    When Kong Ming left Duan's mansion, he looked back at this mansion that didn't look like a wealthy family!

    The Duan family has a great reputation and a high reputation in Yunxia City. It is indeed a big force that attracts much attention.  However, the power of the Duan family can only achieve this.

    The Duan family was able to rise because of the "Benevolent Lord" who sacrificed his life for benevolence, but the name "Benevolent Lord" also restricted the development of the Duan family.  Because when anyone thinks of the descendants of the Duan family, they are equated with the term "gentlemen", and the children of the Duan family are firmly labeled as a landmark of Yunxia City!

    No matter how prosperous the Duan family is, they cannot do without Yunxia City, and it is impossible for them to develop their power outside of Yunxia City.  Take Duan Xingchao for example, even if he became the chief staff of the Prince's East Palace, when people talked about him, they would only say: "Oh, it turns out he is a descendant of 'Renjun'!"

    As a descendant of the Duan family, it is almost impossible to erase the traces of "Benevolent Lord".  This also makes the Duan family's status high, but it is just a "mascot" kept in captivity. No matter how great its reputation is, its real power is limited.

    Of course, there must be many knowledgeable people among the descendants of the Duan family who can see this situation clearly, but unless they have extraordinary abilities, how can they make changes?  For example, although Kong Ming didn't have the chance to meet Duan Kaiyu, the head of the Duan family, he could guess that he was such a smart person.  Otherwise, Duan Kaiyu would not let Duan Yuanyi take over the position of city leader. He would just excuse himself to retreat and ignore external affairs.

    After all, Duan Kaiyu is also a marshal-level strong man. He is definitely not interested in the status of "mascot", and naturally he is unwilling to show his face in front of others.

    As long as he remains superficially polite to the Duan family, Kong Ming can confidently and boldly compete with other forces. Anyway, the "mascot" of the Duan family will not affect the actual interests of all parties. Everyone is willing to hold the Duan family high.  Offer it on top!

    After saying goodbye to the Duan family, Kong Ming still had one place to go, and that was the market in Yunxia City.

    Having just settled in Yunxia City, there are a lot of things that need to be purchased in the house.  It is also necessary to purchase some maids and slaves.  Otherwise, Mo Yue, Tie Suxin and less than ten servants alone would not be able to take care of the entire Kong family.

    Yunxia City is close to the border. There are many people who were displaced due to the Sand Bandit Rebellion and sold themselves as servants. Moreover, those prisoners caught on the border will be classified as slaves.  There were enough slaves in the market.  There is no shortage of some with good overall qualities.

    The market in Yunxia City is in Nancheng District, not too far from Dongcheng District. Kong Ming and others walked slowly while watching the local customs of Yunxia City.  As he headed towards the market in Nancheng District, in less than half an hour, he was already in Nancheng District.

    Kong Ming arranged for Mo Yue and Tie Suxin to take several demon clan guards to buy household accessories needed for the house, while he took Eugene, Lei Ming, Locke and others to the human traffickers' market to select maids and slaves.

    The human traffickers¡¯ market in Nan City is very prosperous, occupying almost one-third of Nan City¡¯s territory.  Among them, there are several larger slave trading houses, all of which bear the mark of the Yunxia City Chamber of Commerce Alliance. From this point of view, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance has completed its monopoly on the Yunxia City market.

    In addition to the slave trade, there is also a public exhibition stand in the middle of the human traffickers' market. If there are slaves of good quality, most of them will be dragged to the exhibition stand and sold through public bidding.  Of course.  If you were choosing a maid, you wouldn't go to this booth, because a maid is just a servant, not a slave, and no one wants to be embarrassed in public.

    Kong Ming entered the largest slave trading house.  He selected dozens of servants including cooks, maids, gardeners, etc., paid for their deeds of sale, and asked the slave trading house to arrange for them to report to the Confucius Mansion tomorrow, and then took Eugene and others with them.  Wandered around the slave market.

    At this time, a group of slaves were being auctioned on the booth in the middle of the market.  They were all strong young men with stocky bodies and looked powerful.  According to the slave owner, these people are all prisoners of sand pirates, and they are all regarded as excellent labor force. Although the price is more expensive, you get what you pay for, so it is worth selling.

    Kong Ming glanced at Lei Ming, who nodded knowingly, and pushed forward with Locke, preparing to purchase these slaves.

    Kong Ming is interested in these slaves, not because they are excellent labor force, but because these people once had the identity of Shazhou pirates. From them, more or less information related to Shazhou can be obtained.  Moreover, these slaves are all from Shazhou. As long as they have useful talents, they can be returned to Shazhou after proper training and become the informants of the Kongming Intelligence Network.

