Chapter 102: Mu Niang's Provincial Relatives (I)
That's right, seeing the title of this chapter, I think you readers (are there really still living people?) should already understand the story content of this chapter.
At the same time that Xu Mu and the others were seeing off Mo Qingfeng, after a long journey of more than a week, Qin Shuangtong finally arrived at his hometown, Langsha City.
Along the way, she didn't use the City Teleportation Array as a means of travel, first, because it was too expensive and unaffordable, and secondly, her father was definitely not at home at this point in time, even if it was fast, it was of little use. So although he was anxious and wanted to fly home immediately, Qin Shuangtong still maintained restraint and chose the conventional way - carriage.
"Huh-" Qin Shuangtong walked out of the carriage, stood behind the coachman and looked at the city wall that was gradually revealing its outline in the distance, and exhaled heavily, and the stone in his heart finally fell halfway.
"Master Wang, thank you for sending me here, this is the car money. Qin Shuangtong handed the travel expenses to the coachman and said with a smile.
"Ahh Why are there so many?" the old man Wang who was driving looked at the stack of Ruan Mei coins in his hand in surprise, "At least twice as much as I said before." β
"Hehe, master, you can accept it," Qin Shuangtong said seriously, "In order to speed up your speed, along the way, you have been deliberately picking those shortcuts that others dare not take - they are either rugged and difficult, or there are bandits infested, your old cultivation is not high, and it is a great risk to do so, so I thank you very much, this money is regarded as a little bit of my heart, I hope you don't shirk." Andβ" she paused, bowing solemnly to the old man, "I'm sorry to put you in danger just because I'm in a hurry." β
"Haha... Okay!" Old Man Wang laughed heartily twice, "Since you say so, little girl, then I will accept the money." Seeing that the other party was so solemn, he was not hypocritical, "Hehe, it's also ashamed, every time I meet a thief on the road, I rely on you to send it away, so in fact, I should thank you, otherwise I will have to explain this old bone~!"
"Where, if you take the avenue, you won't meet those dirty people," Qin Shuangtong waved his hand, turned over and jumped down, and then moved side by side at the same speed as the carriage, "Then uncle, let's separate here, and I'll just walk the rest by myself." β
"Hey, but what about a dozen miles away?" said the old man in surprise, "Is it really not necessary for me to continue to deliver?"
"Don't worry, at this distance, I'm much faster than a horse. Qin Shuangtong said confidently.
"Haha, okay," the old coachman nodded, "Then I wish you a smooth journey-if you need it in the future, you will definitely come to me~!
"Well, I know," Qin Shuangtong gave him a thumbs up, "I inquired when I was transferring at the provincial border, and everyone said that you are experienced, even if you are in the desert Gobi, you dare to break through, so you are known as the 'Gobi Old King', so I specially chose you - this time I was able to arrive 5 days in advance, which also shows that you are really powerful, in the words of one of my juniors, you are definitely a professional 'old driver'!"
"Old driver?" the old man smacked, "Hmm... This title is full of feelings, well, then it is decided! In the future, my nickname will be Old Driver!"
Wang Laohan and Qin Shuangtong both laughed happily, but unfortunately, they didn't understand what the meaning of the word "old driver" "created" by Xu Mu was, and if the latter knew Xu Mu's inner OS when he said this, she would definitely blow up the other party's dog's head.
But it's a pity that there is no if in the world, so this word slowly spread out in the daily communication (chui) flow (niu) after the old man, and finally over time, it actually evolved into the highest honorary title in the industry of coachman, which Qin Shuangtong never expected.
What's even more speechless is that because almost all the drivers claimed to be old drivers when soliciting passengers in the later period, a large number of deceived passengers complained, and the result was that the phrase "I am an old driver, I will brag" was also "invented" by the residents of the Seven Star Continent.
At this moment, Xu Mu, who was far away in Xuanyan City, would never have thought that his words to entertain himself could cause such a big turmoil, and that one day in the future, he, the initiator, would also vomit three liters of blood in embarrassment, of course, that is all for later.
