Chapter 88
The familiar faint fragrance of ink instantly swelled, and the warm breath gently swept over his neck, Zhao Liangyue felt that it was hot, as if it would burn in the next moment.
Zhao Liangyue could clearly hear his own heartbeat.
"What the hell is it? Xilin, can you tell me?"
Chu Bandit looked down at Zhao Liangyue, from the eyes covered by fluttering eyelashes, to the pointed chin, and finally stopped on the tight lips, and his throat slid.
He knew that he couldn't hold back this time, he was a little impulsive.
But he wanted too much to know that answer.
Perhaps, that answer was what he wanted?
The two were very close to each other, and the ends of Chu Bandit's hair hung down, entangled with the black strands on Zhao Liangyue's shoulders.
As long as Chu Bandit takes another half step forward and raises his hand to smooth away the tight lip line, he can pierce the window paper with his own hands.
I don't know how long it took, but the sky gradually darkened.
The two were still in a stalemate, Zhao Liangyue tightly clenched his hands under the sleeves, his palms were full of sweat, and his mind was even blank, but he felt that he couldn't speak out.
Finally, suddenly a gentle hand closed his clenched fist.
Zhao Liangyue raised his head abruptly, and met those peach-blossom eyes as gentle as a lake.
Bandit Chu sighed softly, and said, "Xi Lin, did I scare you?"
Zhao Liangyue came back to his senses, quickly shook his head, then withdrew his hand and said, "Brother, don't ask any more, I'm sorry."
Bandit Chu frowned, paused, and asked, "Why do you say I'm sorry?"
Zhao Liangyue's lips moved a few times, but he chose to remain silent.
"I was abrupt."
Bandit Chu put down his empty hand, took a few steps back, and released Zhao Liangyue from the pressure just now.
"Let's pretend that senior brother is going crazy and messing around today." Bandit Chu stroked his face, then said in silence, "I'll let Youbai come over to watch over you tonight, and I'll go and discuss other matters with Jingmo."
After saying that, Bandit Chu opened the door and left directly.
Zhao Liangyue breathed a sigh of relief, moved to sit down at the table, his heart was in a mess.
After a while, Youbai came bouncing over, and when he entered the door and saw Zhao Liangyue's expression, he frowned suddenly.
"My lord, why is your complexion so bad?" Youbai hurriedly came over and asked, "Did you quarrel with Chu Shangshu?"
Zhao Liangyue said: "No."
Youbai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, and said, "That's okay."
Zhao Liangyue added: "It's more serious than quarreling."
Youbai suddenly felt bad, and moved to Zhao Liangyue's side, and began persuading him earnestly:
"My lord, there is such an iron-clad relationship between you and Chu Shangshu. They have always been in pairs...ah no, they have always appeared side by side, and they have a good understanding. Generally speaking, this situation will not happen today."
"And even if you encounter disagreements when discussing matters, you will only discuss the matter as it stands, and it will never be like today."
"Besides, although I'm for the young master, to be honest, Chu Shangshu often lets you go."
"My lord, what I said is inappropriate. Just now when Chu Shangshu went out from here, he was just like the husband who was kicked out of the house by his own wife."
Zhao Liangyue turned his head sideways, gave the nagging Youbai a sharp look, and said sincerely: "Stop talking, just sit with me for a while."
Youbai let out an oh, and obediently did it well, and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Liangyue.
Zhao Liangyue absent-mindedly took a sip from the teacup, suddenly remembered something, put the cup back on the table with a bang, the tea in his throat was either swallowed or not.
In the end, Youbai saw that his young master blocked his upper body with his sleeve for no apparent reason.
"My son, what are you doing?"
"You, just treat me as drinking water."
"Drink water... ah, drink water with your sleeve?"
The next day, people in the three rooms on the east woke up very early.
In the first room, Yan Chang sat with several of his subordinates, having breakfast, and at the same time finalized the arrangements discussed with the two adults.
In the second room, Jing Mo sat in the corner and looked at his lord with a sullen face, surrounded by coercion, as if a prisoner who refused to speak was sitting in front of him, and he needed to pry his mouth open by himself, anyway, Jing Mo I didn't dare to take a breath.
