Chapter 902: Self-defeating
The carriages used by the chaebols to pick up their sons and daughters were all as gorgeous as if they were donkeys inlaid with gold rings and diamond headlights, and as a coachman of an ordinary rental carriage, Mr. White was naturally under great pressure. If you think about it, it's normal, if you say that in a Xiali taxi with a broken headlight in the middle of a Bugatti Maybach Koenigsek, the driver's pressure will naturally be great.
Uncle White had even felt the dog-like look of the trench coachmen who looked at him as if they were looking at the filthy rats, with disdain and disgust, and even a kind of hatred, but often more restlessness and self-esteem. In fact, the upper class people who were really born into the "upper class" would never show such a gaze. For them, inferior people are ants and reptiles, and they are not worth their gaze and attention for an extra second. Only the doglegs of the big guys, or the former subordinates who barely became a member of the "big guys", will look at their class brothers in such a blatant way.
Of course, if Lu Xi were here, he could have seriously explained to Mr. White that generally speaking, the doglegs of the superior people are basically born of inferior people, but when they oppress the inferior people, they are often more vicious than the superior people themselvesβat least they will make very vicious timing. This is probably for the sake of his shameful past, right? This is the same as the fact that people who have not realized their own lives are at most a group of self-righteous little bourgeois, and they are not real revolutionaries.
In such a knife-like sight of strong onlookers, Mr. Coachman did have the intention of running away, but on the one hand, he had already made an appointment to wait at the door, and saying goodbye was really beyond his bottom line, and on the other hand, he was so generous...... Ah no, customers are so rare. If you really give up. I'm going to regret it.
"Hmph, what's the big deal. Labor and management pull customers to make money every day, although it is hard but also comfortable and happy, you guys are still the original sense of superiority when you guys are dogs for big families? Uncle White thought so, though. But I still feel a little hurt to be stared at by all kinds of eyes. He got out of his car and looked at his car, which had been in good shape for some years but was still very well maintained, though it did look like an inconspicuous ugly duckling compared to the surrounding trench carts, which were drawn by more than four tall horses and had gold trims. But it is the most important tool to support oneself and support one's family. Many times, he even feels that this carriage, which has been passed down from his grandfather's generation to his hands, has witnessed more history and times than himself, and has a life of its own. He patted the two old horses pulling the cart again, this is a pair of horses with a male and a female, who have been with him for nearly ten years, and they are no different from their families.
"Yes. I just live more freely than you! Looking at his carriage and his two old companions, Old White made another additional confirmation.
He finally didn't wait too long in the dazzling gaze around him, and soon he saw a group of employers walking towards him, the daughter of a large family who was born with elegant and generous manners, and the humble, polite, kind and lovely little boy (still a brain supplement), which should be the sisters and brothers who came out to visit. But when they passed, there were two people, but when they came back, there was a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old. Although she was young, this little girl put on an old-fashioned look, which made Mr. Coachman curious. Still, well. Whatever, anyway, pulling two people is also pulling, and pulling three people is also pulling. In the affairs of big people, it is better to gossip less.
Lu Xi took Miss Lori and the little apprentice like this. In full view of the surrounding wagon drivers, no one boarded Mr. White's old carriage.
Lu Xi sat in the open-top (in fact, there was no canopy at all) carriage, and glanced at the group of people under the gate who were driving the trench cars around him. He was obviously smiling, but he didn't know why, but everywhere he looked, it seemed like a predator was glaring at Mr. Coachman, and he smiled at Mr. Coachman and said, "Is it okay to get to the Grand Theater of the Gem Coast before six o'clock?" β
"Look." Mr. White held his head high and his fighting spirit was high. It was as if he had received the highest instructions: "If you go from the main road, you will not be able to catch up, but the villain is a native of Neosfia, and all the alleys and backstreets are as familiar as his own back garden, and he will surely take you to the Jewel Coast before six o'clock." β
The so-called three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion, look at this Mr. White's confident appearance, it should be the legendary old driver, right? Lu Xi patted the other party's shoulder with satisfaction: "...... Hey, then it's all up to you. β
Lu Xi didn't know if there was such a thing as the evening rush hour in the capital of the seven seas, but seeing that the traffic and people flow of the Hongshan Bridge at this time had far exceeded that in the morning, maybe the main road was really starting to be impassable. Mr. White had just crossed the bridge with his carriage, and after only a few more seconds of running through the avenue, he quickly turned into an alley. The expansive view of the surroundings dimmed, and in an instant, the unobstructed view of the sea became a seemingly accessible house on both sides of the eye, and a sky with only a line of sky at the zenith.
