Chapter 526 Izumo Black Market Izumo Port is an important port of Daqian. Since the founding of the empire by the ancestor emperor, it has become a gathering place for hundreds of tribes inside and outside the Great Wilderness. Many ships traveling from east to west, north to south would stop here, and merchants from the Great Wilderness would also stop here. Therefore, Izumo Port had a variety of cultures and hundreds of ethnic groups blending with each other. Under the increasingly corrupt regime of Daqian, Izumo Port also became a free trade capital. Whether they are travelers chasing their dreams, merchants seeking wealth, or lost travelers returning home, they can always find some surprises they want here. Therefore, the black market in Izumo Port is very developed. Even the most vicious prisoners can find their final destination. We walked down the white stone walls and lighthouse of Izumo Port, through the densely packed streets and alleys. As the sea breeze blew deeper into the streets, crowded corners gradually appeared. The sounds of hawking were endless, and people of different skin colors were coming and going. The deeper you go into Izumo Port, the more prosperous it becomes, and of course, the more crowded it becomes. When we entered the underground where there was no sunlight, lights replaced the daylight. The noise was like a boiling oil pan in the streets, and the swear words mixed in various languages could always be understood. Luo Er sat in the shop, drinking tea leisurely. The maid fanned him from behind, and he looked relaxed and at ease.
For someone like him who owns a shop in the black market at the port, this kind of life is simply too comfortable. If he could buy a few beautiful and playful concubines, perhaps his life would be complete. Unfortunately, the government of Izumo Port strictly controls human trafficking. Even if Luo Er wants to buy one, it will cost him a lot of money. For a miser like him, spending a lot of money to buy a concubine is absolutely unacceptable. Jingle bell bell~ The crisp sound of wind chimes interrupted Luo Er's delusion. He sat up and looked outside the counter, and saw a man in a black cloak walking in. He was about meters tall, and judging by his build, he should be a young man, but he had a hood on his head, so his face couldn't be seen clearly. Luo Er was not unfamiliar with people dressed like this, as most people who could come to the black market dressed like this. This could be considered a unique disguise in the black market, allowing people to safely conduct some shady activities. "Sir, what brings you to our inn for a good cause?" Luo Er stood up, asked the maid to leave, put down the teacup in his hand, and walked towards the man in black with a smile on his face. When doing business, he was always friendly. "I heard from others that you can get a boat ticket to the imperial capital." The man in black did not respond to Luo Er, but took off his hood. A young and handsome face appeared, and Luo Er's fat body was reflected in his brown eyes. Luo Er stopped and looked him up and down, his expression somewhat hesitant. "You're going to the Imperial Capital?" He hesitated, but continued. "I can get this thing, but it's very troublesome." "What's the price?" the young man asked calmly. "This is not a question of money, sir. You should know that the government has been very strict recently. It is difficult to get a boat ticket even if you pay a lot of money. But if you..." Before Luo Er could finish his words, he saw a cloth bag fall on the counter with a crisp sound. He glanced at it casually and saw a few pieces of gold glittering inside. Surprisingly agile despite his fat figure, Luo Er quickly picked up the bag of gold coins and examined it. As soon as he picked up one and put it in front of his eyes, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. "The gold and jade from Taishen Palace?! How do you have this stuff? You know, this thing is very expensive on the black market..." Luo Er was so excited that he was incoherent. When he looked at the young man and wanted to say something, the calm and cold eyes made him shut his mouth. "Is it enough?" the young man asked again. "Yes, it's enough!" Luo Er said with a flattering smile. "Not to mention getting you a boat ticket, it's more than enough for you to become an official! Sir, don't worry, I will definitely help you do this beautifully." "I'll come get it in a day." The young man put on his hood, opened the door and left without looking back. Only Luo Er was left holding the bag of gold and jade, reluctant to let go, and kept muttering. "The gold and jade of the Taishen Palace are rare treasures. Who is this guy? He actually has gold and jade made by the Taishen Palace. This piece of gold and jade can be exchanged for at least thirty taels of gold. This business is not small."
Luo Er muttered to himself, then carefully put away the bag of gold and jade. He glanced at the door of the shop, stood there for a while, then hung a sign saying "Closed" outside the door, and locked it. As for the young man whose mysterious origin he was thinking about, he was now walking on the streets of the black market. "This black market in Izumo Port is really lively." Jiang Wen smiled as he looked at the scene around him, and then a little white fox came out of his arms. The little fox lazily laid on his chest and poked him with his hand. "Izumo Port is an important place connecting to the imperial capital. The ordinary business exchanges of the imperial capital rely on this place. Naturally, many people come here to do business. At the beginning, Chi Yao wanted to set up a happy place in Izumo Port, but for some reason, he disappeared." The little fox was Bai Jing, but she did not transform into a human and follow Jiang Wen. The group came from Jingxu Mountain to Izumo Port in order to go to the imperial capital. As for why Jiang Wen didn't fly over directly, there were some reasons. After returning from the border and the Great Wall, the three of them headed towards the imperial capital. When they were close to the imperial capital, they felt a huge force suppressing everything around them. Whether flying with a sword or in the air, it was difficult to fly. Later, I went to the Xianmen gathering to find out, and only then did I realize that there was a big chaos in the imperial capital, and now the entire Zhongzhou is protected by the Taishen Palace with a large formation. The land passage leading to the imperial capital was blocked by the imperial guards, so the only way to get in was by water. Jiang Wen naturally wanted to keep a low profile when entering the capital. He went to the imperial capital just to look for someone. Since the road was blocked, they simply took a boat and followed the mortals. Izumo Port is the port connecting to the imperial capital, and there is a prosperous black market. Jiang Wen and Bai Jing decided to buy a boat ticket from the black market. When he arrived at the black market, Jiang Wen finally understood why the black market in Chuyun Port was world-famous. Not only ordinary people, but also many cultivators lived in seclusion here to consign goods. There was no shortage of goods from all over the world. As long as you pay enough gold and silver, not to mention the ship ticket, even getting an official position would be no problem. "So where are we going now?" Jiang Wen asked curiously. He planned to look around the black market to see if there was anything he liked. It would be a good idea to give it to Yan Gongli and the others as a gift when he returned. "I heard that the black market in Izumo Port has several levels underground. The lower you go, the more expensive the items sold are. There are even aliens selling them." Foreigners naturally refer to people who are not from Daqian. These were originally one of the myriad tribes of Taicang, but after Daqian was established, they were driven to the far north. However, due to their special appearance, many human traffickers still risk their lives to go to the Far North to capture foreigners. "Then let's go and take a look." Jiang Wen said with a smile.
