Chapter 222: The Black Market of the Rivers and Lakes and the Water Mirror City
Water Mirror City is not far from the Title Moon Sect, and it happens to be in opposition to the capital and the Title Moon Sect.
When Shen Yuning arrived, it was already dark, and she thought that it would be the same as when she arrived at the Title Moon Sect last night, quietly everywhere, and she couldn't see her five fingers, but when she entered the gate of Water Mirror City, she was startled by the brilliant lights in front of her.
The long street is full of tourists at night, and the high-rise buildings are lined with bright lights like day.
Singing and dancing can be heard everywhere, and indulgence can be seen everywhere.
Unlike any bustling city, the streets are not filled with shops, but with gambling houses and pawn shops and gorot houses, and although there are many people on the streets, everyone is vigilant.
To put it bluntly, even if it's not cordial, it's not easy to greet you, and you can see at a glance that people may not care about your kind of alienation when you greet you.
"Huh? Guest, guest!" Xiao Er of one of the wine shops stopped them with two horses and three people: "The guest officer is the first time to come to our Water Mirror City, why don't you get off the horse and come to our Ascend Wine Shop to rest and recuperate, if you want to know, you can consult the villain!"
Bai Yu was vigilant and secretly gave Shen Yuning a look.
Shen Meng coughed dryly, "Of course it's not the first time we've come, so we don't need your kindness, thank you!"
After pulling the reins to leave, Xiao Er hurriedly stopped in front of her horse and said with a smile: "Guest officer, the villain has been in Water Mirror City for more than 20 years, and he looks at people accurately, so don't hold it!" Tell me the truth, have you circled the city twice like a headless fly?"
It's been seen!
Lord Shen climbed down from his horse in embarrassment: "Okay...... I happen to be tired and hungry, so I can rest my feet."
The reason why she dared to say this was because Fang Cai Xiaobaozi secretly stuffed the purse to her.
She went around so many times just to find a home to look at the cheap inn and ask about the things in the city by the way, but she didn't expect that every inn here was the same rich and powerful!
"Upstairs! Three ——!"
Xiao Er introduced in a loud voice, and Shen Yuning hurriedly said, "No need for a private room, no need for a private room."
"The guest officer misunderstood, our inn restaurant in Water Mirror City only has a private room!"
「……」
It's really rich!
The wine shop is also different from the ordinary wine shop, it is not noisy, the private rooms are blocked by screens, and the private rooms are small houses that are impermeable.
Occasionally, someone can be seen hurriedly coming out of a private room, and someone entering a box with a hat on his head.
Someone was arguing, someone was laughing, but they couldn't be seen, making this richly decorated and brightly lit liquor shop look a little weird.
When Xiao Er introduced the three of them into the private room, tea and snacks were also quickly delivered.
Lord Shen Meng said embarrassedly: "We don't need tea and snacks, just give us three bowls of somen noodles, by the way, and then give the child some soft vegetables and beef."
It's the time to grow your body, so you can't help but eat something good.
Xiao Er said, "The guest officer misunderstood, this tea and dim sum is free, the noodles are available, and they are not expensive, and the noodles are thirty Wen."
As soon as he heard that the tea and snacks were free, Bai Yu first poured a cup of tea for each of the three of them, and then stuffed a piece of sesame cake into his mouth.
"Okay, let's have three bowls of somen noodles!" Lord Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it is a little more expensive than eating outside, it is only a little bit, I really didn't expect to eat such cheap noodles in such a rich place, and she wanted to ask the price of meat noodles boldly.
After a while, Xiao Er came up with three bowls of somen noodles, cut a small plate of beef, and fried a vegetable and vegetables.
After driving for most of the day, they were starved, so they didn't say a word, and ate first as a respect.
Lord Shen scooped a spoonful of red oil and spicy seeds into the bowl: "By the way, the chili pepper doesn't need money, right?"
"No money, chili peppers are also free, do you want garlic?"
"Garlic doesn't have to."
Scoop two more scoops and take a big bite!
The noodles are strong, the soup is delicious, and the spicy and refreshing taste is comparable to a peerless delicacy!
Maybe it's also because the three of them are hungry, and they all think this noodle is delicious
I'm going to cry.
Half a bowl of belly, Shen Yuning noticed that Xiao Er had been standing next to him with a smile all the time, and couldn't help but wonder, "Don't you need to greet other guests?"
"The villain only needs to take care of the three of you today, if you have anything to ask, what do you have to order, the villain is duty-bound."
Look at the service of this Water Mirror City! It's just in place!
"That...... I just heard you say that you have been in Water Mirror City for more than 20 years, so you should know a lot of things, right?"
Xiao Er replied respectfully: "Guest officer, we are a regular wine shop, if you want to inquire about the news, you must clearly mark the price according to whether the news is worth it or not."
"It turned out to be this kind of business," Bai Yu said as he sipped the noodles, "No wonder the tea and snacks don't cost money."
"The guest officer is wise." Xiao Er's eyebrows and eyes were crooked when he smiled.
"I don't want to inquire about anything else, I just want to ask where your City Lord's Mansion is."
Xiao Er smiled and stretched out his hand: "This news is five taels of silver."
It's so expensive!
How many bowls of noodles can you eat!
Bai Yu snorted coldly: "The dignified City Lord's Mansion, it is impossible for no one to know about Water Mirror City, it doesn't matter if you don't say it, it's a big deal for us to ask others!"
