Chapter 072: Entering the City at Night

Fengzhan City is like a sleeping beauty, lying quietly on her back under the starry sky, looking quiet and peaceful, and the occasional dog barking or two is quickly calmed down.

In the inner corner of the city wall of Fengzhan City, a man and a woman quietly crawled out of a hole in the ground.

Shen Xiuxiu gently stomped the wet soil on her feet and chuckled: "Brother Wei, I thought we came from the sky, but I didn't expect you to ask Yinjia to dig a hole in the ground." ”

Wei looked around in surprise and found that there was no one, so he dragged out a heavy bag from the hole in the ground and said in a low voice: "It is easy to alarm the soldiers defending the city when coming from the Heavenly Sword, although it is a little slower to drill the hole, it can save a lot of trouble." ”

Shen Xiuxiu nodded and said, "Brother Wei, you are not familiar with Fengzhan City, let me lead the way." ”

On a moonless night, it was pitch black in Fengzhan City. Walking through the two alleys, Wei was stunned to see that the lights were still on in a house, and a clumsy figure was projected on the screen window in the dim light.

Shen Xiuxiu walked a few steps and knocked on the wooden door according to a unique rhythm, and finally the door squeaked in, and a hunchbacked old man welcomed Shen Xiuxiu and Wei into it.

The room was neat and spacious, with a set of tea sets on the table, and an account book spread out next to the oil lamp, half of the abacus had been dialed, and it was obvious that the hunchbacked old man had been checking the accounts.

Wei Jingzhen gently lowered the bag containing the silver ore to the ground, attracting the old man's astonished gaze. Shen Xiuxiu sat down on the chair, pulled out another chair and signaled, "Brother Wei, sit down." ”

The hunchbacked old man was a little surprised by Shen Xiuxiu's arrival tonight: "Xiu girl, you are two days late this time." The voice was dry and hoarse, and Wei was shocked to guess in his heart that the old man's voice might have been injured.

Shen Xiuxiu said hatefully when she heard this: "It's not because of the tight investigation on the road, we were also able to come over with great difficulty." After a pause, Shen Xiuxiu smiled evilly: "Old Hantou, you have to increase the price for me by two percent this time." ”

"Two percent?!Show girl, you're too ruthless!!" The old Hantou's face sank like water. Recently, an order has been issued from the top to open up sources and reduce expenditure, and it is difficult to raise one percent, let alone two percent at once.

Shen Xiuxiu took out a piece of silver-gray silver ying the size of an egg and put it on the table with a "snap", which shook the table and dented slightly: "Old Hantou, you take a look at this first!"

The old man's eyes seemed to shine all of a sudden, and even the hunchback seemed to be straighter, holding this piece of Yinying and exclaiming: "God! It's the first time I've seen such a transparent Yinying." Show girl, how many of you are like this?"

Shen Xiuxiu and Wei looked at each other and said with a smile, "You only need to raise the price by two percent, and every time I come in the future, I will bring a piece of Yinying of this color, what do you think?"

Lao Hantou lowered his eyebrows and pondered, and after a while, he raised his head and said: "I don't dare to guarantee two percent, but if you can guarantee a long-term supply of this kind of Yinying full of color, my old Han head can guarantee that it is absolutely no problem to raise one percent." ”

If it was Wei Jing's deal, I'm afraid I would have agreed a long time ago, a little more and a little less is not the same, anyway, I don't lack this thing. But Shen Xiuxiu didn't agree, and snorted repeatedly: "Old Hantou, don't play tricks in front of me, I know that if you want to refine such a good Yinying, it will be difficult for you to spend twice the capital to get in, and two percent is already a small amount." ”

Seeing that Shen Xiuxiu didn't do anything, Lao Hantou said with a smile: "Xiu girl, can you really guarantee a long-term supply?"

Shen Xiuxiu glanced at Wei Jing, as if asking for his opinion. Wei was stunned and said, "We can naturally guarantee this." ”

Seeing Shen Xiuxiu's eyes, Lao Hantou immediately judged that Wei Jingzhen was the main owner of this transaction, and immediately asked with a smile: "This little brother, let's meet for the first time, I don't know what to call it?"

Wei was shocked to remember that he was outside, and it would probably be inconvenient to reveal his real name, so he took out the original shield and said, "In the lower 'Spirit Servant Palace' deacon, Wei Jingzhi." ”

The old man heard it for a while, when did a "Spirit Servant Palace" emerge in the territory of Yilan Country? But he was the master of this transaction, and he made it clear that he claimed to be a "deacon", which must not be offended, so he had to say in a consultative tone: "Deacon Wei, do you see if this price can be reduced?"

Suddenly, a delicate voice came from outside the door, "Old Hantou, show me something." As the voice fell, a young girl with a black veil walked in.

At first glance, Wei Jingzhen thought it was Lan Wan'er, who was "blue and falling in the sky", but after a closer look, he found that the masked girl was slightly taller than Lan Wan'er, and the bee waist was very thin.

"It's so beautiful!" Wei was stunned and secretly vigilant at the same time. This girl can't even detect the divine consciousness in the house, what kind of cultivation is this?!At least it's much stronger than herself. Ever since the battle between Daofeng and Xin Rushui, Wei Jingzhen was no longer so arrogant that he thought that with the Thunder and Lightning Purple Python and the "Red Lotus Karma Fire", he could defeat the master of real penance, and he had an instinctive defensive psychology against the strength faintly revealed by this girl.

After seeing this masked girl, Lao Hantou's expression immediately became extremely respectful, and he handed over the piece of silver that Wei had been stunned and quenched into the masked girl's hand, bowed down and said, "Miss, please take a look." ”

The masked girl's face seemed to be slightly taken aback, she glanced at Wei Jing, and said to the old cold head: "On the original price, give them a three-percent increase." Then he put down the piece of silver ore and walked out the door.

The deal was negotiated in the girl's words.

On the way back, Shen Xiuxiu was dancing with excitement with the silver ticket issued by "Million Money".

"Huh, what is this?Emperor List?!" When passing by a section of the city wall, Shen Xiuxiu found the emperor list that had been posted recently, and the handwriting was not very clear in the dark, but Shen Xiuxiu could see the big red jade seal mark at the bottom right of the emperor list.

Wei Jingzhen also leaned over to watch, his eyes were like torches, and after reading it once, he said: "Xiao Shen, don't look at it, it's boring!"

Shen Xiuxiu couldn't see it clearly, and asked Wei in surprise: "Brother Wei, what is written on it?"

Wei couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "This emperor list says that the prince of Yiyang caught Zhou and caught an eggplant and a ball of snakes! Haha, it's funny! A future emperor grabbed a sword, and now he has caught such two strange things, Emperor Xiyang can't figure it out, so he posted the list in the hope that someone can unveil the list and enter the palace, explain to him, and predict the fate of Prince Yiyang in the future." Isn't it funny, you say?
