Huangsha Town, the first impression is that the eyes are full of vicissitudes, the wind is raging, the yellow sand is all over the sky, the population is sparse, and the ruins are everywhere. The environment here is harsh, and there are few caravans passing by, because the aborigines of the town have long since moved to other places, except for the two moon inns that are still in operation.

Most of the people who come to stay at the Double Moon Inn are bandits, mercenaries, and hermits, and occasionally slave traders or merchants from the Western Regions come here just to exchange some goods with the Two Moon Inn. Many mercenaries and hermits arrive here penniless, but you don't necessarily need money to stay at the Double Moon Inn, as long as you can produce a treasure or information that satisfies the proprietress and you can stay in the store.

Rumor has it that on a windy night six years ago, a handsome warrior came to the Double Moon Inn with one shot and one person. I only said one word to the hostess, and I lived for a year, and then I left alone and disappeared. As for what it was, the proprietress didn't say it, and no one knew what it was.

Another popular place in Huangsha Town is the headquarters of the Mobei Mercenary Group, the Mobei Firm. Based on this, the Mobei Merchant moved between the Wuyue Kingdom and the Hachi Kingdom in the north all the year round, organizing mercenaries to enter the desert to Taobao, and at the same time dealing in weapons, armor and trauma medicines.

In Mobei Trading, as long as you have enough money, you can buy something you are satisfied with, and if you don't have money, you can also join the expedition to get paid.

To the north of Huangsha Town, through the Shuangyue Grand Canyon is the Shuangyue Pass. Because of the wars with its neighbors, the Gotsugaku Kingdom has long been stationed here with heavy troops. The Grand Canyon of Shuangyue stretches for hundreds of miles, from the sky, the shape is like two rounds of crescent moons falling from head to tail, the bottom of the valley is flat and smooth Gobi, which is said to be the relics left by the Great War in ancient times.

In the past few days, the Shuangyue Inn has been particularly lively, because for some reason there are many "caravans" and warriors from other places in Huangsha Town, and the two-story tulou, whether it is a room or a single room, and even the firewood room is full of people.

In the main hall on the first floor, the seats were full at the moment, and the wine table was full of mercenaries and warriors who were eating meat and drinking in large bowls of foul language, and some Sven merchants were chatting quietly. However, no matter why these people came to this wasteland, the Double Moon Inn has been making a lot of money these days......

"Huh, it's strange, why did this Huangsha Town suddenly become lively?"

"Hey, brother, haven't you heard? The legendary ancient city in the desert is about to appear!"

"Hey, I've heard about it a long time ago, otherwise I can come to this place where birds don't?"

"I just don't know if this news is true or not......"

"Hehe, I think it's true, when I passed through Jiaocheng, I heard that the royal families of Wuyue Kingdom and Hachi Kingdom had received a notice from a mysterious person not long ago, and they had begun to gather mercenaries as early as a month ago and sent spies. ”

"Yes, yes, at this time, not only here, but even Jiaocheng is estimated to be crowded with people. ”

"It seems that there are more than just mercenaries from the royal family this time, it seems that even those top families in the kingdom have sent experts to investigate!"

"Of course, after all, the treasures left in the desert of the ancient city are sought-after enough, and now that the entire ancient city ruins have appeared, who doesn't want to go in and get a piece of the pie?"

"Hmph, a group of turtle eggs, if you want to divide it, you have to see if you have the strength!"

"Hey, don't say it, this Yellow Sand Town is the closest to the center of the desert, and we may be able to arrive from here before those royal and family mercenaries, hehe. ”

"Grandma's, this brother is right, let's go in first and take a look, if we get any top-level treasures or inheritances, what royal families and families do we have to worry about!?"

"Ha Luha, that's a good thing, do you know the location of the ancient city of Ludao?"

"This ......"

"The appearance of the ancient city will definitely cause changes in the heavens and the earth, and then we will look for the past!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Come on, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return, Ha Luha!"

"Boss, let's roast the whole sheep again!"

"Little Er, give this another altar wine!"

"Hey, why haven't we had our meal yet!" ......

"What are you shouting, don't you see that there are many of them! If you are not satisfied, go outside and drink the northwest wind!" A beautiful woman in her twenties-five, bright and bright, swaying, wearing a fine silk creamy white dress and an indigo embroidered bottom, stood by the counter and said loudly: "Hey, you are new here?

"Well, hostess, we are old customers, we brought a friend over, can you make another room......"

"What's wrong with the old customer, I don't recognize money and people, I knew that there were so many people in Ludao, I should really accept you double!"

"There's no land, there's no land! Hey, Huzi, be smart, don't let people in! Close the door, it's going to be windy tonight!"

A handyman-like man promised to close the door of the two people, and just as he wanted to plug in the doorbolt, he was pushed open by a huge force, and the whole person took two steps back and sat on the ground. A gust of wind blew in, and a hunchbacked, bald old man with a handsome boy on his back appeared at the door of the inn, which was laden with corn cobs and dried peppers.