Xiao Er said again: "It's all business, the guest officer is not satisfied with the villain's price, you can go and ask others, shop around, and it's not too late to spend this silver."
Listening to what he meant, it seems that there is a charge for asking others.
Shen Yuning was also half-convinced, was it too much for Water Mirror City to do business?
"How did you tell if we were in Water Mirror City for the first time?"
She and Bai Yu have also traveled so many times from south to north...... Oh my! The Innocent Villa has participated in the martial arts conference, Fenggui City has eliminated demons, entered the gate of the Northwest Palace, and been on the bed of the Title Moon Sect.
The little second smiled and said: "This is simple, how many guests the villain welcomes and sends every day, who they are, where they come from, how many times they come, what they want to do, the villain can see it at a glance." Among these people, the first time to come to Water Mirror City is the best to distinguish."
"Tell me about it, then."
"This is the first time to come to Water Mirror City, whether you are riding a horse or walking, you can't look at your feet."
"Where do you look?"
"Look anywhere! Not only do they look everywhere, but they also look very fast, as if they are looking at the flowers, so the thieves in this city like to pick such people to attack, and they can't find a money bag even if they are pulled out seven or eight times!"
Lord Shen began to secretly congratulate themselves on the fact that they were riding horses, and besides, she didn't have much money on her.
Xiao Er said again: "One of the best things to distinguish is that the people who came to my Water Mirror City for the first time all shrunk their necks and bent over and squinted their little eyes, which was very alarming! Even the smartest people on weekdays are afraid of being deceived!"
Shen Mengzhu and Bai Daxia hurriedly sat up straight and stared wide-eyed.
"I was called by the villain again, and I refused when I signaled, I didn't run, and it must be the first time I came!"
It's over, it's tricked everywhere!
"You're doing this......" Lord Shen gave him a thumbs up.
Xiao Er opened his five fingers at her.
"Do what?"
"The answer to your question is simple, just a tael of silver."
Bai Yu was anxious: "But you didn't say you wanted money!"
Xiao Er said unhurriedly, "Guest officer, you have to remember that in our Water Mirror City, there is no answer that you can get without spending money!"
"Then what if I don't give it!"
"That's another question, are you sure you want me to answer it?" It's a couple of silver, because that's a hot question."
Bai Yu was about to have a seizure, but Shen Yuning stopped him: "It's just a tael of silver, not much, not much."
After saying that, he was very generous and took out a tael of silver from the purse of the small bun and handed it to Xiao Er, who took it with a smile.
"Do you still want to inquire about the City Lord's Mansion?"
"You are also the first person I know in Water Mirror City, since it is fate, I won't let others do this business."
She said, digging again
Give five taels of silver to Xiao Er.
Xiao Er smiled and couldn't see his eyes: "The villain is not talented, although he doesn't know much news, but he can't wait to tell every guest officer's problems, he doesn't dare to hide his secrets, and he won't do the secondary business of selling Guanzi, don't worry!"
"It's easy to say, the city lord's mansion ......."
"Our Water Mirror City is not big, you go out and go south, go to the end of the road, and then go to the west, on that road, you see the tallest building called Jingmeitai, and you find a place, our city lord stays there all day, not in the house."
Shen Yuning originally wanted to say that you didn't answer what I asked, but after listening to the second half of his sentence, it instantly became clear.
She came to find the city lord, and the result was the city lord's mansion, if Xiao Er answered the location of the city lord's mansion, she pounced, and she had to find someone to ask where the city lord was, isn't this a second consumption!
It's still this little two sensible and clever!
"So! Thank you!"
Xiao Er smiled: "The guest officer trusts the little one, and the little one will never let the guest officer pay twice."
So kind! So sincere!
Lord Shen was greatly moved: "Then let me ask another question, what do you city lords call you?" How old are you? What are your hobbies? Or is there something you like that you don't have?" :
Xiao Er pinched his fingers and calculated: "This costs ten taels, and I guarantee that the answer is worth it!"
Although it hurts a little, but for the sake of her martial arts league, she simply let it go, the important thing is that Xiao Baozi has no opinion, he is still sucking noodles, it can be seen that the noodles here are really delicious.
Xiao Er took the silver and replied obediently: "Our city lord's surname is Hao, a single name and a Tian character, there are two in the Chinese New Year's Eve, neither love money nor beauty, and there is no special preference on weekdays. Because he will be forced to marry by his mother at home, he lingers all day long, listens to small songs, gives people persuasion, or who auctions what treasures at a high price, and he will personally deliver the treasures to the buyer when he is happy, which is to give great face! But before you go to see our city lord, you must be careful, don't be alone in front of him, otherwise the city lord will throw you out of the city without saying a word!"
Shen Yuning swallowed his saliva, and was about to worry that he would stretch out his hand, but Xiao Er did not sell it, and said directly.
"This person is the Sect Master of the Moon Sect! Meng Tang, the boy of the night!"
Lord Shen Meng's eyes widened and he subconsciously looked at Bai Yu, who also pursed his mouth, lest he say that: Isn't this an old acquaintance!
She gasped, clenched her fists and said, "Thank you for mentioning, you are really righteous!"
"This is all the secret matter of the city lord, and I am afraid that it will cost a hundred taels of silver to inquire elsewhere, but the villain and the guest officer will not take a penny at first sight!"
"So kind! So sincere!"
The Lord of the Shen League was greatly moved again, asking one and answering three, and not raising the price or anything, it was simply a conscience second!
I couldn't help but ask again, "Then dare to ask, what is this eyebrow purification platform?"
