Qu Lang followed Qu Le silently, his eyes never leaving her for a moment. As for Gu Fuzhou and Miao Ben, they walked slowly at the end, chatting as they walked.
Gu Fuzhou: "I wonder where the master will go after entering the city?"
Their common goal is to go to the city of West Asia. Now that they have reached their destination safely, separation is inevitable.
Miaoben touched his round belly and said with a smile: "I heard that a senior monk held a forum to discuss Buddhism at Chidori Temple in the city. The monks and disciples plan to go and observe. If the donor is interested, you can also go together and listen to the lecture.
listen."
Gu Fuzhou twitched the corner of his mouth: "I think it's better to forget it. I don't believe in Buddhism, so all I heard was in vain."
Miao Ben did not give much advice and recited Amitabha with a smile.
When Qu Le and Jue Yu were done shopping, Miao Ben was about to take Jue Yu to Thousand Birds Temple. The group was about to be divided into two groups and go their separate ways. Qu Le was a little reluctant to leave. She touched Jue Yu's smooth little head: "
If I have time in the future, I will go back to Chidori Temple to see you."
It was rare that Jue Yu didn't slap her hands off this time: "You keep your word!"
Qu Le raised her hands and swore: "I promise it will count!"
Miao Ben clasped his hands together and said: "There is no banquet in the world that must come to an end. The poor monks, masters and disciples will say goodbye to each other. Please be careful on the road and take care of yourself, Amitabha."
Qu Le: "Well, you should also take care of yourself. Goodbye!"
Miao Ben took Jue Yu away from another fork in the road. Looking at their backs, one big and one small, Qu Le felt a little disappointed. Gu Fuzhou took the opportunity to come over and put his hand around her shoulders, smiling mischievously.
: "Don't be disappointed, you still have me, right?"
Qule poked him with her elbow and looked at him with disgust: "Get your hands off my shoulders!"
Gu Fuzhou grinned in pain, let go of her shoulders, and gritted his teeth and said: "You are such a ruthless woman, be careful not to get married in the future!"
"I don't need to worry about my aunt's marriage. You should take care of yourself first. If you dare to do anything casually again, my aunt will kill you!" Qu Le raised her chin and snorted, turning around.
Go forward.
Gu Fuzhou whispered in a low voice: "A good man doesn't fight with women, and I don't have the same level of experience as you!"
Qule stopped and turned back to glare at him: "What did you say?"
Gu Fuzhou immediately changed his mind: "I said that you are really a woman and you are as majestic as a man. You were really a hero among women back then, hahaha!"
What kind of nonsense are these? Qu Le turned around and continued walking, ignoring this snake.
The most direct way for Qu Le to find out information about Xiao Yu and the others is to go to the inn to find someone. However, there are not only 300 but also 200 inns in the whole city of Xiya. The three of them alone cannot go to each one.
try to find.
Regarding this problem, Gu Fuzhou put forward his little suggestion: "We can go to the black market to buy information."
The so-called black market, as the name suggests, is an illegal institution that is not protected by the government. Most of the people doing business here have some underworld background and are not easy to mess with. The most important thing is that in the black market, everything can be sold, including
Including all kinds of news, anyway, there are only things you can't think of, and there is no black market that doesn't sell them.
Gu Fuzhou was very familiar with this kind of place. He took Qu Le and Qu Lang to the door of the largest brothel in the city. Qu Le raised his head and looked at the big golden signboard, which read "Zuixiang House" in three golden characters.
.
Her expression was troubled: "Is it really appropriate for us to visit a place like this in broad daylight?"
Could it be that you can come here at night? Also, in this situation, shouldn’t the focus of normal people’s attention be on “How can a girl enter a place like a brothel?” Is Nima pregnant?
How self-conscious are you for a girl?! Gu Fuzhou really wanted to complain about her, but now he had serious business, so he decided to endure it for the time being. He said: "This is the entrance to the black market, and it closes at night. Come with me."
.Don’t talk when you get in, and don’t run around and look around. If you get into trouble in a place like this, it will be difficult to solve it. You should be careful."
Qu Le and Qu Lang nodded obediently: "Oh."
It was rare to see Qu Le being so obedient. Gu Fuzhou was so moved that he almost cried. He walked into Zuixiang Tower first, followed by Qu Le and Qu Lang.
As soon as he passed the purchase threshold, a strong fragrance of powder rushed towards him, making Qu Le choke and sneeze.
She rubbed her nose vigorously. The scent of a place like Emma was so pungent!
The interior of Zuixiang Building is very luxurious. It is indeed the most famous gold-selling cave in West Asia City. Everywhere is filled with the decadent atmosphere of wealth and wealth.
In the empty lobby on the first floor, there were no guests. Only a few turtle slaves were sitting and taking a nap. Gu Fuzhou stepped forward and knocked on the table. The turtle slaves were awakened. They stretched themselves and yawned loudly: "Here
It’s closed during the day, so you can come back later.”
Gu Fuzhou: "We are not here to drink wine, we are here to buy things."
One of the oldest turtle slaves raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "What are you here to buy?"
Gu Fuzhou: "Of course I'm here to buy what I want to buy."
