Attacked that prince!

Originally, she planned to go to the place where the common people lived to find out, but after this incident, Zan Lang did not dare to act rashly any more. This was far beyond what she expected. They had already seen such a terrible thing in the marginal area. In this scenario, Zan Lang couldn't imagine what could be more serious than this.

"Let's find a way to enter the city first." Zan Lang squeezed Qu Muting's hand: "It surprised you."

"It's okay." Qu Muting wanted to smile at her to ease the atmosphere, but she couldn't, the scene just now kept flashing in her mind, and the cold eyes made her feel terrified.

It was the fear that came from deep within her heart, and it made her truly realize how terrible human nature is, especially in this social environment, she and Zan Lang are just a small drop in the ocean, and they may be destroyed by this cruel society at any time. devour.

Zhulu City, the main city in Lingnan, has been a fortress in the land since ancient times, a hub of north-south transportation, and a place where merchants traveling from north to south must pass through and settle down. However, Zhulu City, which should have been prosperous, is now somewhat depressed.

The gates under the city tower are closed, leaving only two small arched passages lined up in long queues, all the way in and all the way out, the small gates on both sides have guard handles, and the entry and exit must be strictly checked before they can be released. After watching for a while, I couldn't see what they were looking for.

Qu Muting couldn't see why, so he couldn't bear his temper: "Why don't you try it in the past? If you look at it like this, you won't know what they want to investigate."

Zan Lang thought for a while: "It's better to find someone to ask the reason."

Qu Muting happened to see a villager who seemed to be going into the city with a burden, so he hurriedly pulled him over, and asked in a good-tempered manner, "This fellow, I have something to trouble you for."

The villagers didn't understand, so they asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's like this. Did something happen in Zhulu City? Why is the city gate so tightly guarded? It didn't seem to be like this before."

"Are you foreigners? If you have nothing to do, hurry up and leave. Lingnan is not peaceful, so go early and have a good life." The man shook his head: "If it weren't for the whole family who couldn't get away, I would have left a long time ago."

"What do you mean? I heard that there was a big hailstorm and the disaster happened, so it shouldn't be like this? Is it true that the people here want to rebel?" Qu Muting's frightened expression was very serious In place: "My elder brother and I are traveling merchants. Silk materials are sold well in Zhulu City, so we thought, taking advantage of the disaster, it happened to be cheap, so we wanted to come here and buy more. If this is a rebellion, then we have to hurry up gone."

"It's true that you want to rebel, that's not ordinary people." The man didn't want to say more, he shook his head and wanted to leave: "Outlanders, you should leave quickly, this disaster will not make you rich, and getting rich is fatal."

After finishing speaking, he carried his burden and left. After asking for a long time, he still didn't get any useful information. The two of them still had no idea about entering the city. Qu Muting was a little anxious. If the locks are unlocked, they will have to sleep outside. Qu Muting really dare not sleep outside in this environment.

"Let's go try it out and find out what's going on. If it really doesn't work, we have to leave here first and find a place to stay before discussing it."

Zan Lang nodded, expressing that he had no objection, he held the catkin tightly in his hand, and said: "With such strict control, I'm afraid they have already guessed that I have left the main force, but this is too obvious."

So straightforwardly before his eyes, without the slightest fear of the prince's arrival, not even the slightest timidity, it seems that he has made sufficient preparations, which is really a big disadvantage to Zan Lang.

The two of them lined up at the end of the line to enter the city. The line walked very slowly, occasionally there were a few sighs and small chatter, and when they finally reached the line, the guard glanced up and down at the two of them vigilantly, and then asked : "What are you doing?"

Qu Muting hurriedly put on a smiling face, pulled Zan Lang and said, "Hello, brother, we two brothers are in business, either it's the first time here, or I haven't seen him, it's the first time we meet, brother, don't be surprised."

Zan Lang took a bank note according to what he had said before, bent down and handed it over: "It's a small thing."

"Go, go." The guard looked at the bank note, his eyes fluttered, but he still shouted impatiently: "When are you still doing business, don't you know that there is a lot of violence everywhere recently? What if you are a mob ,what to do?"

"Big Brother, Big Brother, it's really not." Qu Muting hastily added another bank note: "Our two brothers just heard that there has been a bad disaster here recently, thinking that it is when silk brocade is cheap, so we want to come and have a look Goods, just do some small business to make ends meet, you can let it go at your own convenience."

"You say you are in business, but you are in business? Didn't the mob write those two words on his face? If you let the two of you in, if something happens and disturbs the law and order in the city, Can I take on this responsibility? Let’s go, let’s go, no outsiders are allowed to enter the city.”

