"Chang'an, it's finally back again. The young man on horseback looked at the tall and brilliant city gate not far in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but ripple, "Although Chang'an is good, it's a pity that ......I am not welcome here."

The caravan of Zhaoyuemen smoothly entered the city gate, and the lively and bustling streets and alleys of Chang'an appeared in front of the young man again.

If you say that Chang'an and Yangzhou are compared, the biggest difference is that it is safe here. As long as you don't walk in any remote alleys, basically no one will come out to intercept them halfway, after all, living at the feet of the Son of Heaven, no one dares to be presumptuous easily.

"Deputy Sect Master, we have already entered the city in disguise, and we have not aroused the suspicion of others. At that moment, a cloth-clothed man ran quickly to the young man's horse and whispered.

The young man looked at his tiger-backed figure, and couldn't help but nodded, "You guys are doing a good job, let's go and find a place to settle down first." ”

These people are the shadow guards sent by Gu Mubai to Xu Changfeng, they are all masters selected from the army, although the cultivation is only the fourth order, but because of the training, if it is unexpected, they may be able to fight with the fifth-order cultivators, which can be regarded as the last guarantee of Zhaoyuemen in Chang'an.

"Xu Changfeng, you're finally back, the journey is going well, right?" At this moment, a man in a dark red coarse cloth shirt greeted him with a smile on his face. This person is one of Zhou Qixuan's most powerful subordinates, Cao Sixing, "I have received a flying pigeon message from the door master, and I learned that you will arrive in Chang'an today, so I specially came to wait." ”

When he and Zhou Qixuan were not in Chang'an, he took care of all the big and small things in Zhaoyuemen.

Xu Changfeng nodded, "Thank you." ”

The way back was very smooth, because the carriage was empty, and the pace of the march was also accelerated a lot, and the horse bandits and thieves who passed along the road saw that there was no oil and water, and they walked away in disgrace, so the dart master who went to Yangzhou alive has now returned to Chang'an without falling.

"These dart masters are the loyal backbone of Zhaoyuemen, if they are not there along the way, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck. Xu Changfeng got off the horse and walked to Cao Sixing's side, "After you go back, you have to give them enough remuneration, and those dead brothers must also appease their families." ”

"You can rest assured. Cao Sixing nodded, "The master of the door has already mentioned in the letter, after coming back this time, whether it is the sword scripture exercises, or the beautiful wine, gold and silver treasures, but everything I can take out according to the Moon Gate, let them choose." Also, I heard from the sect master that you want to buy some cultivation pills?"

Xu Changfeng nodded, "This time Zhaoyuemen made a lot of money, I want to take out forty percent to buy some spiritual energy pills, two ingredients for the brothers, and the remaining forty percent for Zhaoyuemen's expenses." ”

Regarding Xu Changfeng's arrangement, Cao Sixing nodded again and again. Now Xu Changfeng's status in Zhaoyuemen is second only to Zhou Qixuan, in other words, even if he embezzles ninety percent of his earnings to buy pills now, it is estimated that no one will dare to say a word.

After all, in this transaction, without his Xu Changfeng's face, Zhaoyuemen would not be able to touch a drop of oil and water. The former only proposed to use forty percent, which is obviously very affectionate and righteous.

As he was talking, Cao Sixing was suddenly hit hard, but fortunately, he was also a fourth-order cultivator, so he stabilized his body in time, otherwise he would not have fallen on the street?

"Who, the guy who doesn't walk long, are you looking for death?" Cao Sixing was furious, and immediately turned around and looked back.

It was found that the person who bumped into him was actually a young man of the same age as Xu Changfeng, and he was still wearing the uniform of the Qingzhu Sword Academy.

"Ma Yan?" Xu Changfeng recognized this person at a glance and hurriedly shouted. I saw that on his face, there was a look of anxiety that could not be concealed, and the whole person was also a little out of breath because of the rapid running, obviously something big happened.

"Xu Changfeng, are you back?" Ma Yan looked up and couldn't help but exclaim, the tense look on his face eased a lot.

"What happened?" the boy asked. And Cao Sixing, who was on the side, found out that he was Xu Changfeng's acquaintance, so he didn't say anything more.

"Senior Sister Long, she was surrounded by a few gangsters in the ghost market, I finally escaped, and I was about to go back to the Sword Courtyard to find King Song Yan about this. Ma Yan said hurriedly.

