Zhao Yan is heartbroken, sister? Haha, he doesn't want, he just wants a wife! Well, it seems that the road to abducting a wife is long and arduous! But, he never lacks patience.

There was no cave, so I had to find a giant tree. Fortunately, the most inseparable thing in the deep mountains is the old trees that I have lived for many years.

This is a camphor tree, with the trunks that are about as thick as two people hugging each other. The main trunk is about six feet away, and the five thick branches are like huge palms, with five fingers spreading to form a support.

Zhao Yan took advantage of the branch with one hand and easily climbed the tree. Then he reached out to grab Luo Mingguang's hand and lifted her up.

The natural space formed in the middle of the "palm", although small, is still quite comfortable. The two of them now took out the roasted roe deer meat they brought in the morning. The weather was hot and the meat was stuffed in the bag for a whole day and smelled changed.

Luo Mingguang sighed, carrying his back all the way.

Zhao Yanbian told her to stay in the tree obediently and he would go hunting again.

At night, the wind was quite cool. Luo Mingguang spread half of the straw mats he brought out on the palm of his hand for sitting, and half was placed obliquely on the thick tree trunk for the upper body to rely on.

Just such a little place, naturally I have to squeeze in with Zhao Yan again. Forget it, just think it’s warm to each other!

***************

There are places where the sun cannot shine in the shadows, and the capital is no exception.

There is a place in the south of the capital Shendu, where people from all walks of life gather. Every time after sunset, night begins to become lively.

Here are some treasures for sale that leaked from the Great Inner Ban, some heirloom products mortgaged by the children of aristocratic families, all kinds of strange medicines, vivid spring palace paintings, and even every year when the Spring and Autumn exams, the test questions of that year can be bought in real or fake.

This is the underground black market hidden in the darkness of the capital.

It was already time to go, and a black shadow flashed from the side door of the Duke Xunguo Mansion. When he went out, he looked around and went straight south.

In a building I was facing, a man who was dressed inconspicuously quickly went downstairs and said to the two people chatting in the lights in the courtyard downstairs: "Someone has gone out, the younger one will follow you!"

"Go!" One of them raised his head and ordered.

The man who came down from the upstairs said "ah" and hurried out. After walking a few steps, he heard a sound coming from behind him: "Wuzi, be careful!"

At this time, there were not many people on the street. Wu Zi caught up with the man who came out of the Duke Xunguo Mansion. He noticed that the Duke Xunguo Mansion had been a while ago and recognized that Dequan, the servant beside the Duke Xunguo Prince.

Wu Zi followed Dequan all the way to the south of the city. Seeing him pushing open a broken wooden door and flashing into the black market inside, he followed him in.

When you entered this fan, the lights suddenly turned brightly and were extremely lively, which was completely different from the deserted scene outside the door.

Because he didn't dare to follow too close, Dequan had already walked a distance when he entered. There were two guards in the gate, one on the left and one on the right, looking up and down at his eyes, stretching his arms and blocking him, "This guy is so tight!"

Wu Zi knew that in order to prevent the government from secretly visiting this place, he only let regular customers in. The fresh customers had to be brought with them.

He hurriedly smiled and took out two small ingots of silver, and stuffed them one on one, pretending to be mysterious, "Two brothers are compatible, our young master heard that there are the best painters here...that, you two know."

The two guards immediately understood, and a clear smile appeared on their faces. They pinched the silver corner in their hands, patted his shoulder, and said slutty: "Go, go."

Another person was very enthusiastic and gestured and said, "Walk inside, it's right there in Mrs. Qin's stall."

Wu Zi raised his hand and thanked him, saying goodbye to the two of them, dada and looking for Dequan's figure.

This place is transformed into a huge yard, and it is estimated that the unfilial descendants of the descendants of the declining family defeated it.

The yard is full of various simple tiled sheds. Under the tiled sheds are stalls with various commodities piled up on them, and there are a wide variety of them.

When all the vendors saw people, they tried their best to keep customers. Dequan did not stay in front of any stall. Wuzi was afraid of losing people, so he did not dare to stay.

I saw Dequan turning around and moving around, and he looked familiar with the road. He didn't look back at a glance. He kept turning seven or eight turns before stopping at the relatively dim place at the innermost point.

There was no stall under the tile shed, and there was only a goatee in his fifties lying on a recliner, swaying and napping.

Wu Zi also stopped in front of a stall, paying attention to Dequan from the corner of his eyes.

Goatbeard was woken up by Dequan. Wu Zi heard Goatbeard's sleepy voice and said, "I think you should come too!"

While speaking, he sat up from the rocking chair, bent down and opened the box on one side, took out a porcelain bottle from it and handed it to Dequan. Dequan took the porcelain bottle with one hand and handed it to a small bag with the other.

The goatee didn't look at the silver inside, and stuffed it into his arms, waved his hand and said, "It's easy to leave, I won't send it."

Dequan said nothing, and put the porcelain bottle in his arms, looked left and right, and returned along the same route.

Wu Zi stayed for a while, bought a small item and transferred it out of each stall.

Seeing Dequan return to Duke Xunguo's mansion, he also returned to the small building.

"Report to the Fourth Master Zhuo..." Wu Zi reported Dequan's whereabouts to Zhuo Shan in detail.

Zhuoshan thought about it and told Wu Zi and Yan Shiba to continue to guard it, while he went to Luo Mansion behind the Shunyi Palace.

Luo Mansion is the mansion of the great merchant Luo Keying.

Luo Keying is doing a big business. Everyone speculates that it may be because he is engaged in maritime trade with his head. He makes a lot of money in business, but he is very low-key. The famous big businessmen in the capital only hear about his unreputable reputation, but do not see him.

Luo Keying was always traveling outside, and his family was young, and his brother Luo Keyong was the chief in charge of the capital.

When Zhuoshan arrived at Luo Mansion, Luo Keyong got up from the bed. The two sat together and talked for a while. After Zhuoshan left, Luo Keyong ordered the servants to find Yan Shiba, arranged for a while and went to bed again.

At the end of the Yin hour, the moment when the night is about to fade is the darkest and most deserted time of the day.

The underground black market is about to end. When people who have dreamed for a night are about to start a new day, people who have worked hard all night have yawned and are about to go back to make up for their sleep.

Hu Laoqi carried his wooden box in one hand, which was quite heavy. When he went there, he carried all kinds of medicines prepared for the box, and when he returned, he carried a lot of money he had received.

He earns a lot of money every day, and he is very comfortable and satisfied with this kind of life.

The place where Hu Laoqi lives is not far from the black market, so he does not take any means of transportation.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, it was already dawn. Turning around the alley, he could see the warm lights at home. His wife must have gotten up to make breakfast for the family.
