Chapter 1668 The Real Black Market
Shu and Yu discreetly surveyed their surroundings. What was called a secret room was actually a large underground palace.
The interior is not only magnificently decorated, but its depth is also beyond imagination; looking out, you have no idea where it ends.
The others merely glanced at the arrival of the three of them before going about their own business.
A group of people were drinking, betting, and playing drinking games on the side, while many young and beautiful girls were serving them, making it a very lively scene.
The bandit next to him whispered, "This area is the outer perimeter, where we guys relax and have fun. Further in, it's where the customers who come to the black market usually go. But now the black market is closed, and no customers come. That area is used by the new brothers who gathered here recently. These past two days, these guys have been following the boss to cause trouble in the next county, so it's been vacated again."
So there aren't many people there.
"As for Jiang Kuanyu, whom you mentioned, he is in charge, and his residence is further inside."
Meng Yunzheng nodded, "Take us over there to take a look."
The bandit opened his mouth, thinking that bringing the man here was enough, but he didn't expect these two to drain him dry.
He snorted inwardly, thinking that once he got the antidote, he would definitely lead his brothers to kill that scoundrel.
No, the man was tortured to death, but the woman was quite attractive and could be placed in this black market for customers to enjoy.
The bandit was making plans in his mind when he was kicked in the leg. "Aren't you going to lead the way?"
"knew."
The three of them passed through the outer perimeter, where the bandits were left behind, and there weren't actually many of them.
Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu were lucky; they arrived just as a large number of bandits were heading to the neighboring county.
They soon arrived at the heart of the black market, a place for entertaining guests, much larger and deeper than the outer perimeter they had just been in.
Moreover, it seems that each venue is different; there are casinos, brothels, places for trading, and... dueling arenas.
Shu Yu even heard the roars of wild beasts. The bandit spoke of this with a hint of pride, "We have tigers, wolves, bears, and giant pythons locked up here. When the duel begins, they'll find two people to stand up against them. The winner gets a sum of money, and the loser is left with their life, to be devoured by the wild beasts. The most exciting part is when women confront those wild beasts. Tsk tsk, watching them tremble on the stage being torn apart, that's why those high-ranking officials and nobles are willing to spend so much money..."
"That's enough." Shu Yu frowned, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
The bandit curled his lip; women were truly cowards. He knew the black market's dueling arena was the most bustling and lively place here.
Meng Yunzheng's face darkened. "Lead the way."
The bandits had no choice but to keep moving forward, but after walking for a short while, Shu Yu suddenly heard wailing and screaming coming from the left.
What's over there?
The bandit looked in the direction she was pointing, his gaze shifting slightly. "Aren't you in a hurry to save people? Why are you meddling in other things?"
"Just answer my questions."
The bandit said lazily, "There are people locked up over there: rich young men we kidnapped from Chenggu County, some traitors, and disobedient girls."
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged a glance. So many people were locked up?
"Let's go take a look," Meng Yunzheng gestured to the bandits.
The latter frowned, "Don't meddle in other people's business. Hurry up and save the person and leave, otherwise..."
