Chapter 260: Wooden Signs

The group entered Huangqiu City through the east gate, although there was a high wall blocking it, there was still yellow sand passing through the city, but the cloak was not needed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Inns, taverns, pharmacies, blacksmiths, and other shops that usually appear in other towns are also found here, but there are few pedestrians on the road, and none of them are very good-looking.

"Two sons, do you want to take a rest here, or do you want to kill the sand wolf directly?" Ma Bo was not only tall, but also spoke in a rough voice.

"I'll do it casually, it's up to Dr. Lu. Chen Feifei replied.

Lu Ran looked around and said, "This place is really not a place to stay for a long time, let's take the sand wolf gall as soon as possible and go back early." ”

"Okay, follow me. After Ma Bo finished speaking, he immediately adjusted the horse's head and walked in a certain direction.

In this Huangqiu City, there are more than a dozen people in their group, all of whom carry weapons with them, but they don't have to worry about someone coming to find trouble. It's full of death row inmates and felons, and it's hard to say if a few people come alone.

"Mabo!" suddenly a man shouted from the side of the road.

When Ma Bo heard this, he immediately turned over and dismounted, and bowed to the man: "It turned out to be Lu Baye!"

"What are you doing here today?" the man asked.

Chen Feifei also dismounted with the others at this time, and saw that the man was in his forties, with a beautiful face and a moderate figure. Behind that man were four other people, and all four of them were rough men with strong faces.

"The subordinates of the city lord of Huangqiu City are the eighth in line. Two sons, speak carefully, don't offend him. Liu Wu whispered in the ears of the two.

"Back to the eighth master, we were ordered by the young castle lord to come to the Extremely Evil Desert to get some sand wolf gall. Ma Bo replied respectfully.

"Then do you know the rules here?" asked Lu Baye.

"Little know, I'm not lucky, I met you here, this is for you. As he spoke, Ma Bo took out a bag of money from his body and handed it over carefully.

One of the big men behind the Eighth Master walked forward, took the bag of money from Ma Bo's hand, and then opened the bag.

Lu Baye looked into the bag, and then laughed and said: "You are generous to worry about the castle, take it, I just have another piece here." ”

"Thank you, Eighth Master Lu!" Ma Bo took a wooden plaque from the big man just now.

After bidding farewell to Lu Baye, everyone got on their horses again and continued to move forward, this time Ma Bo took them to a tavern.

On the way just now, Chen Feifei and Lu Ran learned a lot about Huangqiu City. Every year, there are death row prisoners and felons sent by the imperial court, and it is said that they have never lived in the Extremely Evil Desert, so Huangqiu City has become the only place where they can live. No one seems to know what the surname of the city lord here is, because everyone is used to calling him the city lord. I heard that he was sent by the imperial court to garrison this place a long time ago, and over time, the imperial court seemed to have forgotten that there was such a person, only knowing that there was a city lord in Huangqiu City, and the city lord had the final say in everything, which was very domineering. But he had never rebelled, and the court still needed him to take care of the prisoners who came here, so he had to turn a blind eye. This city lord lived in the city within the city to the west of Huangqiu City, and he had a total of eight powerful subordinates to maintain the order here.

The wooden card in Ma Bo's hand now is actually a token, as for what it does, Liu Wu smiled slightly but did not answer, just said that he would know when he entered the tavern later.

Besides, the wooden card, on the way, Chen Feifei asked to play with it from Ma Bo, which was actually an ordinary broken wooden card. It is only the size of most palms, and there is no carving, and it is square, and there is a big red "eight" written on it.

Everyone dismounted in front of the tavern, and Ma Bo took the lead in pushing the door into the tavern, and there were many people sitting inside at this time.

Chen Feifei didn't know what he was doing here, so he saw Ma Bo take out the wooden card he had just gotten from Lu Baye, raised it in front of him, and said: "I have the token of the Eighth Master, and whoever goes to the Extremely Evil Desert with me will not have much risk, just take a few wolf killers, and after the matter is completed, there will be wine money to give away." ”

It turned out that using this wooden card could actually recruit people here, but what made Chen Feifei even more incomprehensible was that they now had more than a dozen people, why did they recruit people again, is the sand wolf really so difficult to deal with?

Ma Bo said hello, and immediately more than a dozen people surrounded them.

"It turned out to be Brother Ma. One of the big men pushed away the crowd and walked over with a smile, this man had a fierce face, wearing a rag that could barely cover his body, and a large scar was showing on his chest.

Ma Bo was not afraid of him, but leaned over to him and asked, "Lao Hu, how is it, are you interested in this work?"

"How many sand wolf galls do you want?"

Ma Bo didn't know the answer, so he had to look back at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran said: "It depends on the situation, of course, the more the better." ”

"You guys all know how to do martial arts, don't you?" asked the old man.

"Both. Marbo nodded.

"Alright then, count us five!" Lao Hu said immediately.

"Okay!" Ma Bo smiled and nodded, then continued to shout loudly, "Is there anyone else?"

Anyway, recruiting people here, Ma Bo is more familiar than them, Chen Feifei and Lu Ran decided to go out to breathe, they didn't want to stay in the muddy tavern anymore, and Liu Wu also accompanied the two of them out.

After the three of them came out, Chen Feifei asked Liu Wu: "Why are you recruiting people here, a dozen of us are not enough?"

Liu Wu stretched out two fingers and explained with a smile: "There are two reasons. Reason 1, there is an unwritten rule here, as long as you are not going to the Extreme Desert to seek death, you must come here and tell the city lord what you are going to do in the Extreme Desert; Just now we came here from the Anxiety Castle, and we could still vaguely distinguish the road on the ground, but when we went out from the three gates of the south, north, west and north of this Huangqiu City, we couldn't see the road at all. ”

"Are all the prisoners in this tavern?" Chen Feifei asked.

"Almost all of them. Liu Wu paused for a moment, and then added: "I've only been here a few times, and they should all be prisoners." ”

"Do you know that old Hu just now?" Lu Ran asked.

Liu Wu nodded: "Yes." Speaking of this old Hu, he can be regarded as a ruthless character. He played with a double knife, and I heard that he was quite famous when he was young. Then one day, when he found out that his wife was committing adultery with someone else, he immediately killed the adulterer and adulteress. He also killed red-eyed, felt that killing two people was not enough, and then went to kill the two families of the adulterer and adulteress, not even letting go of the children, and killed more than 40 people in total. There were also many people in the adulterer's family who had good martial arts, but they were all killed by him one by one. The imperial court appreciated his martial arts and couldn't bear to kill him, so he was sent here as a death row prisoner eight years ago. ”

Listening to what Liu Wu said about Lao Hu, Lu Ran's worry became heavier: "Go with these prisoners, will they have other intentions?"

Liu Wuyi smiled and said: "Don't worry about this, with Lu Baye's token, they don't dare to be so presumptuous." If you want to say who these prisoners are most afraid of, the only one who is afraid is the city lord here. I don't know why, but I'm afraid of him. ”