"Ghost market?" Xu Changfeng and Cao Sixing on the side couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this term, and the young man scolded, "What are you doing in the ghost market?

Not to mention that Long Yuxin was a fourth-order cultivator, even Zhou Qixuan, who was in the realm of turmoil, didn't go to that place often.

If Chang'an East Lane is the largest gold cave in Chang'an City, then the ghost market is the black market in what people call the black market.

It's a mess there, but there are endless treasures, such as things taken from the dead, or contraband within the dynasty, etc., it's not that the dynasty doesn't want to clean up this place, it's just that it's too chaotic and complicated, and if there is any disturbance, it will be difficult to hide from their eyes.

Every city has its own ghost market, but it is unique to be as unscrupulous as Chang'an.

Moreover, the goods that Zhaoyuemen planned to transport from Yangzhou were also planned to be thrown out through the ghost market.

"Cao Sixing, bring some people and follow me to the ghost market to save people. Xu Changfeng took a deep breath and said to Ma Yan in a low voice, "It's useless for you to go back to the Sword Academy, the righteousness in their bodies is too heavy, and they will only be unable to ask anything when they go there." ”

Cao Sixing nodded, now Zhaoyuemen is also a big gang in Chang'an City, and it is not a problem to go to the ghost market to sell face and ask for people.

As they spoke, they walked briskly towards an alley.

"What are you doing in the ghost market if you have nothing to do?" Along the way, Xu Changfeng looked at Ma Yan and asked.

Ma Yan lowered his head and said with some guilt, "Senior Sister Long said that she heard that a relic of her mother's relatives was auctioned in the ghost market and wanted to buy it back, but I wanted to stop it, but ......"

"It's nonsense!" Xu Changfeng scolded, "You dare to go to the ghost market to shoot things without a backstage, and you are not afraid of offending people?"

"Definitely. Cao Sixing on the side nodded, "The most taboo thing for newcomers is to shoot things randomly, especially when someone is competing with you for something, if you know that the other party is coming, it's fine, but if you don't know, it's best not to fight." Otherwise, you'll just get angry......"

Presumably, Long Yuxin should have been in trouble with a certain big man, so that adult would secretly retaliate.

Ma Yan listened to what the two said, and couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't expect the water in the ghost market to be so deep. Even so, Xu Changfeng still had to admire Ma Yan in his heart, it was very good to be able to sneak out of that kind of place to report the news.

The big man naturally knew that the two of them were students of the Sword Academy, so even if Ma Yan found Song Jiaoxi, he wouldn't ask anything when he went to the ghost market. After all, tying up the students of the Sword Academy is tantamount to offending the imperial court. The most taboo thing in the ghost market is to have anything to do with the imperial court, in order to protect himself, Long Yuxin not only can't be saved, maybe he will be directly killed, and finally find a scapegoat and give it to him.

This is also some of the methods commonly used in the rivers and lakes, although Xu Changfeng has not been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, but under the influence of Wei Qijian, Zhou Qixuan and Liang Yi, he knows a lot of things more or less.

Walking the rivers and lakes is not a child's game, it is a life.

This reason Liang Yi is the clearest, you can imagine that he is a hairy boy, leaving home and plunging into the rivers and lakes, he must have suffered a lot of losses and struggled to survive under the cliff of death.

In addition to the problem of money, the biggest thing is the backer.

If you don't have money, you don't dare to offend the rich, and if you have money, you don't dare to offend the backers, this is the general rule of the rivers and lakes.

The crowd walked through the alley and came to a very desolate alley. It stands to reason that there should not be such a place in Chang'an, but it is also so desolate because the things sold on this street are not accessible to ordinary people.

It was also the first time for the boy to come back to this place, and although he was prepared, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Large and small coffins are scattered in all corners of the streets. In addition to coffins, there are all kinds of paper-tied people, funerary goods, and so on. No one would have thought that the ghost market with the most oil and water would be hidden in this street and alley.

"It's not clean here, so you better go back. Not long after the group had gone forward, an old man with a cane stepped forward.

Coming here is either to buy a coffin or to go to a ghost market, but with a posture like them, it is obviously not a good person.

"It's not clean, is there a ghost in front of you?" Cao Sixing smiled, and then said in the jargon.

When the old man heard this, his heart trembled slightly, and he whispered, "Of course there are no ghosts, but the things inside, I'm afraid I'll scare you to death if I say it." ”

"Oh, it doesn't matter if he's a human or a ghost, just look at it. ”
