As always, Qian Jianhuan used the original carriage to carry a bunch of food, gold and silver treasures, as well as medical materials, and embarked on the road to the city that never sleeps.
She couldn't remember the route when asked for Qian Jianhuan, but she was inexplicably gifted when asked to look at a map to find a place.
Using the fastest speed, she arrived in Qingcang, the entrance to the city that never sleeps in the Yin capital of Northern Yan, in two days and two nights.
When I came to Qingcang, I saw thick mist on the sea. There was a boatman on the water wearing a bamboo hat and tattered but clean clothes. He was about 5-60 years old. Due to the mist, it was hard to see clearly.
Just like the old man ferrying across the Wangchuan River.
When the old man saw Qian Jianhuan on the beach, he rowed over and stroked his beard and asked, "Are you going to the city that never sleeps?"
Qian Jianhuan looked at him warily and doubtfully, and nodded.
"Girl, to go to this city that never sleeps, you have to get on my boat." The old man pointed to his boat.
"How much money?" Qian Jianhuan asked still vigilantly, after all, there is no free lunch in the world.
"The rich have five taels and the poor have five pennies," the old man said with a smile.
"But my carriage..." Qian Jianhuan looked at his carriage worriedly.
"The carriage can also come up." The old man smiled mysteriously.
Qian Jianhuan always felt weird.
"If the girl doesn't put the carriage up, you can also leave your name on the carriage. When you enter the Evernight City, there will be people at the port who will help you bring the carriage and horses into the Evernight City. You only need to give them five taels of silver.
." The old man said, feeling uneasy about money and happiness.
"I... When this carriage comes up, your boat must not capsize." Qian Jianhuan was really reluctant to leave his gold, silver and jewelry on the shore.
"My boat is the boat that Master Lu Ban took when he went to sea. Not to mention the carriage, even a hundred horses will be fine," the old man explained with a smile.
"Lu Ban?" Qian Jianhuan shook his head as he had never heard of it before.
"Don't you believe it, girl?" Seeing that she didn't believe it, the old man pointed at her horse.
"You bring up the carriage and take a look." The old man stroked his beard and looked confident.
Qian Jianhuan unexpectedly went to pull the carriage up...
When the carriage actually came up, Qian Jianhuan was shocked.
"That's right... the boat hasn't sunk even a bit." The old man smiled. "Girl, you can come up with confidence this time. My old man didn't lie to you."
Jianhuan gave the old man ten taels of silver and got on the boat.
The old man took the money and disappeared on the smoky sea.
In about half an hour, we arrived at the ferry in the city that never sleeps.
Qian Jianhuan pulled the carriage onto the ferry. Whether it was around the trees on both sides of the bank or on the smoky sea, there were flying fireflies...
After entering the ferry, Qian Jianhuan couldn't help but sigh, the city that never sleeps is indeed the city that never sleeps. It was midnight when Qian Jianhuan arrived, and the city that never sleeps is still brightly lit and bustling, as big as a city.
It is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the biggest feature is that there are many gambling houses and brothels, but not including the Baihua Temple, it is also extremely noisy.
The Baihua Temple is in the most prosperous center of the Yin City, while the entrance to the Nightless City is on the more remote seaside in the Yin City called Qingcang.
"Does the girl need help setting up the horse?" A well-dressed man at the edge of the ferry caught up and asked.
"Thank you, sir," Qian Jianhuan gave up the horse.
"How much silver is the girl's settlement? Is it one tael, ten taels, one hundred taels or... five cents?" the man still asked.
"How do you say that?" Qian Jianhuan couldn't help but be curious.
"The higher the price, the better our property will be protected in the pavilion," the man explained.
"One hundred taels," Qian Jianhuan replied. After all, the car contained at most a few thousand taels and valuable medicines. The medicines were mainly for Rong Ji, in case he was injured, and she carried tens of thousands of taels with her.
There are two banknotes.
"Okay girl, do you need accommodation?" the man asked again.