Suddenly changing from the main road to the inaccessible side road, other passengers may think that the driver has some unpleasant intentions. But Lu Xi didn't care at all, on the one hand, he didn't feel any malice from Mr. Coachman, and on the other hand, he ...... Even if you really encounter a ruffian who robs the road at a certain intersection, it should be the other party who should be worried.
However, it is amazing that even after entering the parallel path of almost two flatbed carts, the speed of the carriage has not slowed down in the slightest. There weren't many pedestrians on the small roads in the city, but they were all startled by the high-speed galloping carriage, and they didn't react until the vehicle passed by them, and they couldn't help but scold with a lingering scolding. Xiao Zhengtai Kalman is naturally a little nervous, you know, in such a narrow road to maintain high speed, even if the car is destroyed in the next second, it is possible.
However, even on such narrow roads and at such relatively high speeds, the vehicle remained very stable.
"With this driving skill, it's enough to drive a car for a big nobleman or a royal family, right?" Lu Xi praised with a smile. Mr. White's driving skills did surprise a well-informed protagonist like Lu Xi, if it weren't for the kryptonite dog eyes to check the other party's roots. Maybe I really thought that I was lucky, and I met a special NPC or someone with ulterior motives who had good acting skills.
ββ¦β¦ Hey, you guessed that. Our family's driving skills have been passed down from my grandfather's grandfather's generation. He was the best charioteer on the continent in Southness. Specially designed for His Majesty the King to drive into battle and be invincible! And when it came to my grandfather's, he was the winner of the Neosfia Racing Championship! Lifted the trophy in front of 100,000 spectators at the Colosseum! The so-called car god Schumat, that is my grandfather! While Mr. White was driving the car, he could still answer Lu Xi a few words in distraction. There was pride in his tone, not at all modesty.
"Hmm. If it weren't for the early death of his old man and the fact that my father hadn't learned all his skills, maybe our family would be the most famous racing driver in the City of the Seven Seas. β
"With your current hand, it's enough for you to compete." Lu Xi smiled and said, "Maybe I can also leave a legend of the car god White." β
Speaking of this, Mr. Coachman couldn't help but pause, and then there was a hint of helplessness and unwillingness in his voice: "This...... Hi this, the villain's mother doesn't allow me to participate in any racing competitions, probably because of my dad. Although he did not participate in the official car race like my grandfather, he participated in the underground car race organized by ****. also broke out of the name of a North Mountain car god...... Yes, it is the mountain in the north of the city, and there are more than 20 sharp bends, which is known as the most dangerous mountain road in the whole of Neosfia. However, there was an accident in a race, and even people and cars fell down the cliff. β
Perhaps because of the long time that has passed, Mr. White's voice, although a little sad, is also very calm.
"Hey, although I can't gallop on the field, I can live peacefully with my wife, children and mother, which is also very good." Mr. White said, "I'm out to catch the car." My wife helps people with laundry and cooking to supplement the family, and if there are not many customers in normal times, we will also drive a fast food truck and sell bento boxes at the dock......"
"Selling bento?" Lu Xi was slightly stunned.
"yes. Our crafts are all learned from my mother, and they are definitely the best crafts in all of Neosfia...... Well, I'm sorry, dear lady, but it's still not as good as the delicacies you eat. β
"Big people don't necessarily eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every day." Lu Xi smiled: "And I don't know why, I suddenly feel that you are still quite suitable for the promising job of selling bento." Please keep at it. β
Mr. White couldn't understand for a moment whether the other party was praising himself or hurting himself, so he decided to listen to himself as praised, and his mood was suddenly much happier.
ββ¦β¦ Although the coachman said something upside down, maybe he was telling the truth. This level of chariot driving must be the best charioteer even among the most elite chariot troops in the city-state of Sosnes. Miss Witch suddenly whispered in a voice that only Lu Xi and herself could hear.
