Volume 5 Novella Chapter Night Tower
"Phew!" The woman grabbed the horse's leash and stopped, "It's been a long time since I've been here." ”
"Divine Doctor, why are we here?" The man in the rear followed closely behind and also grabbed the reins and asked.
The two are Xuanwu Pavilion Master Xu Fuquan and Shennong Valley Tang Zhengya.
"If you want to go to Raozhong outside the territory, you have to come here." Tang Zhengyan rolled over and jumped from the horse to the ground and said.
"Why?" Xu Fuquan said confusedly.
"Have you ever heard a word, it is called a non-mine race, and its heart will be different." Tang Zhengya explained, "Although Wu Gaozu pacified Raozhong back then, there are still many people in Raozhong who are unyielding and will come to harass the southwest border every few decades, so the Emperor Wuguo sent heavy troops to guard the southwest city in order to prevent the raids of the people in Raozhong, and now the situation is slightly better, but if you want to enter Raozhong, you need to have customs clearance documents." ”
"Is it possible to get customs clearance paperwork here?"
"Of course, when my little nephew took me out in the past, I was able to get out with the help of Li." Tang Zhengya smiled proudly, "Let's go, Brother Xu, let's go in quickly." ”
"Actually, we .......," Xu wanted to speak.
"Oops, hurry up!" Tang Zhengya's urging interrupted Xu Fuquan.
"Oh." Xu Fuquan could only sigh silently and follow her inside.
The two walked into the small building, but there were only a dozen people around these two or three small wooden tables to place bets.
"Two guests, what are you doing?" A Xu Fuquan wearing a purple and gold coat waved the pu fan in his hand to greet the two.
"Ahem." Tang Zhengya coughed lightly, "Into the girl." ”
"Do you want to go to Raozhong?" The short and fat man looked at the two of them and smiled.
Tang Zhengya looked at the noisy gaming tables around her, and said lightly: "Hmm." However, in order to get out of the boundary of the southwest city and enter the city, you need to have customs clearance documents. ”
"Yes. There is only one official road in the fifty miles from the southwest city to Raojiang, and there are more than a dozen checkpoints on this official road, and you will only be allowed to pass if you see your customs clearance documents. The short and fat man took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "But the current customs clearance paperwork is not good." ”
"Bad? Why? Tang Zhengya asked.
"I don't know." The stocky man shook his head.
Tang Zhengya pondered for a moment, and then said: "Shopkeeper, I have to have this customs clearance paperwork, you can make a price." ”
The short and fat man seemed to change his face, and the smile disappeared from his face in an instant, and he said faintly: "This is the world's fang, and you can't buy things here, you can't..."
"Huh?" Xu Fuquan raised his head slightly.
"You can only gamble." The short and fat man glanced at the long sword on Xu Fuquan's waist, "Bet on your valuables." If you win, you take the customs clearance paperwork away, and if you lose, you will leave the valuable things on the two of you. ”
"Bet?" Tang Zhengyan looked at the gaming tables, "Are you like them?" ”
"Them?" The short and fat man smiled disdainfully, "Their gambling game of this grade is too small, just for a few taels of silver, if you want to clear the customs paperwork, naturally it is not the gambling game here that can be worthy of the two." Please come with me, both of you. The short and fat man led Xu and the others further inside, and he pushed open a pitch-black door that housed a larger tea room. Among them were dozens of long, antique-looking tables with an incense burner on top of them, and a masked man sitting at the long table.
The short and fat man closed the door: "Here, this is a gamble worthy of the two of you." ”
"Welcome, Night, two!"
"It's huge!" Tang Zhengya exclaimed in his heart, the last time he came to this building, this tea room was far more than that, but he didn't expect it to develop to such a point.
Xu Fuquan took out two silver tickets from his arms: "We are not good at gambling. But since we are here, we have to follow the rules here. These are two silver tickets of one thousand taels, I wonder if it is enough to start betting? ”
"Childe, I have just made it clear that I want to gamble with your valuable things, but this silver ticket is obviously not in my hands here." The short and fat man stretched out a finger and pointed at the long sword on Xu Fuquan's waist, "Let's ask for one of those two!" ”
"You want my sword?" Xu Fuquan's voice suddenly became extremely cold, the long sword on his waist was instantly unsheathed, and the cold light appeared, and the long sword was already against the forehead of the short and fat man.
"Presumptuous! Dare to draw a sword in the night tower! The masked man at the nearest pulled out the long knife at his waist and was about to leap forward.
"Stop!" The short and fat man stretched out two fingers and grabbed the head of the sword, "This friend, dare to make trouble here, it seems that you don't want to clear the paperwork." ”