In the third room, Zhao Liangyue didn't say anything after getting up, just read and read the brochure he got when he entered the inn, sometimes his eyes suddenly lost focus, as if thinking of something unpleasant, he frowned slightly, looking extraordinarily melancholy, But Yubai has never been able to comfort people, and it backfired yesterday, so today he obediently poured tea to the front and back, carefully facing the mute.
Today's corridor is not as quiet as before, and the sound of footsteps coming and going has never stopped throughout the day.
At the end of the hour, five gongs were heard on the first floor, and everyone was invited out of the room. Immediately, the entire inn seemed to be poured into hot oil, and it boiled quickly.
Zhao Liangyue walked out of the room, turned sideways and met the eyes of Bandit Chu who pushed open the door, he couldn't help being stunned for a while, but he still stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother, let's just vent your anger with me yesterday, today's business is the most important thing , there can be no more incidents."
Today, the black market is open, and there is a lot of people's voices. As long as you leave the room, you will be stared at by countless people.
Bandit Chu knew that Zhao Liangyue had already entered the role of the He family brothers, so he also put on that dandy look, asked Jing Mo to move the stool out, then sat down with his clothes lifted, and directly crossed Erlang's legs, blocking half of the corridor. Care about, pretending to be upset to the "fifth concubine younger brother" in front of him: "What's the matter, I'm the eldest son, so you still need to teach me these things?"
Zhao Liangyue apologized to the passers-by, and persuaded them a lot, all in a low-key attitude, never dare to say serious words.
At this time, the inn was guarded by warriors on all sides, and they could only go in and out. Until today, all transactions were finalized.
Seats have been set up on the first floor, several children are busy, and many visitors take their seats according to their status and influence.
"The idiot bag from Gyeonggi you mentioned is the two of them, right?"
On the first floor, several people were talking to the shopkeeper. One of them noticed the beautiful figure sitting and standing in the corridor on the second floor, and couldn't help clicking his tongue. The others also looked in the direction he pointed.
The shopkeeper said: "That's right. The eldest son of the He family is sitting there, and the fifth son is standing there. One is a concubine and the other is a concubine. Their positions are very clear."
"The red tape of Daxu people is troublesome, so pretending, how can we be as straightforward as Tu Yuan?"
"I heard that Mr. He dared to get angry and act wild in the inn on the second day after he came. In the end, his younger brother who was a concubine took out the Ye Mingzhu to solve it."
"Then it seems that Mr. He Wu is much better than his brother, and you see, this little boy looks better than a woman, and he has such a small waist that can be hugged with one hand. If it is on the bed, you can't put it on the bed." People's souls are hooked away?"
Several people laughed obscenely.
Someone asked again: "By the way, why did the shopkeeper allow the two of them to be brought into Chunlai's first black market?"
The shopkeeper smiled slightly, and said, "Because this fat sheep is easy to slaughter, and since the end of last year, how many black markets in the Southwest Territory have been blocked, and if they don't want to get into the account, how can they support their people?"
Several people knew it in their hearts, and someone asked a lot: "Then who is the shopkeeper going to cooperate with this time?"
The shopkeeper looked at the questioner and gestured to him with the jade wrench in his hand. A trace of fear flashed in the man's eyes, and he didn't dare to speak any more.
After another half an hour, all the guests in the inn were seated one after another, only Dongshou had an empty chair.
Zhao Liangyue asked the people next to him for advice: "I see that there is no one in the seat headed by me, could it be that there are more important people here today?"
The person next to him snorted and said: "It's the first time I come here because I don't know the rules. This seat is naturally for Jin Mianhu, but he does things based on his mood, and he hasn't shown up for five years."
Zhao Liangyue nodded, and said: "That must be a very powerful person. If I can cooperate with him once, wouldn't it be possible to win a lot of wealth?"
Responding to Zhao Liangyue's words was a long and contemptuous smile, as if no one had ever said such a stupid thing.
"Everyone, this year's spring black market has begun."
The shopkeeper stood up and bowed in front of everyone, then waved to the children on both sides, and then the children held more than ten bronze medals for each visitor.
