Chapter 21: The Builder's Workshop
The torches got closer, and I saw some colorful snakes twisted together, and when I felt someone disturbing me, I pricked up my head and spat snake letters at the three of them.
Yue Qingran suppressed the fear in her heart, and she really regretted that she had relaxed her vigilance, probably because of the experience of being locked up in the snake house during training before, which made her even more afraid of things like snakes.
Therefore, every time she went on a mission, she would always have realgar powder and insect repellent drugs with her, but now she only has poison on her, so she can only try to see if her poison is strong or the venom of the snake is powerful.
Sensing that something was wrong with Yue Qingran, Chu Junmo rarely quipped, "I thought you were not afraid of heaven and earth, this king was about to doubt whether you were a woman, but now it seems that it is normal." ”
"Shut up!"
Chu Junmo and Mu Tong were both stunned when they heard this.
Mu Tong said unhappily, "Miss Yue, although you are very important to the prince, please pay attention to proportion, and don't be too presumptuous in front of the prince." ”
Chu Junmo raised his hand, "It's okay." ”
His eyes signaled to Mu Tong, Mu Tong understood, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and sprinkled some in the direction of the snakes, and the snakes disappeared in three or two.
Yue Qingran cautiously looked around, and after confirming that there were no snakes, she continued to push Chu Junmo forward.
Seeing Yue Qingran's vigilant appearance, Chu Junmo kindly reminded, "Don't worry, this road is generally cleaned up, but occasionally there will be snakes, rats, insects and ants that pop out from other places, not too many." ”
Yue Qingran was really relieved when she heard this, and there was no word along the way.
It didn't take long to hear some noisy sounds, which seemed to be very lively.
A burst of light came into view, and a man dressed as a thug came to take the torch from Mu Tong's hand, and after checking his identity again, the two people guarding the entrance of the cave released the three of them.
Yue Qingran approached Chu Jun curiously and whispered in his ear, "What is that brand in Guard Mu's hand?" A pass here? ”
"It's a pass here, yes, but it's not just a pass."
Yue Qingran's eyes lit up, "What other uses?" ”
"Hmm!"
When the three of them walked out of the cave, the whole world suddenly opened up, and the flow of people was crowded, and all the people visible to the naked eye were masked people, dressed in different costumes, like a lively and extraordinary bazaar.
I didn't expect it to be so different, Yue Qingran's open mouth didn't close for a long time. "This? This is? ”
Chu Junmo glanced at her lightly, "This is the Dark Village." ”
Yue Qingran walked a few steps briskly and stood side by side with Chu Junmo.
"There are rare treasures that can't be bought by the outside world, even if they are prohibited by the imperial court, as long as the price is in place, it is not difficult to buy them here, of course, there are many strange things."
Yue Qingran nodded ignorantly, "That's why the control here is so strict?" Isn't this an illegal operation in disguise? ”
Chu Jun glanced at her silently and continued to speak: "You can also understand it this way, that's why it's called Dark Village." Of course, you can not only buy here, but also sell, as long as the identity is approved, as long as you have the ability to sell, even if you can sell land. ”
Yue Qingran's eyes lit up instantly, if she said so, wouldn't her little money come? His eyes looked at Mu Tong's waist with ill intentions, "Does this pass prince still have a 'backup'?" Or, is there a way for the prince to get another one? ”
Chu Jun was silently surprised, "What? Want? ”
Yue Qingran nodded hurriedly, "Let's make a price!" ”
Chu Jun smiled evilly, "One thousand taels!" ”
"What?" Yue Qingran plucked her ears in disbelief, "Why don't you grab it?" I only have a few pieces in my pocket, or I squeeze them out, why are you embarrassed to ask me for a thousand taels when you open your mouth? Robbery while the fire is not as ruthless as you. ”
Chu Junmo spread his hands helplessly and pointed to a tall building in the center in the distance, "Do you see the tallest building?" If you want to think that the king's is expensive, you can also go there to buy it, however, the king wants to remind you that the price there may be more expensive than the king's, of course, you can also barter, as long as your things are in their eyes, you don't have to spend a penny, you can get the things or information you want. ”
Yue Qingran looked along the line of sight and saw a pagoda-like high-rise building standing out from the crowd, which was incompatible with the surrounding buildings and environment.
She turned around and spread her hands with a smile, "Then can the prince borrow some money first?" ”
Chu Junmo raised his eyebrows, "Want to try?" Don't blame this king for not telling you, if you can't get what you want, and then you want to find this king, the price will be doubled. ”
Yue Qingran stumbled, glared at Chu Junmo viciously, and then looked at Mu Tong, "It's really dark, and I don't know how your subordinates are begging for a living under you." ”
Mu Tong showed a smile like a spring breeze, and said sincerely: "The prince is a good master, and he is very good to us subordinates!" ”
Yue Qingran smacked her lips, her face was full of disbelief, and she crossed her arms, "Lord Wang, just say it, to borrow or not to borrow?" ”
Chu Junmo glanced at Mu Tong; Mu Tong understood, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Chu Junmo.
Yue Qingran's eyes lit up and she rubbed her hands.
Chu Jun glanced at Yue Qingran silently, and took the thick stack of silver tickets into his arms expressionlessly.
The corners of Yue Qingran's mouth twitched, and she looked at Chu Junmo's eyes as if she wanted him to be devoured alive.
"Let's go." Chu Junmo turned in the direction of the wheelchair.
This beam is finished, Yue Qingran gritted her teeth, and followed behind with a disgruntled face, in the future, he Chu Junmo had better not fall into her hands, otherwise he would definitely avenge today's revenge.
The dark village is very lively, Yue Qingran looks east and west all the way, there are shops along the way, and there are also stalls that are directly placed on the ground to sell, among which there are ordinary market gadgets, there are also exquisite daggers and hidden weapons, and even there are open and honest poisons, and the prices are different.
Yue Qingran suddenly felt as if she had come to heaven, as if she had seen a large number of silver tickets beckoning to her.
"My jaw is closed, and my saliva is about to run to the ground." Chu Junmo kindly reminded.
Coming back to her senses from her imagination, Yue Qingran wiped the corners of her mouth embarrassedly, and found that she was being teased, and when she was about to go crazy, Chu Junmo's master and servant had already taken the lead in entering a shop.
Looking up, I saw that the door plaque was written with the words 'Zhuji Fang'.
Without thinking, Yue Qingran also walked in and followed.
"Oops! The two sons are here? ”
The shopkeeper bowed his body, even if he was separated by a mask, it was not difficult to see that the shopkeeper was happy to see Chu Junmo and the two of them.
Yue Qingran behind him smacked her lips, showed her little head, and laughed; "Looks like it cost a lot of money!"
Seeing Yue Qingran, the shopkeeper was obviously stunned, and then showed his signature smile, "There is actually a female doll?" After so many years, it's the first time I've seen a son bring a woman here, which is really rare. ”
Yue Qingran smiled symbolically in response, and then curiously looked at the furnishings in the room and the wooden utensils hanging on the walls.
"Do you see what's coming?" Chu Junmo's voice sounded.
Yue Qingran turned around and looked at the wheelchair under him, "So, Wang-Gongzi is here to make a wheelchair?"