"Then uncle, I'll go first, see you again when you have a chance!" Qin Shuangtong hugged his fist at Wang Laohan, and then accelerated, and galloped towards Langsha City, just one breath, and left the carriage far behind.
"Hey, this is really more popular than a dead person..."Looking at Qin Shuang's pupils who turned into an afterimage and quickly disappeared, Wang Laohan sighed, "I think I have worked hard in my life, and in the end I am just a second-order black iron, this little girl is young, and her cultivation is already at the bronze high level... Forget it, I'm a bad old man compared to the genius of other people's military academies, I'm really worrying... Drive ββ!" the old man laughed at himself and continued to catch the car.
**************************************
Wushen Lake, one of the most famous inland lakes in the Central Continent (in fact, the sea is also an inland sea, after all, it is not a planet but a floating continent), located in the northern part of the Shenhu Province of the Star Heart Empire, occupying almost half of the entire province. Legend has it that in primitive times, a witch (witch is a title within the tribe) was born here, and the lake of the witch god was named after it. As the center of the province, Langsha City is located on the south shore of the lake.
As a lakeside city, it is a famous tourist attraction with beautiful scenery and beautiful environment, and at the same time, the abundant aquatic resources in the lake have also brought vast business opportunities to the local area, so it is almost 24 hours a busy state, and there is an endless stream of people coming in and out of the city gate every day.
In order to strengthen the management of order, the city lord's mansion specially ordered the law enforcement team to allocate manpower, and set up a law enforcement post composed of two warriors at each city gate to assist ordinary soldiers in defense. (Guarding the door, patrolling and other miscellaneous work are ordinary people, only the small leader is a warrior, and the law enforcement team is drawn from the guard army, all the martial arts) and today, it happens to be the day of the rotation of posts.
"Brother, remember, if you can come here, that's your luck!" At the gate of the south city, an old law enforcement team member is conducting "science popularization" for his new partner, "On duty here, you don't have to train hard, and you don't have to look at the face of the commander all day long, except for wandering around the city gate, there is nothing else to do!"
"Uh... Thank you seniors... But..."The new player is only about 20 years old, obviously a rookie, and he doesn't understand a lot of things, "But aren't we here to help defend it?
"Hey, so brother, you're still too young~!" the old team member pouted, "Our Langsha City is inside the empire, far away from the frontier battlefield, and the security is very good, where did the chaos come from? At most, it's just a few small fights, and those gatekeepers can solve it by themselves!"
"What if a warrior makes trouble?"
"You're stupid! Which warrior would come to challenge the city defense army if his brain is clipped? Even those second ancestors are all looking for ordinary people, so you just put your heart in your stomach and enjoy your work and life!" The old team member gave him an angry look, thinking why he was stunned.
"Oh... Oh... Got it..."The new team member replied weakly.
"Hmm~!, in the future, you will follow your brother and let you eat and drink spicy food!" The old team member snorted from his nose, and was about to continue blowing down, but suddenly found a trace of abnormality in the distance, "Hmm, what is that? Demon beast? No! So fast!"
"Huh?" the young recruit followed his gaze and saw that it was a rapidly approaching figure.
"What person!? Stop!" In an instant, he changed his previous appearance of being submissive to the veteran, quickly grabbed the black iron spear beside him, and rushed out against the black shadow, "This is the south gate of Langsha City!
"Stupid! Come back!" The old team member scolded badly, with his knowledge, the person who came was at least the bronze rank, and it was definitely not something that the two black iron ranks could deal with, at this time, they should first choose to protect themselves, and then quickly report to the top, blindly rushing up is just killing themselves.
It's a pity that it's too late, the speed of the black shadow is incredibly fast, just a few breaths to approach the recruit, he closed his eyes painfully - the other party still doesn't slow down when he gets closer, obviously not good, his little brother is probably more than lucky.
However, the expected scream did not come, but was replaced by a gentle voice.
"This law enforcement brother, I'm very sorry, little sister, I have an urgent matter to go home, can you make it convenient for me to enter the city from the emergency entrance?"
