Chapter 262 Abnormal transactions in the black market

After staring at the tombstone for a while, his mind began to flash back to the scene of the fire.

Every frame flashed by would make his mind tingle, until he saw his mother and concubine being engulfed in the fire, his face was already pale, and his forehead was dripping with sweat.

He bowed in pain, his hands dug into the soil, his body trembling slightly.

But this time, apart from the physical and mental pain, there was nothing unusual about it.

It took him a while to recover, and he turned around to see Su Jiuer looking at him nervously.

He forced a smile, reassuring.

"I'm fine"

Su Jiu'er didn't speak, just pursed her lips to see him take a long breath and gradually calm down.

The sky had also gradually darkened, presumably after a while, even the muddy and difficult road could not be seen clearly.

Yan Yunxiao looked at Yin Niangniang's tombstone, and said in a low voice.

"Concubine Mu, I brought Jiu'er to see you."

"Her name is Jiuer, Su Jiuer."

"She is the son's benefactor and lover."

Su Jiu'er listened silently, and fiddled with the hem of the clothes with her fingers uncomfortably.

"With her by his side, my son is doing well, so don't worry."

"I'm busy recently, I'm afraid I can't come. Later, my son will bring her to see you."

After saying that, Yan Yunxiao respectfully and solemnly kowtowed three times.

Seeing that he was busy with all this, Su Jiu'er got up and dragged her back without looking back.

"Let's go."

Staying for a moment will only make the nostalgia in his heart heavier.

Su Jiuer staggered a few steps before following him.

Just as she was walking steadily, Yan Yunxiao suddenly stopped, then turned around and hugged Su Jiu'er.

Su Jiu'er wasn't ready, and the sky was getting dark. She couldn't see clearly, so she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Yan Yunxiao, what are you doing?"

He just said, "The road is not easy."

Only then did Su Jiu'er wrap her arms around his neck obediently, and let her carry her back to the carriage.

Yan Yunxiao carried her into the carriage, and said in a low voice, "Sleep for a while when you are tired, and I will call you when I arrive."

In the dim carriage, Su Jiuer nodded, and Yan Yunxiao leaned over and rubbed her face with his own.

Then he took out the folder from the car and lit the lantern in front of the car, driving all the way back.

Su Jiu'er leaned in the carriage and felt a little hungry, not sleepy, but lack of energy.

Not knowing where the carriage stopped, Yan Yunxiao came in and thought she was asleep, and hugged her easily.

Su Jiu'er didn't struggle either, she just squinted her eyes and muttered, "I haven't slept yet."

"Have you arrived at the palace yet?"

It feels a little fast.

Yan Yunxiao didn't speak, but carried her directly up to the second floor of Baixing Building under Xiaoer's cover.

The noise of guests in the building caused Su Jiuer to open her eyes. When she looked up, she met Song Xingshi who opened the door.

Song Xingshi was a little strange, he turned sideways to let Yan Yunxiao in, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you here all of a sudden?"

As he said that, he glanced at the distressed appearance of the two of them. The clothes were covered with mottled and dried mud. He even wondered if these two people really went out to fight in the field?

Yan Yunxiao put Su Jiu'er on the couch, smoothed her long hair, and said to Master Song Xing, "Bring me two sets of clean clothes."

Song Xingshi showed disdain, but obediently obeyed.

Half an hour later, Yan Yunxiao and Su Jiu'er had already cleaned up, and a table of delicious dishes was spread on the table in Linglong Pavilion, and the two of them had already eaten.

Song Xingshi knocked on the table and said, "If you come to me, you don't have anything to say to me?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Su Jiuer again.

He remembered that when he left last time, Yan Yunxiao let himself put her into a coma, making it clear that there seemed to be some conflict between the two of them.

Why are they so close again?

And Yan Yunxiao's considerate and gentle appearance, didn't he really change into another appearance?

He said, "Brother Yan, do you still recognize who I am?"

Yan Yunxiao chewed the food in his mouth slowly, gave him a look like a fool, and didn't answer.

Just from this look, Song Xingshi knew that he was Yan Yunxiao himself.

This look is exactly the same as when watching him fortune-telling.

He couldn't help but choked, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it awkwardly.

Then he set his gaze on Su Jiu'er for a long while.

In front of him, Su Jiu'er picked up a piece of meat and handed it to Yan Yunxiao's mouth.

Not seeing.

Song Xingshi stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, and muttered, "I didn't see it, I didn't see it."

Su Jiu'er couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

The originally stiff atmosphere suddenly became cheerful.

Yan Yunxiao took the napkin and wiped Su Jiu'er's lips. Seeing this, Song Xingshi guessed that Yan Yunxiao really had a heart for Su Jiuer, and he already regarded her as his own.

Then I saw Song Xingshi's face became serious.

"Stop making trouble, stop making trouble, and tell you something serious."

"New soldiers and horses have appeared in several cities and states that must pass through the northern border. They are all new faces, do you know?"

Yan Yunxiao said, "Zi Ling has already passed the news to me, he is Tang Xiao's soldier."

At the mention of this name, Song Xingshi's complexion couldn't help turning cold, and the warmth in his eyes was replaced by hatred.

"Their people are going to start doing it?"

Yan Yunxiao nodded, and analyzed the military secret report submitted by General Douhu and the map submitted by Ziling, and then roughly shared his guess with Song Xingshi.

His face became serious in an instant, and he couldn't help but raise his voice, "There is another war in northern Xinjiang? What kind of war is it?"

Didn't hear the slightest bit of wind, how does it look like a war is going to start?

Even if the two sides start a war, there must be some rumors, which is a bit too abnormal.

But there is no need for General Zhanye to lie to their own people. There must be something that really hindered him, preventing them from getting out and coming to the imperial capital.

Regarding this point, Yan Yunxiao also felt very strange, but now that he has lost contact with Beijiang, the truth is not so easy to find out.

Song Xingshi frowned and thought for a while, then remembered another thing.

Although there is not much connection, this thing is still a bit strange.

He said, "There has been a large number of slave sales in the black market recently."

Yan Yunxiao frowned slightly, waiting for him to continue.

"Such things used to be common in the black market, but recently they are too frequent, so I carefully checked the transaction volume in recent months, and found that the number of people was as high as [-]."

After a pause, he continued, "Most of them are female slaves."

Su Jiu'er's face wrinkled into a jujube when she heard such a deal.

This is illegal in the modern world.

She just felt chills when she heard it, and suddenly thought, will she also be trafficked one day?
Yan Yunxiao noticed her strangeness, so he sat beside her, and wrapped her waist with one hand to comfort her.

Song Xingshi cleared his throat, and said again, "The supply of goods can be found in various places, but the direction of flow is almost all to the northwest."
