Fa Yilian's judgment did not shake Wei Zhao's decision, and Fa Yilian's words did not move Wei Zhao in the slightest.When the eldest princess decides to do something, a slave has neither the right nor the obligation to stop his master.

"Guest officer, this is what you want."

Wei Zhao's ears moved, she heard Xiao Er's knock on the door, and Fa Yilian slowly opened the door.The door panel is a bit old, and it made a creaking sound when it was pulled open, as if an old man was overwhelmed and knocked on his old waist.Afterwards, Faileen thanked her with her strange accent. Xiaoer is a smart person, and maybe he is used to seeing all kinds of overseas visitors, so he can joke a few words.

"Guest officer, is this a merchant coming to Dazhou?"

Faileen snorted noncommittally.Xiaoer laughed along with him: "My Great Zhou has outstanding people, and the people are friendly and hospitable. The guest officials will definitely like it."

Wei Zhao held his chin, and sneered a few times in his heart, no matter how big Zhou is, but as Fa Yilian, he likes Da Zhou?She thought of the glow in Fa Yilian's eyes, and she said to herself, "This world is very vast, wide, not only Da Zhou."Wei Zhao couldn't help but clicked his tongue and lowered his eyes.Her fingers touched the ear porch, where the temperature was very high, scorching her cool fingertips.

The slave is too talkative and not very nice...a bit slick.

Wei Zhao thought.

Fa Yilian asked Xiaoer to buy new clothes and a cone hat.She turned around and presented these to Wei Zhao, then raised her eyes to look at the sky: "We will go out in half an hour."

"Do you know where those people are?" Wei Zhao asked casually. She picked up a piece of clothing, which was not very pretty, and it hurt when it fell between her fingers. She couldn't help frowning.Such clothes, placed in her princess mansion, even the lowest servants would not choose them.

"I don't know. When the master is changing clothes, I will go downstairs to find out the news."

Wei Zhao grunted, waved his hand, and signaled Fa Yilian to go out.But Fa Yilian didn't leave, she looked at Wei Zhao seriously: "Will the master change clothes? Do you need my help?"

In the princess mansion, of course Wei Zhao didn't need to do anything, he just needed to raise his arm, and someone would naturally dress it for her.But now, Wei Zhao raised his eyes and sneered, "What you think is beautiful, get lost!"

Faileen bowed and retreated swiftly.Wei Zhao stood on the spot alone, and stood there blankly for a while.

The surroundings are empty, there is no one around, a little lonely and deserted, just like those lively breaths, the fresh life is pulled out at once, the surrounding temperature begins to drop, and gradually becomes colder, with a dead emptiness .Wei Zhao pressed his forehead to relieve himself from the indescribable atmosphere, and then picked up his clothes.

By the time Wei Zhao went out, the sky was already dark.But the voice outside the door is still lively and noisy, it seems that there is no slight change due to the weather.

Since the curfew was lifted by the emperor three generations ago, the night life has been familiar to the people of Dazhou.In Shendu, in Wei Zhao's Princess Palace, even in the middle of the night, cars are still like flowing water and horses are like dragons.But staying in the silent mountain forest for too long, Wei Zhao felt uncomfortable for a moment.The surroundings were too noisy and noisy, which made her feel like she didn't belong here.

Wei Zhao paused, her gaze subconsciously wandered downstairs, and she saw that familiar figure.That head of fiery red hair was very obvious around her, and she was standing there lazily, chatting and laughing with others.

Wei Zhao had never seen this side of a slave before. She lowered her eyes to cover her clear water-like pupils, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, in a half-smile.Wheat's skin is not obtrusive among a group of coolies, but it is full of tension and beauty.At this moment, she seemed to be completely mixed with those people, but she stood out distinctly, like the only protagonist in a famous painting.

As if aware of the scrutinizing gaze, Fa Yilian raised her eyes and met Wei Zhao... the scarf hanging from the cone hat.

Fa Yilian stood up straight, said a few words to the others in a low voice, and then strode towards Wei Zhao.Wei Zhao didn't move. She saw Fa Yilian move her legs and soon came to her side. She lowered her head slightly, looked at herself, and said softly, "Can we go? Or do you want to eat something first?" What?"

Wei Zhao shook his head: "Do business first."

Faileen nodded: "I've already checked the place. Dragons and snakes are mixed there. No matter who gives you food or drink for a while, don't enter it."

