Sun Zaoli
"We sell materials. All kinds of low-end materials are very cheap~! Don't miss it if you pass by~~!"
Sun Zaoli was sitting cross-legged in the most inconspicuous corner of the square market with a timid expression. He was covered in gray hair and face, setting up a small stall and shouting silently.
There are no guards to maintain order in Blackwater City, and everyone relies on their fists to speak.
In the square market in Blackwater City, the best seats are occupied by vendors affiliated with powerful gangs. He could only hide in a small corner of the market, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible and avoid causing trouble.
He has no backing, and any gangster of any power in Blackwater City would dare to bully him.
Sun Zaoli looked sad, his eyes full of confusion.
His small stall is full of high-level materials. The most expensive ones are worth dozens of Yuan stones at most, and the total is probably only a few hundred Yuan stones. The profit is extremely low, at most you can earn about ten yuan stones.
He could live on the streets and save money on rent. But you still have to eat and drink, and any food in Blackwater City costs several yuan stones.
When these materials are sold out and the Yuanshi is spent, he doesn't know what to do next!
With his strength, living in Blackwater City is very difficult. If you go out of the city, it is extremely dangerous outside the city, and there is only one way to die.
…
"Sun Zaoli!?"
Ye Fan passed by near the corner of the market and was a little unsure when he saw Sun Zaoli.
That year, he said goodbye in Canglan Country and saw Sun Zaoli and others for the last time. At this moment, after more than ten years, I saw Sun Zaoli again in the market of Heishui City. Moreover, his appearance has changed a lot, he looks haggard and vicissitudes of life, and he seems to be much older.
Sun Zaoli suddenly heard a voice calling his name and was shocked.
The voice was vaguely familiar, as if I had heard it more than ten years ago.
But how could anyone in Blackwater City know him? How could that vaguely familiar voice appear in Blackwater City? !
Hallucination, this must be an hallucination!
Sun Zaoli didn't dare to look up, for fear that after being full of hope, he would be deeply disappointed.
The steps stopped in front of his stall.
"Ye~...Ye Fan! Is it really you?"
Sun Zaoli was stunned for a moment, trembled, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and finally looked up. When he saw it was Mark, his face showed a look of sadness or joy, and he almost trembled.
"Zauri, why are you here? If you are here, then the others should also be near Blackwater City. Where are they?"
Ye Fan was also very surprised, suddenly recalling a major event in the past.
That year, there was a palace coup in Canglan Kingdom. After the king Ling Feizhuo successfully seized power from the regent Ling Jiaojiao, he immediately removed all the people from Ling Jiaojiao's faction, including "two kings of Wu, three hundred marquis Wu, The elites of the Canglan Kingdom, including "Five Thousand Honorable Men", were all dispatched to the Zhongzhou battlefield.
Ling Feizhuo almost destroyed half of the Canglan Kingdom.
After he returned to Canglan Kingdom and discovered this situation, he was so angry that he forced Ling Feizhuo to jump off the building and into the sea to commit suicide. But the big mistake was irreversible. This large group of Canglan Kingdom's elites all came to Zhongzhou.
Since Sun Zaoli appeared in Blackwater City, everyone else should also be in the nearby area.
Mu Bing, Qin Yuer, Cao Youwen, Jiang Youxi, Ao Lie...Hao Ziming, King Bian Herong, King Wu Wu of Jin Xinwei, these hundreds of Wuhou, Wuzun, and even King Wu were all the ones he was most familiar with in Canglan Kingdom and Luyang Mansion. People, a large group of subordinates from Canglan Country's elite corps.
These people include his former training and study partners, the officials and generals who worked together in Canglan, the cronies of the army he trained, and the generals and soldiers who followed him to fight in the Lieyang Mountains.
"They...all of them..."
When Sun Zaoli talked about the crowd, he almost burst into tears and did not dare to look at Mark Ye Fan.
"What happened to everything?"
Mark's eyes became extremely sharp. It was impossible for so many people to be in trouble.
After a long while, Sun Zaoli calmed down and finally slowly told what had happened over the past few years.
