Chapter 2 Finally Here

He Lingchuan only needs to move his eyes, without saying a word, and a golden jujube will be delivered to his mouth.

He stretched his body and sighed "comfortable".

After replacing the original body for more than a month, except for the bloody holes when he just woke up and suffered a lot, the days in Black Water City can only be described as comfortable.

Jinzhou is located in the northwest corner of the territory of Yuan State, and Black Water City is only ten miles away from the border, guarding the national gate for the Great Yuan. It sounds good in name, but this geographical location is destined to prevent Jinzhou from getting the loving gaze of the monarch father, not to mention that it has been peaceful and has not fought in recent years.

But the advantage is also that the emperor is far away.

The He family is a standard local emperor in their own small piece of land, and He Lingchuan, as the eldest son of the governor, can get whatever he wants in Black Water City and even the entire Qiansong County.

The standard of food, clothing, housing and transportation is three words:

The best.

The delicacies on the table, the toys in hand, and the daily income are not easy to say that they are all rare treasures from all directions, but many mainland tycoons may not be able to enjoy them.

He Lingchuan's original body grew up to the age of sixteen in such a carefree environment.

How to say it? He Lingchuan's evaluation of the original body is that he has a bad temper and is a little arrogant by nature.

This guy is usually high-spirited and likes to hunt with hawks and dogs, otherwise he would not have encountered a major accident on Hulu Mountain.

Although this skin has been healed now, the new owner has no intention of picking up the original body's hobby again.

In the past few months, He Lingchuan often thought of the experience on the cliff. The leopard monster that attacked him seemed to have been seriously injured before. Will the person who injured it chase him to Blackwater City? But time passed little by little, and the city and the outside world were calm.

Under the appearance of a good life, there seems to be an undercurrent. This made him, a poor worker who was originally only worthy of blessings, feel uneasy when enjoying the fragrance of privilege.

He Lingchuan took two sips of warm wine and suddenly felt a little stuffy, so he signaled Uncle Hao to open the window.

As soon as the window was opened, the cool air rushed in. The people on the second floor couldn't help but shiver. The papers on the table in the next box were rolled downstairs. Two of them were small silver bills, which immediately caused a scramble under the stage.

No one cared about the commotion downstairs, and Liu Baobao tightened his clothes.

He Lingchuan took a deep breath and drove away all his little emotions. It happened that the play under the stage was over, and he took the lead in applauding and said happily: "Good! Reward!" After that, he casually took off the jade ring from his waist and asked someone to take it down for reward.

With the big brother on the list taking the lead, the atmosphere on the scene reached a high point, and the audience downstairs also opened their wallets.

Outside the window was the main street of Blackwater City. As soon as the window was opened, the bustling sound came in with the wind. He Lingchuan glanced and saw the busy streets with people coming and going. The main street, which had been widened three times, could accommodate eight standard carriages driving side by side, but now there was not even a two-foot square space.

"Is it so lively?"

Uncle Hao was standing next to He Lingchuan, and heard the voice: "It's already August, and the merchants must pass through the Red Cliff Trade Road as soon as possible before it closes, and transport the last batch of goods before winter."

This was the personal master that the head of the He family arranged for his beloved son after the accident at Hulu Mountain, in case he encountered another accident.

He Lingchuan nodded.

Blackwater City is located on the edge of the Panlong Desert. It looks desolate, but it is an important road connecting the western countries and Dayuan, because it is a must-check-in point for the famous Red Cliff Road.

Desert merchants have always been dangerous, with changeable weather and frequent bandits, and the Panlong Desert is the best of the best. Countless predecessors have used their blood, sweat and lives to explore a relatively safe passage through the Panlong Desert, namely the Red Cliff Trade Road.

However, the center of Panlong Desert will change drastically in September. Even the Hongya Trade Road will no longer be safe at that time, so experienced merchants must rush through early so that they can raise prices and make a fortune during the months when the Hongya Trade Road is closed.

The busiest season, other places are the end of the year, and Heishui City is right now.

All the wealthy merchants have come, and all businesses are prosperous. The hawking along the streets is one after another, and there is no empty drinking trough at the post station. The taxes collected by Heishui City in the past two months should be considerable, right?

He Lingchuan came to his senses when he thought of this, and found that he was actually worrying about his father's work, which was funny.

At this time, someone downstairs asked to see the eldest young master of the He Mansion.

This was sent by a local gang called the Red and White Road to report the news. After coming up, he saluted and didn't say a word, just looking around.

He Lingchuan waved his hand, and the servants immediately retreated three feet away; Liu Baobao was also very smart and found an excuse to walk to other boxes.

Only Uncle Hao stood still.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

This guy was sent by his own leader to say that two dusty outsiders had just walked into Zhuzhi Tavern to inquire about something.

In a transportation fortress like Heishui City, there are so many travelers coming and going from the south and the north, so the best place to inquire about news is of course the local restaurants, teahouses and Hongguanfang. The two outsiders were not wrong.

But they obviously didn't know the special ecology of the local area.

Although organizations like the Red and White Road always say "it's not easy for brothers to make money", they actually occupy one of the most profitable businesses in the local area: alcohol.

The two people were unlucky and happened to walk into the tavern where members of the Red and White Road often live.

"Tracking the injured Sand Leopard?" Hearing what he said, He Lingchuan felt his heart being tugged at. "And you specifically want to go near Blackwater City?"

The trouble finally came.

"That's right." The member looked at him and lowered his head quickly. The veins on the forehead of the young master were popping out, and he looked furious. "The two of them had foreign accents. The gang members said they sounded like people from Yuandong. The wine seller said that the Sand Leopard lived in the West Mountain, which is far away from here. They didn't refute it, but just asked anyone with clues to find them. Whether the target is dead or alive, there will be a big reward."
