Chapter 50: The Dark Market
For this old man, Li Chunfeng wanted to kill him, but he couldn't bear it, seeing that he had received the punishment he deserved, he turned around and was about to leave, who knew that the old man struggled to stand up, and threw a pocket flying sword at Li Chunfeng, fortunately, Li Chunfeng was on guard, and after easily dodging, he pulled out the long sword is a sword qi, directly dividing the old man's head and body.
Seeing that the old man was dead, Li Chunfeng said to himself: "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself," and left here without knowing anything, and he really had a heroic demeanor.
The territory of the Hou family is in the territory of King Yu, and this King Yu is also one of the four iron hat kings, as famous as the King of the Northwest, in charge of the territory of a state, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, guarding one side for the imperial court, but there is such a group of thieves on the territory of King Yu, he does not send troops to suppress the bandits, but also allows them to become bigger, which is really a bit weird.
It is impossible for any king to let these thieves behave in their own territory, so Li Chunfeng guessed that this King Yu must have a key relationship with these thieves, and the two used each other before, as for the purpose of King Yu's doing, Li Chunfeng did not know.
In this regard, Li Chunfeng is not without a way, he has heard from the fat man that there is a secret agency in any city, commonly known as the "dark market", as long as you have silver, you can buy anything you want, but the fat man also specially instructed that the price there is also outrageous, if you don't buy it, don't ask nonsense, otherwise it will cause a fatal disaster.
This dark market has been rising for many years, and it is composed of some people in the rivers and lakes, and it is impossible to find out who initiated it, but the dark market is very chaotic, and there are no rules at all.
For this dark market, the courts of various dynasties love and hate, love is that you can get a lot of useful information from the dark market, hate it, this dark market three religions and nine streams of anyone, they not only leak state secrets, but also do not obey discipline, there is a great threat to the imperial court, the emperor has sent troops to various cities many times to encircle and suppress, either let these people slip away, or suffer heavy losses, but have no choice but to consume so.
This dark market, like the market, is opened every four days, and each day is open to anyone who knows the way, and if you can't get out, you have to say otherwise.
Li Chunfeng looked for a big city that was quite a bit of a past, and was ready to go over to take a look, and it just so happened that the market would open here tomorrow, so Li Chunfeng decided to stay here for one night, just to find out the location of the dark market.
In order not to be too ostentatious, Li Chunfeng just found an inn that was quite good to live in, at this time, the inn was already full of people, most of these people wore hats, swords, and had a strong atmosphere of rivers and lakes, Li Chunfeng didn't have to think about it, he knew that these people were here to participate in the dark market.
Li Chunfeng sat down in the corner of the first floor, asked for a few side dishes and a pot of wine, and looked at everything around while eating.
In order to be more secure, Li Chunfeng decided to secretly follow those people to the dark market tomorrow, and after arriving there, he directly looked for people who bought and sold news.
As soon as the second day arrived, Li Chunfeng took advantage of the night to hide outside the inn, and saw three people walking out of the inn.
Although the little guy is not tall, he reveals a strong aura, and the martial arts realm is not under Li Chunfeng, after he accepted the money, he opened the door and let the three of them in.
Seeing that all three of them entered the dilapidated house, Li Chunfeng also came to the door of the dilapidated mansion, took out a tael of silver and taught the little guy, but he stopped him, saying that the newcomer entered the dark market for the first time, and he must pay ten taels of silver, otherwise he would not be released.
Li Chunfeng didn't like to cause much trouble, so he took out ten taels of silver and taught it to the little guy, and when he opened the door, Li Chunfeng walked in.
As soon as he entered the dilapidated house, a huge passage to the underground came into view, and he walked down this passage until he came to the dark market underground.
Although this place is wide, it is very dark, on both sides of the middle aisle, there are all stalls selling things, placing all kinds of weapon cheats, and the prices are also ridiculously high, but these people who set up the table are not like the vendors in the market outside, but they look like they love to ignore it, and they are almost four big characters written on their faces: "Love to buy or not." ”
For these weapon cheats, Li Chunfeng naturally didn't have anything to look at, so he naturally had no interest in taking care of them, so he took a look at them from a distance and left.
Li Chunfeng hadn't walked a few steps, he found that he was being targeted, and he came to a dark corner in a flash, he stopped his figure and said, "A few people, haven't you been tired after following for so long?" ”
As soon as his words fell, three men wearing hats appeared in shape, two short and one tall, looking at his breath, most of his martial arts were in the Jindan Realm, and they were the people that Li Chunfeng was following.
