Chapter 47 "No, I want Chu Hanxiao!"
Luo Shuangxi brought Xie Qinghuan and Chu Hanxiao.
The three of them went through many twists and turns and entered a shop.
I saw Luo Shuangxi whispering something to the shopkeeper.
He then gave the man three copper coins.
The man hurriedly took them to the backyard.
Unexpected...
The curtain was lifted;
Don't be fooled!
The three of them entered a secret passage.
It was pitch black, and Xie Qinghuan was a little scared...
He gently grabbed Chu Hanxiao's sleeves with both hands.
Seeing this, Chu Hanxiao curled his lips slightly.
He raised his hand and held her fair little hand in his own big hand.
Xie Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, looking at the hands held together stupidly...
Happy as a flower.
Under the guidance of the shopkeeper, the three of them quickly got out of the maze-like secret passage.
Entered the dark underground black market.
Every stall here has a small light on, and except for being a little mysterious, it is no different from the market outside.
There are a wide variety of small commodities, each one is different.
She ran happily to a stall selling hairpins and rings and started picking and choosing.
The stall owner stood up and introduced her attentively:
"Miss, look, every hairpin and bracelet here has a hidden secret!"
He picked up a bracelet and demonstrated it.
"Look, just by bending it like this, the small blade hidden inside pops out!"
"Oh!"
Xie Qinghuan's eyes lit up.
He looked around and his sight fell on a jade crown.
"This? What's so special about this?"
The stall owner chuckled, shook his head and praised.
"Miss, you really have a keen eye! You can recognize a top-quality product at a glance!"
He held up the gold and jade-inlaid men's hair crown in both hands and presented it to Xie Qinghuan.
"Miss, you may not know that this jade crown is from the former Eastern Liao Dynasty. It is said that the Hetian stone on it is priceless..."
Before he could finish blowing it, Luo Shuangxi snatched it away.
"So, you don't have any magical powers?
Or is it something from Dong Liao that can’t be sold in jewelry stores, so it ended up in your hands?”
The stall owner was stunned and smiled embarrassedly.
"This young master is really sharp in his words..."
But Xie Qinghuan liked it, so she took it with both hands and looked through it.
"how much is it?"
"five hundred……"
The stall owner was about to ask for a sky-high price, but when he saw Luo Shuangxi behind her, he backed off.
"Miss, if you like it, just give me fifty taels!"
"Only fifty taels?"
Xie Qinghuan was very happy and turned around to ask Chu Hanxiao for money.
"Look, how well this suits you?"
Chu Hanxiao was stunned and asked back:
【I? 】
"Yes! Look, how beautiful it is!"
Pointing to Chu Hanxiao's head.
Chu Hanxiao softened his gaze and lowered his head slightly.
So she doesn't have to stand on tiptoe and feel tired.
Then I heard her praise with satisfaction.
"Good-looking! So beautiful!"
His ears and temples turned slightly red.
Luo Shuangxi made fun of him.
"Little sister, you are too proactive! This is not good, not good..."
"I just like it! Humph!"
Xie Qinghuan became angry and turned away.
Chu Hanxiao stayed in front of the stall and casually took out a ten-liang silver ingot.
I threw it to the stall owner, and his smile froze on his face.
"Hey? Sir, fifty taels..."
Chu Hanxiao glared at him angrily.
He reached back and picked up a silver hairpin that could hold a knife.
Turned around and left.
"Hey? Hey!"
The stall owner sighed and stamped his feet angrily.
Xie Qinghuan turned around and called him.
"Chu Hanxiao! Come quickly! There are small fish here!"
Chu Hanxiao took two quick steps.
Accompany her to wander around the stalls.
Xie Qinghuan walked and jumped, holding his hand all the time.
Slurping on the sweet cake, she tilted her head and smiled.
"Chu Hanxiao, I like it here so much! No one recognizes us, and we can always walk hand in hand..."
Chu Hanxiao said nothing, with a smile in his eyes.
But it was mixed with a vague sense of uneasiness.
