The concubine is coming, please be gentle, my lord

Chapter 143 Black City
Heicheng is probably the wealthiest city in the entire Southwest. To summarize Heicheng in one sentence, the income of the entire Southwest is worth half of Heicheng's, which shows how rich Heicheng is.

Nanming is not the closest county to Heicheng, but it is not the farthest either.

The surrounding county towns followed Heicheng, and they could get some light and drink some soup, but Nanming was the only one who was excluded by Heicheng.

The lord of the Black City is the brave and warlike prince of Xiliang——Zhan Tianling, who has an extremely domineering and unreasonable personality. If he doesn't like a person, he won't even like that place.

In the past, he didn't know which unsightly person in Nanming County provoked him, and he was almost beaten to death, and people from Nanming County were forbidden to enter the black city.

Even if anyone has an opinion, they dare not protest. The truth lies under the power, and all dissatisfaction is suppressed.

"Boss, are you really going to Heicheng?"

This is the fifth day of rain. Fortunately, the rain has gradually subsided, and there are only some small rain flowers. However, after several days of heavy rain, the roads are impassable, and there may be danger of landslides or collapses at any time. There will be no outsiders for the time being. Came to Nanming County.

However, there is not much salt left, if you don't go, I'm afraid everyone will have to eat tasteless food in three to five days.

"Boss, why don't we wait a little longer." Everyone knows that if you go to Heicheng on this day, the chance of dying is too high.

"Cai Xiaoshan, if you keep arguing here, come out, don't you see the lady eating?" These days, the lady went out with everyone to fight the danger, and she didn't eat well, and she didn't sleep well. Now After finally sitting down to eat a warm meal, Cai Xiaoshan was just there chirping, it was really annoying to listen to.

"Oh, it's time to eat, and I haven't eaten yet. Qixi and I will take a pair of chopsticks." Cai Xiaoshan sat down cheekily, and his stomach just started singing.

Qixi rolled her eyes, but still placed a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

"Boss, I don't think it's useless to go to Heicheng." Cai Xiaoshan thought for a while, and said truthfully: "We also went to Heicheng to find Zhanwang before, but unfortunately they didn't let us in at all. At that time, we pretended to be other people. People from the county, I don’t know how they recognized it, they were stopped at the gate of the city.”

Tried too many tricks, but unfortunately none of them succeeded. Later, the king of war was furious, saying that people from Nanming County would enter the black city again to kill Wushe, so no one would take the risk.

Hearing Cai Xiaoshan say a lot, Gu Xiaoqian thought for a while, "Why did the war king allow salt to be transported from Heicheng?"

Cai Xiaoshan tightened his hand holding the chopsticks, and said mockingly: "There is no salt, there will be no one in Nanming, I'm afraid the king will blame it."

Qixi had never seen Cai Xiaoshan's serious face before, and there was an inexplicable vicissitudes on his young face, which made people feel a little distressed.

"What the hell is that war king? Why is he being so unreasonable? Don't worry, Cai Xiaoshan, our lady will go out and make sure that war king knows what it means to be afraid." Qi Xi said proudly.

It provoked Gu Xiaoqian to look sideways, "Qixi, don't add me before you talk big." She is not a tiger, so she can be afraid of anyone.

Qixi said seriously: "Miss, don't be modest, I believe in you."

Gu Xiaoqian said with embarrassment, "You don't have to trust me, I went to get salt, not to fight with anyone."

"Miss, how can you bear to watch that Zhan Wang bullying people from Nanming County? It's so annoying, I can't bear it." Qixi rushed forward, grabbed Gu Xiaoqian's arm, and began to shake, "Miss , shall we help them?"

She just believed that her young lady would have a way.

For some reason, she has a kind of blind confidence in the current young lady. Maybe the young lady has done too many things that are unbelievable to her. The current young lady believes that she can go to the sky and embrace the moon.

Cai Xiaoshan was amused by Qixi's almost blind worship, and the darkness in his heart dissipated, "Sister Qixi, I thank you in advance, but don't embarrass the boss about this matter, the general Zhanwang dare not mess with it."

"Alright, don't use aggressive tactics against me." Gu Xiaoqian didn't intend to stand up for anyone.

Qixi pouted, unhappy.

After dinner, Gu Xiaoqian asked people to pack up their things, and picked a few skilled people to lead the mule and follow her out of the city.

At the gate of the city, Cai Xiaoshan, Cai Sanshui, and Cai Xiaoxiao looked at her with their bags on their backs.

"Aren't you asked to take care of Nanming's rescue? You are all here, who is watching?" Gu Xiaoqian asked.

