I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

Once you actually arrive in this city of yellow sand, there are hardly any rules.

Each person needs to pay fifty taels of silver when entering the city; this is the basic entry fee.

Because basically, everyone who comes here isn't a tourist or an ordinary person; they all have their own purposes.

A small number of people were fleeing for their lives or hiding from debt collectors.

Most people are thinking about selling stolen goods or buying dirty things.

Any dirty work can find a market here.

Therefore, the existence of this Yellow Sand City is also very necessary.

Speaking of which, Lu Xuan had also killed some members of the Yellow Sand Gang before. No one knew where those people had gone to hide, and they all disappeared without a trace.

But Lu Xuan guessed that these Huangsha Gang members were probably related to the Yeliang Kingdom.

Because the Bai family had hired the Huangsha Gang.

The Bai family are actually spies from the Ye Liang Kingdom.

Entering the city was relatively straightforward; all you had to do was pay the fee.

What Lu Xuan didn't expect was that people had to pay fifty taels and horses had to pay twenty taels.

However, since this was a rule that had existed in Huangsha City for a long time, Lu Xuan simply followed it.

They didn't dwell on such matters.

The group that forced Lu Xuan to change carriages at the beginning were clearly using Huangsha City as a front to swindle people, specifically targeting inexperienced newcomers.

Lin Qiao obeyed Lu Xuan's orders and stayed inside the carriage without venturing out.

As an old man driving a carriage, Lu Xuan was the easiest to overlook. Even the fiercest-looking people only glanced at him and then ignored him. What threat could an old man pose? There was nothing to see.

Although this was Lu Xuan's first time here, he had obtained some information from the Chu family beforehand.

For example, which inn in this city is more trustworthy, what places you shouldn't go into without permission, and what characteristics or power structures exist among gangs.

At this moment, Lu Xuan was searching within the city for the inn that the Chu family had mentioned earlier.

Peace Inn.

The Peace Inn was a well-known name to Lu Xuan, and he never expected that there would be a similar place in this martial arts world.

Its effect is the same as that of the Peace Inn, which Lu Xuan is familiar with.

No fighting or violence is permitted within the grounds of the Peace Inn.

All guests of the inn will be protected by the Peace Inn.

Although the price is a bit high, it's worth it.

Some inns in Huangsha City are outright shady establishments. People check in that night, fall asleep, and then their knives are brought to them, and they'll steal everything they have.

Either the room rate is exorbitant.

In short, there are all sorts of tricks to rip you off without hesitation.

They have local gang connections and can easily call in dozens or even hundreds of people to chop you up. Let's see if you obediently take the money and settle things, or fight to the bitter end. After all, this is their territory, and even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.

Although there are many inns with similar reputations in Huangsha City, and similar incidents occur frequently, none of this affects Huangsha City's existence and popularity.

Especially this recent Flying Sand Arena.

It is said that in the Xuanwu Dynasty and the Yeliang Kingdom alone, there are many powerful families who have placed large bets on gambling.

For them, this is also the annual time to make money.

Those living in Huangsha City are all desperate criminals.

When it comes to spending money, it's absolutely insane.

Such arenas did not exist in the Xuanwu Dynasty.

Therefore, it can only exist in Huangsha City, and only Huangsha City has the ability to host such a bloody event.

Only by understanding the brutal competition system of the Flying Sand Arena can one truly appreciate how ruthless these powerful figures who control wealth can be.

Lu Xuan drove the carriage and finally arrived at the entrance of the Peace Inn.

The innkeeper of the Peace Inn was a beautiful woman with neatly styled hair that looked somewhat messy. Her hair was casually tied into a bun, with a worn-out, yellowed headscarf pinned to the side.

However, the way he rolled up his sleeves above his forearm and the occasional swear words perfectly showcased the innkeeper's shrewish character.

When they saw Lu Xuan and Lin Qiao come in.

A warm smile immediately appeared on the shopkeeper's handsome face.

"Oh, welcome, esteemed guests... Are you here for a meal or to stay the night?"

"Innkeeper, we'd like to stay at your inn."

Lu Xuan said.

"One room, stay for five days."

Lu Xuan said.

He wasn't sure how long it would take to sort things out.

That means we'll stay for five days first.

As for money, that's not a problem at all.

When the landlady heard that Lu Xuan was going to stay for five days, her eyes lit up and she beamed with joy.

This is a big client!

Although Peace Inn has a good reputation.

But the fees are high.

When it came to actually paying, these people were all very reluctant to do so and dared not spend any money.

After all, we've come all the way to this desert city, why would we specifically choose to stay in a safe and life-saving inn?

Then you might as well not come to Huangsha City at all.

Of course, the business here is also aimed at people who have committed heinous crimes.

For example, if a large number of enemies have chased you to your doorstep, then the only place in the entire Yellow Sand City that can spare your life is the Peace Inn.

