After the replacement of the delicate imperial concubine, my emperor will never come to court again

Chapter 429 Looking for Memory
After a day of rest, Amu received news that Chu Shu and Xie Taichu were on the wanted list.

This is the murder business in the black market here. If someone wants to kill someone, they can post a bounty list in the black market. There is no such thing as announcing the list, and anyone can participate. Whoever comes to see me with the head in the end will get the reward.

Chu Shu and Xie Taichu were put on the wanted list just one day after arriving in the Western Regions. The price offered was not low, almost the same as the price of the horse bandit leader.

Some people who knew the situation speculated that it might have been released by someone from the royal family of Da'an, with the purpose of avenging the destruction of the Daliang spy network.

However, judging from the fact that Chu Shu was assassinated on his way back to Daliang, it might not be that simple.

While chewing on a big steamed bun, Amu was wondering why Chu Shu was being hunted down.

"I still tend to think that you have stumbled upon something very important without realizing it, but you haven't noticed it yet."

Chu Shu listened and sighed, "When I was recuperating, I reviewed my past experiences several times and discussed them with my senior brother, but I really didn't find any important points."

Amu grinned and said, "Don't just think about it. Now that we're back in the Western Regions, why don't we just start over again?"

That’s indeed possible!

So the three of them packed some dry food and water, gave instructions to the people in the Western Regions Protectorate, and set off on camels.

They followed Chu Shu's memory. Because they were envoys before, their memories were basically of places like markets or city-states. They did not go deep into the desert or walk too far.

While walking again, the three of them took the opportunity to observe the situation in the Western Regions.

Amu is very popular here, and everyone knows him. Now that he is an official in Daliang, there are even more people trying to curry favor with him. Amu enjoys this situation and doesn't find it troublesome at all.

Along the way, many people came to see us off and invited us to sit down and have a rest.

Amu did not refuse any of them. He provided the person who gave the gift with the information they wanted in just a few words. He was very straightforward.

Chu Shu joked, "You are the highest official in the Western Regions of Daliang, and you are still doing these information trading things?"

Amu didn't take it seriously and said frankly, "This is a talent. Isn't it a pity to not use it?"

"Besides, it is precisely because of my identity that I have given up the black market business and have given up a lot!"

Chu Shu shook his head and smiled, then looked towards the market and saw a woman wrapped in a red veil walking past with her head lowered. Suddenly, as if his memory had been triggered, he called out to the woman.

"Where did you buy this headscarf?"

The woman turned around and looked at Chu Shu. Seeing that he was a handsome man, she replied, "I bought it at the market in front. What's the matter?"

Chu Shu shook his head, his mind consciously touched, but he still couldn't figure out why.

Xie Taichu said: "Let's go to the market!"

The three men handed the camel to the merchant and walked into the market.

The further he went inside, the stronger Chu Shu's feeling became, and he seemed to be about to remember it.

Xie Taichu and A'mu were very natural. They walked, looked around, bargained, and finally bought one or two things.

Finally, we came to a stall selling veils. The red veil we saw was hanging on a wooden rack, fluttering in the wind, looking very beautiful.

Amu reached out and touched it: "Superb!"

The shop owner was a woman, also wearing a similar veil on her head, and she smiled and said, "Good taste!"

Chu Shu walked up to the stall, looked the owner over, and then looked at the things on the shop.

But I feel that the matter has nothing to do with the shop owner.

After wandering for a while, Amu bought the same veil and the three of them continued forward.

After that, Chu Shu felt confused, and finally walked out of the market without thinking of anything.

The three men packed up the things they bought, tied them to the camel, and returned along the same road.

"Sorry, I still can't remember it." Amu and Xie Taichu nodded indifferently: "It's okay."

"Anyway, the other party doesn't know whether you have remembered it or not, so just wait and see if he reveals his true colors."

Chu Shu looked up at Xie Taichu who said this. It turned out that the two of them didn't expect him to remember at all.

A-Mu quickly pointed at Xie Taichu and said, "This was all his idea! He was the one who asked me to come along. It's so conspicuous that those who want to kill people will see it and become desperate!"

Chu Shu smiled bitterly: "Then why didn't you tell me?"

Amu continued to point at Xie Taichu: "He said that, what if you remember it?"

Xie Taichu pointed at Amu and said, "Don't take it so easy. You are an old fox with a lot of tricks up your sleeve. You must have the same idea as me. Just wait for me to speak first!"

Amu chuckled, then quickly stopped smiling: "Should we act more anxious?"

So the three of them hurried back, returned to the tent and never came out again, and saw no one. It was as if they had thought it all out and were thinking about a countermeasure.

Just because they had visited the general before, those people were jealous of the reward list, but they couldn't find a chance and didn't dare to take action. After all, they were surrounded by the Daliang army's protectors, and Chu Shu didn't come out.

What should the person behind the scenes do?
Be anxious!

If you want to kill someone, you have to get close.

Anyone who came to visit in the past few days is a suspect.

Xie Taichu gave the Chu Book to A'mu, and quietly changed his appearance and sneaked into the ghost market.

There is a fixed contact person in every ghost market. If you contact this person and gain his trust, you can get a wooden sign, which is the doorplate to enter the ghost market.

In order to get this house number, you need to gain the trust of the contact person and pass the contact person's test. The first thing is to find the contact person.

Generally speaking, if you are a bad person but not on the wanted list, it is easy to enter the ghost market.

These were easy for Xie Taichu.

He doesn't act like a good person.

In order to attract the attention of the contact person, he sat down directly at one of the busiest tea stalls in the market and poisoned all the people working there.

Then he was arrested and stayed in jail for several days. After he was released, the contact person took the initiative to find Xie Taichu.

"Why did you poison those people?"

"How can I sell the antidote if I don't poison you? Who are you?"

Xie Taichu looked evil and immediately got the approval of the contact person and got the wooden sign.

"Break the wooden sign below at midnight and you will get the address of the ghost market."

After the contact person finished speaking, he disappeared into the crowd in the market like a ghost.

Xie Taichu thought about it, returned home, sealed the doors and windows, making the room dark, and then smashed the wooden sign.

There were words written in glowing material on the wooden sign, which indicated the address of the black market.

"It turns out to be here!"

Who would have thought that the black market was really underground?

To the west of the market, there is an underground river. A long time ago, a storm blew away the sand, revealing the cave underneath.

This naturally formed cave seems to be shaped by groundwater. In the dark night of the desert, you have to wrap yourself in cotton clothes to enter it.

However, Xie Taichu went looking for the place in broad daylight.
