The Journey of Immortality of the Peerless Medical Concubine
Chapter 169: Encounter with the King of Qin
Hearing her words, Tang Tianyu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He really didn't expect that Wen Liuli could also discover it.
"Haha, is there anything clean here? Let's continue shopping."
After a moment, Tang Tianyu no longer thought about it. After all, when Wen Liuli had not yet started practicing, he could see the evil spirit on Tang Qingxue, so it was not surprising that he could see the death energy now.
As for the earthy smell she mentioned, Tang Tianyu actually smelled it as well. With his cultivation level, his five senses were already different from those of ordinary people. If Wen Liuli could smell it, how could he not smell it?
However, these matters were not his concern. He was just here to accompany his wife shopping and had no intention of enforcing the law.
Why bother? They earn their living by their own ability, right? It's just that their methods are a little dishonorable.
"Too!"
Hearing this, Wen Liuli nodded. It was a ghost market. If things could be seen in the light, who would be willing to sell them here in the middle of the night?
Spreading their hands, Wen Liuli and Tang Tianyu continued to move forward. Along the way, they discovered many things similar to the first vendor, most of which were things dug out from the ground.
Naturally, the two of them were not interested in these things. Even the treasures bestowed by the emperor in the palace were not worth their attention, let alone these unearthed items.
Just when both of them thought that the ghost market was full of similar things and lost interest, they saw a bunch of things that made them feel incredible.
“There really is everything for sale!”
Seeing this thing, Tang Tianyu and Wen Liuli couldn't help but look gloomy, and their voices became a little low.
It’s because they are so familiar with this thing. Just a while ago, the entire imperial city was in panic because of this thing.
What they saw was the opium that Tang Zonglun had ordered to be completely eradicated not long ago.
I didn't expect that even though they have been almost cleared out, I could still see this kind of thing in this ghost market.
"what are you doing?"
Seeing Tang Tianyu preparing to draw his sword, Wen Liuli's heart skipped a beat and he quickly grabbed his hand that was about to swing away.
"This thing is against the will of heaven and earth, so it is naturally destroyed."
Seeing Wen Liuli stopping him, Tang Tianyu couldn't help but frown. Logically, Wen Liuli should hate opium more than he did, so why was she stopping him at this time?
"Don't be impulsive. You're only treating the symptoms by destroying this stall. If you want to solve the problem, you have to start from the root."
"Let's take a look first. This is definitely not all the opium here."
"Madam, you are right!"
Hearing Wen Liuli's words, Tang Tianyu nodded. He was impulsive just now and wanted to destroy the whole thing.
After putting away his sword, Tang Tianyu couldn't help but take a few more glances at the opium vendor, whose eyes were full of fierceness.
Just as he turned around, he saw a familiar figure.
Seeing this figure, Tang Tianyu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and quickly poked Wen Liuli's arm.
"what happened?"
Feeling the movement in his hands, Wen Liuli raised his head and looked at Tang Tianyu, and asked with some confusion.
"Look over there."
"what?"
Hearing this, Wen Liuli looked in the direction Tang Tianyu pointed. She was really shocked when she saw it.
I saw a tall figure standing not far away, glancing at the opium vendor from time to time with his peripheral vision.
Wen Liuli had just seen that figure two days ago. It was the eldest prince, Prince Qin, Tang Tianmo.
"Why is he here?"
“You’ll know if you just ask!”
Having said that, Tang Tianyu directly took Wen Liuli's hand and walked towards Tang Tianmo.
Seeing the two people coming towards him, Tang Tianmo was stunned at first, and then a golden light suddenly emanated from his eyes.
Although he was wearing a mask, he and Tang Tianyu were brothers after all, and they could recognize each other just by looking at their figures.
The main reason is Tang Tianyu’s head of white hair, which is so conspicuous even at night.
"Why are you here?"
Seeing the two people approaching, Tang Tianmo asked with a smile.
"Haha, I came out for a walk. Why are you here, brother?"
"Yes, I came here to track down that thing."
As he spoke, Tang Tianmo pointed at the opium in the distance.
Upon hearing this, Tang Tianyu and Wen Liuli were both stunned. It turned out that someone had discovered the existence of opium before them.
Ever since Emperor Tang Zonglun issued an order to eradicate opium, opium has gradually faded from people's sight. Just when everyone thought that this thing had disappeared, someone suddenly discovered traces of opium again.
And it wasn't just one or two people who were addicted to this stuff, many people were addicted.
This matter soon attracted the attention of the imperial court. After all, opium was no trivial matter. If it became rampant again like before, it would be difficult to stop it.
