Volume 1 Three Lives Chapter 199 The mysterious black robe
"Father, let's just leave, but Your Majesty said in the holy decree that he would give us three hundred king-level spars. Hou Ming thought of the content of the holy decree, and said in a somewhat anxious voice.
Since the morning, there have been all kinds of noises coming from their Hou Mansion, and he also went out to take a look halfway, knowing that now they are almost penniless, so he naturally misses these three hundred king-level spars, and these three hundred king-level crystals are originally a lot of wealth. Hou Ming's wealth accumulated for half his life is not as good as so many king-level spars.
Glancing lightly at his stupid son, Hou Tian said with some hatred: "If you don't want to die, then wait for those spars here." With that, he didn't say anything more, and walked straight out of the study.
Seeing this, Hou Shi on the side glared at Hou Ming helplessly, and then followed her husband's steps and walked outside.
Hou Ming scratched the back of his head in confusion, looking very puzzled. After all, in his concept, although three hundred king-level spars were indeed a lot, they were just a drop in the bucket for the emperor, and he couldn't deduct them at all. It's just that although he was puzzled, he didn't continue to get to the bottom of it, but just rushed in the direction where the two left.
He never thought that if Yuwenzhuang really planned to give them these three hundred king-level spars, he would send them along with this holy decree.
In the afternoon, Hou Tian, the head of the household department, officially stepped down from the post of head of the household department, and left the imperial city quietly with his family in a somewhat dilapidated carriage.
After the carriage drove away from the gate of the imperial city, Yuwenzhuang smiled softly and said, "I'm still sensible, so I'll take your life." In front of him, a strangely shaped stone was flashing with colorful light, forming a light curtain in mid-air, and the scene in the light curtain was the scene of Hou Tian's family leaving the imperial city.
In the evening, another procession led by a small eunuch left the palace. Subsequently, the people in the entire imperial city knew that Songbai, the former secretary of the Criminal Department, was killed, and Guo Si, the former servant of the Criminal Department, succeeded to the post of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and thoroughly investigated the murder case of Songbai's entire mansion.
As for the position of the head of the household department that was vacated because of Hou Tian's departure, it was temporarily vacant.
After Yusheng got the news, he laughed a few times with a strange face, and then left his residence quickly and walked towards the courtyard of Chen Bai and the others.
Chen Bai was guarding the phantom sound that had entered the cultivation state, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the courtyard door, when he was very vigilant and released his divine sense, after seeing that it was the sound of rain knocking on the door, he straightened up a little angrily, and after waking up the phantom sound, the two walked towards the courtyard together.
As soon as the courtyard gate was opened, Yusheng rushed into the courtyard with excitement on his face, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, Miss Qingxue, guess what happened in the imperial city today?!"
Seeing him like this, Chen Bai showed a curious expression very cooperatively, and urged: "What's the matter, Brother Yu, don't sell it." ”
Compared with his somewhat perfunctory questioning, the interested look in the phantom eyes on the side was much more real, and he must have been really interested.
The vanity in his heart was slightly satisfied, and the smile on Yusheng's face became even brighter, and he said with a smile: "Early this morning, news came out in the imperial city that the entire family of Shangshu Songbai of the Criminal Department was killed, and even the three-year-old child was not spared. In other words, from today onwards, no one will seek revenge on you for the incident that Brother Xu killed Songle in anger yesterday. ”
"That's not bad. Hearing this news, the smile on Chen Bai's face became a little more sincere, after all, for such a thing as one less enemy, I'm afraid no one will be unhappy.
"What do you mean it's not bad?!, it's obviously great!" Yusheng corrected with a serious face.
"Ahh!!h
After announcing this, Yusheng fell silent and watched the two of them quietly.
Knowing that he would definitely not rush over just for this trivial matter, Chen Bai smiled slightly when he saw this: "Brother Yu has a lot of opportunities, there must be something else I want to tell the two of us." ”
Yusheng didn't have a trace of embarrassment when he heard this, but instead had a relieved expression on his face, and patted his chest a little exaggeratedly and said, "Huh! Brother Xu, you finally smell it, if you don't say it again, I will be suffocated to death." ”
Then, he lowered his voice a little mysteriously, stared at Chen Bai and said, "Brother Xu, I'll take you to a good place today, will you go?"
"What's a good place?" Chen Bai was also intrigued, and then asked his words.
"Black market. "The sound of the rain didn't sell it this time, and said it bluntly.
