Someone walked in from outside. It was Gu Ye, carrying a bamboo basket.

"Yo, you're here." Hu Ying raised her head and saw it was him, so she walked out from behind the counter. Gu Yeguang stared at Hu Ying and almost forgot to pass the bamboo basket to her.

Hu Ying was anxious to see the scorpion centipedes. She took the bamboo basket and opened the lid.

"This scorpion, you see it is already damaged, not good. There was also something like this. It was the lowest grade, and its medicinal properties were also lacking by a grade. "All of the centipedes have to have full legs. Tsk tsk, this is going to go down in price …" Hu Ying picked up a centipede that had lost several of its legs and shook her head with a regretful sigh.

Gu Ye was initially happy that Hu Ying had said so much to him. However, when he heard the rest of the words, he felt ashamed as well. It was as if it was his fault that the scorpions were broken and the centipedes lost their legs.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect …"

"Eh?"

Ah!" "It's a bumpy journey …" Gu Ye almost blurted out his thoughts. Of course he didn't understand the quality of the goods. Everything was prepared by his subordinate.

Hu Ying closed the lid of the basket again and patted the bamboo basket, saying, "I can only give you 10 gold coins for this kind of quality. This can already be considered pretty good." If we were to obtain another herb house, I'm afraid that if we don't get even the slightest bit of it, we will still have to obtain it. "

"If you say it's appropriate, then it's appropriate." Gu Ye was easy to talk to.

"How can a merchant like you not bargain? If I say so, then so be it." Hu Ying looked Gu Ye up and down in amusement. The latter smiled and explained, "The purpose of going out is to make money peacefully."

"Sure, since it's fate that we meet, I'll buy you a drink at a bar!" Although Hu Ying's business was not ideal, he very generously invited Gu Ye to take a seat. The latter naturally accepted the offer. He was hoping that he could spend more time with Hu Ying.

A moment later, Hu Ying was carrying a pitcher of black silver wine and a plate of milk-canned pigeon and a plate of white bamboo shoots soaked in soy sauce. She walked over with a smile and placed the thing in her hand on the table. "I happen to have some of the loquat wine I brewed a while ago. Taste it.

The milk jug mixed with pigeons was the appetizer of an outsider, and Gu Ye was very close to it. He immediately put the chopsticks into his mouth, and Hu Ying, who was standing beside him, poured a bowl of wine and looked at him with a smile.

Loquat wine sweet sweet fragrance, with sweet and sour sweet sweet pigeon meat, lips and teeth lingering fragrance. Gu Ye nodded vigorously, praising her, "Compared to my mother … "Uh, no, better than my mother."

"Oh? You, Hu Qiang, also brewed wine? "

"Of course, but there aren't that many types. There's only horse milk wine and the six steamed wines are of high quality." Gu Ye took another sip of the wine, thinking of the hardworking citizens of Lan Jin. Once they met with a disaster, they would run out of food, and the animals would freeze to death. How could they possibly have this variety of food and wine to taste?

Looking at Gu Ye's serious expression, Hu Ying asked, "What's wrong?" "Doesn't taste good?"

"No, it tastes really good. Hu Ying, your cooking skills are really good." Gu Ye came back to his senses. Facing Hu Ying's smiling face, the wind that was howling in the sky and the ice-cold wilderness began to slowly melt. Gu Ye sighed from the bottom of his heart: "It's really very good."

"That's great. I'm worried it won't suit your taste." Hu Ying paused. "Are you from a merchant family?"

"That's right. There aren't many animals in the house, so we can only make a living." Gu Ye replied very naturally.

"Then this is the first time doing business?"

"This is my first time in the Northern Tang, but my business is not. "I've been travelling with my father in the past."

"Is it hard?"

"It's not hard, it's not hard." Gu Ye gazed into Hu Ying's eyes. Her pitch-black pupils were like a deep whirlpool, slowly emitting traces of a dark green and deep blue. A kind of soothing and misty feeling welled up from the bottom of his heart, causing Gu Ye to continue: "Having a maid take care of you from birth is indeed not hard work. "My father …"

Just as he was about to say more, there was a sudden clamor from outside the shop. Gu Ye was startled. He felt like his consciousness had flown out of the ninth heaven just now, as if it was going to pour out all of his thoughts and secrets. This was too dangerous. Perhaps he had drunk too much wine. After all, this was the Northern Tang wine. It was different from the horse milk wine that he was used to drinking.

Hu Ying secretly clicked her tongue. She had just wanted to use her allure to guide Gu Ye to say more things. She didn't find it strange when Ling Mo mentioned it in the morning, but it was different when Gu Ye came back in the afternoon. How could a merchant not bargain? Since he was a rich man who reeked of silver, perhaps he would like to spend it to make a fool of himself. However, he was born into a merchant family and travelled extensively, how could he not understand the logic behind this?

However, this plan was broken by the noise coming from outside the door.

Hu Ying walked towards the door in a huff as she turned around in anger, only to see a group of people surrounding the restaurant from time to time, pointing and talking.

"It's hot today, why don't you all come in and take a seat?" Hu Ying stepped out of the doorway, smiling lovingly as she greeted the people who had gathered in the distance.

"Miss Little Hu, we won't be drinking today. Another day! Another day!" The pharmacist replied with a smile.

Hu Ying giggled and pointed at his face. "I say, Brother Pao Liang, did you hit a tree or a pig?"

The pharmacist who was called Bao Liang felt his face darken, but he did not dare to let Hu Ying and the prime minister off the hook. He forced out a smile and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I was careless. I was careless …" As he spoke, he stretched out his neck to peek into the wine shop, his forehead drenched in sweat.

