After this man appeared, the attitude of the city defenders suddenly improved a lot, "Boss Hu, do you know the two of them?" ”

The man who was called Boss Hu smiled at the soldiers: "The two of them are the daughters of my friends, and they came here to look for me, but I didn't expect them to be fast, and they came a few days early, which led to a misunderstanding." ”

Zhuang Rou looked at him sideways and didn't speak, planning to see what kind of medicine was sold in this person's gourd.

In this kind of seemingly chaotic place, a person who doesn't know at all jumps out to solve their problems, there must be a ghost.

Tang Wushu also didn't know this Boss Hu, but he didn't say anything, everything looked at Zhuang Rou's eyes, and it was a big deal to fight out.

At this time, Boss Hu grabbed four small ingots in his hands and stuffed them into the hands of the city defenders, and kept saying some flattering words in his mouth.

Zhuang Rou estimated that she touched it, I am afraid that there are twenty or thirty taels of silver, which is really a big deal, but she will not owe this favor.

She pretended not to see the handing of money, and looked up at the sky, feeling that it was going to rain in a while.

The soldiers defending the city seemed to be very familiar with Boss Hu, and after accepting the silver, they let Zhuang Rou and the others enter the city with a wave of their big hands.

Boss Hu thanked them, and then led Zhuang Rou and Tang Wushu into the city.

As if he really knew Zhuang Rou and the others, he said enthusiastically as he spoke: "In the future, if you encounter soldiers blocking the way in Shuangmen City, mention me Lao Hu, there will always be three points of thin noodles here, and I won't embarrass you too much." ”

Zhuang Rou said: "Speaking of which, we also made a special trip to bring some local specialties to Uncle Hu, all of which are local snacks for Uncle Hu to try." ”

"Huh?" Hu Yuan was stunned for a moment, it turned out to be a clever guy, and he would repay his kindness.

However, Zhuang Rou put her hand around Tang Wuving's shoulder, and said a little apologetically: "However, my sister was eaten up on the way." ”

Tang Wudi is still a face-saving person, she has never eaten any local snacks, but she can't bear to be detained by the greedy black pot on her body, and her face suddenly turned red.

As soon as she wanted to explain, she was quietly pinched by Zhuang Rou, and she shook her head first and said: "Sister feels too ashamed, I don't have the face to see Uncle Hu, so we will leave first, it's really embarrassing!" ”

After Ma Li finished speaking, she pulled Tang Wushu and was about to leave.

Boss Hu hurriedly stretched out his hand to block the two of them, and quickly explained: "Don't be afraid, the two girls are not bad people, there is a reason for helping them just now, can you listen to the next sentence." ”

Zhuang Rou looked at him, pondered for a while, and said, "Okay, but we can only go to the restaurant, and we can't go to remote places." ”

"No problem, two heroines, please." Boss Hu was afraid that the two of them would regret it, so he quickly led the two to the best restaurant in the city.

Shuangmen City is a city that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and it should have taken advantage of its border pass to accept merchants from both countries to stop or trade here, making the city prosperous.

Now it is in a state of decay, with shops lining the streets in disrepair, and most of them are closed and have no goods to sell.

There are a few shops that are open for business and trading, and they are also bleak in business. The shopkeeper and the guy, who was not refreshing at all, each found a place to doze lazily, looking weak.

The whole city was lifeless, and even the roads in the city were covered with mud puddles, and no one had come to repair them.

The people in Shuangmen City are not like ordinary people, all of them are either standing against the wall with their hands in hand, or sitting idly on the side of the street, looking at the past There are no serious people.

Originally, Zhuang Rou also wanted to look for gangsters and splashes in the city, and then get acquainted with the local local snakes, and inquire about the path to Qingliang Country through the border pass.

Now it seems that there is no need, the city is full of wicked people.

Tang Wushu had never seen this kind of posture, and it didn't feel like he had entered the city, but into some kind of thief's lair.

The eyes of passers-by fell on her like a poisonous snake, making her extremely uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but get close to Zhuang Rou, trying to find a little sense of security.

Zhuang Rou looked at Tang Wuving, who was close to him, smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, these people are just bluffing and don't dare to come over." ”

She has seen this kind of scene a lot before, don't look at them fiercely, in fact, they are all bosses and different, in mutual demonstrations.

Only those who have no patience will jump out and make the first move, otherwise she and Tang Wushu will be like fat sheep, and they will sharpen their knives in the dead of night.

Boss Hu seemed to be accustomed to these people on the street, and did not explain much why there were so many people who did not look like good people, but led them to the best restaurant in the city, a dilapidated restaurant where people in other places who had a spare silver on hand would not go.

Thinking about the environment here, this is it, Zhuang Rou is a newcomer again, and she doesn't dislike the poor place, so she also found a wing. Although the appearance is not very good, there are many types of dishes.