"That year, a special envoy from the Zixuan Dynasty came to the Canglan Kingdom and requested to recruit a group of troops to Zhongzhou. The king, Ling Feizhuo, seized the opportunity and sent all of us to the Zixuan Dynasty.
We originally thought that the emperor sent us to the Zhongzhou battlefield to fight, and we did not resist fiercely.
However, we later learned how vicious Ling Feizhuo was. He was afraid that we would return to the Canglan Kingdom one day, so he actually spent a lot of money to bribe the officials of the Zixuan Dynasty, trying to find ways to prevent us from returning.
The officials first found reasons to dispatch the two kings of Wu, Bian Herong and Jin Xinwei, to other places to prevent them from doing bad things.
Then, we secretly sold our remaining Wuhou and Wuzun to a dangerous mine near Blackwater Bay. They have King Wu with them, and we, the group of people, are completely powerless to resist.
I was lucky. Before I entered the mines, I fell seriously ill and contracted malignant dysentery. The mine was afraid that I would infect others, so they threw me directly in Blackwater City and didn't let me follow me into the mine. Later, I stayed in Blackwater City to recuperate, and stayed here for nearly a year or two! "
Sun Zaoli told Mark one by one about the major events that had happened in the past few years.
Ye Fan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that they were not dead, but were sent to the mine, but he still felt extremely uncomfortable, "It's all me who has caused you trouble!"
In order to seize power from Ling Jiaojiao, Ling Feizhuo eradicated all her faction.
But almost all the people in her faction were brought out by him. In fact, they were a group of people, courtiers, local officials, and elite soldiers who were very close to him.
If it weren't for him, they wouldn't have joined Ling Jiaojiao's faction and been implicated.
He was very angry, but Ling Feizhuo had already fallen into the sea and died, and there was nothing he could do to make him die again.
"Which mine did they go into?"
Ye Fan immediately asked. The top priority was to rescue everyone and not let them continue to stay in the mine. In a place like a mine, someone could die at any time.
"Candle Dragon Mine!"
Sun Zaoli has been in Blackwater City for the past two years and is familiar with the situation here. "I didn't know what kind of mine it was at first. Later I found out that it was the Zhulong Mine under the name of the Butcher Gang. Now they almost all dig in the Zhulong Mine." Mine. That mine is famously bad in Blackwater Bay. It is the most dangerous mine. People die every day. They always enter alive and exit dead! Since they entered the mine, I have never seen them come out! "
"The Butcher Gang! Candle Dragon Mine!"
Ye Fan's face couldn't help but darken.
In such a short time since I came to Blackwater Bay, I have heard the words Butcher Gang and Candle Dragon Mine several times.
The Ghost Queen said that she would prepare to unite all forces near Blackwater Bay to force the Butcher Gang to hand over the Candle Dragon Mine and excavate the ancient ruins of the Candle Dragon Cave.
The thin man Alu met at the gate of the city was a subordinate of the Butcher Gang.
After unexpectedly meeting Sun Zaoli at the market, he learned that a large group of people from the Canglan Kingdom had been sent to the Zhulong Mine of the Butcher Gang.
It seemed like there was no way around this butcher gang.
"I'm going to find people from the Butcher Gang and try to rescue everyone! I rented a wing at the Blackwater Inn in the city. I came to this market to find some materials, but I haven't found any. Please help me. Find this material in the market, and after you find it, go to the big inn and wait for my news!"
Ye Fan said in a deep voice and casually handed Sun Zaoli a piece of Yuan Stone.
Sun Zaoli almost cried as he took the heavy bag of primeval stones.
He knew the price of the material that Ye Fan was looking for. Although it was relatively rare, it was not very expensive. There are thousands of yuan stones, let alone buying one material, even buying ten copies is far enough. This was obviously because Mark didn't want him to lose face, so he found an excuse to give him more yuan stones.
"Um!"
Sun Zaoli nodded, showing worry, "The Butcher Gang is the number one gang in Blackwater Bay and is extremely powerful. The gang leader is a terrifying Martial King. There are many Martial King in the gang, and they are domineering and unreasonable. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with them!"
"You don't need to worry about this, I will figure it out!"
