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 mutton 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 out a lot of the information he wanted before leaving.
Zhao Changhe glanced at Sanniang. She was still drinking with a smile and stretched 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 kind of 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 my information 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 the whereabouts.”
Zhao Changhe also nodded: "It 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 supply. 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. To eat, she needs food, water, and horse feed. If you continue, you may take the risk and come to Huangshaji again. You might even be able to see her if you squat here. It doesn't matter if you want to be a hero to 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." What? For example, seeing some special things...I don’t mean buying some 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 because in addition to fighting, there is also selling... Aren't humans just like beasts?" Sanniang smiled slightly: "Whether it is the one 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. At this moment, 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 anymore. They are all clever people who want to trick them into killing Wu Balu, from Yue Hongling to Situ Xiao to Han Wu. Sick, no one has taken the bait. This guy surnamed Wang is even more insidious. He keeps saying random things here and there. I still haven't figured out what his real purpose is. I believe he is here for us."
"His surname may not be Wang."
"Can't you bastard?"
The waiter looked at her aggrievedly: "Sanniang... my surname is also Wang."
Sanniang: "..."
The waiter sighed: "Fifth Master didn't say that he wanted to kill Wu Balu. You just decided to kill him on your own. The information about the person you wanted to kill was sold for money. It's simply not necessary..."
"Is this shameless? Pig head." Sanniang snorted: "They will question the information given for free. They think that the information they paid for is the information they have worked hard to get, so they will not suspect it is fake. What do you know?"
"I think you just want to make money. Be careful that Ubalu will trouble you first. The Fifth Master is beyond your reach."
"I'm hanging around here, when have I ever relied on the Fifth Master?"
"Yes Yes Yes……"
Sanniang was very proud: "Anyway, Wang went to the animal farm, so there is always something to watch..."
"Wait a minute." Another waiter ran in: "Sanniang, that surnamed Wang didn't go to the animal farm."
Sanniang's smile froze on her face: "Then where did he go?"
"He went outwards, out of the direction of the market..."
Sanniang was stunned.
Over there, Zhao Changhe left Sanniang and walked slowly along the dimly lit foreign street, like walking outside a market.
The surrounding environment is actually very exotic. It would be very interesting if you traveled here, but unfortunately I have no intention to go there at the moment, my mind is full of things.
I didn't dare to communicate too deeply with Sanniang, so I could only say here and there to prevent her from seeing the true meaning. Safety was safety, but there was no direct entry point for the myriad of threads, so I had to go through them slowly, which was very taxing on my brain.
Sometimes Zhao Changhe is a little tired of this kind of behavior. He has been like this ever since he rejected Tang Wanzhuang's brand. He only thinks about singing and drinking wildly, and ends up burning his brain wherever he goes. Are you tired? But now, I also know that it is not the Zhenmosi brand, but the lack of strength.
With Xia Longyuan's strength, I can't care what you are doing, I just watch the monkeys. Without that strength, you have to use your brain wherever you go, otherwise you will die without knowing how.
Anyway, the harvest is actually great.
At least Zhao Changhe was 80% sure this time where the missing team would be if they were not dead.
If he was sold as a slave in the Colosseum, would he have to face Ubalu? How to carry out this operation... Considering Sanniang's attitude towards Ubalu, she may want to go there and do something.
But unfortunately, there was no need for him to go, it was meaningless, because there was no way to save the entire slave farm... The mission goal was 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 headed north with an empty car.
There is a certain probability that their "empty trucks" are carrying "slaves". This was the only way to enter the market. In order to prevent the Qiao family from causing trouble, I kept staring at the window. No one came in at all, which showed that the "goods" were still outside and had not been handed over.
Therefore, as long as the person is not dead, most of the tasks assigned by Cui Yuanyong will be in the caravan at this time; if the person is dead, he can still find out in the caravan. After going around and around, the starting point was the Qiao family caravan encountered on the road. No matter what, they had to go on a night visit.
