The Strongest Soldier in the City

"Old man, where have we been?" Chen Liuhe suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at Nu Xiu and asked.

Nu Xiu looked around at the surrounding situation, shook his head, and said: "I don't know, this black prison is wide, there are many places that I haven't been to, and it's still on this dirt road in the mountains!"

After a pause, Nuxiu continued: "However, our direction is correct. Heitian City is at the center of Black Prison. Based on the direction we have been walking in, walking in the southeast direction, we must be farther away from Heitian City." Coming closer.”

"Then let's leave quickly? I don't want to stay in this miserable place any longer." Di Xiaotian muttered.

The six people were speechless and continued walking along this dirt road. Along the way, they met passers-by, some in carriages and some on horses. This made Chen Liuhe and others feel like they were in another world.

This is not like a modern society, this is like going back to ancient times.

"Don't look like you're making a fuss. In this black prison, supplies are scarce, so everything exists in its most primitive state. This is fine, with less noise and fuss and more simplicity and clarity. Ning." Nu Xiu explained calmly.

On the way, they also asked passers-by about the location of Heitian City, and the answers they received made them extremely happy. They were heading in the right direction. Heitian City was five hundred miles away from here, not very close, but still. It’s by no means very far!

"Senior Nuxiu, it's definitely not possible for us to just walk. At this speed, in what year and month can we reach Heitian City?" Di Xiaotian muttered to Nuxiu.

Nu Xiu said: "Find a place to stay first, and then find a way to get a few horses to travel."

Chen Liuhe said: "Old man, don't tell me that there are really no means of transportation such as cars and planes in this black prison. This is so unreasonable."

Nu Xiu glanced sideways at Chen Liuhe and said: "Of course there are, but those things here are very rare and precious, and almost all of them are in the hands of major forces. Ordinary people cannot own them at all."

Everyone walked quickly along the road, and finally saw a lonely building standing in the desolate open space on the mountainside when the sun was setting.

It was a three-story building made of bricks, tiles and wood. The style of the building was simple and had an ancient style.

That's an inn.

Ancient Road Inn!

Outside the inn, there was a large stable with horses tied up and a boy feeding the horses there.

The scene in front of him really made Chen Liuhe dumbfounded, giving him a sense of déjà vu that he had traveled back to ancient times.

"Let's rest here tonight. Remember, this inn has a lot of people coming and going, and the turnover is very high. It must be very complicated. Don't talk, don't ask, don't look. Keep all your curiosity to yourself and don't cause any trouble. No." When entering the inn, Nu Xiu did not forget to warn Di Xiaotian and the others.

Several people nodded silently.

When you walk into the inn, the first thing you see is a spacious hall. There are many square tables in the hall. There are many guests drinking and eating at the square tables. It does feel a bit noisy and chaotic.

Nu Xiu just took a cursory glance at the situation here, and then led Chen Liuhe and others to the counter nearby.

Six people booked three rooms. It just so happened that there were still the last three rooms in the inn. It seemed that business was very booming.

The cashier at the counter was a middle-aged woman who looked to be about forty years old and had an attractive appearance.

The woman looked at Nu Xiu and the others and saw their tattered clothes and said, "You guys are very smart. They don't often move around here, do they?"

Nu Xiu had a smile on his face and said, "Is there any other explanation for this? Strangers can't stay in the hotel?"

The woman said: "That's not true. It seems to me that you have been in a fight not long ago. Don't blame me for not warning you. No matter where you come from or what trouble you cause outside, as long as you enter our ancient road inn, you will never be safe." You are allowed to stir up trouble and cause conflicts. If you break the rules of our inn, the consequences will be very serious, you know?"

"This is natural." Nu Xiu nodded politely.

"Three guest rooms, what else do you need? Do you want wine and meat?" the woman asked.

"Prepare the best banquet for us." Nu Xiu said.

"A total of five taels of gold." The woman said lightly.

These words made Chen Liuhe, Di Xiaotian and others suddenly stunned, and their eyes couldn't help showing shock.

What the hell? Five taels of gold? What's going on?

Looking at Nu Xiu again, he looked calm and composed, with no strange reaction at all. He flipped his wrist, and five small golden gold bars appeared in his palm, one or two, five, exactly five taels!

Nu Xiu handed it to the female shopkeeper calmly. After the woman took the gold bar, she smiled and ordered Nu Xiu and others to be taken to the guest room upstairs.

Di Xiaotian frowned and wanted to say something, but Nu Xiu stopped him with a cold look. The others shut up obediently and followed the boy upstairs.

After arriving in the guest room, Di Xiaotian finally couldn't hold it any longer and said, "Senior Nuxiu, what's going on? Isn't the currency here money? Why do you ask for gold as soon as you ask?"

Nu Xiu smiled and said: "This black prison is different from the outside world. Currency does not circulate here. All transactions rely on gold. Gold is the only hard currency here."

Di Xiaotian swallowed and said, "This is too weird. It's hard to imagine that there is such a place in modern society."

Nu Xiu said: "This is easy to understand. No matter where the gold is taken, it is easy to exchange for money. There is nothing surprising."

Jun Moxie said: "But this is too expensive, more expensive than robbing! We just stay here for one night and have one meal, so it costs five taels of gold? According to the current gold price in the outside world, one tael of gold It’s fifty grams, which is equivalent to twenty-five thousand yuan, and five taels is equivalent to one hundred and twenty-five thousand yuan!”

"How much does it cost to stay in this poor place for one night? It's more expensive than the top five-star hotel." Jun Moxie said angrily, feeling extremely unbalanced and feeling like he was being slaughtered like a fat pig.

"Who says it's not the case? If Senior Nuxiu hadn't stopped me at that time, I would have had to argue with that old woman. I couldn't steal the money as quickly as she did. This is simply too dark." Di Xiaotian also said angrily .

Nu Xiu sneered and said: "The black prison is like this. There are so many unfair things. Even if we know that the woman is maliciously trying to rip off customers, we can only endure it and cause trouble here, but there will be big consequences." It’s troublesome, and given our current situation, it’s best to keep a low profile and be restrained.”