Hearing that it was this kind of trading place again, the fire of interest that had just ignited in Chen Bai's eyes was immediately extinguished, and the whole person seemed to be lacking in interest.
Seeing the change in his mood, the smile on Yusheng's face did not change at all, and he just said softly: "Brother Xu doesn't seem to be very interested in this black market, oops, it's a pity, the black market is a place that produces good things all year round, and it is said that there are still people who have found good things from it that can directly improve their cultivation." ”
Although he knew that this was said to be a bit nonsense, Chen Bai was still tempted, his situation was very special, he only relied on normal cultivation to achieve ascension in a few lifetimes, let alone become a heavenly immortal. Therefore, this kind of heavenly material and earth treasure that can improve his cultivation has an irresistible charm for him.
"Brother Yu is joking again, isn't it? How could I not be interested? It's just that Brother Yu, you know, Qingxue and I are both shy in our pockets, and we really don't have any money to buy this thing, and we can't do this kind of thing that always makes Brother Yu break the bank. Chen Bai said with a smile, but the implication in his words was already very obvious.
It's just that this time Yusheng didn't pat his chest and say anything like he paid for it, but glanced at the two of them with some ill will, and said with a smile: "Since Brother Xu and Miss Qingxue are from outside, they must have some spirit stones in their hands." This black market is composed of a group of cultivators, and in it, the spar is not a hard currency, but the spirit stone is. ”
Hearing him say this, although he was a little disappointed that he couldn't slaughter him again, Chen Bai's heart was also relieved. If he wanted anything else, he might not really have it, but he didn't lack this spirit stone at all.
Thinking of this, the smile on Chen Bai's face became even brighter, and he immediately said, "In that case, when will we leave?"
"Hahaha! Brother Xu is really anxious, but now it is not far from the time for the black market to open, let's leave at this time, the carriage outside has been prepared, let's set off now." After a few laughs, the sound of rain pointed to the outside of the courtyard and spoke.
Regarding the fact that he would prepare the means of travel in advance every time, Chen Bai expressed 10,000 satisfaction, and immediately looked at the phantom sound beside him, with a slight hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Fengmu glanced at him charmingly, and Phantom Yin said angrily: "You two have already talked about it, and you still ask me what to do?" ”
Hearing her say this, Chen Bai scratched her head a little embarrassedly, laughed a few times, and then took her hand and walked out behind the sound of rain that could no longer stand the two of them leaving first.
Not far from the courtyard, a carriage with black body and no extra decoration quietly parked there, usually wearing silver shining armor, and the knights on horses also changed into black clothes at this time, and their faces were covered, and the horses under their crotches were nowhere to be found.
All the way to the carriage, the sound of the rain turned around and waited quietly for the two.
There was no frills in the carriage, and black cloth was covered everywhere. After the three of them entered, Yusheng picked up a set of black robes from his side and put them on his body, then turned to look at Chen Bai and said, "Brother Xu, Miss Qingxue, you should also change into black robes, this is the rule of the black market." ”
Hearing him say this, Chen Bai and the others noticed that there was a set of robes next to them that were the same as those worn by Yusheng, so they put them on their bodies directly. So the three people in the carriage all became black-robed mysterious people.
After putting on this thing, Chen Bai couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion, because he found that this thing actually had the effect of blocking his divine sense, which did not mean that he couldn't see through other people wearing this thing, but that his divine sense couldn't radiate through this robe at all.
Chen Bai, who discovered this problem, immediately quit, leaned forward slightly, and was about to speak, but his hand was suppressed by the phantom sound beside him, and then he heard her voice: "The cost of this robe must be not low, and it makes Brother Yu break the bank." ”
"No, no, no, it's nothing. It's just that there are some side effects of this thing, and I think both of you have already noticed it, but don't worry, it won't affect you. The rain sounded comfortingly.
It's just that after listening to what he said, Chen Bai didn't feel comforted at all, and couldn't help but have a suspicious look in his eyes, but out of confidence in his own strength and curiosity about this black market, he finally chose to nod and didn't say anything more.
After a few more moments of silence, the carriage began to move slowly.
Although his divine sense was sealed, Chen Bai's eyes were still not blocked, and after feeling the carriage move for a while, he opened the small curtain on the side with some curiosity, only to find that there was a completely unfamiliar scene outside the carriage.
I saw that they were walking in a wilderness at this moment, and there were a few wolf howls from time to time in the woods in the distance.