"There's no need to be polite, we just came out of the river and the sun is shining down on us. Why don't we have a bowl of wine and drink it while sunning ourselves, and then crawl back in the evening, so we can bring some food back to the shrimp soldiers and crab generals." Hu Ying said in a light and casual manner, which caused Bao Liang to be stunned for a moment. It was only when the people at the side stifled laughter that they finally reacted to the fact that they had been scolded as bastards.

Bao Liang's face turned red, but he didn't dare to offend Hu Ying. His whole body felt uncomfortable, as if it was filled with steamed crabs.

Gu Ye walked over, his face darkened as soon as he saw Pao Liang. He stood outside the door with his hands behind his back, sneering: "Hmph, you still think the lesson last time wasn't enough!"

"If you have the ability, then just follow these brothers to the side street. Hiding here isn't a hero!" He was certain that this foreign merchant was hiding in the tavern. Everyone knew that the Lady Boss Hu Ying was involved with Zai Fu and Qin Lingmo. Even if Jing Zhaoyin wanted to display his might in this tavern, he still had to think twice before doing anything.

However, Gu Ye didn't know that. He was worried that these people would harass Hu Ying, so he solemnly said to Hu Ying, "Don't worry, I won't let them implicate you." After saying that, he flicked his sleeve and charged towards those people.

Hu Ying's shout came from behind her, "Wait!"

Gu Ye didn't turn around. Instead, he waved his right hand, as if he was a warrior rushing to the execution grounds to bid farewell to his beloved girl.

"I'm treating you to a drink, you have to pay for the dishes!"

"..." "Huh?"

"Two hundred and seventy-five dollars in total."

Gu Ye silently turned around and walked over. He took out his purse and discovered that there were no whole silver ingots. There were only five or six silver coins. No matter how much it was, he gave them to Hu Ying.

"I am indebted to you for your patronage. "Welcome back." Receiving the silver bird, Hu Ying revealed a standard smiling face to her customers. That was a perfect smile that was completely honest and honest.

Gu Ye was a little depressed as he turned around and walked back to the group of people. This time, there was no sound coming from behind him.

There was a slant in the name of the side street. As the name implied, it was definitely not in the busy section of the road. It was actually a dilapidated alley off the street, near the east gate. It was once used as a quarantine area, but later on people didn't want to go near it anymore, so it became more and more dilapidated and filthy.

He had thought it through well. Even a powerful tiger would not be able to handle a pack of wolves. If they attacked together, he would definitely suffer. Moreover, the outsiders that he came to the capital to do business with would definitely not dare to be too arrogant, and would certainly not report him to the government afterwards. Don't forget, this is the Northern Tang Dynasty's White Peony City!

It was with this kind of blind pride and arrogance that Paul and company surrounded Gu Ye and walked into that side street, never coming out again.

In the dirty alley, Bao Liang trembled as he retreated. His face was distorted by the blood and flesh all over the place. He retreated all the way until his back hit the last wall.

In front of him, Gu Ye approached coldly. His hands were behind his back, and every step he took was neither fast nor slow, like a wild beast approaching its prey. A strong pressure caused the stinking liquid to spread out from Bao Liang's crotch.

"Don't, don't come over!" He screamed in fear and started to regret why he had chosen such a remote and desolate place. He couldn't even ask for help. Suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed across his face amidst his fear and panic. A fire lit up in his bulging eyes.

Gu Ye glanced over, but didn't turn his head. His body quickly flashed to the side, and a wooden stick as thick as his wrist came flying from behind, hitting nothing but air. The man with blood trickling down his forehead wanted to raise the stick again, but a sudden force grabbed him by the throat. Before the suffocation and fear could strike him, a crisp crack could be heard.

The man's eyes were round, and his distorted face was twisted with fear. And when the fingers holding his throat loosened, he fell to the ground without a sound.

Gu Ye raised his eyes and lightly glanced at Bao Liang: "The neck is broken, how do you want to die?"

"I-I-I-I was wrong …" "Please spare me, I'll kowtow to you …" With a plop, Paulie dropped to his knees and kowtowed.

After he kowtowed three times, he secretly raised his head, wanting to observe Gu Ye's expression, but his face turned pale with fright. He didn't feel anyone approaching him at all, but in front of Gu Ye, there was someone kneeling on one knee, both hands lightly pressing against the ground.

"Young master, leave this place to me. It's best for you to leave quickly in case any problems arise." It was a woman, a young woman.

Gu Ye nodded. He only said "Be careful" before turning around and leaving. The snow-green figure slowly disappeared at the end of the dark, shabby alley.

The woman stood up and slowly turned around.

He had hoped that women would be easier to deal with. However, when he came in contact with the pair of eyes containing ice-cold flames, his heart sank.

That woman was like a black iron rose wrapped in ice. Not only was there not a single trace of gentleness in her feminine looks, she was instead as devilish as an Asura from hell. She slowly pulled out the Mist Blade from her waist, the black gold blade shining with a ghostly light in the dark alley, reflecting the look of despair on Pao Liang's face.

Puff -

He opened his eyes wide and stared straight ahead. The cut on his neck was clean, and blood spurted out. Bao Liang's body tilted to the side as blood splattered out. After twitching slightly, he didn't make a sound.

Bajie Ying's expression was calm as he took out a few pieces of tissue paper, gently wiped the bloodstains on the blade of the blade, then casually waved it. The Mist Blade returned to its scabbard and left.

The paper covered in blood slowly floated down.

Not long after, a big fight broke out on the abandoned street, but somehow, the fire had covered everything up.
