Chapter 1773: Chapter 1773 Yongxia City

Hearing his words, Lin Caisang took a deep breath and looked at Zimo, asking.

She knew about Zhe Jue’s capabilities, but was that all he could find out in the black market of Lotus Commandery?

And in the end, they had to rely on guessing?

"The black market isn’t just ’mysterious’ in simplicity, Sang’er. If the people of the black market were loose-lipped, they couldn’t establish themselves in Lotus Commandery," Zimo explained.

"Indeed, Miss Lin."

Zhe Jue quickly chimed in, supporting his lord’s statement.

"You should know, even Su Wan wouldn’t dare to meddle with Lotus Commandery’s black market."

Su Wan used to be like a local tyrant in Lotus Commandery, almost like an emperor, having even stripped the magistrate of his powers.

Even so, he dared not meddle with the black market.

"So what do we do now? Are we really going to leave it to chance? Should we head to Yongxia City or Tiancheng first?"

Lin Caisang inquired.

"Yongxia City."

Zimo responded to her without hesitation.

"Why?"

Lin Caisang countered, asking why he made the choice for Yongxia City without even thinking.

"Tiancheng is in Man Kingdom, and it is a relatively prosperous commandery, while Yongxia City is a city of the lower classes in Man Kingdom, filled with many refugees," said Zimo.

"Then shouldn’t we go to Tiancheng?" Lin Caisang furrowed her brow and asked.

If as Brother Molian said, the people who could afford slaves would be in Tiancheng, and the slave markets should be positioned there too, right?

But then she thought again, and it didn’t seem to be so.

In a place like Yongxia City, with more displaced persons, slave markets operating there would bring good business.

Moreover, if Yongxia City wasn’t far from Tiancheng, the people of Tiancheng could easily send someone to Yongxia City to buy slaves, which wouldn’t be much trouble at all.

So, was that why Brother Molian chose Yongxia City?

"I understand now. We’ll head to Yongxia City. When do we leave?"

"Tonight."

Zimo uttered the two words, then looked up at Zhe Jue.

Zhe Jue got the message and immediately nodded.

"I will arrange it right away."

Saying so, he turned and left.

Watching Zhe Jue’s departing figure, Lin Caisang, still puzzled, looked at Zimo.

"Why are we leaving tonight instead of now during the day? Isn’t it more... "

"People from Lotus Commandery can’t just go to Man Kingdom as they wish, even during the day the city gates are closed. To leave the city, one must have the approval from the magistrate’s office, although in recent years, this power has been seized by Su Wan," Zimo interrupted her, explaining.

"Of course, we could simply leave the city during the day, but we are currently traveling with your Death Exemption Token. Leaving in such a manner would surely reach the emperor’s ears.

Heading to Man Kingdom could get us accused of collusion with a foreign power, which would not be a wise decision.

Therefore, it’s better to sneak out."

"I see."

Lin Caisang understood then, sighing lightly.

This clarified things for her. It seemed that there truly was no interaction between Liang Kingdom and Man Kingdom, with even trade being so difficult.

"It’s not just Liang Kingdom; Man Kingdom doesn’t trade with any other country." As if seeing the thoughts in her heart, Zimo explained again.

"What? How is that possible?"
