In front of Xi Xue was a rather spacious karst cave, with braziers swaying and swaying, reflecting the bright and red light here. A whole group of people gathered here, making a lot of noise, even when children were crying.

"Damn, it's really damnable! Damn the Dog Emperor! ”

"It's a big deal, let's fight with them, who's afraid of whom?"

"Okay wife, we'll be safe here......"

"It's a shame that Lao Tzu runs fast, or else ......"

Zhang Yunfeng explained to Xi Ze and Mrs. Zhang: "Because the imperial court suddenly brutalized the people of the rivers and lakes, everyone wanted to seek refuge in the 'black market'. However, this is not a 'black market', it can only be regarded as an entrance to the black market. The real black market is behind that door. ”

Xi Xue couldn't help but ask: "I'm curious, why don't even the emperor dare to touch the 'black market'." Is there any other force in the rivers and lakes that even the emperor is afraid of? ”

Zhang Yunfeng smiled, looking confident, and said, "It's not what you think." The specific reason will be understood when you get to the 'black market'. ”

It also sold off the door. Xi Xue pouted secretly.

The three of them found a corner and squatted down and waited quietly. Xi Xue pricked up his ears to listen, and learned some of the latest information about the imperial capital from other Jianghu people. However, there is no "Ark Giant", as soon as the hatch of the "Ark Giant" is closed, the defense system is opened, and no matter how great you are, don't think of it. The people gathered here are all people from the "outer capital".

Mrs. Zhang sighed: "In all dynasties, the imperial court and the rivers and lakes have always abided by the tacit agreement that the water will not violate the river, and any dynasty that has confronted the court and the rivers and lakes has not had a good end. What gave Liu Jingye the confidence to eradicate the entire rivers and lakes. ”

Zhang Yunfeng said: "In the next view, he is not confident, but arrogant. Compared with the first emperor, it is really a tiger father and a dog, and it is unsightly. If the first emperor was still alive, he would definitely not do such a stupid thing. It's a pity ......"

Someone next to him came over and said, "Who says it's not!" Then he began to complain, infinitely nostalgic for the prosperity of the former emperor's reign, and by the way, he also mentioned the culprit who killed the first emperor, the Confederation Xi Xue, a posture that was very unacceptable to pick up Xi Xue's skin and cramps, as if what he was experiencing now was caused by Xi Xue.

One person, two people, three people, one after another, joined in the topic of remembering the first emperor, cursing the current emperor, and hating Xi Xuan, which was so lively.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but look at Xi Ze, of course she knew that this "Xi Tianxue" was the murderer of the first emperor, but of course she didn't have any resentment towards Xi Ze, on the contrary, she even had a little admiration for Xi Ze.

Although she doesn't know how powerful the first emperor is, he is definitely a man who stands at the peak of the Han Empire, and this man was killed by the young man in front of him, no matter how he killed the first emperor, but the result of the first emperor's death because of him shows that he is extraordinary, and he can be called a hero.

But what made Mrs. Zhang feel funny was that he actually joined the camp of insulting Xi Xuan, scolding himself and looking indignant, which was quite funny.

After about half an hour, I suddenly didn't know who shouted, "The market is open!" In an instant, all the noise in the cave disappeared, and everyone stood up.

Xi Xue also stood up and looked up, and saw that one of the walls of the cave suddenly sank, revealing a small door that was only large enough for one person to enter and exit, and everyone gathered there at once.

Two men in black suits stepped out of the narrow door and stopped in front of it. The man on the left shouted: "Everyone is lined up, come one by one, pay attention to the order, it is strictly forbidden to cut the line, otherwise it is forbidden to enter the black market." The loud voice echoed through the cavern and penetrated into everyone's ears. The man on the right also shouted, "Everyone be ready for the entrance fee, one thousand taels of silver for adults and one hundred taels for infants." ”

As soon as the words fell, the crowd was in a commotion, shouting one after another, saying that it was only ten taels before, why did the price suddenly rise to an outrageous one thousand taels.

