Chapter 499: Black Cave Mountain (Chapter 3)

Early the next morning, Xu Sang came to find Chen Fan, "Mr. Mo, we are all ready, and we are ready to go." Xu Sang said in a somewhat hurried tone.

At the door of the courtyard, Chen Fan saw that Xu Sang was holding something carefully wrapped in a red cloth in his hand, and he didn't know what the ultimate was.

Seeing Xu Sang like this, his face was still a little embarrassed and reluctant.

Reach out and gently stroke it.

Seeing Chen Fan, Xu Sang squeezed out a smile on his face, "I'm troublesome Mr. Mo this time, please." As he spoke, Xu Sang stretched out his hand.

"Little things. Chen Fan bowed slightly.

Behind this Xu Sang, there are two people standing, it should be the two masters of the Congenital Nine Realms in Xujia Village that Xu Sang said, one is over seventy years old, but he looks like he is only fifty, his face is quite wrinkled, and he looks worried, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

The other person is only twenty-seven or eighteen, very young and vigorous, one of these two people is named Xu Nan, and the other is named Xu Beicheng.

Xu Nan twisted his eyebrows, glanced at Chen Fan up and down, and said in a deep voice, "Xu Sang, I said that it is enough to have the two of us, why bother looking for an outsider? Besides, we don't know the details of this person." Xu Nan's eyes were full of vigilance when he looked at Chen Fan.

Obviously, he was still guarding against Chen Fan's origin and character, and Chen Fan saw a trace of hostility in his eyes.

Probably he was originally a genius and the hope of the next generation that this Xujia Village naturally did not allow, and there was a ninety percent probability that when this Xu Sang was old, he would hand over the position of the agent of this Xujia Village to him!

But at this moment, a foreigner Mo Fan suddenly appeared, and this person was about the same age as him, and his cultivation was the same high.

This made him, who has always claimed to be a genius, quite frustrated in his confidence, so when he looked at Chen Fan's eyes, he immediately became a little more hostile.

"Xiao Nan. Xu Sang's face sank, "How can you talk like that, Mr. Mo is also kind enough to help, this time out of the village to do business, unity is important, such words can not be said again." ”

Xu Nan likes it, this kid has good talent and drive, but he is rough and arrogant, and this problem needs to be changed.

So Xu Sang often beat him.

After educating Xu Nan for two sentences, Xu Sang turned his head and said with a hint of apology, "Mr. Mo is embarrassed, let me smile." ”

"Nothing. Chen Fan smiled and glanced at this Xu Nan, this Xu Nan is a junior in Chen Fan's eyes, Chen Fan will not be naΓ―ve enough to fight with this kind of person, Xu Nan snorted coldly in a low voice, did not argue, but was obviously not convinced.

Xu Sang took this group of people out of the village, and on the way out of the village, Xu Sang talked about this incident worriedly.

"Mr. Mo, in the past two years, the city lord's mansion has been non-stop, and the villages near us are overwhelmed, and they can't come up with the money to pay this tax, and if they don't pay the tax, the city lord's mansion will send someone down to slaughter the village. Xu Sang sighed, "Hey, so there's no way, we can only take out some old books to sell." ”

"I'm sorry for my ancestors. ”

"This time, I made an appointment with people from several nearby villages to trade in a market at the foot of the Black Cave Mountain, and I sold some things on hand, exchanged some spirit stones to go back, and paid this year's taxes. Xu Sang's sideburns had a trace of gray hair, and it could be seen that the pressure from the City Lord's Mansion this time had made him very stressed.

"Oh. Chen Fan nodded, there was no expression on his face, this matter had nothing to do with Chen Fan, Chen Fan really lacked enthusiasm.

"Hmph, what are you doing with him. Xu Nan snorted coldly on the side, "When our village gives birth to a powerhouse of the Triple Heaven, the City Lord's Mansion will naturally no longer put pressure on us." Xu Nan longed for the way, it was obvious that this so-called strong man of the future power triple heaven, he was talking about himself.

In the nearby villages, as long as someone can reach the Triple Heaven of Transformation Strength, they will be recruited by the City Lord's Mansion and become one of the staff members of the City Lord's Mansion.

If you become a staff member, the tax of the village as a whole will be reduced by 30%, and the villagers will be able to get by. The City Lord's Mansion is using this method to win over people and ensure the longevity of the City Lord's Mansion.

And this is also a common means for the Northern Qi royal family to win over Keqing and crack down on local forces.

