Chapter Seventy-Three: Kelsang Ma's Tavern

Hodge's caravan returned to Agra with a large collection of precious oriental porcelain and tea cubes, but the shipment worth a thousand gold guruguls did not make a splash in the bustling main city of Agra.

There were so many caravans that came and went in Agra every day, and even though the desert trade routes were full of swordsmen and dangers, and many caravans were gone, it still did not stop the greedy merchants from forming one caravan after another, large and small, and rushing to the East in pursuit of the coveted wealth.

Every caravan leader who returned safely would go to Kelsang Ma's tavern for a while to pay a visit to this beautiful and charming widow of Agra.

I heard that the desert's greatest bandit force, Lord Gali, the Desert Eagle, is her minister.

As long as enough bribes were given to Kelsang Ma, the caravan's journey through the desert would most likely be uneventful, and the chances of encountering a large group of robbers were very small.

Wenshu followed the caravan, sat on a camel, and swayed all the way, and in the evening, the caravan arrived at Agra.

The caravan passed through the noisy bazaars of Agra, and to the enthusiastic shouts of the market vendors, the caravan slowly arrived at its destination, the coastal pier of Agra.

Master Hodge, the leader of the group, ordered his retinue and merchants to unload the goods on the camel's back at the docks, and soon the sailors jumped out of the big ship, and they took the tea and porcelain out of the boxes and cloth bags, counted them all together, and finally the workers loaded them onto the big ship, and a pot-bellied maritime merchant settled a small box of gold coins to Hodge and his men.

Agra is the only city in the desert near the sea and holds the economic lifeblood of the entire desert.

When Hodge received the money, he gave the rest of the matter to his retinue, and he himself led Wen Shu on a camel to Kelsang Ma's tavern.

Kelsanma's tavern is not as big as expected, just an ordinary tavern.

It's the weekend, and many people choose to find a tavern for a drink after a long day of non-stop work.

At night, Kelsang Ma's tavern was very lively, but there were not enough helpers in the shop, except for the proprietress widow Kelsang Ma, there was only one guy in charge of drinking, this poor little fellow was only thirteen years old, and he also worked as a cashier, and at the moment he was busy with wine jugs and towels.

Everyone knows that Kelsang Ma is rich, but they don't know what she spends her money on.

She is beautiful, young, and intelligent, but at the same time mean, cold, and has a heart like iron.

It is rumored that Kelsang Ma's husband died early because the beautiful Kelsang Ma was simply unwilling to pay for his visit to the witch doctor.

He could only rely on the cheapest wine to numb his pain, and slowly died of illness in the cold underground cellar.

After his death, he was buried far away in the desert by Kelsang Ma, because the desert would not ask Kelsang Ma to collect the tomb fee!

No one wants to work in Kelsang Ma's tavern, and the stingy Kelsang Ma doesn't pay anyone except for a lunch with only one potato.

"Good evening Hodge, it seems you're in luck. ”

The beautiful and voluptuous Kelsang Ma is a mixed-race child, and her face has a distinctly mixed Chinese and Western facial features.

She has a high nose bridge and sexy thick lips, yellow skin and big eyes that complement each other, with an alternative style that ordinary women in the Western Regions do not have.

"It's all thanks to you, beautiful Lady Kelsang Ma. ”

Hodge stuffed a bag of silver coins into Kelsang Ma's hand, Kelsang Ma checked it with his hand, and knew that there were a hundred silver gruul inside, her beautiful two eyebrows were wrinkled together, and her tone was a little unhappy: "Lord Hodge, everyone knows that you have earned at least a thousand gold gruul this trip, but you only used such a small amount of silver to send me away, don't you plan to run the business again in the future?"

Hodge was very aggrieved:

"Beautiful Lady Kelsanmar, I still need to pay for my retinue and other merchants, and in the end I won't have more than a hundred gold guru in my hand, so I'll have to keep some to live, right?"

"Who is this little girl?" Kelsang Ma did not continue to argue with him, and looked at Wen Shu with a pair of beautiful eyes, this was a dirty, thin girl, who looked to be only ten years old at most.

"She is the daughter of a distant relative of mine who wants to come to Agra to find a job. ”

Hodge looked serious.

Kelsang Ma rolled her eyes: "You know my rules here, Hodge, there is no pay, only lunch. ”

"It doesn't matter, there are too many children in this child's family, and there is no longer enough food to feed her. ”

In this way, Wen Shu settled down in Kelsang Ma's tavern.

There were a lot of people in the tavern at night, and Kelsang Ma asked Wen Shu to wash her face, then threw her a wine jug, and got busy in a hurry.

Until the third watch in the middle of the night, the drinkers dispersed, Wen Shu pretended to be very tired, and quietly approached the young man to ask: "Hey, the tavern business is good, why are there only two of us?"

The young man was already tired and paralyzed, and he didn't have much strength to take care of Wen Shu, so he rolled his eyes and went back to the kitchen to sleep, and there was a small cabinet in the kitchen, which was his small bed.

"Little one, good physical fitness. ”

Although Wen Shu tried his best to pretend to be tired, after such a large amount of work, he did not faint, and Bunsheng was a kind of strength.

Kelsanma was in a good mood, and for the sake of Hodge's introduction to a new guy who did a decent job, she decided not to care about the lack of silver guru this time.

She arranged the attic of the tavern for Wen Shu to be a bedroom.

"Have a good rest, little one, and see you tomorrow at noon. ”

Gesang Ma walked down the stairs in a curling manner, Wen Shu turned to look at the dusty attic, and casually performed a dust removal technique.

The attic was refreshed, and she climbed onto the creaking cot and looked down at her situation.

"It's so real. ”

This was the first feeling that this illusion brought to Wen Shu.

If he hadn't known in advance that this was an illusion, Wen Shu would have even thought that he had crossed over again!

Wen Shu looked past the dim light and looked at himself in the dilapidated dressing mirror, the child in the mirror looked completely different from Wen Shu himself, slender and thin, with yellow hair, with a typical Western Regions girl face, looking malnourished.

Wen Shu looked down at the dirty clothes on his body again,

Except for the change in appearance and dress, there is no difference in the others, the cultivation is still there, and the water spirit bead in the sea of qi floats quietly, condensing her spiritual power every moment.

According to Su Mu, most of the illusions he experienced required the use of brain power, after all, he was just a mortal, and if a monk appeared in the illusion, he would definitely lose.

Depending on the strength, will the difficulty of the illusion be different?

Along the way, Wen Shu has been seriously inquiring.

Whether it was the vendors in the bazaar, the merchants of the desert caravans, the maritime merchants at the docks, the sailors, the drinkers in the taverns, the little boys who worked together, or even Gesang Ma, these people were ordinary people, and they did not have any spiritual power in them.

Su Mu said that the time experienced in the illusion will be very long, and it will not be liberated until the illusion is cracked.

Wen Shusi said for a moment, and finally put down the jade smoke in his hand: "Let's take a look first, it's really not good, I'll use the illusion breaking technique to forcibly crack the illusion." ”