"Boss, there is Mrs. Cai in the city. It will be fine. We just want to go with you, and we will take care of you if there is something to do." Cai Xiaoshan said sincerely.

Gu Xiaoqian ignored him, she didn't know about their small thoughts, "Cai Xiaoxiao, come back with me, why don't you join in the fun." Cai Xiaoxiao's sunflower water came these few days, and she was already uncomfortable , It is not good for the body to be exposed to the rain.

"No, why do you let me go back alone?" Cai Xiaoxiao was 1 dissatisfied.

Hey, every time I do something, these people will come to join in the fun, "I'm going to buy salt, you must know better than me how dangerous the road is, I didn't bring Qixi out, don't worry about anything, I think It's better if there are more people." Gu Xiaoqian said seriously, seeing a few people who didn't speak, but seemed to listen to it, took a few steps forward, looked at Cai Xiaoxiao: "Well, if you feel lonely, let Cai Xiaoshan How about staying with you?"

"Why?" Cai Xiaoshan was impatient.

"Hey, why do you say?" Cai Sanshui hooked his neck and took him back. This is another protest. In case the three of them, Gu Xiaoqian, don't take any of them, it's a big deal, "Okay Well, it's getting late, Xiaoxiao, you can take Xiaoshan back, I will go with the boss, and I will be back in seven or eight days, and Nanming will be handed over to you."

As he said that, without waiting for Cai Xiaoshan to speak, he pushed the person and almost fell on Cai Xiaoxiao.

"Boss, let's go." Cai Sanshui stepped forward to take the mule from someone, and walked in the front.

Gu Xiaoqian smiled and said nothing, exchanged a glance with Cai Xiaoxiao, and left...

All the roads to Heicheng are mountain roads. Fortunately, the people selected are all veterans of mountain roads, and they can clearly feel where there are small roads...

It has been raining for several days, and the road is muddy and difficult to walk. After walking for a while, the feet have to be strained. After walking for a while, the whole group is covered in sweat, and their legs are getting heavier and heavier...

There is no shortcut, the few of them can only grit their teeth and walk...

The sound of the wind, the sound of the rain, and the heavy panting of everyone...

It was too depressing, Gu Xiaoqian looked at it this way, no way, cleared his throat, "Comrades, who of you can sing?"

Face to face, comrades?What does this mean?
"Boss, why don't you come first?" Cai Sanshui was the first to react and booed.

"Yes, boss, you sing first." The rest of the people, like Cai Sanshui, called Gu Xiaoqian the boss.

Gu Xiaoqian didn't hesitate, she opened her mouth and started singing.

"A cloud on the mountain of the horses and horses
The picturesque photos are in the Liuliu city of Kangding
The moon is crooked, Kangding is a slippery city

The eldest sister of Li's family is very good.
The eldest brother of the Zhang family looks at her who stays behind
Moon Bay has a crush on her who is so cute..."

Gu Xiaoqian's voice was clear and good. Although it was a cappella, it sounded very pleasant at this moment. The whole group listened to her singing quietly, and their mood was not as heavy as when they were on the road in silence, but a little more relaxed.

At the end of the song, Gu Xiaoqian had the cheek to ask for applause.

Everyone was happy and applauded.

"Okay, I'll sing this too, each of you must sing one for me." Gu Xiaoqian looked at each of them one by one, and she let Xiao Hei scare anyone who dared not to sing, hehe, this time going out, she So she brought Xiao Hei, and Da Huang was left at home by her.

I remember that before going out, Qixi's teary eyes were hazy, with those small eyes, those who didn't know it thought she was abandoned by some philandering lover.

Rhubarb also had aggrieved eyes. If he could talk, why should he bring Xiao Hei without him? Anyway, he is taller and mightier.

With Gu Xiaoqian's reconciliation, the atmosphere was high along the way, and everyone no longer felt anxious before going out. If everyone knew that Gu Xiaoqian sang various songs to them along the way, and also told them a lot of drama, that Liangshan hundred General Zero Eight, their blood boiled when they heard it.

At first I wished I could have a shorter journey and arrive sooner.

Now I wish I could take a longer road and take two more steps.

Although there were some dangers on the road, God blesses me, I didn't encounter a single beast, and I didn't encounter landslides. Some places were blocked by mud and sand, and there were some detours...

Although it was a distance of one hundred and eighty miles, it took three full days to reach the border of Heicheng.

Heicheng is indeed Heicheng, this is the border, the official road is very smooth and easy to walk, there are many carriages coming and going, it looks very lively.