"Hey, brother, this is not a foreigner. Why do you turn your back on him and deny him? That pot of good peach blossom wine yesterday was all for nothing." With a coquettish, coquettish voice: "Hello, my dear!" It's cold."

When the guard heard this, he turned around quickly, and when he saw someone coming, he said kindly, "Hey, Miss Si'er is here. How dare you let the girl feel cold when you say this?"

"Isn't that chilling? You blocked the second shopkeeper at the door of my house, so what are you going to do? Shubai, why don't you go to carry the burden for our Lord Mu, who came all the way here , why are you so blind like some people!"

The young man named Shubai hurriedly bowed his head and called out "Master Mu" to Qu Muting and Zan Lang vaguely. Qu Muting hurriedly took the bundle Zan Lang was carrying and handed it to him Only then did he look at Si'er.

Si'er had already changed out of the red dress she was used to wearing in Tangying Tower. At the moment, she was just dressed like an ordinary woman, and there was no heavy makeup on her face. If it weren't for that unique soft tone and voice, Qu Muting would still be I almost didn't recognize it.

But right now is not the time to talk, Qu Muting coughed lightly before saying: "I told you not to pick it up, why are you still here?"

Si'er bypassed the guard and walked to Qu Muting's side, turned around and glared at the guard as if complaining: "Master Mu, you are concerned about the opening of our new store and don't want to bother us, but if you don't bother us, no one in this family will let you Come on, when the time comes, why don’t you squat at the city gate and cry?”

"This, these four girls are serious." The guard laughed together: "The above stipulates that no outsiders are allowed to enter the city. I don't know you two either."

"I was afraid of making a mistake. Seeing that Tian'er came here to bring you wine, but today it was just delayed for a while and came late, so you stopped our shopkeeper." Si'er stood in Qu Muting Behind him, he sighed: "What can we do for the common people, other than being wronged?"

The aggrieved expression that was about to cry really made the guard a little at a loss: "Since they are all our own, there is absolutely no reason to stop them. I hope Miss Si'er will not blame her."

"Hey, we don't dare to blame you. You are also following orders, and everyone plays their part." Si'er also achieved his goal, and said: "Since you are no outsiders, you can go to the city, right? Look at our shopkeeper. It must be very hard work with this travel-stained appearance, traveling all the way."

"That's natural, that's natural." The guard hurriedly stepped aside: "It was a joke, I hope the shopkeeper will not blame it."

"How come, it's a good thing to be dedicated to your duty." Qu Muting smiled and stuffed the bank note: "It's interesting, the new store opens, come and have a look when you have time."

The guard didn't refuse any more, took the cash and sent the group of people into the city.

After walking a little further, Qu Muting was completely relieved, looked at Si'er and asked, "Why are you here? Aunt Huaying asked you to come?"

Si'er covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I really didn't recognize Master Mu in this way." But she glanced at Zan Lang next to her, she did not recognize "Master Mu", but she recognized it at a glance The man next to Lord Mu, the time he took away the drunken "Master Mu" in Tang Yinglou, was really impressive. Although both of them had disguised themselves, they couldn't be fooled by their demeanor. People, especially a seasoned love veteran like Si'er.

Qu Muting followed Si'er's gaze to look at Zan Lang, then turned his head to glance at Si'er, moved in front of Zan Lang, and blocked Si'er's gaze.

This action was too obvious, but Si'er laughed straight away: "Master Mu is so stingy, just take a look, and you can lose a piece of meat."

Qu Muting, who choked on these words, didn't know how to answer, not to mention the tricks that came out of Si'er's Merry Field, but that look of eagerness was enough to seduce people, she really didn't want Zan Lang to be looked at like this Yes, no matter who it is, they would never want their loved one to be looked at like this.

"I can only let her watch, and I hope the girl will respect herself." Zan Lang pulled Qu Muting to his side, and asked with no expression on his face, "Where are we going?"

Si'er was immediately frozen in place by this sentence, and by the time he realized it, Shubai had already taken people to the newly opened silk and satin workshop in Zhulu City.

Looking at the backs of the two people walking in front, Si'er pursed his lips, shook his head and followed.Before coming, Aunt Huaying told her a lot, and also hinted a lot in secret. Si'er is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart. , directly came to Zhulu City, the main city of Lingnan.

She had a good idea in her heart, knowing that Master Mu's final destination was Lingnan, and she also knew that she would definitely do something big in Lingnan, so she hurried along the way, in order to take the first step to deal with it, and in order not to delay her Hind legs.

Sure enough, everything was as she expected.
