Mobile reading

"Childe, let's go here and have a look." Emperor Xi stared at the fence courtyard for a long time, and it wasn't until Ye Yueming, who had already walked away, looked back at her sideways that she finally came back to her senses and pointed to the small courtyard and said.

Ye Yueming shrugged, mumbled, and walked back reflexively. The two of them looked at the wooden fence of the fence courtyard and asked loudly, "Is there anyone?" ”

No one answered in the courtyard. The two of them glanced at each other, and Ye Yueming raised his foot and kicked the wooden fence directly, and the two of them walked in like this.

There is a narrow passage in the courtyard that is only accessible to one person, and other than that, there are flowers and grass everywhere that cannot be treaded on. Ye Yueming and the emperor walked towards the house in the courtyard one after the other.

Before the two of them could reach the house, the red candle flame was suddenly extinguished.

Emperor Xi was startled, and without saying a word, he walked forward quickly and pushed the gatehouse open, and the room that was originally lit with candles was empty, only the candle flame core that had just been extinguished, and there was still a little smoke.

As soon as Ye Yueming saw this situation, she immediately exchanged a look with Emperor Xi: There are other secret passages or secret rooms in this room.

The two of them spread out left and right quite tacitly, whether it was placed or upside down, horizontally or vertically, they all flipped through, but they were busy for a long time, and they didn't find anything.

Emperor Xi frowned and looked at this not very large room, thought for a long time, and suddenly had an idea, and patted Ye Yueming's shoulder: "Childe, do you have any flint on you?" ”

Ye Yueming was stunned for a moment, nodded and then took out two flints from his arms and handed them to the emperor: "What's wrong?" ’

Emperor Xi smiled incomprehensibly, collided the two flints with each other, and the sparks flashed, and the candle flame ignited again on the candlestick that had been extinguished.

Emperor Xi pulled out the candle on the top, lit another candle, and handed it to Ye Yueming: "Light up all the candles in the room." ”

Ye Yueming comprehended, picked up the candles and lit them one by one, and together with the emperor's seal, reinserted the two candles that had been pulled out at the earliest.

After all the candles were lit, Emperor Xi was surprised to find that there were many strange symbols reflected in the lattices of the windows in the room.

Emperor Xi stepped forward to observe for a while, and a deep smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "There is really nine palace gossip and everything in this room, and the heavens and the earth are ...... I think it's going to move these candles, huh...... Put it in these few positions. ”

As she spoke, she lifted the candles and swapped the positions of several of them, and when she put the candles one by one according to the formation diagram of the Nine Palaces Bagua, she heard a very slight vibration sound coming from the ground.

Emperor Xi pulled the night moon and stood on the edge of the Ming Dynasty, and after a while, there was a cave on the ground, and there was a staircase in it, and the two of them walked down the stairs, and they were stunned.

There is an extremely large cave underground, and what surprised the two of them even more was that the cave ** was densely packed with people, and there were ...... Goods.

When the people inside saw a stranger coming in, they looked at them both vigilantly and asked in a vicious voice, "Who are you?" How did you get in? ”

"We ...... We're here to buy some dry food. We're going to Jade Castle, but there's no food supply left, and we've heard that there are people selling here, so we're here. Emperor Xi was just about to ask what the situation was here, but he was stopped by Ye Yueming, who answered these people's questions very neatly, and at the same time pointed to the goods on the stall: "These are all sold, right?" ”

"Who told you there's something to trade here?" There was a very tall man in the crowd, and he looked at Emperor Xi and Ye Yueming with a wary expression, obviously thinking that they were not good.

"Wang Rui, as far as our shopkeeper is, he said that he will take us across the desert, but they don't have any extra food in the store, so let's come here for supplies." Ye Yueming didn't blink at all when he lied, even if he was as thick-skinned as the emperor's seal, he felt a little ashamed.

"Wang Rui? What do you want? The underground black market in our Shattered Leaf City has always been expensive, can a few of you afford it? The bearded man said, pointing to a stall of goods on the left: "These may be ordinary goods in the customs, but in our broken leaves, they are all expensive, do you really want to buy them?" ”

Ye Yueming took out a piece of silver from his arms and threw it to the bearded man: "Is this enough?" ”

"How much to buy?"

"Ten days of dry food for eight people."

The bearded man touched his beard, and said, "Okay, enough, send it to Wang Rui or take it with you yourself?" ”

"Let's take it ourselves, you can clean it up for us. By the way, let me ask you a question, is our black market here? ”

Hearing this, the bearded man sighed deeply and said: "Not in the early years, it's just that the herdsmen have been too rampant in recent years, and we are miserable. ”

"So according to you, do you want to revitalize a little bit of the coil and leave the broken leaves?" When Emperor Xi heard the Han say this, although he couldn't be moved, he also knew that they must be unbearable to have such a plan.

"Who wants to be uprooted from their homeland? It's just that if we don't make a little money, we won't have supplies for a long time. Where is there a business traveler willing to come to Crushed Leaves? We can only make a lot of money, which is why everything here is very expensive. ”

The bearded man's words probably aroused the resonance of the people of Broken Leaf City present, and they were all excited for a while, and their faces were full of sadness.

"Everyone, since your life is so difficult now, we can't help but help, here is fifty taels of gold, you can use these to form a caravan by yourself, and you don't have to ask for help in the future." Ye Yueming made a generous move, and with a flick of his hand, it was fifty taels of gold, which not only frightened the people here, but even the emperor was shocked.

"Are you crazy? Don't you know that your wealth is not exposed? Are you afraid that others will not know that you have no money? Where has Emperor Xi ever seen someone throwing gold like this, he was stunned for a moment, and scolded in Ye Yueming's ear.

Ye Yueming turned a deaf ear, just handed the gold to the bearded man, and said: "I hope everyone can do their part for the broken leaves, this is your home, and it is also our Cangshuo home." ”

"Eun Gong!" The bearded man held the fifty taels of gold, and was silent for a while, so he could only kneel on his knees and shout loudly: "Engong En's grace is the same as reconstruction, I don't know Engong's surname?" ”

"It's just a foreign thing, so what's the point if you don't know it? So be it. Ye Yueming stretched out his finger and pointed to the food, and asked, "Can I take these?" ”

"Even if Engong takes it, all the goods sold in our black market add up to less than one tael of gold, not to mention that Engong gave fifty taels of gold." The bearded man said, and ordered his subordinates to pack the dry food and clothes one by one and hand them to Ye Yueming, and he was tired that Ye Yueming would not die: "Engong, will these things be too few?" Let's stop taking some more. ”

Ye Yueming and Emperor Xi were both covered with cloth bags, and they were so full that it was a little difficult for them both to walk, so where did they dare to ask for it again? The two shook their heads again and again and refused: "Thank you for your kindness, it's too much, we just want some dry food to eat on the road." ”
