A group of people entered Huangqiu City through the east gate. Although it was blocked by a high wall, there was still yellow sand passing through the city, but the cloak was unnecessary.

Inns, taverns, pharmacies, blacksmith shops, and other shops that usually appear in other towns are also available here, but there are few pedestrians on the road, and none of them are very friendly.

"Bosses, do you want to take a rest here, or go directly to kill the sand wolf?" Ma Bo was not only tall, but also had a rough voice when he asked.

"I don't care, it depends on what Dr. Lu wants." Chen Feifei replied.

Lu Ran looked around and said, "This place is really not a place to stay for a long time. We'd better get the Sand Wolf Gallbladder early and go back earlier."

"That's good! Come with me." After Ma Bo finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and headed towards a certain direction.

In this Huangqiu City, there were more than a dozen of them in a group, all of them carried weapons with them, so they didn't have to be afraid of someone coming to make trouble.There are death row prisoners and repeat offenders everywhere here, so it would be hard to say if a few people came here alone.

"Ma Bo!" Suddenly someone shouted from the side of the road.

Upon hearing the sound, Ma Bo immediately got off his horse and bowed to the man, "So it's Lord Lu!"

"What are you doing here today?" the man asked.

Chen Feifei also got off the horse with the others at this time, and saw that the man was in his forties, with a handsome face and a moderate figure.Four people followed behind that person, but those four people were all men with rough faces and sturdy bodies.

"The subordinates of the city lord of Huangqiu City rank eighth. You two young masters, be careful what you say, and you must not offend him." Liu Wu whispered in the ears of the two of them.

"Back to Ba Ye, we are ordered by the young castle master to come to the extremely evil desert to get some sand wolf guts." Ma Bo replied respectfully.

"Then do you know the rules here?" Master Lu asked.

"You know, I'm lucky. I met you, Ba Ye, here, and this is for you." Ma Bo took out a bag of money from his body, and handed it over carefully.

One of the big men behind that Mr. Lu came forward, took the bag of money from Ma Bo, and opened the bag.

Ba Ye Lu looked into the bag, then laughed and said: "You guys are generous, take it, I happen to have a piece here."

"Thank you Baye Lu!" Ma Bo took a wooden sign from the big man just now.

After bidding farewell to Lord Lu, the people mounted their horses again and continued on. This time Ma Bo brought them to a tavern.

On the way just now, Chen Feifan and Lu Ran learned a lot about Huangqiu City.Every year there are death row prisoners and felons assigned by the imperial court. It is said that they have never lived in the extremely evil desert, so Huangqiu City has become the only place where they can live.No one seems to know what the surname of the city lord here is, because everyone is used to calling him the lord of the city.It is said that he was sent by the imperial court to garrison here a long time ago. As time passed, the imperial court seemed to have forgotten that there was such a person. All they knew was that there was a city lord in Huangqiu City, who had the final say on everything in the city, very domineering.But he has never rebelled, and the court still needs him to guard the prisoners who come here, so he has no choice but to turn a blind eye.This city lord lives in the city within the city to the west of Huangqiu City. He has eight powerful subordinates who maintain the order here.

The wooden sign in Ma Bo's hand is actually a token. As for its function, Liu Wu smiled but did not answer, but said that he would know when he entered the tavern.

Let's talk about the wooden sign. On the way, Chen Feifei asked Ma Bo to play with it. It was actually an ordinary broken wooden sign.It was only half the size of a palm, and there were no glyphs. It was a square piece with a big red "eight" written on it.

Everyone got off their horses in front of the tavern. Ma Bo opened the door first and entered the tavern. There were quite a few people sitting inside at the moment, and they were not very good just because of their appearance and attire.

Chen Feifan still didn't know what he was doing here, so he saw Ma Bo took out the wooden token he got from Baye Lu just now, raised it in front of him, and said, "I have the token of Baye, who will come with me to the pole?" There is not much risk in the evil desert, just take a few galls to kill wolves, and when things are done, there will be wine money to give away."

It turned out that using this wooden sign could actually recruit people here, but what made Chen Feifei even more puzzled was that there were more than a dozen of them now, why did they need to recruit more people? Could it be that Sand Wolf is really that difficult to deal with?

When Ma Bo greeted them, more than a dozen people immediately surrounded them.

"So it's Brother Ma." One of the burly men pushed aside the crowd and walked over laughingly. This man had a ferocious face, wearing a rag that could barely cover his body, and a big scar was exposed on his chest.

Ma Bo was not afraid of him, instead he leaned towards him and asked, "Old Hu, how are you doing? Are you interested in this job?"

"How many Sand Wolf Gallbladders do you want?"

Ma Bo didn't know the answer, so he had to look back at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran said: "It depends on the situation, of course, the more the better."

"You guys know some martial arts, right?" the old Hu asked.

"All will." Marble nodded.

"Okay then, count us five!" Lao Hu immediately said.

"Okay!" Marble nodded with a smile, and then continued to shout loudly: "Is there anyone else?"

Anyway, they are recruiting people here, Ma Bo is more familiar with them, Chen Feifan and Lu Ran decided to go out to get some air, not wanting to stay in the filthy tavern any longer, Liu Wu also walked out with them.

After the three of them came out, Chen Feifei asked Liu Wu, "Why do you want to recruit people here? A dozen of us are not enough?"

Liu Wu stretched out two fingers and explained with a smile: "There are two reasons. The first reason is that there is an unwritten rule here. Anyone who is not going to the extremely evil desert to seek death must come here and tell the city lord that you What are you going to do in the Hell Desert? The second reason is that as long as we recruit more prisoners here, it will be safer to go to work in the Hell Desert. Just now we came here from Castle of Doom, and we can still vaguely discern the road on the ground. But if you go out from the south, north, and north gates of Huangqiu City, you can't see the road at all."

"All the prisoners in this tavern?" Chen Feifei asked.

"Almost all of them." Liu Wu paused, and added: "I have only been here a few times, and they should all be prisoners."

"Do you know that old Hu just now?" Lu Ran asked.

Liu Wu nodded: "Yes. Speaking of this old Hu, he can be regarded as a ruthless character. He plays double swords. I heard that he was quite famous when he was young. Then one day, he discovered that his wife had committed adultery with others. , so he immediately killed the adulterer and adulterer. He was also red-eyed, thinking that killing two people was not enough, and then went to kill the two families of the adulterer and adulterer separately, not sparing even the children. Killed more than 40 people. There were many people with good martial arts in the adulterer's family, but he killed them one by one. The court appreciated his martial arts and couldn't bear to kill him, so he was sent as a death row prisoner eight years ago Arrived here."

After hearing what Liu Wu said about Lao Hu, Lu Ran became more worried: "Go with these prisoners, will they have other plans?"

Liu Wu said with a smile: "Don't worry about that, they don't dare to be so presumptuous with Master Lu's badge. If you want to say who these prisoners are most afraid of, the only one they are afraid of is the city lord here. I don't know the reason, But I'm afraid of him."