This place...
He has been here.
No, to be precise, it is...
Escaped before.
After accompanying Xie Qinghuan on a journey of shopping and eating, Luo Shuangxi finally remembered to get down to business.
The sign beside him was a nightmare that Chu Hanxiao would never want to recall in his lifetime—
Black market, Colosseum.
"It's right here. The medicinal herbs you want have been seen by people here."
Luo Shuangxi talked to the guard for a few words, and then several people were taken into the inner field.
Through the curtain, you can faintly hear the tiger's roar and the audience's cheers.
Xie Qinghuan held Chu Hanxiao's big hand tightly, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
Isn't it the same for Chu Hanxiao?
But he still held Xie Qinghuan's hand and his eyes gave her courage.
Several people waited for a short time.
The owner of the Colosseum came to see him.
Luo Shuangxi bowed to him.
"Master Qi, I have long heard of your great name."
"General Luo, I really don't dare. Please sit here."
Several people took their seats.
Luo Shuangxi stated his purpose.
"To be honest, Master Qi, I am here for my little sister. She is looking for a medicinal herb called 'Sea Ganoderma'..."
The host paused, then looked at Xie Qinghuan, and then stopped his gaze on Chu Hanxiao.
He kept looking at her with a suspicious look on his face.
Xie Qinghuan pulled the person behind him out of protection.
Looking at him with hostility.
Qi Chuan smiled and explained:
"Young General, you don't know that the medicine has been bought by someone today! He said he wanted to feed it to the tiger. I really..."
Luo Shuangxi narrowed his eyes and smiled:
"Master Qi, please don't rush to refuse. Why don't you sit down and talk?"
"Yes, yes... you said it."
Luo Shuangxi pondered for a moment.
"Since this medicine is to be used to feed tigers, then according to the rules of the Colosseum, if we can defeat your tiger king, this medicine... will be useless?"
Qi Chuan was startled, and subconsciously sneered:
"Impossible! General Luo, please don't joke around. My Tiger King has fought hundreds of battles without a single defeat. How could he lose?"
Luo Shuangxi smiled with confidence.
"How can we know who wins or loses if we don't compete?"
Qi Chuan's eyes deepened and he nodded in response.
"Okay, if General Luo can break my reputation as the Tiger King, I will not only offer the Sea Ganoderma to you, but also add another 500 taels of silver. How do you think?"
"make a deal!"
A hammer is fixed.
Luo Shuangxi took Xie Qinghuan to the private room with the best view in the whole venue to watch the fight between man and tiger.
The Tiger King really lived up to his reputation.
All five men who came down were torn to pieces by the powerful golden tiger in less than a second.
Xie Qinghuan nervously grabbed her skirt.
"Second brother, you didn't bring anyone with you! How can you take the medicine from him?"
Luo Shuangxi smiled calmly and glanced at Chu Hanxiao behind her.
"Didn't you bring someone with you?"
"What? You... no no no!"
Isn't this going to cost Chu Hanxiao his life?
Luo Shuangxi didn't care and whispered to her:
"Little sister, listen to me. You can't be too nice to a man. You have to learn how to make him sacrifice for you!"
"What? No! Besides... I found this medicine book for him!
If I put him in danger just to get the medicine, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse? No way!"
Xie Qinghuan held Chu Hanxiao's hand tightly and protected him behind him.
It was as if she was afraid that Luo Shuangxi would snatch it from her.
Luo Shuangxi made fun of him.
"Little sister, don't be so useless, you are just a man. How many do you want? Come with me to the military camp to pick them!"
"No, I want Chu Hanxiao!"
She burst into tears and pulled Chu Hanxiao away.
"I don't want this sea ganoderma!"
But Chu Hanxiao didn't move.
He held Xie Qinghuan's shoulders with a sincere look in his eyes.
[I can, believe me.]
"no!"
At this moment, the announcement was made in the venue:
"Today, someone dared to challenge the Tiger King alone..."
Xie Qinghuan held him tighter.
"No! I won't let you go!"