Dragons and snakes are mixed together, can they beat the deep palace full of filth?Wei Zhao thought, she didn't refute, but just nodded, looking like this, she was inexplicably cute.Faileen's eyes softened a little.She stretched out her hand to Wei Zhao: "You hold me, it's a mess here, and there are a lot of people, it would be bad if I got lost."

Wei Zhao felt that what Fa Yilian said made sense, so he reached out his hand.The skin of the two touched each other, and they both paused again.When the two were in the mountains before, they always held hands.At that time, there was no one else, just the two of them, and they were each other's dependence and concern.But right now, it seems that they have returned to the human world all of a sudden, with their palms touching and their body temperature touching, but it seems that there is a little difference.

But what was the difference, Wei Zhao couldn't figure it out, and she didn't want to think about it either.

This is the outer city, and most of the people living in the outer city are manual laborers. The surrounding smell is not very pleasant, and the perfect urban water conservancy and sewage discharge have not been extended here, so the surrounding area is always filled with an unpleasant smell.The river not far away flows slowly, and from there you can go all the way to the city. Occasionally, there will be cargo ships passing by on the water, and the surrounding laborers will shout loudly, hoping to have a job to do.On both sides of the narrow street, wine flags and canvas flutter in the wind, and various smells float on the street.Shopkeepers walked the streets, children ran back and forth with their bare feet, the voices of laughing and laughing, shouting and laughing, came from all around, enveloping Wei Zhao's five senses.

It's really not a very pleasant place.

Wei Zhao moved closer to Fa Yilian's side.

However, Fa Yilian showed an unusually familiar attitude. From time to time, she asked Wei Zhao to avoid the sewage on the ground, pulled her away from the urchins who were snaking around, pulled away the pickpockets who approached cautiously, and stared away those curious ones viciously. , Obscene sight.

Wei Zhao felt that his mood was much calmer, although the surroundings were noisy, the smell was unpleasant, and the way ahead was so confusing and hard to find.

"We're here." Fa Yilian led Wei Zhao to a low building.

Wei Zhao raised his head and saw the word "gambling" drawn on it, and the word "dang" was circled.It seems that here is both a casino and a pawn shop.

There were two teenagers standing at the door. They were cleanly dressed. Seeing that they did not show the usual curious eyes of the locals, they cupped their hands neither humble nor humble when they approached: "You two distinguished guests are coming, how many do you want to come? Or do you want to come?" Change some money?"

"Neither." Fa Yilian threw a piece of broken silver over, with an arrogant expression, while Wei Zhao's mouth twitched. They seized a total of such a bag of broken silver, and they don't know how much is left.

"Some businesses need a little help."

The two teenagers were obviously used to dealing with these matters, they took the silver and took a look, then cupped their hands and said: "Your honored guest, please come with me."

The business here is really big.

Wei Zhao was led into a hut, and a middle-aged man stood inside. She didn't say a word the whole time, but Fa Yilian took over everything.Fa Yilian is not from Dazhou, she has a frankness that does not belong to Dazhou people in her nature, she spoke very directly and bluntly, but Wei Zhao didn't stop her, she wanted to take a look and see what happened to her slave to what extent.

But beyond Wei Zhao's expectation, the middle-aged man was very businesslike, quickly explained the affairs, checked the faces of the two of them, and took notes.After finishing all this, he put away his pen and ink, and said, "Normal would have to wait three days, and urgent one would be tomorrow morning. What do you two think?"

Fa Yilian glanced at Wei Zhao, but Wei Zhao didn't move, so Fa Yilian replied, "Hurry up."

"So" the middle-aged man flipped the abacus and typed out a number, "20 taels of silver for the two of you."

Fa Yilian handed all the silver taels into the hands of the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man shook his purse and laughed again: "If the two girls don't have enough money, I still have a pawn shop at home. The price is moderate, and Mr. Bao is satisfied."

Fa Yilian's face darkened, she didn't answer, but left with Wei Zhao.

The road was much quieter, and the two walked forward in silence. After a long time, Wei Zhao said, "Has it always been like this?"

Fa Yilian paused for a moment, thinking about the meaning of Wei Zhao's words, and then said: "There are property everywhere in Dazhou, and all the tourists want to come here to make money. Dazhou is a big city, there are many jobs, and there are also many refugees."

Fake guides, fake identities, these are all fake.But those floating people, those who hide their identities, are all real.They are driven by money, freedom, and a better life, running desperately towards the future.

"Life is never easy."

Faileen finally said.

But this time, Wei Zhao didn't refute or ridicule, she thought for a long time before saying, "Pawn my clothes."

Because the money is gone, she already understands that they need money every step of the way, and they still have a long way to go.
