After working all night, Li Bai slept until dusk before he woke up.

I felt my stomach gushing. Fortunately, there were freshly baked soup cakes and Biluo sellers at the entrance of the alley, and I actually gave me a bowl of hot fish soup for Xun Qing's sake.

"Speaking of this, where is Yunjianlou?"

Until he was full, Li Bai finally remembered the important matter and turned around and asked.

"One of the largest gold-selling caves in Changlefang is a place where rich people are extremely luxurious. It is said that as long as they are willing to spend money, there is no fun that they cannot enjoy. I don't know no matter how much. After all, do you seem to be able to afford to go wherever they can?"

Xun Qing snorted coldly, "I don't have a reward of ten taels of silver when entering the door, and even the door greets you."

"So exaggerated?" Li Bai was stunned for a long time with the empty bowl, and noticed the meaning of Xun Qing's repulsion and resistance: "What? The people there have a grudge against you?"

"It's not considered a grudge. Maybe they don't know me at all..." Xun Qing shook his head unhappily, "I just can't stand it. Those scum who make money will sooner or later be punished!"

"Good scolding!" The busy stall owner interrupted, full of disdain and disgust: "Ji Xian, the bastard who had no son and grandson, must die a good death!"

As he said that, his hands kept moving and served two more bowls to the new customers.

The stall owner's scolding caused ripples in the crowd, and the sound of spitting was endless, which made Li Bai a little surprised. This was the first time he had seen such a guy who was angry and resentful.

"What did he do?" Li Bai asked, "Why is it so annoying?"

"Hey, they are now a famous big businessman in Chang'an City. How could they have something to do with our group of Anlefang residents who don't even have a household registration?"

The middle-aged man who was eating noodles next to him sneered, shook his head, and said nothing more.

Xun Qing's expression was complicated and he sighed.

Li Bai thought about it carefully for a long time, but found that the market he knew was completely unaware of Anlefang.

"Don't think about it, Anlefang disappeared fifteen years ago." Xun Qing shook his head and put down his chopsticks. "Now there are only homeless residents like us."

"there is none left?"

Li Bai looked around, and the huge market was still running. Countless organs formed a part of this huge city. How could such a big thing disappear if it was lost?

"Things like institutions have a lifespan, Li Bai." Xun Qing sighed lightly: "The same is true for the market... but some can die of life, while others may not have that good luck."

"Once the lifespan of the market is about to end, the official Yu Hengsi's official institution will begin to gradually move the market to the periphery of Chang'an, start to peel off and delegate, and finally sink into the bottom of Chang'an, becoming an empty abandoned house."

Xun Qing paused for a moment and whispered gloomyly: "But sometimes, the market will be damaged due to accidental reasons."

If you trace it upward, it would be the disaster that shocked the entire Chang'an fifteen years ago.

It does not exist in the records of texts and archives, but only in the accident that is passed down by word of mouth between those who have experienced it and later generations - [The Great Collapse].

Fifteen years ago, Anlefang, the prosperous market in Chang'an City, should have had a long time of more than seventy years.

But suddenly, it was discovered that the core was seriously damaged, leaving only a short night of remaining life.

It was a shocking change.

Before dawn, countless people escaped in a panic and were displaced, and more people fell into the underground world with the broken market.

After losing everything, they become homeless residents. If they are wealthy or have a skill, it would be fine, but more people will be forced to wander among various markets and find a new place to stay.

But Chang'an City is so big, every inch of land is occupied, so where are there so many places that can accommodate these displaced people?

"I was a four-year-old child at that time. My parents and sister were gone, begging for food alone..." Xun Qing shook his head and sighed: "If it weren't for the teacher, I would have starved to death long ago."

Hearing Xun Qing's words, the expressions of the people around him also faded.

Recalling the pain of the past.

Even after so many years, the inner trauma of many people still cannot heal. Family, property, life... many people have lost everything and have nothing.

"That's how Ji Xian made his fortune!"

Someone said hatefully: "When the old master saw that he was pitiful, he was kind-hearted to take him in, but unexpectedly, he raised a ungrateful wolf!"

Sometimes, the world is so absurd. When countless people are in grief, they can still laugh and build their own happiness on the pain of others.

Just like Ji Xian, the boss behind Yunjianlou.

When the collapse occurred, he first realized that the first thing he did was not to rescue the victims, but how to make money with these dead people.

