Chapter Twenty-Seven: Arriving at the South Gate
And it didn't matter if he turned around, the onlookers in that direction suddenly felt a terrifying feeling born from their hearts, and they rushed back, "making way" for Lin Xuan. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
And Lin Xuan, under the gaze of everyone, slowly walked into the shop that rented horses. "Is the boss here? I'm going to rent a horse. Lin Xuan saw that there was no one in the store, so he asked out loud.
"In, in, in......" This somewhat panicked voice came into Lin Xuan's ears, and Lin Xuan turned his head in some surprise, because the voice came from behind him.
As soon as he turned around, Lin Xuan saw the shopkeeper who was sweating profusely with nervousness rushing over to this side with some trembling, and when Lin Xuan was still a dozen steps away, the shopkeeper stopped, as if he didn't dare to step forward again.
"I don't know if you, Young Master Lin Xuan, what kind of horse do you want......" The shopkeeper's voice trembled a little, Lin Xuan didn't mind, and said, "I don't have much money, let's get a cheaper one." β
"Ah, it's ......" The shopkeeper originally stepped forward, but he hesitated and stopped in place, looking very entangled, Lin Xuan couldn't help but smile when he saw him like this, and said, "That's it, you tell me where it is, I'll pick it up myself." β
When the shopkeeper heard this, he felt like he had been amnestied, and his face became a little better: "Horse, the horse shed is in the back, please pick ...... Young Master Lin Xuan at will."
After listening, Lin Xuan nodded and walked to the back stable, leaving only the shopkeeper and the group of people watching the excitement waiting outside for him to come out.
After Lin Xuan entered, all kinds of horses couldn't help but dazzle him, but his eyes didn't lock on the horse first, but looked at the rental record book beside him and smiled mysteriously.
After a long time, Lin Xuan slowly led a silver-gray horse and walked out. And as soon as the shopkeeper saw Lin Xuan take out the horse, his face immediately fell, but he still laughed with him.
"Young Master Lin Xuan really has good eyesight...... This horse's name is Gray Kite, and it is a good horse on the list of our store, and it was once a war horse of our Apocalypse Empire!"
"Oh?" After listening to the boss's introduction, Lin Xuan gently stroked the gray kite's mane, and suddenly jumped on the horse, and the gray kite let out a high-pitched neighing just after Lin Xuan got on the horse!
Lin Xuan's eyes turned and he glanced at the crowd who had been watching the excitement here. And when everyone in the crowd was swept by Lin Xuan, they all felt a fearful unprovoked growth in their hearts for a moment, and they all scattered as birds and beasts, and the main road was also let out.
Lin Xuan smiled, not knowing what it meant.
Then, I saw Lin Xuan's legs suddenly clamp the horse's belly, and pull the reins of the gray kite to the side with force. The gray kite suddenly stood on its feet, supported by only two powerful hind legs, and hissed at the same time!
Then, the gray kite carried Lin Xuan and rushed forward, all the way to the dust!
"Alas, it's finally gone......" After the shopkeeper saw Lin Xuan leave, he suddenly squatted on the ground weakly for a long time, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, did you ask for the rent of the gray kite?"
A friend of the shopkeeper asked. Although he had good intentions, he attracted a big roll of the shopkeeper's eyes, and he couldn't help but say, "Hey, what are you rolling your eyes at me, the gray kite's rent for a day costs two gold spirit coins, right?"
"Well, I use you to say?" the shopkeeper sighed weakly, shook his head, and said, "But how dare I ask for this rent......?"
Before the words fell, a bag flew from the direction where Lin Xuan had just left, and smashed in front of the shopkeeper at once. Frightened, the shopkeeper immediately stood up and looked in the direction where Lin Xuan had left.
Pulling his neck and looking at it for a long time, after making sure that Lin Xuan was not there, the shopkeeper carefully picked up the bag, the bag was heavy, and it could already be seen from the appearance that it contained spirit coins.
