Chapter 126: The Mist of Jiaoshan Rebellion
When Xuanying was first sold to Jiaoshan, he was also very scared. He was afraid that he would not be able to escape, that he would be exhausted to death in the Wutie Mine Cave or die of old age in the Judin No. 2 slave house, and that he would not be able to avenge his parents, sister and tribesmen.
After he got used to it, he found that being a slave was just like that, not as scary as the rumors said. Instead, it made him more focused and calm. As for revenge, he could wait, slowly wait...
After a few days, he discovered that the overseers and soldiers guarding the slaves were incompetent, and he was secretly delighted.
However, Jiaoshan is surrounded by water on three sides in the east, west and north, and there is only one road leading out to the south. However, there are four or five sentry posts along the way. There is also a military camp between the slave refining area and Bailagang, where about 150 Jindaomen warriors and Jinyangcheng soldiers are stationed all year round.
It was extremely difficult to escape from Jiaoshan without being noticed by these people. Not long ago, four slaves tried to escape at night, but they were discovered by the sentries before they reached the slave training area. They were caught soon after and their legs were broken on the spot.
The four slaves were later dragged back to Jiaoshan. According to the laws of Jinyang City, each of them was whipped dozens of times and their tendons in their hands and feet were cut.
However, a warrior from the Golden Sword Sect felt that this was too easy for them, and said that when he was capturing the four slaves, he was punched and kicked by two of them, which was clearly "rebellion"!
Jinyang City had a clear law that those who committed treason should be beheaded and displayed to the public. So the four men were tied to the outside of the slave house by the soldiers. In front of nearly 2,000 slaves, a warrior from the Golden Sword Gate gouged out their eyes and chopped off their heads.
Finally, they tied their headless bodies to wooden poles, inserted their heads on the top of the poles, and erected them high up next to the slave house as a warning.
All the slaves were terrified when they saw it. Although Xuanying was brave and acted indifferent in front of everyone, he was also frightened by the cruel and bloody scene.
Therefore, they temporarily gave up their plan to escape secretly.
After a few more days, he gradually became familiar with the other slaves in the same slave house, especially Chu Xiaomu and Yu Aqi. They were about the same age as him and were also forced to be sold as slaves. They both wanted to escape from Jiaoshan.
The three of them hit it off and discussed how to escape from the dark and gloomy Jiaoshan Mountain.
After the whip wounds on Chu Xiaomu's back healed, the three men decided that it would be safer to lead all the slaves to rebel and then escape. Firstly, the slaves were numerous and powerful and would not be afraid of just over a hundred soldiers. Those overseers had no knives in their hands, so there was nothing to be afraid of. Secondly, even if they failed, these soldiers and overseers could not kill all the rebellious slaves. As long as they could not find out that they were the main culprit, there should be no problem in keeping their lives.
So the three of them began to formulate strategies, inquire about the news and situations on the mountain and below, find out the details of the soldiers and supervisors, agree on secret codes for contact, and win over more slaves...all of this was carried out in secret.
The next step was to wait for the opportunity to rebel. According to Chu Xiaomu and Yu Aqi's plan, they should wait until around the Qingyang Festival in Jinyang City. Because the Qingyang Festival was the biggest festival in Jinyang City, Jinyang City would not only hold a grand lantern festival, but also stipulate that it was forbidden to buy, sell, beat or scold slaves on that day.
If a grand meeting is held, almost half of the soldiers and overseers will ask for leave and return to the city. It is a good opportunity to paralyze them if they are not allowed to buy, sell, beat or scold slaves.
Although Xuanying could endure until then, he found a better opportunity.
That is, the Tongwei who led the troops in Jiaoshan took leave and went home, and the person who temporarily replaced him was Pang Shisan who whipped Chu Xiaomu severely on the way to Jinyang City.
It turned out that the leader of the troops, Tong Wei, was a man who had activated the Force, and was said to be very good at martial arts. And although Pang Shisan was a disciple of the Golden Sword and Black Sword, the number one martial artist in Cangmu Country, he did not activate the Force, and judging from the way he whipped Chu Xiaomu, his martial arts were also very poor.
Xuanying was 70% sure that he could beat him, so he decided to take a risk. The supervisor Ma Baocheng was a chess piece he had planted long ago.
It started to rain heavily in the afternoon of that day. This rain came at a very opportune time, and it also made Xuanying determined to implement the plan.
After work, Xuanying took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention while eating, and walked to the side and back of a utility room with his bowl. When he passed by the supervisor Ma Baocheng, he deliberately touched him.
As expected, Ma Baocheng chased after him aggressively and started beating him with the whip without asking any questions.
Xuanying hid behind the house, and Ma Baocheng chased him there, beating him and scolding him for being lazy. He must have been lazy in the mine again that day and even had to hide his meals.
After being whipped several times, Xuanying did not show any sign of dissatisfaction, but carefully placed the bowl and chopsticks on the ground.
Ma Baocheng became even angrier and cursed, "You damned slave, what do you want? I whipped you a few times, and you're still not convinced, right?" The sound of rain was so loud that it covered up his curses, and no one else could hear it.
Xuanying said coldly: "If you have the guts, try to hit me again?"
Ma Baocheng was furious and raised the whip to lash out fiercely, thinking that this slave, who usually didn't even dare to breathe after being whipped by him, had become bold today and dared to talk to him like this, so he must teach him a lesson to death.
He whipped her and cursed her: "You bastard slave, I'm going to beat you, what the hell do you dare to do?!"
But Xuanying no longer just took the beating without fighting back, but grabbed the animal tendon whip in Ma Baocheng's hand.
Ma Baocheng tried hard to take it back, but he was not as strong as Xuanying. The other end of the whip was held in Xuanying's hand, as if it was clamped by an iron hand.
He was about to shout loudly when Xuanying pulled him over with one hand, quickly wrapped the whip around his neck twice, and then strangled him tightly.
Ma Baocheng was strangled to death by Xuanying without even a sound.
The heavy rain was still pouring down, with no sign of stopping.
Xuanying picked up a sharp stone from the ground, cut the veins on Ma Baocheng's wrist, and collected half a bowl of blood. Then he placed the half bowl of blood in a place where a few drops of rain could fall on it. When the raindrops filled the bowl, the blood would flow out of the bowl and flow all the way to the front of the house.
Afterwards, he mixed into the group of slaves from the other side and pretended nothing had happened.
Everyone was exhausted after a day of hard work, so no one noticed him, and no one thought that an overseer had just been killed by a slave.
Xuanying mingled with Chu Xiaomu, Yu Aqi and others, and after they finished their meal, they were led back to the slave quarters by the supervisor.