Everyone's eyes squinted to this side, intentionally or unintentionally, but then turned their heads and drank and chatted to themselves. However, I have to say that such a combination is indeed a bit strange, especially the young man on his back has a dark face and a weak breath, and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.

"Little Er, bring me an upper room!" the old man glanced into the hall, threw the young man to the ground, and said gloomily.

"Hehe, this guest officer, this upper room is already full...... a little guy greeted him with a smile, and the tiger also got up from the ground at this time and tied the door again.

"Well, that's a normal room. ”

"Hehe, the ordinary ones are also full, it's not a secret, the small shop even has a firewood room with people, I'm afraid I won't be able to vacate the place today......"

"Hehe, I can't afford to pay the price for you to be an old man?" The old man glanced at Xiao Er with a strange smile, and saw that he was shivering all over his body, and shrank back.

The proprietress glanced at the old man a few times, came to the door in a few steps, pulled Xiao Er behind her, and said with a straight face: "Go, there is no one who makes me worry." He turned his head and said to the old man with a smile: "Oh, don't be angry, this old man, you see that this place is indeed full...... In this case, you can sit down and eat something first, and I'll help you ask if there are any guests who have checked out, but what is the ......price?" said the old man with a smile.

This hunchbacked old man is the old man of the demon scorpion who attacked the Mobei mercenary group team Gui Xinhai, and the young man lying on the ground with a black face is naturally Yang Rui. offended the Mobei mercenary group and dared to appear in Huangsha Town so ostentatious, of course, Xin Hai had his own calculations.

Qin Yueying, the proprietress of the Shuangyue Inn, is famous for recognizing money and not people, and she is not weak in martial arts and knows a lot of people, whether it is ** or Bai Dao in Huangsha Town, she has to give her a little thin noodles, so even if he meets someone from the Mobei mercenary group in the inn, the other party does not dare to do anything to him.

Thinking of this, Gui Xinhai showed an ugly smile, touched it in his arms, and took out a map. He opened it and held it in his hand, deliberately raised his voice and shouted, "Do you think this is enough?"

Everyone turned their heads and looked at it, this was the map of the ancient city that was snatched from Xiao Long's hands! The hall suddenly became extremely quiet, and everyone looked at the map in the old man's hand, each with a ghost.

"Enough, enough, I'll give you my own!" Qin Yueying said with a smile in her eyes, took the map in her hand and flipped it back and forth, then calmed down and thought about it, rolled her eyes, and handed it back to the old man of the demon scorpion.

"But I don't dare to accept this picture, the little woman runs an inn, and the people in this inn come and go, and they don't care what they do or where they go. "She's not stupid, if the map of this ancient city is placed here, and it spreads, this inn must not be demolished.

Although Qin Yueying loves money, she also has self-knowledge, and she knows very well who can and can't be messed with on this road, what should be touched and what should not be touched, otherwise she would not be able to take root in this place.

The Lord in front of you is not a fuel-efficient lamp, a trick to borrow flowers to offer the Buddha will lift you to the table, holding this map looks like scenery, but in fact it has become the target of the public, a lamb to be slaughtered!

In two days' time, there will be a small auction here, and if you don't want to keep it, you can exchange it for something else. ”

Qin Yueying glanced at the young man lying on the ground, smiled at the old man with the demon scorpion, beckoned to a guy and said, "Mazi, you take the old man to my room." After saying that, he twisted the slender waist and turned to greet the other guests, as if nothing had happened.

Gui Xinhai took back the map of the ancient city, thinking that this baby is really not simple, and he can not be moved in the face of this temptation!

Originally, with his character, he would never share this secret with others. It's a pity that after careful study, he found that for him, this map was a waste map at all, and the terrain drawn on it and the place names marked on it were completely like those of ancient times. Not to mention that he is not familiar with the terrain in this area at all, even those who are familiar with it may not be able to find it.

After thinking about it, he finally decided to throw out the map for others to find, and followed behind and waited for the opportunity to act. The royal family and top family masters stationed in Jiaocheng are like clouds, with deep background, they must have their own sources and methods, if they are allowed to arrive first, there will really be no bones left.

Now since the Double Moon Inn does not accept it, then there is only a chance to transfer the map to others, anyway, everyone here knows the existence of the map, forgive no one to ask for trouble, and enjoy the secrets of the ancient city alone. Thinking of this, Gui Xinhai picked up the young man lying on the ground and followed Xiao Er to the second floor with peace of mind.

At this time, in a darker corner of the inn hall, there were two people in black flannel cloaks, with their heads buried deep in their hats to make their faces unrecognizable, staring sharply at the two people who had just come to the inn, especially the unconscious young man on the old man's back!

Watching the old man walk up to the second floor, Qin Yueying stood at the door of the kitchen and turned her head to a guy next to her and said, "Keep an eye on this old man for me, I'm afraid it's about to change!"
