Chapter 255 Underground Black Market

The night is as dark as ink and the cold wind is howling.

Little Tangbao was held in the arms of the "secret guard" and climbed over the eaves and walls between the continuous roofs.

The wind blew past her ears, and her little hands unconsciously hugged the other person's neck tightly.

Suddenly, a familiar pine scent drifted into the little guy's nose.

Tang Bao suddenly loosened his arms around the other person's neck, tentatively touched the face covered with a black scarf with his little hands, and then angrily pushed out with his butt.

"Bad daddy!" Her voice was muffled, with a hint of tears in it. "Not only did he refuse to apologize to Tangbao's mother, he even learned to lie to Tangbao!"

Yun Che's heart tightened, fearing that the little fellow might accidentally fall and get hurt, so he quickly stopped.

Tang Bao's face wrinkled in a look of grievance, and he turned away and stopped looking at him.

Yun Che looked straight into his daughter's tearful eyes. Seeing the little girl's angry and aggrieved expression, his voice became a little hoarse:

"Good Tangbao, Daddy was wrong. Daddy shouldn't have said such bad things about your mother... Tangbao, please forgive Daddy, okay?"

Little Tangbao pouted, blinked his eyes, and tears fell.

“Then… then Daddy will accompany Tang Bao to the black market!” She turned to look at Yun Che, a sly glint in her eyes, “After we’re done with the black market, Tang Bao will forgive Daddy!”

Yun Che laughed and raised his hand to gently wipe away the tears on the little guy's face...

"Okay, whatever you say..." He paused, "After we finish our visit to the black market, Tang Bao will move back to the palace, okay?"

Without the little guy at home, the palace became cold and empty, which really made people feel suffocated!

…

Dungeon, black market.

On both sides of the narrow corridor, every ten feet or less, there was a lantern emitting a faint green light hanging, which made people's faces look as pale as ghosts.

The air was filled with an unpleasant smell of mold, the scent of cheap powder, and a faint smell of blood, which made the back of one's neck feel cold.

Tang Bao hugged his father's neck tightly, thinking that the ghost energy here is so strong...

Walking down the endless stone steps, the air became more damp and colder the further down I went.

After exiting the corridor full of stone steps, everyone's vision suddenly became wider.

Towering stone pillars support the dome, the fluorite on the walls glows faintly, low and dilapidated houses are crowded together, and although the streets are crowded, they are not noisy.

The vendors squatted in the shadows, not shouting or soliciting customers, but just looking at the passers-by with sinister eyes.

“Daddy, is this the black market?” Tang Bao clung to Yun Che’s shoulders, peering cautiously, his voice extremely low.

She struggled to get off the ground, and just as her toes touched the ground, her soft little hands suddenly clenched two of Yun Che's fingers, until the fingertips turned white.

Yun Che wrapped his hand around the little fellow's and gently held it, "Yes, this is the black market. Things that are not allowed to be traded on the ground can be found here..."

"Remember, don't run around, and don't touch anything here!"

Tang Bao nodded, looking around curiously with his big eyes.

This place is not like the Grass Market. There are no snacks sold here. Most people are selling bottles and jars, weapons and hidden weapons, and herbal pills...

Everyone spoke in low voices, just like classmates whispering in the classroom.

Tang Bao pointed at a strange jade Guanyin statue and was about to speak... but was suddenly pulled behind him by his father.

She hugged her father's legs and peeked out with one eye, and saw two ugly uncles with tattoos on their foreheads blocking her father with swords across their shoulders!

The little fellow was so frightened that he quickly hid his face... His hands, clutching his father's clothes, were shaking...

Daddy is so big, I wonder if Tang Bao can use the Speed ​​Spell to drag him away...

No, no, it’s okay!

If the Speed ​​Spell doesn't work, she can also use the Rebound Spell... Tang Bao is not afraid! Tang Bao is not afraid at all!

Woo…

Tang Bao is not afraid of pain, but Tang Bao is afraid of seeing the people he cares about get hurt and bleed...

While Xiao Tangbao was lost in his thoughts, two burly men stared at Yun Che intently...

Their grip on the hilt of the knife tightened and loosened, tightened and loosened again, and after looking at each other, they sighed and threw a piece of paper with a portrait on it to Yun Che.

"We know who you are, and we know you wouldn't come here alone!"

"Someone is trying to buy your daughter's life... We just want some money to get out of Beijing!"

Yun Che looked at the life-saving inscription with the portrait of Xiao Tangbao in his hand, his eyes bloodshot.

He casually threw out a silver ingot and looked at the two men fleeing in panic, with a terrifying cruelty surging in his sinister eyes.

"Go check... who is so audacious as to offer this bounty?!"

Anyone who dares to hire someone to kill his daughter... he will skin that person alive!

One of the secret guards who had hidden in the crowd immediately stepped forward, took the notice with a sullen face, and disappeared.

Tang Bao glanced at it and saw the five hundred taels of silver written on it. He was so angry that his eyes widened!

Is she only worth five hundred taels of silver?

She can earn thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silver just by drawing talismans in a day!

How can this be possible...

The most taboo thing in the black market is to show off your wealth. Suddenly, a small figure rushed out from the alley and bumped into Yun Che's legs.

It was hard to tell whether the child was a boy or a girl. He was about the same age as Tang Bao, but incredibly thin. His worn and ill-fitting clothes hung on him like a rag.

He looked up, his face, with gray and blue hair mixed together, was full of fear, and then he turned and ran.

"Daddy, he stole my Qiankun bag!" The little girl stared at the figure, picked up her skirt and chased after him.

There was a female ghost next to the child, and she wanted to see if the ghost was good or bad...

After turning three dark alleys, the scene before him made Tang Bao's eyes widen and his whole body tremble...

More than 20 children were crowded in a dilapidated shack, sharing a rotten carrot.

The oldest of them looked not much older than Brother Jinchuan, and the youngest seemed to have just learned to walk. They were all skinny and dirty.

Seeing someone coming, the children immediately formed a human wall and protected the child who stole Tang Bao's things behind them.

The oldest child even raised a half-rusted pair of scissors towards Tang Bao: "You are already very rich, what's wrong with helping us poor people?!"

He spoke with confidence, and little Tangbao secretly memorized his appearance.

Daddy’s people and the scumbag’s people are all looking for the incense burner. Maybe that scumbag is also on the black market now!

The little guy knew that he couldn't cause trouble for his father.

Seeing that the ghosts around her were not unforgivable, she pretended not to see them, calmly put away the Qiankun bag, turned around and left.

She had seen her mother save people with good intentions but end up in countless troubles... and even nearly get killed by those greedy people!

She wanted to help these kids, but not now!

She will not help everyone here unconditionally!

"Dad, let's go back!"

Tang Bao opened her arms, and Yun Che immediately picked her up.

As the group walked out, Xiao Tangbao seemed to see An Xueting again?

She shuddered and rubbed her eyes vigorously...

impossible!

How could An Xueting float there without touching the ground?

Tang Bao must have seen it wrong!
