Noble First Daughter-in-law

The time is getting later and later, and the road is getting deeper and deeper.

This metropolis is not only Dongcheng, but also the largest square city in the entire Daxing City. Its area is twice the size of the surrounding ordinary square city. Maze in general.

After a while, Pei Xingyuan lost his way.

He carefully looked around, but the tall and dark shadows of the buildings around him kept moving back, and he could hardly grasp a familiar point that could make him feel at ease.

At this time, a man in black who was following the carriage suddenly stopped.

Pei Xingyuan immediately looked back, this is the fourth person who stopped at the intersection on this road, the carriage still didn't stop, and soon left the person far behind, but Pei Xingyuan could still see that the person was guarding a crossroad mouth, regardless of whether it is southeast, northwest, people who want to follow have no way to get off.

He couldn't help raising his eyebrows, then turned his head to look at Jin Daji who was still driving the car, and said with a smile: "Brother Jin is too careful."

Jin Daji said: "Be careful with the ten-thousand-year ship."

Pei Xingyuan said: "I don't care if you travel by car or boat, but it's just that I've gone so deep that I don't know how to get back after transporting those medicines."

"..."

After saying this, he felt a sudden silence around him.

Looking at Jin Daji again, he saw that the other party turned his head and glanced at him, a little smile appeared in his small eyes shining with cunning and greedy light, and there was no way to hide under the flickering lights above his head.

It seemed that he was laughing at his words.

Pei Xingyuan was slightly taken aback, but Jin Daji had already smiled and said: "Young Master Pei, you can rest assured."

"..."

"In short, there is a way for you to go."

After finishing speaking, he raised his whip again, and the whip tip made a crisp sound in the air, and the carriage moved faster.

And it wasn't until this time that Pei Xingyuan realized that they had moved away from the area where there were still residents just now, and walked to the depths of an unknown place. There was no light around them, only the low silhouettes of bungalows stood on both sides of the road, and the closer they got The closer it got, the more twists and turns the road under our feet became, and it was obvious that no one lived here.

Pei Xingyuan frowned, and couldn't help but ask, "Have you arrived yet?"

Jin Daji smiled: "Soon."

Pei Xingyuan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If it's soon, why haven't I smelled the medicine yet? Ordinarily, so many medicinal materials must have a smell?"

While speaking, he immediately felt that apart from the cool smell of Yelu, a scent gradually began to mix in the air.

Smell carefully, it is the smell of spices.

Pei Xingyuan is no stranger to this smell. After all, there is an entire street in the city where merchants from the Western Regions sell spices, so the smell is so strong.

However, the further you went in, the stronger the smell became. At the beginning, it was just fragrant. After a while, the fragrance was like layers of veils hanging in the air, constantly hitting people's faces, and then covering people's mouth and nose; Afterwards, the fragrance pierced into the person's nostrils like a needle point, it was unavoidable, and the fragrance made people dizzy.

Even if he likes the smell of spices, Pei Xingyuan couldn't help but raise his hand and rub the tip of his nose: "Why is it so fragrant here?"

Jin Daji smiled and said, "Here is where Dongshi hoards spices."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Pei Xingyuan heard that although he was already a little dizzy from the fragrance, he couldn't help but look up and look around. This is indeed not the residence of the common people. The surrounding houses are flat and simple without any light. They are obviously warehouses for hoarding things. The fragrance is so strong, it really is the place to hoard spices.

Jin Daji smiled and said: "So, does the young master understand why you can't smell the medicine anymore?"

"..."

Pei Xingyuan didn't speak, but took a breath of relief in his heart.

Having reached this place, the carriage became slower and slower, and finally, after turning into a narrow and long alley, the carriage finally stopped.

Jin Daji put down the reins and whip, and jumped out of the carriage: "Here we are."

Pei Xingyuan hesitated for a moment, and followed him out of the carriage, but did not go forward immediately, but still stood under the carriage, looking ahead with the faint light from the still shaking lantern above his head.

In front of you, there is a small open space about seven or eight feet long and wide. There are several deep ruts on the ground, and some scattered spices fall on both sides. Obviously, there used to be horse-drawn carts or porters who came to deliver spices. There are traces left by time, and not far ahead, the low silhouettes of three bungalows are reflected by the faint lights.

Pei Xingyuan said: "That's—"

Jin Daji turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile, "Young Master Pei, that's our warehouse."

"...!"

Pei Xingyuan's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

Although he knew that he should try his best to calm down at this time and not show an overly excited expression, but he still couldn't restrain his heart beating like thunder, pounding his chest directly, and his breathing gradually became heavy.

However, he still tried to calm himself down.

Glancing at the three bungalows that were not too big, he said, "You put so many herbs here?"