Under these circumstances, the Peace Inn's fees would naturally be higher.

"Sir, you know the reputation of our Peace Inn."

"Three thousand taels a day, and small businesses don't offer credit; you need to pay in advance."

Three thousand taels a day!?

It's still just an inn.

This price sounds expensive at first glance.

But it's money to extend your life. If you stay in this Peace Inn for a day, it's like living another day.

By the time you arrive in time, all the problems will be solved.

However, the principles of the Peace Inn are only valid within the Peace Inn. Once you step outside this boundary, the inn will no longer be under your jurisdiction.

"Three thousand taels a night?"

"The price is reasonable."

Lu Xuan's face didn't show much emotion when he heard the price quoted by the Peace Inn.

Not only did they not complain about the price, but they also gave it their approval.

As he spoke, Lu Xuan also took out a gold ingot.

If it costs 3,000 taels of silver a day, then it would cost 15,000 taels of silver in five days.

If it were in gold, it would be 150 taels.

The gold ingot in Lu Xuan's hand was obtained from Huang Tianba.

When the proprietress saw the gold in Lu Xuan's hand, her eyes immediately lit up.

I couldn't help but swallow hard.

Then, under Lu Xuan's gaze, he actually reached out and snatched the gold away in the blink of an eye.

Lu Xuan was slightly surprised.

This seemingly delicate and frail proprietress is actually quite skilled.

The speed at which he made that move was clearly not slow.

He's at least a third-rank expert.

This made Lu Xuan realize that Huangsha City was probably no ordinary place. The shopkeeper alone had the strength of a third-rank official, and there must be an even stronger backer behind him.

That person was the foundation for ensuring the normal operation of the entire Peace Inn.

However, when Lu Xuan took out the gold, it wasn't just the shopkeeper's eyes that lit up; Lu Xuan could clearly feel that many of the diners in the hall also had their eyes shining.

Clearly, he had some ulterior motives in mind.

Lu Xuan was not upset about having his gold stolen.

"Perfect, perfect. This gold ingot of yours is worth about two hundred taels. We'll cover all your meals for the next few days, so keep the change."

"You know, although there's a lot of food in Huangsha City, there are only a few places that are actually edible. It's just that I'm in a good mood today; otherwise, the food for five days would be far more than this."

The innkeeper of the Peace Inn said this with an air of seriousness.

"Can."

"Please trouble you, innkeeper, to arrange a quieter room."

Lu Xuan said to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper immediately waved his hand, then slammed his hand on the table.

"What are you all standing there for? Quickly take our esteemed guest to the number one room to rest!"

At this moment, a waiter with a fair complexion and a somewhat immature appearance hurriedly slung the rag he was using to wipe the table over his shoulder and ran quickly toward Lu Xuan.

He said respectfully.

"Please come upstairs, esteemed guests."

He also had a warm smile on his face.

This was the shopkeeper's requirement, and he even provided special training.

Business at their Peace Inn hasn't been good lately. If the service doesn't improve, even fewer people will come.

Thank you.

Lu Xuan and Lin Qiao were led into their inn room by the waiter.

The inn's rooms were quite nice, clean and tidy, and the sheets were freshly washed.

Even though it was windy and dusty outside, the house was clean and tidy.

There were some small formations engraved on the windows, and it was the power of these formations that kept the wind and sand out.

Clearly, this inn has been carefully planned.

The carriages were all handed over to the waiter to look after.

"You rest in the room first, I'll go out and find out some information."

"This is the Peace Inn. As long as you stay here and don't leave without permission, you'll be safe."

Lu Xuan said to Lin Qiao.

"Yes, sir, you should also be careful."

Lin Qiao was also very worried about Lu Xuan.

After all, when she arrived in Huangsha City, she could clearly feel that the atmosphere inside Huangsha City was completely different from other places.

With her previous abilities, it wouldn't have been a problem for her to act as a chivalrous hero in a small place like Wuling County.

Plus, she has her father's status to back her up.

Catching a few petty thieves is no big deal.

But once you get to this Huangsha City, if you randomly grab someone off the street, the number of cases they've been involved in is probably more than all the people you've arrested in Wuling County combined.

Under such circumstances, Lin Qiao had no choice but to behave herself.

Even Lu Xuan became more cautious.

After settling Lin Qiao in, Lu Xuan also left the Peace Inn.

They had just stepped out of the inn's door.

Several people who were eating and drinking at the table simultaneously put down their bowls and chopsticks, grabbed their weapons, and immediately gave chase. This was done without any pretense.

I don't want to wait even a quarter of an hour.

The innkeeper's wife, seeing these figures chasing after them, had a cold glint in her charming eyes.

He then continued to manipulate the abacus in his hands.

"A bunch of ungrateful bastards."
