Chapter 158 The Nightmare of Laiyan City
If there was gold under the gallows, those smugglers would pick it up without hesitation.
This is what a financial officer said many years ago, and it is undoubtedly correct. Not to mention anything else, the empire loses countless money every year due to smuggling. The harm is so great, of course the empire has very strict management of this aspect, and has even promulgated relevant laws.
But none of this can stop the smugglers from pursuing profits. The key is that some nobles are also involved. Even the treasurer's words have become the motto of the smugglers, who use it to remind themselves not to forget to earn any gold coins.
The black market shop owner exaggerated about his abilities, but in just a few minutes, he brought everything Tang En wanted. But... "Oh my god, this is too damn expensive!" Tang En walked out of the store holding his things and couldn't help but swore.
Everything cost him a total of 80,000 gold coins. This was the price that Jack slapped on the table and drooled over after all the discounts. Only then did Tang En truly understand why Jack, a prop thief, always cried about poverty.
"Be content." Jack, who was also carrying things, said, "If it weren't for the fact that you bought so many things, the boss wouldn't even pay attention to you."
Most of the things on the black market are not available on the market, which is why those unscrupulous businessmen dare to charge such high prices. They have sufficient psychological advantages. You can buy it or not... Of course Tang En understands this truth. He just complained before and raised his eyebrows: "By the way, are there any fighting spirit techniques for sale here?"
"Of course there is, but the Dou Qi Mind Technique..." Jack was surprised, "Hasn't the Hai Tide Mind Technique already been given to you?"
"I mean something higher than this, or something similar."
Everyone's physique is different, and correspondingly, the fighting spirit they are suitable for is also different. The members of Gray Space are currently practicing the Haitide Mental Technique, so of course there are some inappropriate ones. Little Carol was like this, so her fighting spirit cultivation progressed very slowly.
"..." Jack was speechless, "Brother, this is not a ten-coin newspaper. It's hard to come across high-level fighting skills. You still want something higher? And do you have the money?"
"I have a solution for money matters, just tell me where I can buy it." When Tang En and the others came out, Luo Sha handed them some gold and silver jewelry that they had looted before, hoping to go into the city and exchange them for gold coins. Those are the private collections of nobles, so they are naturally valuable.
Jack thought for a while and said, "This thing can only appear at auction. Let me find time to help you inquire about it."
While talking, the two walked out of the alleyway.
They were carrying so many things, so they naturally attracted the attention of some interested people. However, after Tang En shrunk to the ground and moved ten feet across, those people wisely gave up following him. Not to mention their strength, they couldn't catch up with this one move.
This place is located in a remote place, so Tang En and the others naturally couldn't find the carriage, so they walked towards the central street.
Um? Tang En frowned slightly at this moment and lowered his eyes in all directions. Somehow, he suddenly felt a faint feeling enveloped his heart, like a shadow... being followed? But I looked around and found nothing. Could it be that I was overthinking... Even though he was thinking like this, Tang En did not dare to be careless after all, and followed Jack step by step, like a follower... After a moment, he said, "Damn, I'm exhausted. Hurry up and get a carriage." Jack put the things on the side of the road and looked around.
Just as he was talking, suddenly, click, click, click... the sound of galloping horse hooves came from the right. The crowd dispersed in a hurry, and saw a group of cavalry in neat armor galloping from the right. It can be seen that their riding skills are very good, and they can still control the horses freely in the crowded crowd.
"What a damn unlucky thing to run into them when you go out!" Jack touched his nose and muttered in a low voice.
Tang En couldn't help but curl his lips, secretly thinking that he was out of luck.
It's no wonder they are like this, because these cavalry armors are printed with the unique logo of Bran Guard Hall. How could this make them, as assassins and thieves, happy?
Here we go again... Tang En's heart moved. At this moment, he was sure that someone was following him. Because that feeling suddenly fluctuated after seeing the guard cavalry. Although the degree was very slight, he was still keenly aware of it.
who is it? Are they thieves who want their things? Or... Before Tang En could guess the identity of the other party, Jack in front suddenly shook violently and immediately stepped back and bumped into him.
"What's wrong?" Tang En whispered.
"You, you, you... look." Jack trembled in a tone as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Tang En raised his head in surprise, and then opened his mouth wide, unable to close it for a while... No way, is this Laiyan City? The acquaintances came one by one... The leading cavalryman who was getting closer and closer kept confirming the shock of Tang En and the two of them. The body was as burly as a bear, the face was slovenly, and the left eye with a black eyepatch... He still kept his eyes out while galloping. He rubbed his big red nose with his left hand.
Powers! Powis, Commander-in-Chief of the Laiyan City Cavalry?
After confirming the identity of this person, Tang En and the others also saw next to Powis, the middle-aged man with a body as straight as a pine and a tough temperament - Bernie.
Looking at the duo in front of them, who all the assassins in Laiyan City feared, Tang En and the others had a particularly unreal feeling... Stop playing, old man of the God of Light, the excitement is too great, and you can't stand it at all... Bao Weis Naturally, he and Bernie didn't pay attention to the two somewhat lost people on the side of the road. The galloping horses passed by, raising some black muddy water.
Huh... Jack let out a long breath and stooped a little.
Tang En also recovered from the shock at this time, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and then his body swayed as if he was frightened, and he couldn't help but take two steps forward... Bang - the black wooden box was thrown out. The figure that followed Tang En seemed to have been carried away by the swift cavalry, and fell directly to the side, in such an embarrassing state.
"Uh..." Jack was startled, had such a big reaction?
Before he could help him, Tang En quickly got up from the ground, not caring about the scratches on his shoulders and legs. He half-bowed and said urgently: "Master, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Young Master? Jack was completely dumbfounded, but after seeing Tang En's wink, he frowned, stretched out his finger, and cursed angrily: "Trash, you're blind, can you afford to pay for breaking my things?" ?”
"sorry Sorry……"
"What are you still doing here, not picking up the box?"
"Yes Yes Yes……"
By this time the cavalry had gone away, and the crowd had gathered again. Everyone looked at the servant who seemed to be scolded in the street and sighed secretly. Oh, how pitiful... Then Jack hailed a carriage, and Tang En laboriously moved the two boxes onto it. Then he sat next to the coachman and silently wiped the blood from his arms.
......... As the carriage slowly left, three men and one woman walked out of the street wall.
"Look, Eunice. This is a servant, how could he be the guy who killed the goshawk." The burly man said disapprovingly.
Eunice beside her bit her lower lip: "It seems I really made a mistake."
"Yeah, but the other person looks like a thief." The silver-haired man said warmly, "Eunice, don't take it too seriously. We will definitely avenge Goshawk. Now we should complete the mission and improve our strength. If we all With the strength of a Kong-level warrior, it would be easy to break into the gray-clothed army and find that person."
Eunice nodded silently.
"Okay, let's go." The magician standing quietly beside him waved his wand.
The light shone and the four people disappeared.
