Chapter 262: Peeling Off the Cocoon and Drawing Out the Silk

Sanniang should have her own purpose...or she might be leaking information to Zhongyuan customers intentionally or unintentionally.

Otherwise, when I came here and asked about Jiangnan cuisine, why would she look at it differently? When she said that she would eat lamb legs instead of Jiangnan cuisine, she was still uninterested.

The so-called drunkard stayed here for a month. Zhao Changhe estimated that Situ Xiao must have dug up a lot of the information he wanted before leaving.

Zhao Changhe glanced at Sanniang. She was still drinking with a smile and stretching out her hand: "What else do you want to ask? One question plus ten taels."

Zhao Changhe smiled and suddenly said: "Hey, I now suspect that you are using the organization's information to make money for yourself."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Sanniang sat up straight and glanced around: "What organization do I have? This is all the information I have collected with so much hard work!"

As she spoke, she pretended to cry: "I am a weak woman, alone in this land of barbarians. Do you know how difficult life is..."

"Maybe there are people like Ubalu who bully others, right? It's going to be hard to deal with, right?"

"Yeah yeah."

"I know, I know. It's because of hospitality, so I just pretend to be innocent."

Sanniang's fake cry disappeared after a while, and she said with a smile: "Life is not easy, life is not easy... Do you want to buy anything else?"

Zhao Changhe thought for a while and asked: "Is there a distribution of strong men in the grassland?"

Sanniang’s face fell: “No.”

"Are there any strange secrets? For example, how was the lake in the desert formed? Is it natural or something else..."

Before she finished speaking, Sanniang's expression changed: "No. Why do you ask weird things to make trouble, right? I won't betray you."

Zhao Changhe turned his head to look at her and sighed: "Okay, okay, I just don't know how to look at people's faces, and I get scolded wherever I go."

Sanniang: "..."

"Last question." Zhao Changhe handed over an ingot of broken silver again.

Sanniang quickly held the money in her arms and said with a bright smile, "Tell me."

"Didn't Yue Hongling kill some Black Wolf King in the grassland before? Is she still there now?"

Sanniang looked at him sideways: "Why, do you want to capture her and go to the Great Khan to collect the reward, or do you want to pursue the heroine?"

"I'm just here to buy information. Who cares what I use it for? If someone sells a butcher's knife, they won't ask whether it's for killing pigs or killing people."

"It makes sense." Sanniang held her chin and thought for a while: "But if her whereabouts can be found out here, it will prove that she is very dangerous. If you are here after the heroine, you should pray that no one knows about her. It’s whereabouts.”

Zhao Changhe also nodded: "That makes sense. So no one still knows her whereabouts?"

"No... you know, it doesn't matter if men come in or out here recently. Once a woman comes in or out, she may be immediately surrounded by a large army."

"Is it because of Yue Hongling?"

"That's right." Sanniang smiled slightly: "So Yue Hongling is in trouble now. She is afraid that she has nowhere to provide supplies. Even if she robs people as a horse bandit, she may not be able to use what she robs. No matter whether it is money or silk, she can't use it. For food, she needs food, water, and horse feed. If you continue, you may take the risk and come back to Huangshaji. You might actually be able to see her if you squat here. It doesn't matter if you want to be a hero and save the beauty, or you want to take advantage of the chaos. It doesn’t matter if you mess with her, that’s your business, I didn’t say anything.”

Zhao Changhe nodded: "I understand. What Sanniang sells is not only news, but also analysis. It's worth every penny."

Sanniang smiled happily: "Of course, if you want to buy anything else, just ask me!"

Zhao Changhe always felt that she was waiting for you to answer "buy you" inside and outside her words, and then splashed you with foot-washing water. Unfortunately, he would not cooperate with this scene. He just said: "I want to go out and have fun. Sanniang has something to recommend." For example, see some unique things...I don’t mean buying Western jewelry and spices, it’s the characteristics of this place.”

Sanniang looked at his hand helplessly and did not take out the money.

She sniffed: "Well, I'm sorry to charge you for giving directions. How about you go to the animal farm in the middle of the market?"

"What is a zoo?"

"Treat it like a life-and-death fight with black fists. Some underworld forces in the Central Plains also have this kind of thing, but the people fighting here are slaves."

"I understand. If it's called a gladiatorial arena, why call it an animal field? Because the opponents are all ferocious beasts?"

