My lady, I'm going to rebel.

As a guide, Sha Yuyi was quite competent, chattering non-stop along the way: "This street is about a mile long, but within this short mile there are three alleys. The first alley sells mostly rare treasures, such as medicinal herbs, minerals, precious furs... all kinds of things."

"Hmm?" Mu Zheng interrupted Lesha Yuyi: "Can't these things be traded normally outside? Why are they being sold on the black market?"

Sha Yu shook his head. "Some medicinal herbs and minerals are so precious that their value means they belong to the upper class. Ordinary people like us can only buy them on the black market."

Mu Zheng suddenly realized that those upper-class people would not only not pay high prices for precious medicinal materials and minerals, but might even forcibly take them away. Otherwise, these ordinary people would not take such risks in the black market.

"There are some iron weapons for sale in the second alley. This alley is very popular in the black market, but it may not be worth mentioning to you people from the Central Plains." Sha Yu continued to introduce.

Li Cheng smiled slightly after hearing this: "That's right. The weapons of us Central Plains people are so powerful that they can cut through hair. The reason you Xiongnu people have been able to confront us for so many years is mainly because of your ruthlessness."

Uh.

Mu Zheng and Li Lian pretended not to hear Li Cheng's words, while Nasha Yu's mouth stiffened slightly, but he quickly regained his professional smile. "Iron cavalry is too scarce in the Xiongnu. Because of the strict control, we can only buy them on the black market."

"Yes, ironware has always been an object of key control by the court. Even in the Central Plains, whether it is the previous dynasty or the current Daxin, farmers need to register if they want to use ironware." Li Cheng also realized the unpleasantness he caused, and then tried to break the awkwardness with Sha Yuyi's words.

But Sha Yu ignored her.

"What about the third alley?" Mu Zheng spoke to ease the atmosphere.

"The third one..." Sha Yu paused, "You won't be able to see it today. Although it's an alley, the real venue is a courtyard. It's mainly used for auctions and is only open on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month."

At this point, Sha Yu added, "Come to think of it, I initially thought you were here for an auction. After all, very few of our Xiongnu items make it to auction. It's the wealthy bosses in the Central Plains who are so generous that anything they casually buy is worth a fortune. I remember that last month, the auction house sold several items, all from caravans from the Central Plains."

Mu Zheng's expression changed. "Miss, have you ever come into contact with a caravan from the Central Plains?"

Sha Yu chuckled and said, "Of course, after all, we make money from you Central Plains people."

Uh.

Mu Zheng felt stupid.

"Then have you ever heard of a caravan called 'Jingpiao'?" Mu Zheng asked again.

"Beijing drifter?" Sha Yu didn't even consider it and simply shook his head. "We never pry into our clients' privacy. Just like you, I haven't pried into anything from the beginning to the end."

Mu Zheng was silent.

"Brother Mu, why are you asking about this Beijing migrant? Is he your friend?" Li Cheng asked.

"Yeah. A friend of mine from Lanling." Mu Zheng responded simply. Li Cheng felt relieved when she heard it. She wanted to train and win over Mu Zheng, and she was afraid that he was involved with certain forces.

The few of them soon arrived at the first alley, but they just took a quick look and didn't buy anything.

Then, everyone went to the second alley.

"Be careful, there's someone following you." Mu Zheng's keenness was the result of years of training, and he quickly discovered that someone was following him.

"Oh?" Li Lian's expression changed, but they remained calm, as if they didn't know anything, still looking around, very calm.

However, Sha Yu's expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to turn back, he was stopped by Mu Zheng, "Don't be nervous, just continue to explain the situation."

Sha Yu said "oh", but his voice became nervous when he introduced the situation next.

"Who could it be? I'll go chop him up." Li Cheng glanced at the corner in front of him. "As long as we can lure them into that corner, I promise to finish the job with one blow and won't let anyone else find out."

"Come on." Mu Zheng curled his lips: "Before coming here, you told everyone not to cause trouble, and now you are the one who is causing the most trouble."

"Haha!" Li Lian laughed twice. "That's right, you're really too fierce, woman. They're just a few little rascals, ignore them. If these people really don't know what's going on, I'll show myself first."

Sha Yu was terrified as he listened from the side.

Aren't people in the Central Plains said to be afraid of the Xiongnu? Why do these merchants sound as if killing people is just like slaughtering chickens and cattle?

She looked at Mu Zheng and others strangely, did not dare to say anything, and obediently led the way.

Originally, no one wanted to walk around the second alley, but since we had nothing better to do, and we wanted to see what the tails at the end meant, so we went in and took a walk around.

After walking around, I didn't see anything interesting.

"Where are the nameplates of the upper class usually found?" Mu Zheng asked Sha Yuyi, but Sha Yuyi shook his head and said, "That depends entirely on chance. You can't find it just by looking for it."

Ok.

Li Lian felt so bored. "Let's go back. It's getting late."

Everyone nodded.

After leaving the black market, Sha Yu wanted to separate from everyone else, but Li Cheng held her back: "Wait a little longer. The tail at the back hasn't been dealt with yet, and I'm afraid they'll cause trouble for you."

Sha Yi nodded.

She wanted to leave early because she was afraid of getting into trouble, but now that Li Cheng was holding her, it was difficult for her to leave.

"These people are really persistent." Li Lian clenched his fists as he walked. "Tell me, we've only been in the city for a day or two, how come we're already being targeted?"

"Maybe it's because you are from the Central Plains, and you are doing business." Sha Yu said.

"Oh? This shows that we are from the Central Plains?" Li Lian pointed to his clothes and mask from the frontier.

"Don't forget, we changed our clothes after entering the black market, which means we were targeted before entering the black market." Mu Zheng replied.

The few of them were walking and chatting. After a few steps, Mu Zheng saw a dark alley in front of him, and several dark shadows walked out of the alley one after another.

"Is it them?" Sha Yu seemed to recognize some of them and his expression changed slightly.

"Do you know him?" Li Cheng asked.

Sha Yu showed a horrified expression on his face, and at the same time, he did not forget to use his hands to cover his face. "They are well-known thugs in the city. The one walking in front is called Tian Long, a gentleman. He is said to be a martial arts expert and has fought against Han people in the south before."

Sha Yu subconsciously hid behind Li Cheng, muttering to himself, "Don't let her recognize me, otherwise there will be trouble in the future. No, hiding is not a solution, let's run."

"Run? Thinking of running now? Isn't it a bit late?" In the silent night, Sha Yuyi's words were clearly heard by the other party. Tian Long said with a chuckle, "I didn't expect my name, Tian, ​​to be so famous. But there's one thing wrong. Not only did I kill the Han people, I also killed those lousy generals of theirs."

Tian Long said as he stepped forward, and soon, seven or eight people surrounded Mu Zheng and his companions.

"Are you guys going to be dogs on your own initiative, or do you want me to beat you like dogs?" Tian Long pointed at Mu Zheng arrogantly and asked.