"What do you mean?" Qian Jianhuan asked.
"Similarly, the more expensive the better." The man could see that she was a wealthy woman.
"How much?" Qian Jianhuan got straight to the point.
"Five hundred taels, including food and lodging for three months. They are all of the best quality. You can come as you please," the man said.
"Okay, five hundred taels" Qian Jianhuan gave the money readily. If she hadn't opened the door in front of Linyue Tower, she would have thought it was a robbery, so she might as well kill someone. But now she is different, she is not short of money.
"Girl, come with me," the man said.
Soon we came to a huge... gambling house!!!
I went and spent 500 taels to let her live in a gambling house! Qian Jianhuan widened her beautiful almond eyes and couldn't believe it.
"Girl, don't be surprised. This is the front yard. It only costs five cents a night. You live in the backyard. The backyard is grand and well-guarded. This is where you should live." The man smiled and saw Qian Jianhuan standing warily in the sky.
The entrance of Le Gambling House.
"Girl, come in," the man said.
"..." Qian Jianhuan entered cautiously. The noise of gambling and shouting inside was really too loud.
"Hey... where is this little lady? She's fair and tender, as beautiful as a flower." A drunkard who was drinking and watching the gambling game came over and blocked Qian Jianhuan's path.
"Excuse me, sir, let me go. This is a distinguished guest in the backyard of Tianle Gambling House. If I hurt her, she will have to pay for it." The man stood in front of Qian Jianhuan and said in a rude tone.
"Oh!!! Living in the backyard is a big deal? Isn't it just 500 taels? Sir, I just won a few big ones, here they go!!!" The drunk man took out 500 taels of silver notes from his sleeves, which was probably more than that.
"I'm sorry, uncle, you can kill people and set fires in the front yard of Tianle Casino, but the owner of the backyard can't do anything about it. Even after giving money, you can't go to the backyard to cause trouble. This is the rule!" The man said firmly and had an overwhelming aura.
"It's okay to kill people and set fires in the front yard, but what about robbing people?" The drunk man looked at Qian Jianhuan's wretched look and started to laugh out loud.
Qian Jianhuan frowned and felt extremely sick.
"Please make way, sir. Who will live in the VIP building of our Tianle Casino after breaking the rules?" The man suppressed the urge to hit someone.
"Hey! I won't give in today. Why? I have been living in the city that never sleeps for so many years, and I have never seen such a charming girl..." The drunk man looked at Qian Jianhuan as he was minding his own business, his eyes becoming more and more obscene.
"Don't tell me, did I drink too much? Or is this girl magical? The more I look at her... the more beautiful she becomes, why is she so beautiful, baby..." The drunk man rushed towards Qian Jianhuan like crazy.
Qian Jianhuan backed away in disgust and fell into a strong embrace. The man behind him held Qian Jianhuan's waist and slapped the drunken man on the stomach with one hand.
"Poof!!!" The drunk man had a black palm mark on his belly and vomited black blood.
"City Lord!" The man saluted when he saw the man holding Qian Jianhuan in his arms.
"Yes." The city lord nodded, and then said coldly, "Pull him out and bury him."
Only then did Qian Jianhuan react and quickly got out of the man's arms.
"Send her to the backyard." After the city lord said this, he glanced at Qian Jianhuan vaguely, turned around and left.
The onlookers dispersed at night, and Qian Jianhuan followed the man into the backyard, but his ears rang with the discussion of people in the front yard of the gambling house.
"The Lord of the City Guard has never been in charge of Tianle Casino!"
"This girl is surprising"
"Why would the Lord of the City Guard take care of her?"
"You look so beautiful that even the Lord of the City Guard might make an exception for you..."
…
"Girl, don't pay attention to them. The city lord has a weird temper. Although he is paranoid about everything, he is still very good," the man explained.
"Oh..." Qian Jianhuan nodded.
"But I was really shocked. I have never seen the city lord help anyone when he was angry. You are the first one." The man held a lantern and led the way. This chapter has been completed!
