The waters of Juyanze are vast, with dozens of miles in length and width.

Blackwater City is located at the end of the lower reaches of the Black River, on the south bank of Yanze, and is called Blackwater City because of the end of the Black River.

This Heishui City was originally an important frontier town in Western Xia, and more than 300 years ago, Western Xia set up the "Yanjun Division of Heishui Town" here.

Later, Genghis Khan conquered Western Xia and set this place as a trading point between Ganzhou and the Krulun River, the base camp, and recovered its vitality.

Blackwater City has become a bright light in the vast desert Gobi, a lighthouse in the sea, frequent merchants, and now under the jurisdiction of the Tatar tribe of the Middle Turmut tribe.

In this group, Bao Yuanqian is the deputy leader of the caravan, and the main leader is needless to say.

The caravan hurried and finally arrived at the ancient city of Heishui on the edge of Yanze at night.

It is said to be an ancient city, but in fact, it is a tent that covers the sky and the sun, and the strong city wall has long been turned into powder with the transformation of its historical identity, leaving only pieces of broken walls.

Bao Yuanqian spent some silver as usual, and counted the thousands of households in this Heishui City, and when the thousands of households saw that he was generous, they led everyone to a good place, and after a while, tents rose from the ground.

The crowd was a low-key caravan, so they did not gather around the camp with excessive caution, but set up a false appearance, and kept an eye on Sarenya.

The Heishui City Market is very lively, not like the night ban of the Ming Dynasty, the market here is an open-air tent, shouting and shouting.

Bao Yuanqian led more than 20 people under his headquarters, and he also wanted to join in the fun when he saw this scene.

Everyone hurried for days, and naturally wanted to go and see, but when they set off, they unexpectedly saw Sarenya coming with Xiaolan, Sarenya only said that he took Xiaolan to relax, Bao Yuanqian looked at Zhang Shanduan who was following behind, and a few people from Kou Shicheng naturally nodded.

It was not his master, and when Sarenya said this, she was informing him, not discussing.

The group was swept into the flood like this, and although there were many people in Bao Yuanqian and his party, they were still insignificant compared to the lively Blackwater City.

Bao Yuanqian walked in front, walking side by side with Sarenya Xiaolan, the three of them walked for a long time without saying a word, Sarenya's face was indifferent, looking at the night sky in front of him from afar, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Xiaolan, don't be pessimistic, that day was chaotic, maybe Lao Jiang escaped." Bao Yuanqian saw Xiaolan, who had been low, and said something against his heart and comforted.

Xiaolan nodded, looked at Bao Yuanqian haggardly, and said, "Borrow Brother Bao's auspicious words... Little Blue Heart is collared. ”

Bao Yuanqian took the opportunity to speak, glanced at Sa Renya, and said in an active atmosphere: "In the past, I was asked to go to the grassland with you, but I didn't think that I would really follow you in the Mobei grassland so soon. ”

Sa Renya pursed her lips and said softly, "It's just that this time is different from the past, my brother's life and death are unknown, but this trip north is to see Na Tuhuan..."

"Then Douhuan and you know you? I see that he named you and asked for you, and it seems that he has a deep affection for you? When Bao Yuanqian saw her mention Dehuan, he naturally knew that this would be the pinnacle of the future short-term unification of Warat Tatar, but he didn't know what Sa Renya had to do with this Dehuan?

Sarenya sneered when she heard this, and seemed to be a little unhappy with the name Tuohuan, she said with disgust: "He is very good, so good that he hides it from me.... Together with my father Mahamu, he poisoned my eldest brother... Enke Khan. ”

"He... It's a jackal in sheep's clothing, and I am disappointed. ”

Bao Yuanqian looked at Sarenya's tone and expression, and there was a trace of weirdness in his heart, thinking in his heart that this Sarenya and Tuhuan seemed to be old acquaintances and had a great relationship.

It was only later that due to political factors, the two became suspicious and eventually turned against each other.

Bao Yuanqian saw that she was unhappy, and knew that this topic could not be talked about for a long time, so he opened the topic.

After walking for a long time in the crowd, I saw a place in the market in front of me, where a group of people were shouting, but there were no goods.

Bao Yuanqian and a few people took a closer look, and it turned out to be a few gray-haired little old men, where Wang Po sold melons and boasted about herself.

And what they sell, it's themselves.

These people are living maps in the desert, guides for many years.

This Blackwater City is the largest gathering place in the south of the desert, and it is also the northernmost gathering place, and further north is a no-man's land that is thousands of miles uninhabited.

It is a very serious matter to get lost in this vast Gobi, there are many merchants, and it is often necessary to hire a senior living map, so there are many guides who rely on eloquence in the market of Blackwater City.