As he spoke, he tilted his head and looked again: "Can you let it go?"

Jin Daji smiled, and said: "Mr. Pei may have forgotten that it has been nine days since the plague was discovered, and even if our medicines piled up like a mountain, if we send them to Yanzuofang like this every day, more than half of them have already been consumed. La."

"……Oh."

"So, I lost five hundred catties of medicine out of thin air, and I'm doing business with my head."

"..."

"If it weren't for Mr. Pei, you offered a high price, I would never agree."

Pei Xingyuan smiled and said, "I would like to thank Brother Jin."

Jin Daji also grinned, and at this time, the greedy light shining in those small black bean-like eyes was a little stronger than before, he said; "Now, should Mr. Pei give the money to you?" Me?"

"That's when—"

Pei Xingyuan was about to reach into his pocket for money.

But subconsciously, he stopped suddenly, looked at the three dark bungalows in front of him again, and then said with a smile: "Brother Jin, why should you be in such a hurry? I'm all here, and the money can still escape. Let's go first." Let me look at the medicine, put the things in the car, and I'll pay you right away."

"..."

Hearing this, Jin Daji's expression didn't change, but the corner of his mouth twitched unconsciously.

He let out a deep breath, and said with a smile, "Okay."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but at this moment, his smile looks somewhat ugly, even distorted.

But the thing was already close in front of his eyes, Pei Xingyuan didn't care so much, so he turned around and walked towards the three bungalows, paying attention to his surroundings while walking - although Jin Daji was driving the car on the way here, and he could obviously feel the other side He took some detours, as if he didn't want him to know the exact location of these bungalows. However, he has an excellent memory and has been outstanding in arithmetic since he was a child. He has more or less memorized a few intersections along the way.

As long as he goes back tomorrow and brings people back, he will definitely find this place.

Once you find this place, you will be able to find out the owners of these houses. Even if they are not directly subordinate to their "other party", there must be some relationship. With Yu Wenye's identity in Daxing City, it is not difficult to figure it out.

Thinking of this, Pei Xingyuan couldn't help but twitch a faint smile.

At this time, he had already walked outside the door of one of the rooms.

The door was not locked, and there was a small window on the wall next to it, but it was dark inside, and it was impossible to see what was piled up inside.

You still have to go in.

While reaching out to push the door, Pei Xingyuan said, "Brother Jin, it's too dark here, please light a lamp."

Jin Daji behind him smiled and said, "Of course."

While speaking, he heard the sound of rubbing. It was someone behind him lighting a torch with a torch. The moment he pushed open the door, the flashing fire suddenly lit up, illuminating the place in front of Pei Xingyuan. Room--

Empty!

He was startled, and immediately felt something, and was about to turn around to ask for clarification, when he felt a sudden push on his shoulder, and suddenly he staggered and fell into it!
"what!"

Pei Xingyuan exclaimed, managed to stand still, turned around quickly, and heard a bang, the door was closed, and then someone locked it outside.

Pei Xingyuan panicked all of a sudden, rushed up and pushed the door forcefully, the door shook a few times, but still did not move, Pei Xingyuan panicked suddenly, but he still managed to calm down, and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing? ?”

Outside, no one answered him.

The uneasiness in Pei Xingyuan's heart was getting bigger and bigger, even more suffocating than the dark night surrounding him at the moment, he gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Let me out!"

After finishing speaking, he began to kick the door vigorously, but there was nothing but the sound of the door being on the verge of cracking in the silent night.

After struggling a few more times, Pei Xingyuan was out of breath.

And he also understood that the houses they passed by just now are far away from here. Since this place is a storehouse for storing spices, there should be no one living nearby. What's more, I heard that this place was taken away because of the plague. There are few people, so since these people brought him here, they are sure that no one will disturb here.

So tonight—

He forced himself to calm down, let out a deep breath, then smiled, and said to the people outside the door: "Brother Jin, what do you mean?"

"hey-hey,"

Jin Daji's familiar laughter resounded, but, in such a silent night, the ferocious meaning in that laughter was no longer concealed.

He said: "Mr. Pei, do you think we don't know what you mean?"

we……

Hearing these two words, Pei Xingyuan gasped suddenly.

And the other party seemed to no longer have any scruples, and continued with a sneer: "Do you think we really believe that you are only here to buy medicine?"

"..."

"Of course, buying medicine is not fake."

"..."

"But you must come to our warehouse, just to find out the location of the warehouse, and then find out who the warehouse belongs to, and then follow the clues to find out the identity of my master."

Pei Xingyuan's face darkened.

At this moment, it seems to be the time to "see the poor".

After being silent for a while, he sneered and said, "Your master is really clever and alert—a person who knows the future."
