Chapter 268: Escaped
"Okay, I understand." Li Siqi nodded and went out.
Since Li Siqi was a very fast learner and Hu Weihua had taught him some simple Hu language on the way here, it was not a big problem for Li Siqi to communicate with the people from the Western Regions.
As Li Siqi was walking, he found a group of people gathered together excitedly and discussing something.
Li Siqi also leaned over to listen out of curiosity, and the general meaning was that an underground trading venue would be held here soon, and everything would be sold there.
When Li Siqi heard this, he suddenly had a bad premonition. He had a bad idea in his heart. His sixth sense told him that Xu Yingying was most likely trafficked here.
Thinking of this, Li Siqi waved his hand without hesitation and spent a large sum of money to buy the admission ticket to the underground venue.
At the same time, after a fruitless patrol, Li Siqi returned to the inn.
At the same time, Hu Weihua also returned to the inn. He looked at Li Siqi helplessly, shrugged and said, "I didn't find Xu Yingying either."
When Li Siqi heard this, his expectation suddenly vanished.
"I want to go to the underground trading place to take a look. I think it is very likely that Xu Yingying has been trafficked there."
Li Siqi directly expressed his thoughts.
"Ah? What? You want to go to an underground trading place? That's not a good place! People who go there are basically in danger of death. It's very dangerous!"
When Hu Weihua heard this, he immediately became anxious and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"Well, let me ask the secret guards to go to the underground trading place in advance to find out the situation. When they officially open in Shanghai, I will disguise myself as a customer and rescue Xu Yingying."
"You don't have to persuade me. I know you mean well, but Xu Yingying is my wife. I can't just watch her in danger and ignore her!"
Li Siqi spoke in a very firm tone.
Hu Weihua didn't know what to say after hearing this, and could only remind Li Siqi to be careful.
The situation on Xu Yingying's side is even worse.
She slowly woke up, glanced around, touched her aching neck, and muttered to herself, "Where am I? It's so weird! My neck hurts so much."
Xu Yingying turned around and found that the people around her were looking at her with extremely strange and aggressive eyes, and speaking nonsense that she could not understand.
She looked around and found that there were many women like her imprisoned here, all of whom seemed to have been trafficked.
Xu Yingying called Yecao tentatively, "Yecao, Yecao, are you there?"
As a result, the weeds did not appear.
This discovery suddenly made Xu Yingying feel very helpless.
Xu Yingying didn't give up and tried a few more times, but found that she still couldn't summon the weeds.
She looked around and found that a master had set up a formation here to prevent ghosts and spirits from entering.
When she thought of this, Xu Yingying became extremely depressed.
This is how to do ah!
night.
Just when Xu Yingying was anxious about how to escape from here, several tall and strong Hu people came in. They dragged Xu Yingying into a room, raped her, and then forced her to change into revealing clothes.
After doing all this, the other party tied Xu Yingying's hands again.
Just like that, a group of washed women sat backstage, ready to be sent to the auction table for people to examine and trade.
At the same time, Li Siqi also successfully entered the underground trading venue with the help of Hu Weihua.
As soon as he came in, he saw the women on the stage who were scantily clad and tied up. Li Siqi immediately felt even more anxious.
He anxiously looked for Xu Yingying everywhere in the auction hall, but he couldn't find any trace of Xu Yingying after searching around. Moreover, after the auction of the "goods", Li Siqi did not find Xu Yingying either.
Seeing this, Li Siqi became even more anxious and nervous. Could it be that his guess was wrong?
At this moment, Xu Yingying, who was tied up and scantily clad, was brought onto the stage.
It turned out that women from the Central Plains were very popular in such auction trading venues, and Xu Yingying was also very good-looking, so naturally she was the last item to be auctioned off on the spot.
As the host said, "The highlight is here. The starting price for a Central Plains woman is 20,000 taels of silver. The bidding begins."
The people in the audience instantly became agitated. Many wealthy businessmen were conquered by Xu Yingying's beautiful appearance and immediately joined the auction excitedly.
"I'll give you thirty thousand taels of silver."
"I'll give you 70,000 taels of silver."
"I'll give you eighty thousand taels of silver."
……
Seeing that the price of Xu Yingying was far beyond the silver bills Li Siqi brought today, he still gritted his teeth and shouted, "I'll offer 100,000 taels of silver."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire auction venue became quiet in an instant. Everyone looked at Li Siqi in surprise. Some were envious, some were surprised, and some looked at Li Siqi with contempt. Spending 100,000 taels of silver to buy a female slave was simply a foolish way of getting taken advantage of.
"One hundred thousand taels of silver each time."
"One hundred thousand taels of silver, twice."
"One hundred thousand taels of silver three times."
"Deal, let this young man get this beautiful girl."
After he finished speaking, the whole audience immediately started to get excited as if they were congratulating Li Siqi for winning the beauty.
Li Siqi also cooperated by putting on a forced smile and then clapped his hands.
Then, Li Siqi was taken to the backstage by the staff of the trading hall to prepare for the transaction.
On the way, Li Siqi quietly pulled Hu Weihua.
Hu Weihua immediately came up to them and asked in a voice that both of them could hear: "What's wrong?"
"When I say run, we both run quickly. Do you hear me?" Li Siqi said.
Hu Weihua was shocked when he heard this. "What do you mean? Are you trying to evade the ticket?"
"Of course! One hundred thousand taels of silver, I don't have that much money on me." Li Siqi said helplessly.
"Okay! But there are so many thugs here, can we escape?" Hu Weihua asked in a low voice.
"Of course, I have arranged secret guards to help me in the dark." Li Siqi answered confidently.
"Okay." Hu Weihua nodded with relief when he heard this.
In this way, the two were taken to the backstage and successfully met Xu Yingying.
The moment Xu Yingying saw Li Siqi appear, she was so excited that she wanted to jump up and run away with Li Siqi on the spot.
Li Siqi signaled Xu Yingying to calm down with his eyes, and pretended to take money out of his pocket to pay.
Just when the people in the underground trading hall let down their guard, Li Siqi gave Hu Weihua a look, and the two of them grabbed Xu Yingying and ran away quickly.
