Chapter 163: Despicable Man
What Zi Hongyi did was very simple, that is, she used her occult power to help Xiaomei digest it, and Xiaomei didn't feel much pain.
"Alright, let's rest!"
Now everyone's cultivation and rest, it's still late at night, and it's better not to be disturbed or disturbed.
Xiaomei felt that her stomach didn't hurt anymore, so she gently agreed and rested smoothly.
Time flashed for three days, and life in the carriage was the same, either cultivation, or rest, and then eat some lantern fruits, and nothing else.
Morrowind didn't know what was going on, since he hadn't woken up yet.
"Mother, why did my eldest brother sleep for so long?"
Xiaomei, who had not cultivated, sat in the middle of the front and asked her mother, Shuiping, who also had no cultivation.
"Big brother may be too tired and will wake up in a short time. ”
Shui Ping replied that this was also the seventh, eighth, ninety, and thirtieth time she had said this in the past three days.
"My lord, the city ahead is almost here. Xiao Wu's voice came through the crack in the open door in front of the carriage.
Ahead is the third city on the way to Yaocheng, called Youfang City, Youfang City is different from the second city they bypassed before, there is no road outside to bypass, if you want to enter this city, you can either walk from the city, or you can only walk in the mountains and forests.
So in advance, Zi Hongyi notified Xiao Wu to inform her when he arrived in You Fang City.
"Okay, let's go inside!" Purple Red replied.
"Okay~Okay!" Xiao Wu's voice was a little wandering, it seemed that he wanted to say something, but he didn't have the courage to say it.
The carriage continued to move forward, and the gate of Youfang City was imminent, Xiao Wu put his hand into his arms with some grievances, and took out a bulging bag very reluctantly.
When I opened it, it was full of coins, and there were at least more than 100 of them.
"Stop, pay the city fee, six Xuan Yuan per person!" As soon as the carriage drove to the city gate, the four guards at the city gate stopped the carriage and said.
"What?" Xiao Wu showed a surprised expression, he thought he had heard that there were six Xuan coins per person, no mistake.
Indeed, the closer the city is to the big city, the higher the entrance fee is, and the big city is even more so.
But they are still far away from Yaocheng, according to Yaocheng, this is still a remote place, at most, it may be about three Xuan coins per person's entry fee, how can it be as high as six Xuan coins per person?
Isn't that doubled?
"Hurry up, you heard me right, six coins per person, how many people are in the car?" said one of the four guards impatiently, because there were still people behind him who wanted to approach the city gate, and they were blocking the city gate like this.
Xiao Wu looked at his money bag with a blank eye, if this is six Xuan coins per person, the people in this carriage plus himself are a total of twelve people, this is seventy-two Xuan coins!
He didn't plan to make money or anything when he came out with his uncle, and he didn't even think about revenge, but if he wanted to come to the city every time, not to mention that this might be the last time, how would he live when he arrived in Yaocheng in the future!
Xiao Wu knew the purpose of his life on this road, and when he arrived in Yaocheng, he might not be of any use, either he would be killed by the two people in Shuicheng, that is, Shui Jingyun and Shui Wuxin, who had the right to decide, or he would be abandoned.
Although it wasn't a long journey, he was more inclined to the latter's answer, because those people in Shuicheng weren't very cruel, and most of them were left useless.
What could he do at that time, with his cultivation, there may not be anyone to take him in as a shopkeeper in Yaocheng, how can he survive without Xuan Yuan......
"Hurry up, what's the rambling?"
Xiao Wu's afterthought made several guards blocking the road in front of him anxious, and three of them urged at the same time.
"Forget it, I'll go up and check how many people there are!" The fourth guard was more direct, and he was going to get into the carriage and take a look.
Listening to the noisy sounds outside, as well as the sound of wanting to break into the carriage, Zihongyi said directly and domineeringly in the carriage: "Don't worry about him, pay any entrance fee to the city, and walk over directly." ”
She never taught the entrance fee again.
"You dare!"
As soon as the four guards heard that the people in the carriage were going to break into the city, the men who were about to leave the carriage immediately retreated, and together with the other three took up a defensive posture.
As soon as Xiao Wu heard Lord Zi's words, he immediately happily put away his money bag, set up the horse rope, and prepared to rush over.
He didn't worry that the carriage would be stopped by these four guards, or that the horse would be injured by these four guards, because Lord Purple's strength was not comparable to these scum.
Besides, he doesn't have to give out the coins.
"I advise you to get out of the way!"
This time, Xiao Wu came to urge the four guards, but it seemed to be a kind reminder, but the words were inevitably rampant.
It's just that although Xiao Wu is arrogant, he is a little timid, he is afraid that what if he rushes out and kills the four guards blocking in front of him?
There was a bit of a stalemate for a while.