Seeing the three of them appear, Li Chunfeng turned around, arched his hand slightly, and said, "How many people, what are you doing?" ”
The tall man in the middle sneered and said, "I said you didn't even say hello, and followed us all the way, so forget it?!" ”
Hearing this, Li Chunfeng was a little surprised, with the martial arts realm of a few of them, they should find out their whereabouts, could it be that these three people couldn't pretend?
The martial arts level of these three people is so high, but they have a unique secret technique, as long as someone follows them, they will be discovered immediately, without two brushes, how dare they enter this dark market.
No matter what these guys wanted, Li Chunfeng decided to tease the three of them first, he immediately pretended to be very scared, and his figure couldn't stop retreating, and kept muttering: "I don't have money, I don't have money." But he clutched his hands over his chest as if there was something of value there.
The short man on the left saw the movement of the person in front of him, his eyes showed a greedy gaze, and he said to the tall man in the middle: "Big brother, this kid really has money on him, let's do it!" ”
The man in the middle is worthy of being the eldest brother of the three, and he recognized Li Chunfeng's little trick at a glance, slapped the man on the left in the head, and said: "You stupid pig, you can find us following us so easily, and dare to come here alone, you must not be a simple person, this kid must be pretending, don't be fooled." ”
Li Chunfeng originally wanted to tease the three of them, but now there was no play, and he was suddenly completely interested, he had been delayed here for too long, and he was a little impatient, so he pointed to the three of them and said, "Let's go together!" I'm in a hurry. ”
Seeing that this kid was so arrogant, the three of them immediately surrounded Li Chunfeng and prepared to make a move, and then, the majestic sword qi leaked from here, and after a burst of sparks and lightning, the three of them fell to the ground.
For the battle situation here, the people in the dark market do not care too much, every time the market is opened, there will be more than 100 fights, and the dead are commonplace, and the people who manage the dark market will only ruthlessly throw these corpses into the mass graves, let the beasts eat them, without the slightest pity, if you don't have the ability, you deserve to die here.
And Li Chunfeng didn't kill the three people, he just knocked them unconscious, and he wouldn't kill people unless he had to.
A stack of silver tickets was found from the men, and Li Chunfeng reluctantly accepted them, and then left here.
After searching for a long time, Li Chunfeng finally found a stall in a corner, a thin old man squatting on the ground smoking dry tobacco, a black cloth was laid in front of him, many envelopes were placed on the black cloth, and a wooden sign was erected next to the old man, with the word intelligence written on it, obviously this is the place to sell news.
The stalls here are too deserted, no one has come over for a long time, Li Chunfeng is also a little curious, as a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, he is naturally indispensable to the enemy, and if he can get a reliable information about the enemy, he will have a better chance of winning in the future, why not?
Li Chunfeng naturally doesn't have to worry about the authenticity of the information, the fat man told him before that there are no fakes in the dark market, otherwise if he is recognized, he will immediately spill blood on the spot, and even if he has his life to go out, he will be chased and killed by others.
Although everything here is genuine, you must always keep your eyes open, in case the vendors here sell you items at a high price, then you will regret it, no one will admit that everything here is real, who makes you not keep your eyes open to see clearly.
Squatting down, Li Chunfeng just wanted to look through the envelopes, but was hit by the old man's cigarette stick in his hand, reminding: "If you want any news, just say it, don't flip it indiscriminately." ”
Li Chunfeng withdrew his hand and said "I'm sorry", and then asked, "Do you have any information about the Hou family?" ”
The old man was not surprised, he stretched out a finger and said, "One thousand taels of silver." ”
Hearing such a price, Li Chunfeng was shocked and almost sat on the ground, what news is so valuable, it is actually worth a thousand taels of silver, no wonder he has no customers in this stall.
The old man took a puff of cigarette, and when he saw the ink of the kid in front of him, he was a little impatient, and said, "Do you buy it or not, if you don't buy it, get out of it as soon as possible." ”
Since Li Chunfeng couldn't see that it was really strength, he didn't dare to provoke him, although it was easy for Li Chunfeng to take out this thousand taels of silver, but his silver was not blown by the wind, and he was really reluctant to take out so much at once, so he wanted to bargain.
Seeing that the kid in front of him wanted to bargain, the old man stretched out another finger and said, "Two thousand taels of silver." ”
Seeing that the old man still had a price increase, Li Chunfeng immediately took out a thousand taels of silver tickets and stuffed them into the old man's hands.
