Chapter 393: Fast and Slow
"Trouble. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lao Ma looked a little sad and said to Lu Chen, "This matter is a bit troublesome. β
Lu Chen sat on the ground, one hand casually stroked Ah Tu's head, Ah Tu also leaned his head on Lu Chen's thigh with a comfortable face, his two giant eyes were also half-squinted, and he occasionally hummed and grunted twice in his mouth, as if he was about to fall asleep.
Hearing Lao Ma's complaint, Lu Chen glanced up at him and said with a smile: "What's wrong?"
The old horse squatted down beside him, glanced at the huge black dog, and said, "You are also knowledgeable, don't let me talk nonsense." Let's go to Xiancheng to do things, it's best to keep a low profile, but if you have to bring Atu, it's really troublesome. β
"Roar!"
There was a low roar on the ground, and the momentum was violent, as if a fierce demon beast suddenly jumped out of this forest, which made the old horse startled. But when I looked closely, there was no movement around, and it was Ah Tu, who looked honest and stupid just now.
I saw that this giant dog, which was already taller and bigger than an adult man, had a fierce look in his eyes, staring at the old horse, and let out a low roar in his throat, but it looked like it was about to bite.
The snow-white fangs, including the ferocity in Ah Tu's eyes, made the old horse chuckle in his heart, and subconsciously took a step back.
But at this time, Lu Chen stretched out his hand from the side, slapped Ah Tu's head with a little smile, and scolded with a smile: "Don't come nonsense, Lao Ma and us are our own people." β
The fangs that had just been bared out were instantly retracted, and Ah Tu glared at the old horse, looking a little unwilling, but he still "hummed" and lay down beside Lu Chen.
Lao Ma breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but scold again: "Damn! Lao Tzu gave you so many meat and bones to eat back then, and you have forgotten all about this now!"
Lu Chen waved his hand and said to Lao Ma: "This matter may be a little troublesome, but please bother." It's not safe in the mountains around Xiancheng, and I don't feel at ease if I leave Atu alone. β
Lao Ma pondered for a moment and said to Lu Chen: "Actually, it's not difficult for us to bring Ah Tu into the city and find a bigger house to live in." I'm afraid that after a long time, Ah Tu will be bored that day and can't help it, so he runs out of the door and walks on the street, which will be troublesome. β
Lu Chen thought for a while, and suddenly asked Lao Ma: "Let's do things this time, we won't let us go out by ourselves in terms of money, right?"
Lao Ma immediately said: "Of course, no matter how we say it, we also help Fuyun Division to do things, at least they have to cover the expenses on weekdays, well, I have to grind with that Xue Hall Master when I go back, and see if she can give me more money, let me open a shop, a faΓ§ade or something, this is the business of our two brothers!"
In the end, Lao Ma rubbed his hands excitedly, it seemed that he still cared very much about doing business and opening a shop, even if he had repeatedly lost and lost countless losses on the road of business for more than ten years.
As a person who has experienced that period of time with Lao Ma, Lu Chen has a clear understanding of Lao Ma's experience and ability in this regard, but it is not his own money anyway, Lu Chen doesn't care about it, he just said to Lao Ma very seriously: "That's good, when you go to ask for money, ask for more for Ah Tu...... Uh, a generous portion of ration money. β
The old horse was stunned for a moment and said, "A large portion of ration money, what is this for?"
Lu Chen touched the smooth fur on Atu's back, patted its belly again, smiled, and said, "This dog is different from ordinary dogs, you believe me, as long as there is enough delicious food, I guarantee that it will be too lazy to go out!"
Lao Ma looked at Ah Tu with some astonishment, couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said, "There is such a thing, I said that you are a dog or a pig......

Two days later, a very large carriage large enough to seat four or five people came to a silent halt outside the woods, and the driver of the carriage was a thin, thin, young old man, about fifty years old, who came without saying a word, and then sat on the carriage and waited in silence.
After a while, Lao Ma, Lu Chen, and Ah Tu walked out of the forest and got into the carriage. From beginning to end, the old coachman looked ahead, not glancing at them, as if completely oblivious to what was happening behind him.
It wasn't until the sound of the old horse closing the carriage door that he seemed to wake up suddenly, and he didn't look back, but picked up the whip in his hand.
The carriage is very spacious and clean, and once the doors are closed, it is as if it is separated from the outside world. A small window is opened on both sides of the car, but at the same time, curtains are installed so that people in the car can see the scenery outside the car, but people outside the car can't see the situation inside the car clearly, which is very convenient.
After entering the carriage, perhaps Lu Chen had already explained in advance, Ah Tu was honestly lying on the wooden plank, and Lu Chen and Lao Ma were sitting opposite each other.
The carriage was spacious enough, and they sat quite comfortably, listening to the sound of wheels rolling all the way, gradually from the quiet mountains to the road, and then as they gradually approached the huge and prosperous fairy city, there began to be more and more people around the carriage, and there were all kinds of sounds.
Listening to the various sounds that sounded outside the car from time to time, Lu Chen suddenly spoke: "Where are we going?"
Lao Ma said: "Hall Master Xue has already arranged it, and found a fairly spacious house for us through a secret way, which will not be eye-catching, let's go over and live first, and then act slowly." β
"Hmm. Lu Chen nodded and said, "After all, this Immortal City is the territory of the True Immortal Alliance, so it is convenient to do things, and the speed is much faster than other places." β
The old horse glanced at him, but shook his head and said, "You are wrong." β
"Huh?" Lu Chen was slightly surprised and said, "What do you say?"
Lao Ma glanced out the window through the curtain and said, "You rarely come here, even if you come here once in a while, because of your secret identity, you won't have contact with the people in the True Immortal Alliance here, so you don't know much about the current situation." Now in this immortal city, the True Immortal League is full of people floating in things, in the immortal city, large and small, there are countless redundant and redundant officials, and a large number of Bodhisattvas are worshiped to do a simple thing, so that people can break their legs, and then accept bribes and collect money to do things can be seen everywhere. β
Speaking of this, Lao Ma smiled thoughtfully and said: "Normally, we have to build such a house through the ordinary way, and we don't stuff money, just do things in a serious way, let alone two days, at least two months will drag you down." β
Lu Chen's brows furrowed, and after a moment of silence, he said, "According to what you say, what if I go to do something and say that this matter is assigned by a dead bald head?
The old horse hesitated for a moment, seemed to ponder in his heart for a moment, and then said, "Well, with the prestige of the true monarch, maybe it can be ten days soon." β
Lu Chen couldn't help laughing and said, "The name of the dead bald head can only be ten days faster?"
Lao Ma also smiled and said: "It's almost, these things are too small and cumbersome, but there are rules to follow, you can't be a god true monarch to compare with the people below, it's not enough to be ashamed, so that's almost it." β
Lu Chen sighed and said, "Then why can it be so fast this time, it seems that Hall Master Xue seems to be different?"
"Yes, now in the Immortal Alliance, the Fuyun Division is sometimes like an outlier, and the degree of speed and command is far better than that of other halls, but because of this, our Blood Warbler Hall Master has also suffered a lot of criticism, and has been said to be all kinds of showy, arrogant, and flattering to the true monarch. However, that's what I think about this matter," he glanced up at Lu Chen, and said lightly: "People with blood on their hands will always move faster than those mediocre people, right?"
Lu Chen nodded and said, "You're right. β