Turtle Slave: "What do you want to buy it for?"
"Use this to buy it." Gu Fuzhou magically took out a silver ingot and gently placed it on the table. "Is this enough money?"
Gui Numen's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up and put the silver ingot into his arms. They changed from their previous casualness and said very diligently: "Come on, come on, come with us this way."
They led Gu Fuzhou and others through the lobby on the first floor, to the backyard, walked around the back garden several times, and then entered a warehouse. The turtle slaves worked together to pull open a hidden floor, revealing an underground passage
, it was pitch black at the end of the passage, and it was hard to see what was going on underneath.
The oldest turtle slave took a torch and walked into the underground passage first. The firelight illuminated the passage, and Qu Le finally saw clearly that there was a row of long stairs at the entrance of the passage.
She looked at Gu Fuzhou, who nodded to her, indicating that she could go down.
So the three of them followed the turtle slave into the underground passage. After descending the stairs, they walked straight for a few steps and came to an iron door.
Turtle slave knocked on the door, and not long after, they were pulled away from inside, and a young man's head popped out from behind the door. This young man looked very smart. When he saw that the person knocking on the door was Turtle slave, he smiled.
He asked: "Is there business again?"
Gui Nu nodded, opened the door, and walked in with Gu Fuzhou and others.
This is a huge underground secret room. There are already many people inside. Some people are squatting on the ground. There is a piece of cloth in front of them. There are some messy things on the cloth that they want to sell or exchange.
For all the products, there is a small wooden sign placed next to the product, which clearly states the price of all the products, and the price is clearly marked.
Others were wandering around, obviously looking for the goods they needed. Many of them were wearing black cloaks, with their entire faces hidden under the hoods, making it impossible to see their true appearance and gender.
.
Gu Fuzhou said: "There are many customers with special identities who come here to trade. They don't want their identities to be discovered. For safety reasons, they use black cloaks to disguise themselves. Black cloaks are provided for free in the black market. You need
?"
Qu Le stretched out her hand very generously: "Give me a set!"
So Qu Lang also wanted to do a set.
The three of them put on long and large black cloaks, wrapping themselves tightly and airtight. Qule's mouth was hidden behind the cloth, so her voice was a bit muffled when she spoke. She asked: "Who are we going to buy now?"
information?"
Gu Fuzhou: "Go this way, you follow me."
Under the leadership of Gu Fuzhou, Qu Le met a very short old man. He looked to be seventy or eighty years old, but he was only less than one meter tall. He was as compact as a dwarf. He was sitting
On a stone bench, there was also a small stall in front of it, but there were no products on the stall. There was only a wooden sign with one line written on it... Just a question, ten taels of silver.
A question costs ten taels of silver. Why don't you go and grab it?! Qu Le looked at the dwarf old man in front of him as if he were a liar, and whispered to Gu Fuzhou: "Are you sure he is really reliable?"
Gu Fuzhou: "Don't worry, his name is Chen Wuming, he is a well-known Bai Xiaosheng in the world. If you want to know anything, you can ask him. His whereabouts are usually erratic. I have heard of him appearing in the black market before.
But I’m not sure, so I planned to take you here to try my luck today, but we didn’t expect it to happen to us. Our luck is so good!”
Hearing what he said, Qu Le had no choice but to temporarily give up her doubts and decided to wait and see what happened. The money to buy the news was not hers anyway.
Gu Fuzhou took out a ten-tael silver ingot, placed it in front of Chen Wuming, and asked, "Do you know where the envoy team sent by Southern Xinjiang is?"
Chen Wuming, who was closing his eyes to rest, opened his eyes. He picked up the silver ingot, put it to his mouth and bit it. After confirming that it was genuine, he put the silver ingot into his sleeve and replied: "They are on their way to Xiya City.
We should be able to arrive in Sea City tomorrow afternoon."
After getting the answer she wanted, Qule felt a little relieved, hoping that the information about the dwarf old man was correct.
Gu Fuzhou glanced at her: "It's rare to meet Chen Wuming. If you have anything else you want to ask, I'll ask you immediately."
Qu Le thought for a moment: "I want to know what my grandfather...that is, Elder Lan of Southern Xinjiang is like in the palace now?"
Gu Fuzhou took out another silver ingot and put it in front of Chen Wuming. Chen Wuming picked up the silver ingot and thought about it for a moment before slowly replying: "Your grandpa lived a good life in the palace. The King of Snow Region was very polite to him, but
You'd better get him out of the palace quickly, because someone will soon do something against him."
Qu Le quickly asked: "Who wants to do harm to my grandpa?"
"This information is a high-level secret. If you want to buy it, ten taels of silver is not enough."
This old guy is still raising the price?! Qu Le looked at him speechlessly: "Then how much do you want?"
Chen Wuming held out five fingers: "At least this number."
Qu Le: "Fifty Liang?"
"It's five hundred taels of gold."
Damn it, why don't you just go and grab it?! Qu Le didn't want to be taken advantage of. She grabbed Gu Fuzhou's wrist and said, "Let's go back! Stop talking nonsense with this guy!" (To be continued)