If these villagers under the City Lord's Mansion want to get rid of such a status quo, the best way is to break through and become a master of the Triple Heaven of Transformation and Strength, and be recruited into the City Lord's Mansion, which is their biggest dream.

As for entering the City Lord's Mansion, once he can maneuver around in so many guest mansions, and finally succeed in breaking through to the Four Heavens of Transformation Strength, it is not yet known even if he replaces the city lord and becomes the new city lord!

Such stories have happened quite a few times in various parts of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Ninety out of nine city lords are also on the throne in this way.

"Become a triple heaven of chemical strength. Xu Sang sighed, "It's too difficult, forget it, don't think about it yet." Xu Sang looked forward, "Let's take care of the things at hand first." ”

Out of the village, there are muddy paths all the way, the nearby villages are not very far away, the four people present are all congenital masters, with strong foot strength, and it is not a problem to catch up with normal people ten times the road a day, if it is not for Chen Fan and the others, Xu Sang will fly over.

There is a mountain between the villages, the Black Cave Mountain, and there are nineteen bends of dangerous water under the Black Cave Mountain, and there are not a few villagers who are drowned every year, and they gradually become famous.

And near this black cave mountain, this side is a three-way place, so a market square has been formed, and some private transactions between villages are carried out here, this market square belongs to the nature of the underground black market square, and the scale is already very large among these villages, and this time it is seven villages and others gathered together in one breath.

The scale of this transaction is not small.

It wasn't until the evening that Xu Sang and the others arrived here, panting, Xu Sang reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in a deep voice, "It's here, it's ahead." "As far as the eye can see, the black mountains in the distance are continuous, and the shadows are full of shadows, like a ghostly shadow, revealing an eerie smell.

And at the foot of this mountain, there is a piece of quaint stone buildings, these buildings are relatively simple, most of them are directly built with stones, quite rough, here is the black cave mountain, the underground small market.

If no one leads the way, few people really know about this place.

"Well, the last time I was here was three years ago. Xu Nan said excitedly, "I don't know if I can change some good things to go back this time, I still want to get a spirit soldier." Xu Nan looked regretful, but the spirit soldiers were too extravagant, and with the conditions of the village, I was afraid that they would not be able to get it.

Xu Nan's eyes were gloomy and he sighed.

Xu Chengcheng, a middle-aged man next to him who had never spoken, finally put away his more worried and wandering expression, looked forward, and said in a deep voice, "I suggest not to move in first, this time the City Lord's Mansion has forced people from several nearby villages to be anxious, and some people will take risks if they can't keep it." ”

"In this city, there are no constraints, and there are fewer killings and goods?"

"It is recommended that we stay outside the Black Cave Mountain tonight, a little away from the Black Cave Mountain, on the one hand, it is safer, and on the other hand, we can also observe whether there are any problems in this market, if there is an accident, we can leave as soon as possible. ”

"Tomorrow morning, when the people from the other villages have arrived, we will enter again, and when the time comes, even if anyone wants to take a risk, I am afraid that we will have to weigh it. ”

"Hmm. Xu Sang couldn't help but nodded, his expression was a little serious, Xu Wucheng was still more thoughtful.

"Ah, is it so necessary?" Xu Nan was dissatisfied, living in this mountain forest for a night of mosquito bites, as well as snakes and insects, how uncomfortable? This market square is in front of him, why don't you live in it? Xu Nan couldn't help but say, "It's too timid, how can there be so many things, haven't they been very calm in the past few years." ”

"This... Xu Sang groaned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Chen Fan, "What do you think about Mr. Mo?"

It's a trivial matter, but he also has to consider the guest's feelings, and if the guest refuses to sleep out, they are just trying to be careful, and they can't force others to do so.

Chen Fan pondered for a moment, judging from the conversations of these people, there should be no one in these villages who can threaten him.

But all the people who can ascend to the Triple Heaven of Transformation Power have been recruited into the City Lord's Mansion, so most of the rest are some agents of the First Heaven and the Second Heaven of Transformation Strength.

However, this Xu Zhicheng said that it makes sense, and it is better to be careful when doing things outside.

"I agree with what Mr. Xu said. ”

Xu Fucheng couldn't help but glance at Chen Fan in surprise, and Xu Nan next to him was dissatisfied, and snorted coldly, "Coward!"

"Well, we'll stay outside the Black Cave Mountain tonight. Xu Sang clapped his hands and decided.