"Shut up. If you enter the black market, you will give money, and if you don't have money, you will get out. No matter how noisy you are, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite! ”

This majestic and domineering voice roared out, and the people fell silent all of a sudden. Now, between money and life, the vast majority of people choose life. In this situation, if you don't hide in the black market, it is the fish on the chopping board of the imperial eagle dogs, and they are left to slaughter. So, people started lining up and paying to enter the door.

As for those who really have no money, after begging grandpa to sue grandma to no avail, they can only leave with despair. As for what to say about "morality in the rivers and lakes" and "righteousness and squandering wealth", Xi Xuan has not seen any of them. Frankly speaking, Xi Zhi doesn't want to see any "people in the rivers and lakes", and he couldn't agree with the ban on martial arts.

It is undeniable that there will be some people with lofty ideals in the rivers and lakes, but the vast majority of them...... If it is really a good man and a woman, who will do those brave and ruthless deeds, and find a job in a down-to-earth manner and still be able to support his family? Therefore, Xi Ze did not have much sympathy for them, and only when he saw a young man with a child of four or five years old who did not ask for prayer, he extended a helping hand and paid 1,100 taels for them.

Finally it was Xi Xue's turn to choose them, Xi Xue also paid the entrance fee to Zhang Yunfeng by the way, the three of them squeezed into the narrow door, and walked forward, the passage was very narrow, and after advancing dozens of steps, the eyes suddenly opened up, and then Xi Xue rushed to a heat wave to pave.

"It's hot!"

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but say. She is just an ordinary person, and she is not as heat-resistant as Xi Ze and Zhang Yunfeng. As soon as you enter this place, you can't stand it.

Zhang Yunfeng said: "This is in the belly of a volcano, and the temperature is naturally very high. Please come with me, and go indoors. ”

Xi Xue looked around, this is a huge circular area, all kinds of buildings are piled up like building blocks, like a huge city, and there is a huge circular pit in the middle, faintly heard the sound of "gurgling" bubbling from the inside, a piece of red, and couldn't help but say: "This is in the belly of an active volcano?" ”

Zhang Yunfeng said: "To be precise, this is under the 'Ark Giant Ship'. The two huge peaks that support the 'Ark Ship' are actually two huge volcanoes. The other volcano has been controlled by the imperial court, and I don't know what method they used to turn it into an extinct volcano. And this one is controlled by the forces of the rivers and lakes. Now you know why even His Majesty the Emperor is afraid of the black market. ”

Xi Xue was speechless, "In case Liu Jingye really comes hard, could it be that you really detonate this volcano and die together?" ”

Zhang Yunfeng was dumbfounded, "Who knows." ”

The three of them walked briskly into a building, and the cold wind blew on their faces, and they immediately became much cooler.

All the buildings in the "black market" are interconnected, and Xi Ze and Mrs. Zhang followed Zhang Yunfeng all the way, shuttling through the noisy and chaotic "black market", and after a while, the three of them came to a door.

"This is it." After Zhang Yunfeng finished speaking, he knocked on the door with a certain rhythm.

Xi Xue couldn't help but mention his vigilance, he always didn't fully believe Zhang Yunfeng. With a huge amount of 50 billion dark flowers, how many people can resist the temptation of money?

Soon, the door opened from the inside. But when Xi Ze saw the person who pulled the door, his pupils instantly shrank into pintips...... He never thought that it would be her who opened the door!

……

At the same time, in the palace, in the palace of nourishing the heart.

Liu Jingye listened to the news from the subordinates of the "Spiegel Division", and a smug sneer appeared on his face.

The news that can make him smile proudly is naturally good news.

Under Mu Tie's sword and iron fist, the bigwigs of the Four Seas Society, the Mafia, the Tomahawk Gang, the Knights Templar and many other Jianghu forces have died, injured, and disabled, and now those forces are already a group of snakes without a head. In his opinion, those so-called Jianghu forces have lost their leaders and have become fish and meat on the chopping board of Emperor Liu, whether they want to be steamed or braised is up to him.

