.

"Can you help me with anything?" Song Jiyang jumped down from the roof and saw Huo Qingluan lying on a chair in the courtyard in a daze.

"What's going on? Are you injured?! Who was injured?" When he noticed Huo Qingluan's pale little face, an unknown anger surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but rush to Huo Qingluan's side, anxiously Ask.

"It's okay." Huo Qingluan looked up at Song Jiyang's worried expression, feeling inexplicably happy in his heart, but it only lasted for a second. The girl's hateful eyes that looked like she wanted to kill appeared again in his mind, "I want to ask you a favor. .”

She briefly told the story and told Song Jiyang the location of the trading point.

After hearing her words, Song Jiyang suddenly frowned. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll let someone investigate first. This matter won't be that simple. This is Zhongdu, the capital of the Song Dynasty. How dare this person be so bold?" , must have a big background!"

"Yes." Huo Qingluan nodded in agreement, but after a moment, she added, "If possible, find a way to save those girls first."

"So kind-hearted?" Song Jiyang looked at Huo Qingluan. In his opinion, this girl had experienced a lot of bloody killings and should have a hard heart. However, he did not expect that she would actually feel pity for these women. Heart.

Huo Qingluan smiled, her eyes darkened, she looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said faintly: "Perhaps I was once a kind and innocent person!"
