Chapter 898 Extra: Xianyin Mountain (2)
Ziyuan and Zile in the carriage were feeling very uncomfortable because of the cloth bag and couldn't help struggling.
The night snack slipped through the cloth bag and got out.
Ye Er made a gesture of stepping forward towards him. Then the two of them lowered their voices and carefully helped the others untie the bags.
Bullet turned around and looked at the darkness around him, with a look of tension on his face.
"Sister Yier, where are we now?"
Fortunately, his voice was low enough, and the carriage's bumpy ride made such a loud noise that the driver outside didn't hear what was happening inside.
"Shh!"
Yi Er No Shu put his index finger in front of his mouth, signaling Zi Zhan not to speak.
"We've been kidnapped by human traffickers and are now heading to the place where they're trading. Don't worry, don't be afraid, Brother Xuanfeng is right behind us to protect us, and we'll be fine."
"If something unexpected happens, you'll just listen to my instructions. If I tell you to cry, you'll cry; if I tell you to make a scene, you'll make a scene. Got it?"
Several children nodded, and regarded Yi'er as their backbone.
The carriage had been traveling for an unknown amount of time when it finally began to slow down.
Yier noticed something was wrong and quickly tied up the cloth bags of the other children. She and Yexiao also got into the bags and made preparations quietly.
"Sir Black Left Envoy." As soon as Xiao Huo got off the car, he saluted respectfully to a man wearing a black robe and a black hat.
The man was almost hidden in the darkness, with only a pair of eyes shining dimly in the moonlight exposed.
"Didn't we say we shouldn't trade recently? Someone from higher up is coming to investigate Xianyin Mountain. If the news leaks out, none of us will survive!"
Xiao Huo noticed his displeasure and quickly explained, "Sir, this is truly a rare treasure!"
"I can guarantee that these today are the best of the best! I will definitely not let you down."
The man raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Xiao Huo was very clear about his standards. Since he said it was the best of the best, it meant that it must be indeed top-quality goods.
"Please check it out and see if you can give me a good price."
The man in black robe nodded, opened the curtain of the car, picked up a black cloth bag at random, opened it and took a look.
Zi Le in the bag was sleeping quietly. Even though he had no expression on his face, his smiling face was still pretty and cute. His fair skin was rosy, tender and smooth. It was obvious that he was a child who grew up in a wealthy family.
When the man in black robe saw it, his eyes lit up and he immediately opened another bag, which contained Zizhan.
Zizhan closed his eyes and pretended not to wake up yet. His face was calm, but he was extremely nervous in his heart, and even his palms were sweating.
However, after all, he had been with Yi'er for quite some time, and his courage and composure had increased a lot compared to when he was the little grandson of the emperor. So even in this situation, he performed very well. At least, he did not let the man in black robe notice anything unusual.
"It's really top-quality stuff."
The man in black robe did not continue to check, but was very satisfied with the people sent by Xiao Huo.
With goods like this, it's worth taking some risks.
"Master Hei Zuoshi, what price can you give for this batch of goods?"
The man known as the Black Left Envoy hadn't spoken yet, but Xiao Huo, fearing the price he offered wasn't high enough, began to complain again, "Master Black Left Envoy, I've taken a huge risk with this shipment! Once I sell this, I won't be able to stay in Qu City any longer!"
"Sir, please be merciful and give me a fair price so I can go out and hide."
Hearing this, Hei Zuoshi suddenly became alert and felt uneasy. "Xiao Huo, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that there is something fishy about the origins of these children?
"Oh no, no, no!" Xiao Huo realized he had misunderstood and quickly explained, "My Lord, you misunderstood. What I meant was that these children were the children of wealthy merchants from other places. At noon, while investigating their situation, their guards saw my true appearance!"
"Now, if this child is lost, the guard will definitely report me to the authorities. Therefore, I must leave Mao Town, or even leave Quzhou City, before the guard finds out!"
After hearing this, the black left envoy's tense heart finally relaxed a little.
"Humph, since his true appearance has been seen, why don't you kill his guards? Otherwise, you wouldn't have brought yourself so much trouble!"
Xiao Huo smiled apologetically, "Yes, yes, your Excellency is right. It's my fault for not thinking it through."
After laughing, Xiao Huo couldn't help but complain in his heart, "If they really kill someone, then forget about making money. I'm afraid that the Black Left Envoy will kill them to silence them once he gets his hands on the fire!"
Regarding matters like this, they in Xianyin Mountain are extremely cautious, so how could they possibly allow a murderer to run around with the secrets of Xianyin Mountain?
"Alright, since we've been trading for so long, I'll let you make a profit this time!"
"After this storm has passed, you can come back. We at Xianyin Mountain will take as much as you can of this level of goods!"
After saying that, he took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Huo without even counting them.
Xiao Huo suppressed his excitement and handed it to the old woman behind him as if he didn't care.
"Thank you, sir! Once this storm has passed, I will definitely come back and continue looking for good stuff for you, sir!"
The Black Left Envoy was very satisfied with his attitude and immediately waved his hand, "Alright, you guys can go now. This carriage is for me. I will be back to report!"
Xiao Huo nodded quickly, bowed, and said, "Sir, take care!"
The man in black robe got on the carriage and drove towards the nearby mountains.
When the carriage had gone far away, Xiao Huo quickly turned around and asked his maid, "How is it? How much did you give?"
The woman's face was filled with excitement, her eyes filled with ecstasy, "Five thousand taels!!"
She has never seen so much money in her life!
"Five thousand taels?!"
Xiao Huo couldn't believe it. Could these kids be sold for so much money?
In the past, even the better stuff only cost a few hundred taels, but this time, the Black Left Envoy could actually give so much!
This far exceeded his expectations!
If they could come across a few more of these guys, wouldn’t they be rich?
"Boss, why did you just say you'd wait until the storm subsides before coming back? Didn't we agree to retire and find a place to live a good life?"