How can you be stingy when you invite a woman to dinner, Boss Hu ordered a lot of wine and food, all of which were local game, it seems that Shuangmenguan is not as barren as it seems, but no one takes care of it.

Zhuang Rou was not polite to Boss Hu, she was not afraid of poisoning, so she picked up chopsticks and ate them.

After eating a little bit, Boss Hu said in a low voice: "I don't hide it, I guess the two of them are from the rivers and lakes, and they ask for something to help each other." ”

At this time, Zhuang Rou deliberately coughed a few times, posed as a cheap person who wanted to pretend to be an old man, and pretended to hold the teacup and said: "Boss Hu, if you want to ask our sisters to do things, you can't rely on this benefit." ”

Boss Hu laughed, sure enough, he was a newcomer to the rivers and lakes, and he didn't break it, but said with a smile: "I just wanted to make friends with the two of you, and after the matter is completed, I will thank you with a lot of money." ”

Zhuang Rou glanced at Tang Wushu and saw that she shook her head slightly, she didn't want to help others, she just wanted to go to Qingliang Country as soon as possible.

She said to Boss Hu: "I don't know what Boss Hu is entrusting? You have to know what to do before you can think about saying yes or no. ”

"yes, what if you let us kill people and set fires?" Tang Wushu hurriedly answered, and the people on the street frightened her, and she didn't want to stay here at all.

It's not really a charlatan in the first place, so there's no need to do this kind of time-wasting thing.

Boss Hu had already understood that it was Zhuang Rou who was in charge of these two people, so he smiled at Tang Wuving, and then said to Zhuang Rou: "Don't hide it, what you are doing is to bypass the border and pull the goods to the opposite side to sell." Once I met the officers and soldiers, I folded a few guards. ”

"This time, there was a batch of goods to be delivered to Qingliang Country, and when I was worried about the lack of manpower, I saw two of them. So I would like to invite two of you to join us, and if we go on such a trip, we will pay two people for this number. He held out a finger, hinting at the price he could give.

Zhuang Rou smiled, "Boss Hu, one hundred taels can buy the entire street of people, I see their fierce appearance, they are also suitable for this, and it is much cheaper." ”

Boss Hu shook his head and said: "You don't know, they are all veterans and people who have lost their families, and they hate Qingliang Country to the core, and it will definitely not work to let them do this work, it will only be bad." ”

"What, do you want to sell something forbidden to Qingliang Kingdom?" Tang Wushu subconsciously asked.

It's not that she always wants to reveal her identity, but it's just that people who can't see Dahao want to do something to Qingliang, and when they hear about smuggling, they think of bad things.

For example, bows and arrows, leather or iron, these are all things that can be used in rebellion, and if they are used by the people, they cannot be smuggled.

Boss Hu was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "It's just some Dahao's specialties, Sanhua wine, fragrant embroidery, moon and evening yarn and other things that nobles like." The tax on customs clearance is too heavy, and if you smuggle it, you will earn more. ”

Tang Wudi pursed his lips, these things are commonly used in her family, and the price is indeed very expensive. A well-colored embroidered garment will always attract the envy of other nobles.

Such goods are indeed worth the risk, but she is not short of money, and if she wants to take the job by the way to earn money, she just goes directly to the border to find someone.

Zhuang Rou smiled: "Boss Hu, let me discuss it with my sister, after all, we don't plan to go to Qingliang Country, and this trip will definitely take a lot of time." ”

Boss Hu nodded and said, "This is natural, I'll go and see what kind of snake is used in the dragon and phoenix soup, but I can't let them replace it with a vegetable snake." ”

He found an excuse and left the private room first, so that the two of them could have a good discussion.

As soon as the talent left, Tang Wushu hurriedly said: "Sister Zhuang, let's leave quickly, this place is not suitable for a long time, I don't think they have a good person." I have the silver, and I am not short of money. ”

Zhuang Rou smiled: "Sister, we don't have a road guide, and this is not an ordinary border pass, how can we get there, don't you know the generals over there?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Tang Wushu hurriedly shook his head, "No, how can I know someone over there." ”

"I thought my sister had a good way, it seems that she can only take over Boss Hu's business. After helping him deliver the goods, we can leave, saving ourselves the trouble of finding our way. Zhuang Rou came down directly.

Tang Wushu wanted to speak and stopped, and he didn't dare to say his identity, thinking that it was no problem to take the small road, but it was just a little detour, so he agreed.

When Boss Hu came back, after hearing that they agreed to this matter, he thanked them very much for their support, and briefly introduced the trip.

In addition to the two of them and the porter, there were more than ten guards, and they just made up for the loss of officers and soldiers last time.

If you're lucky, maybe you don't have to do anything, and you can go straight to Qingliang Country through the border pass.

There is no need to find a place to live, Boss Hu has a big yard and can live until the day of departure.

This condition made it impossible to find fault, and after the meal, Zhuang Rou and Tang Wushu went to Boss Hu's house.