Swallowing his saliva, the shopkeeper looked up again before opening the bag. I saw that it was indeed filled with spirit coins, and it was also gold spirit coins, a total of ten of them lying quietly in the bag. In addition to the Golden Spirit Coins, there is also a small note, and the paper of this small note looks familiar.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to just put away the bag of spirit coins, and spread out the note with his hand, only to see that it read:
You were frightened, Lin Xuan apologized. These ten spirit coins are the rent and deposit of this horse, and I don't know if it is enough, so I will give you ten coins for the time being. If there is less Lin Xuan, come back to make up for you, if there is more, Lin Xuan will have the right to make amends. - Lin Xuan.
"This ......" The shopkeeper suddenly realized, no wonder this paper feels familiar, isn't this the paper of his own rental record book? And Lin Xuan had just entered for a while, not picking horses, but writing this note.
He was afraid that the shopkeeper would not dare to take his money because of fear, so he came up with this plan.
"Hey, this Lin Xuan doesn't seem to be as rumored. The friend of the previous shop owner also came up and said after seeing the note left by Lin Xuan.
The shopkeeper nodded blankly. The deposit of this gray kite is five gold spirit coins, and the rent is only two gold spirit coins, which means that Lin Xuanduo gave him three gold spirit coins!
He held the bag of gold spirit coins in one hand and the note in the other, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
And on the side of a corner of the street, a man who looked four points like Lin Xuan had been watching the situation here, he looked in the direction of Lin Xuan's departure, and showed a relieved smile.
"This kid has the appearance of his father back then......"
β¦β¦
"Phewβ"
With a breath in his mouth, Lin Xuan suddenly pulled back the reins of the gray kite, and the gray kite hissed and stopped in place. Lin Xuan smiled, raised his hand to block the dazzling sunlight, and at the same time raised his head and looked at the door in front of him through the gap between his fingers.
It doesn't matter if you look at this, Lin Xuan sighed helplessly. I saw a plaque engraved on the gate - Nan.
As long as he passed through this gate, Lin Xuan was equivalent to officially entering the most central realm of the Apocalypse Empire, which is often referred to as the central circle.
But in fact, in addition to the central circle, there is a more popular name here - the city of five tribes.
Because, this is not only the palace of the imperial family of the Apocalypse Empire, but also the residence of the Xiao family, the Li family, the Wu family, and the Yang family, the four largest forces in addition to the royal family.
And these four families are the four major families of the imperial capital of the famous Apocalypse Empire.
The entire central circle is surrounded by thick and towering walls, and the absolute power of these five Apocalypse Empires is also surrounded by the central circle. The most central location is naturally the palace of the imperial family, and the four directions of east, west, south and north are occupied by the four major families.
There are a total of eight gates that can enter the central circle from the outside world, which are located in four directions: east, west, south, north, southeast, northeast, southwest and northwest.
However, in the early years, in order to befriend the four major families, the Emperor of the Apocalypse at that time assigned the city walls in the east, west, south, and north directions to them. To this day, these four doors have gradually become the separate property of the four families.
Now, although people can still enter the central circle through these four gates, not many people are willing to go through them, and they would rather go in other directions than go through these four gates.
Because, these four doors have now become the tools of the four major families to collect money! Whenever someone passes by, the guards of the four major families stationed at the door will come forward to "borrow" some wine money.
This is not what the top of the four families meant, nor is it allowed by the four major families. However, as the saying goes: how many people can restrain themselves in the face of huge interests?
In the past, there have been resentful people who went to the four major families to complain, however, these people often "got sick" and died inexplicably before they saw the person in charge, and over time, everyone chose to remain silent.
And there is a word "south" on the city gate in front of Lin Xuan, which means that this gate is the gate of the south and the Wu family.
However, Lin Xuan didn't seem to plan to go around.
In addition, Lin Xuan really didn't expect this gray kite to be so fast, and it would arrive here in less than two hours. Touching the gray kite's horsehair and feeling its comfortable touch, Lin Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"You're really fast, but look at the rest of my steel hammer like this, I don't have to be fast......"
The gray kite didn't seem to be very happy when he heard this, shook his head, and snorted, like a hooligan, as if to say: It's my business, and I didn't let you choose me. Besides, is it my fault to run fast?
patting the gray kite's neck and touching something in his arms, Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, let's go." β
The gray kite snorted again, and then slowly made its way towards the city gate......