"The opponent is basically a human being. The reason why it is called an animal farm is that in addition to fighting, there is also selling... Aren't humans just like beasts?" Sanniang smiled slightly: "Whether it is the one who is being sold, or the one who is selling."

Zhao Changhe sipped his wine and looked up at her.

Sanniang said calmly: "Among the slaves sold, there are strong men, and maybe some martial arts masters, who are specialized in fighting animals..."

Zhao Changhe nodded: "I understand, I'll go take a look."

The two of them were talking while drinking. When the bottle of wine was gone, Zhao Changhe did not refill it and staggered away from the counter: "Sanniang is also stingy. I bought you a drink, but you didn't even buy a peanut."

Sanniang jumped at his back and scolded: "I am the seller! Why don't you say you are stingy? You invited people to drink and didn't even buy a plate of peanuts!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Changhe had already turned out of the house and entered the street.

Sanniang angrily put away the empty wine bottles, and suddenly a younger brother appeared next to her: "Sanniang, this person..."

"It doesn't matter who he is, as long as he is from Xia." Sanniang gritted her teeth: "I don't believe it, they are all clever people, trying to trick them into killing Wubalu, from Yue Hongling to Situ Xiao to Han Wubing, no one took the bait. This Wang guy is even more insidious, saying this and that, I still can't figure out what his real purpose is, I believe him even if he says he is coming for us."

"He may not be surnamed Wang."

"Isn't it okay to be a bastard?"

The waiter looked at her aggrievedly: "Sanniang... my surname is Wang too."

Sanniang: "..."

The waiter sighed: "The Fifth Master didn't say he wanted to kill Wubalu, it's fine if you want to kill him on your own initiative, but you sell the information of the person you want to kill for money. It's simply unacceptable..."

"Is this shameless? You pig-headed." Sanniang snorted, "They will question the information given for free, but they will not doubt the information bought with money because they think it is the information they have worked hard to get out. What do you know?"

"I think you just want to make money. Be careful that Wu Balu will make trouble for you first. The Fifth Master is out of reach."

"When have I ever relied on the Fifth Master when I am here?"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Sanniang was very proud: "Anyway, the surname Wang went to the zoo, there is always something to watch..."

"Wait." Another waiter ran in: "Sanniang, the surname Wang did not go to the zoo."

Sanniang's smile froze on her face: "Then where did he go?"

"He went out, walked out of the market..."

Sanniang was stunned.

Over there, Zhao Changhe left Sanniang and walked slowly along the foreign street with dim lights, like walking outside the market.

The surrounding environment is actually very exotic. If you travel here, it should be very interesting. Unfortunately, I have no intention of seeing it at the moment, and my mind is full of things.

I dare not communicate too deeply with Sanniang, I can only say a few words here and there so that she can't see the real meaning. It's safe, but there is no direct entry point for the myriad of threads, so I need to sort them out slowly, which is very brain-consuming.

Sometimes Zhao Changhe is a little annoyed with this kind of behavior. It has been like this since he rejected Tang Wanzhuang's brand. He wanted to sing and drink wildly and ride horses in the rivers and lakes, but he was burning his brain everywhere. Isn't it tiring? But now, I know that it is not about the brand of the Demon Suppression Division, but the strength is not in place.

With Xia Longyuan's strength, I can care what you are doing. I will watch the monkeys. Without that strength, you have to use your brain wherever you go, otherwise you will die without knowing how.

In any case, the harvest is actually very great.

At least Zhao Changhe is 80% sure this time to determine where the missing team will be if they are not dead.

If they are sold as slaves in the Colosseum, will they have to confront Wubalu? How to carry out this operation... Considering Sanniang's attitude towards Wubalu, she may hope to do something there.

But unfortunately, I don't need to go, it's meaningless, because there is no way to save the slaves in the entire zoo... The mission goal is just to find that team.

The Qiao family's caravan came here to sell things - they passed by the tribe where the team disappeared, and went north with empty cars.

There is a certain probability that their "empty cars" are carrying "slaves". And this road is the only way to enter the market. In order to prevent the Qiao family from causing trouble, I have been watching at the window. No one from them entered, which shows that the "goods" are still outside and have not been unloaded.

So for the mission assigned by Cui Yuanyong, as long as the person is not dead, he is most likely in the caravan at this time; if the person is dead, he can still ask for information in this caravan. After turning around, the entry point is the Qiao family caravan encountered on the road, and I have to go to explore it at night anyway.