    Lei Ming is quite talented in gathering intelligence, but the situation in Shazhou is special. He has been unable to find any capable people there, so he can only collect information through caravans. NowThe two sides were in a state of war readiness, and as soon as business ties were cut off, they basically lost their sources of information. If he didn't make plans for these sand pirate slaves, Kong Ming would really be blind to Shazhou's intelligence.

    The price of these sand pirate slaves is not low, each one is more than dozens of gold coins, but such a small amount of money is nothing to Kong Ming, so he naturally negotiates the price quickly and buys all the sand pirate slaves.  Come down.  Kong Ming and others were escorting the slaves and were about to return when they saw a loud noise from the crowd around them, and then a relatively large iron cage was pushed onto the booth.

    Kong Ming looked back and was startled, because the person imprisoned in the iron cage was a tall orc with the head of a tiger and the body of a human body!

    This kind of half-orc is not a humanoid monster, but a hybrid of orcs and humans. They are among the unnaturalized barbarians, and most of them live scattered in the southwestern barbarian states.

    Half-orcs can be regarded as a relatively powerful race. They have mixed blood bodies. In addition to the strong bodies of the orcs, they also have human wisdom. They have a high reputation in the barbarian state, and the barbarian king has  The half-orc army can also be regarded as an ace army of the Barbarian King.

    The border between Manzhou and Karasuma County has been plagued by wars for many years. The Cao family's cavalry in Karasuma County is world-famous, and the barbarian orc army is one of the few military units that can compete with the Cao family's cavalry. This shows the strength of these orcs.  .

    There are also strong and weak bloodlines among half-orcs. Those with tiger heads and human bodies are called tigers. They are definitely the strongest and most powerful kind of half-orcs. They are the upper class among half-orcs and are extremely rare in ordinary times.

    Generally speaking, it is rare to see Orcs in Izumo County, let alone Khajiit among them, but this time a Khajiit was pushed into the slave market, which is really a rare thing.  However, this tiger man was locked in a cage and pushed onto the stage, which shows that he has not been completely tamed. If you are really interested in him, you must at least have the strength to subdue him.

    At this time, according to the introduction of the slave owner, this tiger man was also captured on the border of Izumo County. As for why a tiger man joined the sand bandits, no one knows the reason.  But rare goods can be found. If such a Khajiit slave is placed on the market, even if it has not been domesticated, its value will never be low.

    Sure enough, the slave owner offered a base price of three hundred gold coins. If anyone is interested in this tiger man, the one with the highest price will naturally get it.

    Ordinary slaves are definitely not worth the price of 300 gold coins, but this tiger slave is different. If you really want to buy it, even if it is to carry a sedan, drive a carriage, or walk outside, it will be too tight. Many people are extremely worried.  Interested bids, and the price quickly rose to five hundred gold coins.

    Kong Ming was also very interested in this Khajiit slave. When he was about to join the bidding, an arrogant voice suddenly sounded outside the crowd: "A Khajiit slave actually appeared in the market? It's really a rare thing. With this  Isn't it more majestic than anything else to be a tiger man? This young tiger man wants it!"

    As soon as the words fell, the crowd was divided to both sides. Four divided servants walked in front with their heads held high, forcing the crowded crowd to both sides, leaving a passage open.

    Seeing these four healthy servants, Kong Ming frowned slightly, because these four healthy servants all have Yuan practitioner cultivation. Although they are only entry-level practitioners, they play the role of servants. It can be seen that their master should be  It has a certain power.

    As the crowd parted, I saw a young man dressed with oily hair and pink face, holding a birdcage in his left hand and shaking a folding fan in his right hand, walking over calmly.

    It¡¯s already late autumn, and this young man is still waving a folding fan in his hand. Is there any other reason besides being pretentious?  As for the birdcage held by the young master, it was not an ordinary thrush or parrot, but a strange bird with a black body and a long pointed beak.

    Eugene took a step forward, leaned into Kong Ming's ear and said: "The second-level monster carrion-eating carving, this guy's taste is very unique. If you keep this kind of monster that likes to eat carrion as a pet, you won't be afraid of bad luck."  !¡±

    Kong Ming smiled slightly and said: "If you have the ability, means, and are extremely confident, what's so great about raising a second-level monster as a pet? Maybe this kind of unconventional effect is what you want?"

    How sophisticated are Kong Ming, Eugene and others?  As soon as the young master appeared, he could see that he had the cultivation of an intermediate Yuan Master, which was considered good among young people. He was indeed qualified to keep a second-level magic beast as a pet.

    However, looking at his demeanor and arrogant behavior, I am afraid that this young master¡¯s mental state is very limited, and he is more like a playboy!