It's a pity that no matter how powerful Mu Tie is, he is only one person, and there are still a few bigwig-level people who escape, and these fly in the ointment make Liu Jingye, who has a tendency to obsessive-compulsive disorder, a little uncomfortable. He thought in his heart, if a loyal and powerful subordinate like Mu Tie came to fight again, two or three, why would he worry about the injustice of the Liu Empire?

Thinking of the previous grievances, and then thinking about the current happiness, Liu Jingye was in a good mood, and he really wanted to be white, but because the love-breaking master was watching from the side, he was not too wanton and indulgent, but he was thinking about how to celebrate at night.

If you go outside, you must first settle inside!

After solving those hidden dangers in the rivers and lakes, his next step is to build and expand the army, promote young generals, comprehensively strengthen his control over the army, and suppress the civilian group with the Wuguan group, even if he does not start a war with the Confederation and transfer the contradictions, he can also achieve full control of the empire - of course, if he can, Liu Jingye still hopes to start a war against the Confederacy!

When the purpose of the war against the Confederation was no longer to divert contradictions, but to realize ideals and ambitions, Liu Jingye's blood became more and more boiling - to unify all mankind, which was something that even his father, who was eloquent and martial, could not accomplish!

At this moment, the palace maid came to report, and the deputy commander of the Spiegel Department asked Du Jun to see him.

Liu Jingye only thought that there was some good news, so he said: "Announce it quickly!" ”

After a short time, Du Jun lowered his head and stepped into the Heart Cultivation Palace, and after the ceremony, he reported the latest situation to Liu Jingye, "Your Majesty, the prisoner Zhang has entered the 'black market'. ”

Liu Jingye frowned, and his mood immediately deteriorated a lot.

Of course, as the emperor of the Han Empire, he knew the situation of the "black market", and if he could, he would like to destroy it and annihilate it, but considering the safety of the imperial capital, even he didn't dare to rush too much. In other words, the origin of the "black market" can even be traced back to before the official establishment of the "Han Empire", which was a small underground kingdom established by a group of guys who resolutely opposed the imperial system and their father's emperor, and they used the active volcano below the imperial capital to hold the imperial court hostage, and they survived to this day.

If this is not the case, Liu Jingye was cheated by the "black market" for 10 billion before, how could he swallow this breath with his character?

Just when he was unhappy, Liu Jingye suddenly changed his mind and sneered: "There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no way to go to hell." Du Jun, spread the news that the Zhang family had escaped into the 'black market', I want to see what wonderful things they can play. ”

"Yes!"

Soon after Du Jun went down, the palace maid came to report again, saying that the heroines of the Emei faction had returned, and Liu Jingye immediately summoned them with a smile. A group of Emei female disciples led by Bai Ziyun entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, and in an instant, the Heart Cultivation Hall was filled with beautiful women who were fat and thin, and Liu Jingye was dizzying.

After a group of Emei female disciples saluted Liu Jingye and the love-breaking master, Bai Ziyun reported to Emperor Liu on the pursuit of the prisoner and asked for punishment. Of course, Liu Jingye couldn't punish them, but he was relieved with gentle words.

At this time, a young girl stood up, and before she could speak, she had already attracted Liu Jingye's attention. If it weren't for his perseverance, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

That pair of breasts is too ...... It's spectacular, it's breathtaking!

"Your Majesty, the people's daughter has a gift." This magnificent-minded girl is none other than Zhu Yingfang.

Liu Jingye took a sip of tea, swallowed it with a grunt, and said with a smile: "Oh? Please speak. ”

Zhu Yingfang briefly reported the situation of chasing into the crack in the ground, and finally said: "The folk girl thinks that the person who snatched the Zhang family in the end is very likely to come from the 'Zangfeng Martial Arts Hall'. ”

Zangfeng Martial Arts Hall?!

Liu Jingye's eyes froze.
