Chapter 230: [Xiao Yu Signs A Slave Contract]

Chapter 230: [Xiao Yu signs a slave contract]

"His Royal Highness? What does this mean?"

"Could it be that you want to strangle Su Ning to death with a rope?"

Wanyan Baoding looked at the expression and movements of his princess, and felt a bad premonition in his heart, but he still tried to explain the behavior of the princess with unrealistic fantasies.

Trying to deceive myself and paralyze myself.

"Princess Xiao, what are you doing with the rope?"

Su Ning also looked at Xiao Yu who took out a bundle of rope with some doubts. From her eyes and movements, Su Ning did not feel any threat.

Therefore, he did not attack Xiao Yu, but just watched her operations silently.

I saw Xiao Yu gently took his own jade hand, and put the rope made of hemp rope on one arm.

Hold its thread with the other hand, and wrap it around the shape of a circle. Finally, the circle is tightened, and a simple noose is ready.

What is this operation?

Is she going to tie herself up?

Tie yourself up?

Su Ning watched Xiao Yu's operation just now, and couldn't help frowning, really confused.

He suddenly realized that he was becoming more and more unable to figure out this Liao woman.

Obviously, the two of them had met for less than an hour, but the love she brought to own was even more shocking than that of Yue Zun before.

"Princess Xiao, you don't mean to tie yourself up with this rope, do you?"

"Could it be, isn't this also the custom of treating captives when you were defeated in the Daliao Dynasty?"

Su Ning looked at the ring made of hemp rope that was big enough to hold his entire body and asked with some doubts.

I wondered what this thing would do.

Originally, Su Ning thought that Xiao Yu was going to use it to tie up her own arms, so that she seemed more sincere as a captive.

It's just that looking at it now, it's obviously not related to Su Ning's idea. Such a big circle is probably enough to fit the arms of seven or eight people, and it can't trap people at all.

"Master Su Ning, you will find out later."

"Please also be patient."

Xiao Yu seemed to be a different person. Although the timbre of the voice did not change, it must have been more gentle and watery than before.

She ignored Su Ning's gaze, but continued to weave the rope by herself.

In the end, she carefully looked at the circle she had just made, showing a row of white teeth, and made a satisfied smile.

Then, she put the circle around her slender neck, and after putting it in, she gently stretched one of the ropes, and the circle gradually shrunk until it could only accommodate her neck.

Xiao Yu knelt on the ground and handed the other end of the rope to Su Ning. With the other hand, he took Su Ning's arm and put it on his forehead, and said in a tone full of expectation,

"The 23rd generation descendant of the Daliao royal family, Xiao Yu, the lord of Liaoyang County, begged the master to take me as a slave."

"Xiao Yu is willing to swear by her own bloodline, to fulfill her duty as a slave, to love her master forever and never betray!"

What, be her master?

Su Ning looked at Xiao Yu who was kneeling on the ground, and finally figured out the meaning of what she just did.

Guessing in my heart, this should probably be some kind of custom on the grassland, or a ceremony for slaves and masters to establish a contract.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu just saw him once, and after being beaten up unilaterally by him, he didn't feel resentful, but wanted to become his own slave.

Su Ning couldn't help being shocked by the weird ideas of these grassland peoples.

What Su Ning didn't know was that this kind of contract between slaves and masters was actually very common as early as when Daliao was a grassland tribe before the founding of the country.

Even though a few Hundred Years have passed, Daliao is no longer the nation that used to drink blood on the grasslands.

Both the system and the concept of etiquette and law are all in line with the Song Dynasty, but still retain a large number of inherent customs of the grassland people.

And the slave contract ceremony that Xiao Yu performed just now is one of the most important customs.

Even in Daliao, where the national power was becoming more and more prosperous, and even gradually surpassed the Song Dynasty, this custom not only did not evolve and decline with the development of civilization, but it developed further, and even the number of people who made this kind of slave contract was lower than the previous number. To increase dozens of times.

Although this kind of slave contract seems to be a kind of bondage to the party who becomes a slave, it is a forced personal attachment relationship.

As a slave, the contracting party should be very resistant to boycott.

But the actual situation is just the opposite. In the territory of Daliao, the number of slaves who choose to become slaves is far greater than the number of contract slave owners.

This Daliao custom was even reversely exported to the people of Dal Song, whose civilization seemed to be more advanced.

Most of the reasons for this situation are because the slave contract is not as simple as imagined.

Although it seems that the party who becomes a slave in the contract has to bear more obligations, including helping the master to run a family, maintaining the dignity of the master, meeting the needs of the master, and not betraying the master.

However, the party who is the master of the contract also has very important obligations that cannot be ignored.

The first is to ensure the safety of slaves.

This may seem simple, but in fact, it is not easy to do in this world of cultivating immortals, Body Refining, and people like grass.

Some civilians in war-torn places even took the initiative to rush to sign slave contracts with aristocratic families.

For Su Ning in the parallel world, this may be an unequal treaty of personal attachment, but for those precarious civilians, it is like a talisman.

Of course, these are the general versions of the slave contract, and the master's obligations may vary and be different in addition to the first clause.

For example, it is necessary to ensure the health of the slaves, as well as the education and recuperation of the slaves.

And the slave contract of the Daliao Kingdom that Xiao Yu performed just now is even more special, so that many male royal families of Daliao are not even willing to sign slave contracts with their subordinates.

Because in this contract, there is an obligation to the master that can be called a tool for the slave to reverse the slave master.

That is, if the master and the slave are of the opposite sex, the contract ceremony will automatically add a clause that limits the ability of both parties.

That is, as long as either the master or the slave has a need to be satisfied, the other party must implement it unconditionally.

Neither the master nor the slave shall violate it.