Everyone cheered up and wanted to straighten their clothes, but their bodies were covered in mud. The people who passed by looked at them with disdain, completely treating them as people fleeing refugees, and their faces turned red with embarrassment.

Gu Xiaoqian didn't seem to know the eyes of others, even though her clothes were dirty, she seemed to be wearing fine silk, and she walked like a queen, even Xiao Hei walked with her toes high...

Cai Sanshui has a smile on his face, he likes to see his boss like this, who is neither overbearing nor humble at any time, making people believe in her!

After traveling for another half a day, when we arrived at Heicheng, it was already dark and the city gates were closed.

There were also those who didn't arrive before the closing time stayed overnight at the gate of the city. Fortunately, the rain had completely stopped yesterday. Although the ground was wet, at least they didn't need to get wet.

Some lit a fire, and a circle of people roasted and chatted.

Cai Sanshui and the others had the cheek to go over to warm up, but unfortunately, others saw them as beggars, and they were not allowed to approach.

Those who are popular want to beat someone, they Nanming people are not rich, but they are not beggars either.

If it was in Nanming, Gu Xiaoqian would definitely move a small bench, grab some melon seeds, serve tea, and watch the fun by the side. Whoever wins the battle will be rewarded, but this is a black city, and the war king doesn't like people from Nanming County. In order to avoid further troubles, Gu Xiaoqian asked Cai Sanshui and the others not to do anything.

Cai Sanshui also knew that it would be bad for them to fight now, so he endured it.

"Okay, don't pretend, just now you stood in front of someone else's car for a while, what did you do?" Although Gu Xiaoqian didn't know Cai Sanshui very well, he also knew that this man had a stomach full of bad water, and he could still swallow this breath ?

"Hey." Cai Sanshui didn't deny it. He did throw something into someone else's carriage. It was a kind of itch powder, a kind of powder made from the bark of a kind of itch tree in the mountains. , they used to use it to trick others.

This time he lost more, I hope those people enjoy it.

Gu Xiaoqian didn't intend to ask further questions. In fact, Cai Sanshui's style of doing things was very appetizing to her. She was the one who hated the white lotus of the Virgin Mary the most. When someone beat her, she would still look like I know you have difficulties.

Sleeping until the middle of the night, I heard a faint noise coming from the carriage, Gu Xiaoqian pretended not to hear it, patted Xiao Hei's head, and continued to sleep...

At dawn, the gates opened, and businessmen entered the city one after another.

Now Gu Xiaoqian really wants to find an inn, take a good bath, have someone lead the mule, and prepare to enter the city.

"Wait, you can't go in." At the gate of the city, a man who looked like a soldier stopped them, and everyone who came over looked over curiously.

Cai Sansailor's hands tightened, as expected.

"Why can't we go in?" Gu Xiaoqian asked gently.

"The city lord stipulates that all Nanming people are not allowed to enter the black city, and those who violate it will be beheaded!" The soldier said with murderous aura, and the listeners were terrified, and their steps stopped, trying to get back on their feet.

Gu Xiaoqian was not afraid of what he would say, so he glanced at Cai Sanshui and the others curiously. After everything was like this, he could still recognize that they were from Nanming County.

"Brother, why do you say that we are from Nanming County? We are from Nanming County. Show evidence. Without evidence, we are not convinced." Gu Xiaoqian spoke softly, but his words were rogue.

The other party probably saw that Gu Xiaoqian was a woman, and didn't want to argue with her, so the weapon in his hand pointed at them, "Are you going?"

Gu Xiaoqian had never seen anything like this before. He drove them away without giving them a chance to speak, and suddenly became angry.

He put on an innocent look on his face, "Brother, we are not here to make trouble, but to buy salt, please be accommodating, both Nanming and Beiming are citizens of Xiliang."

"Hurry up and get out." The soldiers chased them away impatiently. The city lord doesn't like people in Nanming County, so they must be polite to others.

Seeing that his master was being bullied, Xiao Hei next to him went up and bit the opponent's leg. The soldier felt the pain and saw where the wild dog came from, and stabbed the wild dog with the long fork in his hand.

Xiao Hei was also clever, and ran towards the city after biting the man.

"Catch that dead dog for me." The soldier shouted to the other soldiers at the city gate.

Several other soldiers stepped forward to assassinate the dog, but it was a pity that Xiao Hei would slip through the only gap every time, as long as he found the right opportunity, he would bite.

Well done, Cai Sanshui and the others calmed down and silently cheered for Xiao Hei.

"What are you doing in a daze, go into the city." Gu Xiaoqian took a splayed step, and it happened that no one was guarding him.