After all, when a lot of age, so many guides, competition and incentives, and professional skills cannot be immediately revealed, this eloquence can often bring you higher remuneration.

I saw a few people fighting over the red-faced, white-bearded old man with a goatee, thin and small, so noisy that he suddenly rolled around on the ground, picked up his sleeves and beat the other person.

The man was not convinced, and jumped to beat the little old man with a goatee, but the little old man rolled on the spot, and a drill crotch immediately turned into a rabbit and kicked the eagle, and kicked the counterattacker away.

Seeing this, the other person rushed over, this little old man was still in three indiscriminate routines, and a slapped slice of clothes and eighteen fell around the man's leg, and the man couldn't punch in a hurry, and he couldn't shake off his leg.

The little old man reached out, slapped a monkey peach, jumped away from the man in an instant, rolled twice on the ground, and left the man to cover his crotch in pain, becoming a 'Wudang faction'.

"Okay, take him!" Lu Gangfeng and the others immediately clapped their hands and applauded, they were not interested in shouting, but they still had a great heart to watch.

Seeing that the rickety little old man was so flexible, he did not hesitate to appreciate it.

The little old man crossed his waist and snorted, "Damn, a few pickles." The little old man not only knows astronomy and geography, but also stands up on this fist, and on his arm is a walking horse! ”

"This tendon meat, that's not for nothing!" He said that he scooped up his sleeves and bent his arms but couldn't squeeze out a single muscle, which made people laugh.

He put down the two of them, saw Bao Yuanqian in the crowd, and greeted him with a smile in an instant, "This boss, but the caravan going to Mobei?" Let me tell you, this Mobei is not as good as Guannei, if you don't deserve a living map like Xiao Lao'er, then it will be troublesome..."

He said that, blew the goatee that fell off his mouth, and smiled.

Bao Yuanqian just paid attention to him, he had an intuition, he seemed to have seen this little old man somewhere, and a very familiar feeling filled his heart, but it was clear that he knew him only when he was a general.

The little old man was chattering endlessly, and he was eloquent, but he didn't expect the little old man to put down the two of them in a row.

It's just that in Bao Yuanqian's eyes, he has seen Ghost Lichi and Uncle Bao.

Although this little old man is nimble, his martial arts are not clever, and he uses some indiscriminate moves, which is okay to be surprised, and he is about to take precautions, he has to suffer a big loss.

Bao Yuanqian wanted to be captured, "Our caravan already has a guide, sorry." ”

The little old man laughed and said, "Little old man, I am cheap... Boss, besides, there is no one in this desert Gobi for thousands of miles, and it would be too careless to call only a guide, if something happens to an accident.... Hey. ”

He rolled his eyes, and his fingers circled meaningfully, "Besides... This guide is the life guarantee of the whole team, it is the door of life, I don't know how many cases have happened in this desert where the guide slipped away halfway and killed the whole team, boss, your guide.... Is it reliable? ”

This came to Bao Yuanqian's heart, in fact, the main purpose of Bao Yuanqian's visit to the market was to find a suitable and reliable guide.

This ghost is obviously not credible, insidious and vicious, and he knows the history of later generations and knows that this person will never succumb to the command of Mahamu.

He is the future Great Khan of the Tatars, and as a king, how can he be willing to be a minister?

He even wanted Uncle Bao to make a move several times, but as a result, Ghost Lichi's life was cut off, but for some reason, although Uncle Bao hated Ghost Lichi, he didn't make a move.

If you want to find him as the only guide, it is impossible, since this little old man with a goatee has said all the shady and ugly things in front of him, he is naturally relieved, this matter is not seen in the light but is broken by this little old man's words.

Where is the person who commits a crime, tell the victim first what time I am going to kill you?

coupled with a spontaneous sense of familiarity, he chose to believe in this little old man.

Bao Yuanqian swept around and said, "What price?" ”

The man held up five fingers and laughed, "Originally... Wan Zhong Yu I am not a little more important, said that it is cheap, I am afraid that you will not be able to believe it, and speculate about the little old man, fifty taels and one month, pay monthly, how about it? ”

Bao Yuanqian pondered for a moment, and then nodded, "Okay, then the deal will be deal, come with me!" ”

The little old man with the goatee laughed, and followed with the burden on his back, "The little old man is calling for style!" Just call me a crazy old man. ”

"The wind? What a strange name. Sarenya looked at his name as she watched from the sidelines.

Feng Saizhang laughed, "This little girl, don't you hear that this northern wind is sweeping in the sky, and it is full of thousands of feet?" ”

Bao Yuanqian said in his heart that this little old man is really funny, he speaks in a fog, and he is vulgar for a while.

It's just that he glanced behind him, but saw that Uncle Bao was cautiously staring at the wind and watching him carefully.
