Li Zhilian changed into men's clothes, looking like a slender and thin teenager, she looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly became nervous

This is to run errands, not to go on a date, what is there to be nervous about, thinking that she took a deep breath and strode out of the room

The west city of Lining City is the most chaotic place in the whole Lining City, where envoys from various countries live and set up stalls to buy and sell things

As noon approached, the people and squires in the city, the purchasers of the official mansions, and many female dependents were all grabbing all kinds of things on the street

Li Zhilian and Zhou Cheng were walking on the street, and there were many people around, so Li Zhilian had to pull Zhou Cheng's arm and ask, "Zhou Gongzi~ Where are we going?" ”

Zhou Cheng frowned: "Yuzhen Fang"

Li Zhilian quickly let go of his hand, smiled, and quickly followed, turning a corner, and the street fell silent

Li Zhilian glanced around curiously, and saw the words "Santang Valley" written on the shop on the left, she was stunned for a moment, and walked into the Santang Valley Pharmacy

Zhou Cheng then walked in after her and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

At this time, a young man walked out of it and made a bow with a smile: "What do you two need?" ”

Li Zhilian made a return salute expressionlessly: "How long has this store been open?" ”

The owner smiled: "It was opened on March 20th."

Li Zhilian nodded, glanced at the nine rows of long shelves facing her, on which large and small porcelains were placed, she approached and walked around and asked, "Is there ginseng from Xilin City here?" ”

The shopkeeper touched the two mustaches under his nose, smiled awkwardly, and asked, "The girl is from Xilin City?" ”

Li Zhilian turned around and pulled up Zhou Cheng's sleeves and left the Santang Valley

The shopkeeper was slightly surprised, and shouted at their backs, "You are paying for gold and silver, and you are welcome to come again."

Li Zhilian walked quickly to an intersection where there were more pedestrians than the street they had just entered, and she stopped

Zhou Cheng followed, with a strange feeling in his heart, but he didn't ask, just pointed to the street on the right with fewer pedestrians: "This way"

The two turned seven times and eight turns, and came to the middle of a song, Zhou Cheng's feet were deflected, and he turned into a side alley

There are only some simple wooden shacks on both sides, which are connected by black pressure, the gaps of the houses are full of sundries and garbage, and the sewage in the alleys is vertical and horizontal, and the smell is not small

Li Zhilian covered his mouth and nose and continued to walk with Zhou Cheng's steps

Zhou Cheng walked to a shack, knocked a few times, and opened the door with a probe

Zhou Cheng whispered something to him, and he opened the door

There is a hole behind the shack, which looks like just a few dilapidated sheds on the outside, but inside it has become a rather spacious Chase shop, with a desk and a seat, but the light is a little dim

After a bend, the shacks were connected, separated by countless rooms and earthen walls, and it was dark, like a labyrinth of tunnels

Li Zhilian's throat was dry, his heartbeat was a little faster, and he couldn't help clenching his fists

Zhou Cheng's pace slowed down, and he stood side by side with her, and said in a low voice: "No matter how prosperous the capital is, there are places where the sun can't shine."

Li Zhilian looked at him, walked a little bit, and continued to walk with him

They walked for a long time, and their eyes lit up, and there was actually a small brick and stone courtyard inside

The yard is not big, but it is very tidy, and an old voice came from it: "Zhou Gongzi ~ Why do you have time to come here today?"

Zhou Cheng responded: "Hu Lao~" took out a wooden card and threw it in front of him: "Bring a friend to find a good player"

The old man pinched the wooden sign with his thin hand, looked at it for a moment, and looked at Li Zhilian: "Come in with me!" ”

Faced with Li Zhilian's doubts, Zhou Cheng simply introduced: "This old man's name is Hu Lao, no one knows where he comes from, only that he is ruthless, and he will do his best to kill those who oppose the water, and over time, he will become the biggest trafficker in Pingkangfang."

Li Zhilian was puzzled: "This Pingkang Fang is not big, why don't you arrest all these people?" ”

Zhou Cheng glanced at her and didn't speak

Li Zhilian took two steps, looked at his back, and immediately understood that even a gentleman like Zhou Cheng in the eyes of the world can come to this kind of place, which shows that this is a well-known place among officials

Hu Lao hooked his fingers and said, "Come with me"

Li Zhilian followed behind them, into a labyrinthine shack, the sun shining down through the thatch, and the chaotic road was a little blurry

On either side of the passage are small compartments, some with locked wooden doors, some completely open, and the figures inside are silent, like the walking dead

Li Zhilian walked and saw a man and a woman standing in a dark room, the man was covered with blood, his expression was sluggish, and his head was hanging. The woman was as thin as wood, and her body was covered with pus

The man was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw her, Li Zhilian made a gesture at him, and then quickly followed, asking, "Old Hu, how can there be a couple here?"

Hu Lao didn't stop, and said coldly: "The woman was one of the top brands of the Red Bean Pavilion before, she was infected with willow disease a year ago, and she had nowhere to go, so she lived here, and the man came with the woman, and in order to buy medicine for the woman, he sold himself to me, and he was good, and he went on several tasks, all of which went well."

Li Zhilian turned his head sideways, looked at Zhou Cheng, and said, "I want the two of them, Hu Lao, you can make a price!" ”

Zhou Cheng and Hu Lao were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, and asked, "Them?" ”

Li Zhilian nodded and said, "The man's skills are good, and he also has weaknesses, which is easier to control."

Zhou Cheng looked at her with a complicated expression and didn't speak

Hu Lao smiled slightly: "But this woman won't live long."

Li Zhilian said: "It just so happened that I saw a prescription for the treatment of flower willow disease from the library of Liangyi Mountain, but the prescription is very old and needs to be tried repeatedly."

Hu Lao's eyes flashed: "The girl is scheming, she can not only try the medicine, but also get a loyal person"

Li Zhilian looked at Hu Lao: "Give it to me, after healing her, the prescription will be given to you, and you will be credited to the account in the future." ”

Hu Lao was startled at first, and laughed and said: "People~ you take it away!" ”

Li Zhilian followed with a smile: "Hu Lao is really a refreshing person"

Hu Lao released the two and drove them forward

Zhou Cheng looked at her and asked, "Why did you suddenly choose this person?" ”

Li Zhilian smiled: "Look at the face, that man is a person who admits death, it is about the prince, I have to be cautious."

Zhou Cheng was speechless for a while, turned his head and glanced deeply behind him, and walked forward quickly

Walking to the Chase shop when she first entered, the woman knelt down heavily at her with the deed of sale in her hand, crying, "Thank you benefactor......

Li Zhilian helped her up and said, "I don't save useless people."

The woman stood up, was stunned for a moment, and stopped talking, and the man on the side was stunned for a long time, and suddenly arched his hand and said: "If the benefactor can really cure the cheapness, I am willing to repay it by being a cow and a horse for the rest of my life."

Li Zhilian waved his hand: "Let's talk about this later, I'll take you out first."
