Kangji's inn is located in the middle of the most bustling eastern market in the city.

This bazaar not only sells horses, cattle and sheep, but also goods from all over the Tibetan country, such as barley wine, Tibetan knives, Tibetan carpets, yak hides, and even porcelain tea and well-made silk from the Tang Dynasty.

But that's not the highlight, the biggest feature of this bazaar is the slaves, who are sold as goods like cattle, sheep and horses. Often the price of a slave is not worth the price of a strong ox.

Human life is cheaper than oxen, and slaves are kept in cages like cats and dogs for passers-by to admire, while slave traders carry wine bags in one hand and sell them in the other. Guo Ye traveled all the way, and he couldn't bear it, where has this kind of thing ever happened in Datang? Even when the Tang Dynasty was in the midst of a famine, selling sons and daughters was nothing more than that, right? This is the capital of Tibet? What a. Egg!

But now he didn't have time to pay attention to that, there were more important things waiting for him to do. That's the inn where you can feel like the Kangji family as much as possible.

Led by arsenic, the two of them walked through the bazaar to the area of the inn and tavern at the east end of the bazaar. Compared to the bazaars for trading, this area is particularly deserted.

But this place is the place where the three religions and nine streams of the city gather. Everywhere you look, you can see slave traders with scimitars hidden at their waists, and drunken Tibetan warriors.

"Your Excellency, it's here!"

Arsenic stopped, pointed to a three-story small wooden house in front of him, and whispered: "This is the inn opened by Kangji, because the location is not good and remote, and the business is quite deserted." But it doesn't matter, with the support of the money in our East Factory, Kang Ji is not short of this money. In addition to opening this inn to cover people's eyes, the purpose of opening this inn is to make friends with the three sects and nine streams in some cities, and try to collect as much information as possible for our use. ”

"Hmm~"

Guo Ye groaned lightly, skimmed his eyes to the left and right, and said with a wary expression: "Let's go in first, there are three sects and nine streams in this bazaar, so as not to be discovered by someone with a heart." ”

"Okay." Arsenic lifted his feet and entered the door of Kangji's inn.

As soon as the two appeared in the inn, they saw Tibetans sitting cross-legged on the velvet blanket boiling barley wine, chattering and talking nonsense in the Tibetan dialect.

At this moment, a short Tibetan with dark skin and pigtails on his head ran up to the counter, and he leaned down with an excited expression and was about to ask arsenic to say goodbye.

This person is none other than the innkeeper in Arsenic's mouth, Kangji.

"Ahem......"

Arsenic coughed twice and glared at him, stopping Kang Ji from bowing.

Only then did Kang Ji realize that there were still Tibetans drinking in the inn, and immediately returned to his normal complexion and asked, "Are the two guests here to stay at the hotel?" ”

Then he deliberately glanced at Guo Ye, and found that Lord Arsenic, who was usually afraid of him, was standing behind him, and secretly guessed, could it be that this person was even more powerful than Lord Arsenic?

Arsenic glared at him again and said, "Shopkeeper, find me two upper rooms and stay for a long time!" ”

She deliberately pronounced the word "long stay" quite strongly, Kang Ji heard the mystery, and immediately bent down and stretched out his hand to ask: "Yes, yes, this inn has the best upper room, and the two distinguished guests come with me!" ”

With that, he turned around and walked inside, passed through the front hall of the inn to the corner of a staircase in the inner room, and said, "The upper room is upstairs, please follow me upstairs!" ”

Knock knock~

A dense sound of footsteps sounded on the stairs, and the three of them went up to the second floor.

Kang Ji led the two to a room in the deepest part of the second floor, stretched out his hand to push the door in, and whispered: "This room never entertains guests, not only is it hidden, but if there is any trouble, just push open the window in the room, and you can see a ladder." Down the ladder is the villain's inner courtyard, and the well in the inner courtyard is a dry well. The villain has a hidden compartment on the inner side of the well, and a long, deep tunnel is dug in the hidden compartment. The tunnel leads to a hill outside the city's east gate. Therefore, this room is the safest, and only if there is any movement at the door of the inn, you can leave the inn in the shortest possible time, or even leave the city. ”

Guo Ye praised sincerely: "Thoughtful! ”

Arsenic snorted and waved at Kangji, motioning for him to come into the room before talking.

As soon as the three of them entered the room, they only heard a pop~

Kang Ji knelt down in front of arsenic, banged his head three times, and shouted excitedly: "The villain Kang Ji has seen arsenic... Arsenic-sama, I didn't expect the villain to be able to see arsenic in his lifetime, it's really a living Buddha bless, a living Buddha blessed! ”

Guo Ye and Arsenic were suddenly taken aback by Kangji's sudden move, and Arsenic hurriedly shouted: "Kangji, hurry up, it's all family, and I'm very happy to see you." Come, let me introduce you to you, this is Master Guo from Datang, he is the real master of our Dongchang, the master of all our Dongchang fans. You've seen Master Guo soon! ”

"Lord Guo?"

Kang Ji had obviously heard of Guo Ye's identity and deeds a long time ago, and after listening to the introduction of arsenic, he was even more excited than just now, and he was stunned to kneel, bang bang bang ~~~

Kowtowed six times in a row, Kang Ji shouted with a crying voice and a little choked: "Lord Guo, Lord Guo, you are Lord Guo, Kang Ji can have today, all thanks to the East Factory, all thanks to the well-being of Lord Guo." Kang Ji swore on the first day he entered the East Factory that he would be a member of the East Factory in this life, and this life would be sold to Lord Guo forever. ”

Boom~!

There was another heavy slap on the head, which made Guo Ye's heart hurt.

After listening to Kang Ji's formal salute, he shouted in a serious tone: "Kang Ji, a native of Tubo, has seen Lord Guo!" ”

"Brother Kangji, hurry up!"

Guo Ye hurriedly lifted Kang Ji up, and then said: "Don't kowtow so indiscriminately in the future, Tubo slaves have to kowtow to their masters every day, but you are no longer a lowly slave." Since the first day you entered the East Factory, you have been a member of my East Factory. Since it is a Dongchang person, it is a family. Remember, we don't want to kowtow to the East Factory. ”

"Yes, yes, yes~" Kang Ji's mood recovered a little after he got up, and then said, "Kang Ji is happy today, so happy." I didn't expect to see so many old people in the past in just one day, and I was lucky enough to meet the legendary Lord Guo. I'm excited, I'm so excited, I really don't know what kind of great virtue I've accumulated in my life, I got rid of my slavery and entered the East Factory, and I can still work with so many amazing adults! ”

Guo Ye smiled: "Kang Ji, your mouth doesn't look like a Tubo person!" ”

Looking at Kang Ji's appearance and tone of voice, Guo Ye not only thought of Guan Jiu, who was far away in Chang'an.

"Huh?"

However, arsenic heard that there was something wrong with Kang Ji's words, and not only asked strangely, "Kang Ji, you said that you have seen so many old people in just one day, could it be that in addition to me and Lord Guo, there are other old friends who have come to your inn today?" ”

"Huh?" Kang Ji let out a sigh of surprise, then slapped his forehead sharply, and said embarrassedly, "Look at me, I was so happy and excited that I was patronizing just now, and I actually left such a big matter behind." Lord Guo, Lord Arsenic, that's right, you two are not the first to come to the inn, there have been several groups of old people before. Today is really a great joy, and we are gathered together on this day! ”

Guo Ye and Arsenic glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of curiosity.

Then arsenic urged, "Tell me quickly, who has come back to you?" ”