The patterns of the bronze medals are different. The bronze medals obtained by the front row have complicated patterns, and the patterns become simpler as they go to the back row. When they reach the last row, the bronze medals in their hands have no patterns—the patterns of the bronze medals represent the amount of the bid. Size, the more complex the larger the amount.
Immediately afterwards, starting from No.1 on the left in the first row, I got up and showed everyone the wooden sign for access, followed by a blood-stained letter. After everyone in the front row nodded, I started to introduce the goods in my hand. If you are interested , you can bid on the spot with a bronze medal, similar to an auction.
Every businessman here has the letter about the blood seal. It is a voucher given by the shopkeeper after he takes someone to order the goods after entering the inn. The letter from Chu Bandit and his party is handled by Yan Chang, Zhao Liangyue and Chu Bandit are acting as the black market. Fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
And the bloodstain was dark red in color, and looked inexplicably cold. As the name suggests, it used real blood as ink, dipped it with a private seal from the black market and stamped it on the letter, and used the big blood that was sold to Tu Yuan as a slave. Many people's blood.
However, the Daxu merchants in the inn did not feel the slightest remorse for the origin of the blood mark, as if they did not know that they were also from Daxu, they were all laughing, and some of them were even the culprits.
Everyone here has dirty desires flowing from the beginning to the end, and they regard all violations of court orders, even mad transactions as
At this moment, this inn is already a hiding place for ghosts and monsters, a hell on earth for inflicting crimes.
After the round was over, a lot of bronze medals in everyone's books were given out—except for the He family brothers sitting in the middle and rear.
The shopkeeper seemed to have noticed it a long time ago. He glanced at the two of them lightly, and announced the second session of entering the black market without haste, that is, the buyer and the seller sat together directly and began to communicate with each other according to their own rules.
When the whole first floor was boiling, the shopkeeper gave "Shuiyan" a wink, and went to the He family brothers with him.
The shopkeeper bowed to He Wu, and said with a smile: "Today's goods are very good, from all corners of the country, why didn't you both like them?"
Zhao Liangyue first acted embarrassed, then seemed to struggle for a long time, leaned into the shopkeeper's ear and whispered a slang word about doing business in Gyeonggi.
The shopkeeper twitched the corner of his mouth, his heart was really like this, but on his face he suddenly realized, and immediately apologized and said with a smile: "The fifth son said earlier, I will recommend it to you."
Afterwards, the shopkeeper left for a while, and when he came back, he looked as if the matter had been completed, and said: "There is really someone who accepts your transaction, and you have already agreed, so here alone?"
Zhao Liangyue followed the direction pointed by the shopkeeper, there was a screen, and there were two faint figures on the side blocked.
Zhao Liangyue turned his head to look at "Water Swallow" Yan Chang, as if asking for advice.
The shopkeeper is a well-rounded person. He has been in contact with Shuiyan all the time. He knows that he is a mercenary. Everyone in the black market knows that he only accepts money. The young master of the He family in front of him was deceived by his clever words, so naturally he should trust him.
And Shuiyan didn't respond to He Wu at this moment, but looked up at the shopkeeper—the meaning was obvious, this was the reward after the important thing was done.
The shopkeeper smiled faintly, stretched out a few fingers, then Shuiyan smiled with satisfaction, and nodded to the He family brothers.
Then, the He family brothers really asked the shopkeeper to lead the way.
Zhao Liangyue and Chu Bandit followed the shopkeeper through the crowd, and circled behind the screen under the eyes of all four.
There were two people sitting inside, one was the masked man who assisted the inn, and the other was a Daxu man wearing Tu Yuan's costume with his chest half exposed, who was the target of the Xiangyuan City Two-Headed Leopard this time.
Although Zhao Liangyue knew the other party's identity, he still pretended to be confused, so the shopkeeper introduced him in detail.
The shopkeeper saw that He Wu heard the words, his eyebrows stretched with joy, he raised his hand to salute the two seated people, and said: "I hope the business I'm talking about will come true."
The Two-Headed Leopard didn't care about He Yu who was arrogant and refused to salute. He squinted his eyes and looked at He Wu in front of him. Easy to say."