By colluding with a group of rangers and villains, he began to resell the remains of the market and dismantled many institutions from Anlefang to sell them into the ghost market.

For this reason, I have forced many victims to die.

But he transformed from a homeless man to a wealthy man in Chang'an City.

So many people are still in the sea of ​​suffering, but he can step on other people's corpses and travel thousands of miles... If there weren't people like him who took advantage of the situation, how could so much suffering exist?

None of the remains of Anlefang who does not hate Ji Xian, and even some victims who were forced to die by him wanted to die with him, but were all solved by the bodyguards beside him.

"If things are related to him, it will be troublesome."

When the two returned to the workshop, Xun Qing lowered his voice and reminded: "That guy is like a turtle, hiding it tightly and not revealing his flaws easily."

"If you just sit and wait, there will be no supper in the sky."

Li Bai held a grassroot that he had found from somewhere. After pondering for a while, he suddenly said, "We must take the initiative."

He asked, "Where is Yunjianlou?"

"Are you crazy?" Xun Qing said in shock: "If it were his move, he would definitely be on guard against us now. As soon as we enter Yunjianlou, he will be played with and applaud. At that time, he will have the final say in rubbing the rounds and rounding them?"

Li Bai raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "Who said we were going to enter from the main gate with a dignified look?"

"Give up."

Xun Qing began to pour cold water: "The security at Yunjianlou was never interrupted. There were more than six swordsmen guards on each floor. There were four teams patrolling inside, and there were also institutional teachers in charge. Not to mention the bodyguards brought by the dignitaries who went there to play, they could not pour water in, so don't dream of sneaking in."

"...How do you know so clearly?"

Li Bai was stunned for a long time, not because he was shocked and was guarding Yunjianlou, but because he was surprised and Xun Qing knew this very well!

“…”

Xun Qing immediately looked away awkwardly.

Who didn’t have the dream of being a hero when he was young?

"I really have no room for diving into it?" Li Bai was skeptical.

"Not at all!" Xun Qing shook his head dissolutely.

"Then let's go in openly!"

Li Bai slapped the table without hesitation.

"Hey, don't come to deliver food!" Xun Qing shivered for a moment. Thinking of the bad deeds of this guy dragging him into the thief's nest, a sign of uneasiness suddenly appeared in his heart.

"It just seems that you need to make a little change."

Li Bai pinched his chin, looked at his face, and walked around him several times. The smile on his face made Xun Qing even more uneasy.

Xun Qing shrank back a little in panic.

I have a bad feeling.

When Xun Qing saw what Li Bai had taken out of his arms, his eyes suddenly turned dark.

But it's too late.

When he was about to run away, Li Bai had already pressed his hands and legs on his chair.

"After thinking about it, this is probably the only way."

Li Bai opened the ink cartridge in his hand, picked up the brush, and sighed melancholy: "For everyone, I'm sorry for you, Xun Qing."

"Help!"

Xun Qing cried in shock: "Don't come here!!!"

In this way, the frightened face was covered with darkness.

Two hours later, in Changlefang, under the bright lights and wine, crowds of people came and went.

At the intersection, a blond man with blue eyes rudely pulled the servant behind him, attracting many people's curious eyes. Unfortunately, there was no righteous man jumping out to help him, which was particularly regrettable.

The little Kunlun slave with dark skin and curly hair was now in tears, looking pitiful, wearing a cloth clothes, trembling in the cold wind, and it seemed that he had suffered a lot on weekdays.

"Don't forget the background I agreed on before-"

The man walking in front raised his head and lowered his voice, "My name is White Li, you are my servant, Zhu Yeqing. We are the kind of luxury merchants from Haidu, the kind who is not short of money. Remember to pretend to be a little like a little later... Also, can you lift your head? You are not asking you to wear women's clothes..."

"Why are you the master, I am a slave!" Xun Qing was about to cry: "Also, what the hell is Zhu Yeqing? Will there really be people from Haidu calling this name!"

"How about you burn a knife?"

"Can't you start a name other than wine?"

"Shh!"

Li Bai whispered and interrupted him: "It's coming soon!"

During the conversation, they had already arrived under the magnificent high-rise building. With countless lights, countless luxurious mechanisms and carriages were coming and going, and the door under the steps was even more enthusiastic.

When they noticed the two people walking up with a swagger, someone immediately walked up quickly.

Behind Li Bai, Xun Qing held his breath and was sweating profusely.