I don't know what day it is today, it's very lively, even at the gate of the city, because the guard's words were a little noisy just now, and instantly attracted a group of people to watch.
"What's going on, how could anyone dare to confront the guards today?" asked a seemingly honest man who was at the back of the crowd and asked the people around him.
"We just heard voices gathering, and we don't know what happened?" replied to a young man who seemed to be sluggish.
"I know, I know!"
At this time, a thin teenager squeezed out of the pile of people in front of him, and the young man said casually with a ** face.
"What do you know?" asked a woman next to her.
Ma Wazi did not speak, but spread out her hands.
"Ma Wazi, it's not a good thing that you're too greedy!" the honest man suggested.
Ma Wazi doesn't care, he still spreads his hands, he eats with these skills.
"Come on, come on, I'll pay for it today," the sluggish young man took out a big bag from his arms, but only threw Ma Wazi a coin, and said, "Come, let's talk about it!"
Ma Wazi took the coin, and put it into his arms, and some other people saw that someone had paid the coin to Ma Wazi, and they all turned their heads to look at it.
It seems that most of these people know Ma Wazi!
Ma Wazi picked up the money and didn't delay, and said bluntly: "I heard that this carriage is going to enter the city gate, and the guards let me call the entrance fee, and the carriage will not pay, and it will break in, that's all." ”
"Yes, the entrance fee to the city is quite high every year today. One person sighed that every year today is a special day in Youfang City, and it is also the day with the highest entry fee to enter the city.
"Yes, very few people choose to go in and out of the city on this day of the year. Another person next to him also sighed.
"But looking at the appearance of this carriage, it doesn't look like a person who can't take out a few coins?" the sluggish young man wondered.
The carriages that are popular with green horses are also rare in Youbian City, mainly because they can't afford to use them, but because Qingju popular horses are also quite rare in Youbian City, and there are dozens of carriages.
No one who can have a horse-drawn carriage with a green horse or a horse will care about this entrance fee.
"The entrance fee to the city is indeed a little higher, in previous years it was only four, and this year it will be six all at once, but this point of Xuan Yuan is not the main reason. Ma Wazi answered, and he had to answer the question for the money he paid.
"What's the reason for that?" the people next to him all looked suspicious.
Ma Wazi didn't lose anyone's appetite, looked at the person who asked him and said: "The reason is because there is a guard who plans to get into the carriage, and the person in the carriage has spoken, saying that he doesn't need to pay the Xuan coin, and he will go directly." ”
"Hey, so crazy!" everyone was embarrassed, including the sluggish young man, if he didn't pay the entrance fee, he was not afraid to do anything against the guards, but on this day, he was a little ignorant.
"Hey, hey, he's crazy, he's crazy, we're going to have a good show anyway. ”
When everyone sighed a little when they got this answer, the seemingly honest man laughed obscenely.
"What's the show?" the crowd wondered.
The seemingly honest man didn't intend to answer easily, so he smiled vilely and wickedly.
"That's right!" Ma Wazi clapped his hands at this time.
"What's wrong?" everyone wondered.
Seeing Ma Wazi looking in one direction and clapping his hands, the seemingly honest man knew that Ma Wazi already knew, because of his so-called good show, the other character was there.
Ma Wazi stretched out his hand again, this news is different from what he just said, and he has to settle accounts separately.
When the sluggish young man saw it, he didn't get angry, so he planned to give him another Xuan coin, they all knew Ma Wazi.
But the seemingly honest man who knew the problem disagreed, and he also knew the news, why did Ma Wazi earn Xuan coins.
So just when the sluggish young man put his hand into the bag containing the coin, took out a coin, and was about to hand it to Ma Wazi, who also stretched out his hand and was about to take the coin.
The seemingly honest man exited at this time and said, "Because Old Man Dou's third granddaughter is here today to buy a birthday gift." ”
In a word, Ma Wazi withdrew his hand with a smile without anger.
What he just remembered was the news, but since the news had already been told by other people, he didn't have this news, and the money naturally couldn't be collected.
But Ma Wazi is not angry, this kind of thing is very common, and this news is also the direction he saw when he looked at the seemingly honest man's despicable smile.
So this news was originally even a seemingly honest man.
When the sluggish young man saw the coin handed to Ma Wazi, because of the words of the seemingly honest man, he withdrew his hand, and he didn't feel embarrassed to take back the coin.
Ma Wazi is a well-known person who sells news in Youbian City, and he is also a well-known credit-telling person, he pays on delivery, and when the goods are gone, he will definitely not charge a penny more.
The others didn't think anything of it, and the villain's heart of a seemingly honest man had nothing to do with them.
Listening to the words of the seemingly honest man, they understood the reason with the words of the seemingly honest man.
And then there's where this so-called good show comes from.