At present, in the known world, the only ones that are still massively equipped with chariots, which should be eliminated, are those city-states on the continent of Sosnes on the other side of the Chenhai. On the one hand, these city-states are mainly concentrated on the northern coast of the continent, where the flat, unrolling Great Plains are mostly fertile and abundant, but at the same time they are very suitable for rampage chariots. On the one hand, it is also because the local native horse breed has not been very tall and not too suitable for humans with helmets and armor.
Of course, with the rise of the maritime trade in Chenhai, the exchanges between the two continents became more and more frequent, and these city-states of Sosnes also began to try to introduce the war horses of the Gaboa continent and organize their own cavalry troops, but the chariot class has not been eliminated. In the eyes of the lords and kings of the southern city-states, in terms of impact and formation-breaking ability, the chariot still far surpassed the best and strongest war horses.
In a sense, they were right......
"Moreover, have you noticed that the two groups of people who followed us just now have been dumped." Miss Witch said again.
"Oh? Did you notice it too? Lu Xi said.
"What the hell didn't you notice, right? I've lived to this age, and this kind of tracking method is all left over from my mother's play a hundred years ago. Miss Legal Lori said old-fashionedly: "Why, you're being targeted...... Well, but people like you, it's weird if you weren't targeted, right? β
"That's right, a person like me who has a correct and honest outlook on the three views, walking in the five turbid and evil worlds, is like a daffodil blooming in the sludge, if it is not noticeable, it would be strange." Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders and said calmly: "However, the reason why this world is filthy is that the villains see such a glorious generation, but they will not reflect on themselves while being ashamed of themselves, but will try their best to erase this sun-like light source and let the world return to darkness." Alas, what a cruel and sad world it is. β
Miss Witch's eyes widened, and she directly conveyed with her eyes: "You actually said such a shameful thing without hesitation, this girl really admires it so much".
Maybe it's because of Lu Xi's brazenness that Miss Legi Lori refreshed her three views, fell into a long-term cultural conflict, and didn't bother to speak anymore for a long time.
And the "two groups" that she said were dumped, one group should be Miss Sonia and the others, and the other group should be the people of the Dalrest family. Lu Xi felt a little pity, he actually wanted to see what the other party's tail (meow) had been doing all day, if there was really any malice, but instead gave himself an excuse to do it - for this group of local chaebols who have been king and hegemonic in the capital of the seven seas for a long time, he wants to squeeze into their circle, and even let them be willing to endorse themselves, in addition to letting these guys who are not profitable and can't afford to see the profits, they occasionally need to kill a few chickens to show the monkeys for blood.
However, if you really have a conflict with the other party's tail (meow) idiot, you and your friends are naturally not afraid, but if you are tired of the coachman Mr. White, it will not be good. This lovely gentleman, let's continue to sell bento boxes in peace......
Lu Xi looked at the coachman uncle who was driving the car in Meizizi, probably imagining how much he would give him a reward later. The happiness of ordinary people is sometimes quite enviable.
"Someone is following." Anji's voice suddenly sounded in her head.
"Yes, Miss Sonya, didn't they and the people of the Dalester family get dumped?" Lu Xi also responded in his heart.
"No, it's a strong person with extremely high running speed and the ability to move, and he also has a certain stealth skill, and he is a master of stealth action and tracking. He appears as your frame enters the main island. Anji said: "Do you need to take it?" β
Since even Angie thinks that he is a master, then he must be a master, so high that he and Rosalie didn't even find it, although no matter how high he is, he must not be as high as Angie...... However, the average chaebol is afraid that they cannot afford to raise such a level of covert actors. So, would it be a member of the Faceless Society? Ordinary people may not know, but the fact that these thieves pretending to be criminals and setting their headquarters in the capital of the seven seas is not a secret in the world of the powerful. Considering the nature of the gang and their previous relationship with themselves, it's hard to imagine that they would not react at all to their arrival.
"No, just keep an eye on it." It's finally a little interesting, but I can't let the incomprehensible star spirit scare away such a good toy. (To be continued.) )
