Chapter 545 Legend
Although there have been many frictions on the border between Dazhou and Xibo in recent years, traders between the two countries still have occasional exchanges.Moreover, Shazhou is the only way to Qiuci, and there are many merchants from all over the country.

Xiao Lingjiang and his party dressed up in disguise and appeared here as traders, so naturally they would not attract attention.

After checking the documents for entering the city, Xiao Lingjiang and others drove the camel team and clanged into the city.

These people have no experience in trading. When a camel team of traders enters the city, they must buy and sell. Otherwise, if someone investigates, something will inevitably go wrong.Therefore, the governor of Liangzhou specially arranged two skilled merchants.These two people used to travel between Liangzhou and Shazhou for a long time. With them as guides, this trip would be more convenient.

Shazhou is located in a remote area and is surrounded by a large area of ​​Gobi desert. However, since many Hu businessmen enter Xibo or Dazhou via this place, the city is quite lively.

Xiao Lingjiang and his party drove the camel team through the streets and alleys. From time to time, they could see Hu merchants coming and going. There was also the Hu Ji Dangdong selling wine in the shop on the roadside.

After bypassing the main street, the group found a place to stay and prepared to stay.

The merchant who was leading the way bowed his hands and said to Xiao Lingjiang and Pei You, who were disguised as men: "He Qilangjun, Prince Pei, we can only book a place like this when we are away from home. I hope you two will not dislike it." That's..."

Xiao Lingjiang, who darkened his face and concealed his appearance, waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, everything is just like an ordinary merchant."

They came in disguise. Since they were just traders and pawns seeking a living in the yellow sand of the desert, their natural conditions were limited. If they were too particular, they would only draw attention to themselves.

Because they are businessmen, it is common for several people to squeeze into one room. It would be too extravagant for these businessmen to have one room each.Therefore, Xiao Lingjiang and Pei You squeezed into one room, and the others lived in two or three rooms.

After traveling for several days, everyone was exhausted and entered their rooms early.

Pei You took off his outer clothes and wore only a middle coat. He looked at Xiao Lingjiang who was already lying on the bed, and couldn't help but secretly blush.He and Ah Heng had flirted with each other before, but this was the first time they had slept in the same bed all night like this.

Seeing Pei You holding back, Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but feel amused. She turned sideways, supported her head with one hand, and said, "Why are you dawdling? Is it possible that Pei is still shy?"

"How could that happen?" Pei You cleared his throat, suppressed the heat in his ears, pretended to calmly walk to the bed, leaned down, and lay down in a daze.

Xiao Lingjiang laughed, stepped forward and pecked him on the cheek, then stepped away.

Pei You felt a feather-like touch in his heart, and he turned over to get closer, but he heard Xiao Lingjiang, who was already lying down, saying: "Go to bed early, we have to get up early tomorrow to go to the market to inquire about news. "

The little flame in Pei You's heart was mercilessly suppressed in an instant, but they came to Shazhou to do business, and it was definitely not the time for children to be in love.

He bent down and kissed Xiao Lingjiang's forehead gently, then lay back and said, "Good night, Ah Heng."

"Good night, Apei." Xiao Lingjiang's gentle voice came from beside him.

The moonlight was like water, the night was getting darker, and the two people sleeping together gradually fell asleep.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Xiao Lingjiang and his party went to the market.

There are two markets in Shazhou City, east, west and south, where traders of all kinds trade and exchange news.

Xiao Lingjiang and Pei You led the camels carrying the goods and went to the West Market, while the others went in other directions to inquire about the news.

According to the White Tiger Palace envoy, the shrine is located in the desert Gobi outside Shazhou City.However, how to find it, I can't tell you.

It seems that the restriction of the shrine is still at play. Although the master used some means to pry out some, but if he digs deeper, the soul of the White Tiger Palace will be broken, so he has to give up.

But since it is around Shazhou, it is impossible to leave no trace at all.Most of the people in the market are traveling merchants, and their information is much better than that of others. It is impossible to get some information from them.

As soon as I stepped into the west market, I was greeted by noisy sounds, the jingling of camel bells and the sound of sellers. "Come on, come on, the best spices!"

"The best fur!"

"Rubys are valuable but not marketable!"

Xiao Lingjiang and Pei You were just like ordinary merchants, leading the camels and looking around, occasionally asking them if they had any goods to exchange, and chatting with them about their experiences when traveling to and from Shazhou.

Xiao Ling and Jiang stood in front of a Hu merchant's stall, leaned over slightly and smelled the spices he placed in front of the stall, and asked: "Brother, these spices are quite good, I don't know how to trade them." ?”

The man raised his head when he heard the words and looked at the two people holding the camel. He saw that one of the two people was tall and straight, with a rough look on his face and a scar on his cheek. The other one was tall and tall. He is thinner and shorter, with dark complexion and only one pair of eyes that are particularly smart.

Judging from their accents, they must be businessmen from Zhou.In this Shazhou City, Zhou Shang is not uncommon.

He glanced at the camel they were holding behind him and asked in broken Zhou dialect: "I wonder what you brought?"

In the northwest, it is common for merchants from all over the country to barter. They exchange the unique things of their own country for other things and then transport them back to sell them. The price often rises several times.

Xiao Lingjiang pointed to the hunchback and said with a smile: "These are some Jiangnan silk things. I wonder if eldest brother is interested in them?"

Hu Shang's eyes lit up when he heard this. Da Zhou's silk was very popular with the powerful women from all over the Western Regions, and the silk produced in the south of the Yangtze River was even more rare.

He was immediately interested.

Xiao Lingjiang showed him the silk and chatted casually: "I guess you are coming from the west. Is it not easy on the road?"

Hu Shang nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, you don't know, I also encountered a sandstorm this time, but fortunately there was no accident."

"That is indeed dangerous." Xiao Ling said, "I heard that there is a small hidden city in the vast Gobi outside Shazhou City. Only those who are destined can encounter it. If you are lucky enough to encounter it when encountering wind and sand, go in and rest. It’s also good to rest and take shelter from the wind and sand.”

"A small hidden city?" Hu Shang frowned slightly, and then his expression changed slightly, "You're not talking about the devil city, are you?"

"Devil City?" Xiao Lingjiang shook his head, "I've never heard of it."

Hu Shang said: "I heard about this from others. It's not surprising that you Zhou people don't know this place..."

This devil city is also a legendary place. It is said that more than ten years ago, a foreigner came from the west and stayed in the desert at night. The bright moon was bright in the sky, and a small town appeared in the vast Gobi desert.

The curious person walked in and never came back.Later, I sent people to search for it, but couldn't find the small town. It was like a dream.The matter was left undisturbed, and the missing people were simply assumed to have met an accident in the desert.

If it was just once, that would be fine. Later, some Hu businessmen claimed that they had seen the appearance of the Devil City, and some people disappeared one after another. This made the Hu businessmen so afraid of the Devil City that they would rather take a long detour than go far away. Went in that direction.

Many years have passed, and few people mention what happened back then. However, under the bright moon, the legend of the devil city appearing in the sky has been passed down to Hu Shangzhong.

Devil's City in the Desert...

Xiao Lingjiang's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Pei You. Could this Devil City... be the land of the shrine?
As for the bright moon appearing, the mystery that is usually hard to find cannot be said to be due to the formation.