So, as soon as he received the news, Tang Zhentian handed the matter over to Tang Tianmo for investigation.
Originally, Tang Tianmo didn't know that there was a ghost market here, but during the investigation, he came into contact with an opium addict, who said that his opium came from the ghost market.
After a lot of investigation, Tang Tianmo finally found this place, and he had just arrived here. While he was amazed, he quickly found the drug dealer.
With the attitude of not alerting the enemy, Tang Tianmo quietly waited here, thinking that he would find the source of the poison as soon as the daybreak came. Unexpectedly, he met Tang Tianyu and the others here.
After learning what had happened, Tang Tianyu and Wen Liuli were both stunned. They had been staying at home for a while and didn't know much about what was happening in the outside world. They didn't expect that they had attracted the attention of the court.
Thinking about how Tang Tianling suddenly told him about the existence of the Ghost Market today, Tang Tianyu couldn't help but twitch his lips.
There is no need to think about it. I must have been used by Tang Tianling. If you want me to help you, why don't you just say it directly? Why are you beating around the bush?
And do I look like such a naive person? If you just said there was opium, I would not sit idly by.
This kid, hey~
Obviously, Tang Tianling appeared in Prince Wu's Mansion during the day not just to drink. Drinking was only one of the reasons. The other reason was that he wanted to ask Tang Tianyu for help. After all, no one knew more about opium than Tang Tianyu and Wen Liuli.
Furthermore, it is still unknown who is the mastermind behind the scenes. Tang Tianling is also a little worried about Tang Tianmo's safety, so he thought of Tang Tianyu.
After all, they are just princes and do not have the power to mobilize the masters of the court. Tang Tianmo is only a ninth-grade warrior. If the other party's cultivation is too high, Tang Tianmo might be in danger.
And letting Tang Tianyu come would undoubtedly give Tang Tianmo a guarantee of life. After all, as long as Tang Tianyu was there, even if the other party was a grandmaster, Tang Tianyu could keep him safe.
Of course, it was because Tang Tianmo was in charge of investigating this matter. If it was Tang Tianqi, there was no telling what Tang Tianling would do. He even wished that Tang Tianqi would die here. They were all brothers, and there was no such affection between him and Tang Tianqi.
"Well, how about we go for a walk first? If we stay here all the time, it might arouse suspicion."
Just as the two were talking, Wen Liuli suddenly interrupted and said that she had noticed that the vendor had looked over here more than once, and it was very likely that the man had become suspicious.
If he finds out, it might be difficult to follow the clues.
After hearing Wen Liuli's words, the Tang Tianyu brothers looked at each other and then nodded.
Then the three of them walked towards the depths of the ghost market together. At the same time, Tang Tianyu also imprinted his spiritual consciousness on the opium vendor.
In fact, there are quite a few people in this ghost market. Although it is not as lively as the daytime market, it can still be said that there are people coming and going.
Because he had dispersed his spiritual sense, Tang Tianyu noticed that the people here did not seem to be ordinary people. Whether they were vendors or buyers, almost all of them had some level of cultivation.
Those with lower cultivation levels are martial artists of the third or fourth rank, while those with higher levels are even martial artists of the eighth or ninth rank, but there are no masters above the grandmaster level.
After observing the people around him, Tang Tianyu had some guesses in his mind. He thought that these people were not ordinary people. They were most likely people from the martial arts world, or even disciples from some big sects, or elders.
But this is understandable. After all, not everyone can find out about the Ghost Market. Although it is not far from the imperial city and not very hidden, it is extremely difficult to receive news from here.
Apart from the imperial court, perhaps only certain sects in the martial arts world have the means to know the existence of such a place.
After these gangsters came here, they were extremely abiding by the rules. Although there were many people coming and going, they spoke very little. Apart from occasionally talking to vendors, you could hardly hear them speak anything else.
This surprised Tang Tianyu very much. You know, people in the martial arts world are the most difficult to manage. They often have no rules in their eyes. Even if you are someone in the court, it is hard to say how much face they will give you. They will still take action when it is time to take action, and will not spare you when it is time to scold you.
As they walked, the originally quiet streets of the ghost market suddenly became noisy. Until they reached the deepest part, the lights here were different from those outside. They were truly brightly lit.
The lanterns hanging around were exceptionally bright, not only bright, but also numerous and dense. These lanterns almost illuminated the entire street, brighter than the street lights on Blue Star at night.
At the deepest part of the street, there stands an attic that is out of tune with the surrounding buildings.
Since this is just a small town, the surrounding buildings are relatively shabby, and some are even a bit dilapidated, but the attic in the deepest part is built like an inn in the city. It is not only large, but the lights inside are also unusually bright.
