Chapter Seventy-Nine: Banditry
Although the head of the guard was unwilling, he was afraid of the origin of the token, gritted his back molars and helped Su Cha up, stood aside and looked at Su Cha quietly, waiting for his answer.
"This token was given to me by the owner of this token, let me come and reply to the city lord, you are holding me back, delaying the time to reply, can you take it?"
Hearing these words, the head of the guard couldn't help but have a thin layer of dense sweat on his head, and hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully.
"I was negligent just now, and I will personally go to report to the city lord, you go in and wait for a while."
Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the head of the guard, Su Cha rolled his eyes fiercely and said in pieces.
"Phew, this guy who sees the wind and rudder! If it weren't for the master who took the token, he would have been wiped out by you, the grass on the wall! "
Su Cha spat the ground, turned to the room above the city tower, and waited for the head of the guard to reply.
After a while, the guard ran back sweating profusely, looked for a circle of people who didn't see Su Cha at the bottom, looked up and saw Su Cha standing on the city tower looking at him, his face was suddenly full of smiles, and he hurriedly went up to the city tower and came to Su Cha and said.
"This son, the city lord will meet you in the main hall..."
Without waiting for the chief guard to finish speaking, Su Cha nodded perfunctorily, bypassed the chief guard and walked forward, the chief guard couldn't help but panic when he looked at Su Cha's momentum, and hurriedly chased after him and said flatteringly.
"Hey, son, son, just now the small one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, the small one is the fish eye, I didn't even see that it is such a nobleman, the small one is here to admit his mistake to you, if you want to kill it, you have to listen to the respect, but, can you ask the noble person for a request, can you not report it to the city lord, the small one still has to support the family..."
Su Cha was slammed by the sudden grabbing of his right leg, and looked back at the chief guard behind him helplessly, trying his best to free his leg from his clutches, and said helplessly.
"I know, am I such a disproportionate person? Didn't you hurt me just now, you just beat me half to death, isn't it not dead yet, I'm not so careful, you can relax. "
Su Cha's words made the head of the guard red-faced, and he didn't know what to say, looking at the head of the guard so cramped, Su Cha smiled and helped him up, pretending to be profound.
"What's the panic, just kidding, the misunderstanding between us is over, I also have something important to discuss when I go to see your city lord, so you can guard your gate well."
Seeing that Su Cha didn't look like he was lying, the head of the guard gave him a deep look, and then bowed deeply to express his gratitude, Su Cha patted him on the shoulder and left without looking back.
Sometimes the way to eliminate misunderstandings between men is very simple, but it is just to take a step back and not pursue each other's face.
In the blink of an eye, Su Cha had already come to the front of the City Lord's Mansion, and there were guards waiting here outside the gate early in the morning, watching Su Cha come slowly, he hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Is it Su Cha Su Gongzi? The lord of the city is inside, and I will take you in. "
Su Cha nodded slightly and followed the guards into the City Lord's Mansion, the decoration here is very different from that of Bei Mu Kingdom, different from the bright and atmospheric doors and windows of Bei Mu Kingdom, the City Lord's Mansion is made of stone, and the round windows have a unique flavor.
"I've seen the city lord, Su Gongzi has brought it."
The guard only led Su Cha to the door of the room, and after reporting to the city lord through the heavy stone gate, he left the place without waiting for the city lord to answer, leaving Su Cha standing alone in front of the stone gate, I don't know how long it took, and a slightly majestic voice came from the room and said.
"Su Cha, is it? Come in and talk back. "
Su Cha subconsciously looked at his side, and only after finding that there was no one did he cautiously push open the stone door, looking at the figure sitting on the main seat, Su Cha suppressed the fear in his heart, and showed the token and said.
"I'm going to negotiate with the City Lord of Dragon City."
When the figure on the main seat saw the token in Su Cha's hand, his pupils couldn't help shrinking, his hands unconsciously clenched the armrests on both sides of the seat, his eyes stared at Su Cha holding the token, and he gritted his teeth slightly and said.
"I am the city lord of Dragon City, Xiao Siying and Xiao Siren are my children, what conditions do you need to release them?"
Xiao Tong, the city lord of Dragon City, looked at Su Cha with eagle-like eyes, a pair of eyes that contained hidden anger but couldn't help it. Waiting for Su Cha to give himself a satisfactory answer.
"I already thought about it before I came, I only need 240,000 gold coins for this trip, and I am not greedy, the 120,000 gold coins of the dignified Miss Longcheng are not expensive, and by the way, plus his brother Xiao Siren, a total of 240,000, not much."
Su Cha sat on the side, drinking tea while talking, a pair of eyes looked Xiao Tong up and down without a trace, trying to see his true thoughts from the shape of his eyes.
Xiao Tong listened to the 240,000 gold coins without any waves on the surface, and also looked at Su Cha for a long time before speaking.
"Okay, I promise you, but I have one condition that you must agree."
Su Cha was not in a hurry, took a sip of tea and looked at Xiao Tong calmly, motioning for him to continue.
"I want to hand over the money with one hand and the other hand, and the place of the transaction must be within the territory of my Dragon City."
Su Cha was stunned when he heard this, and agreed quite quickly, but the conditions here are a little vigilant, but since the matter has reached this point, it means that half of the success has been achieved, and as for the rest, it can wait until Luo Jiuxi comes to discuss it.
Thinking so, Su Cha also put his mind at ease, got up and saluted Xiao to say goodbye.
"City Lord Xiao, I'll go down first, I still have to think about the location, please rest assured, since I have already shown the price, then there will be no danger to the Xiao Siying brothers and sisters."
After Su Cha finished speaking, he wanted to go outside, but Xiao Tong behind him suddenly stopped him and said.
"Master Su, I have already asked someone to prepare a room, someone will lead you over later, during the transaction, it is more convenient for the two parties to communicate closer to each other, right?"
Xiao Tong heard that Su Cha still had to think about it, judging from his experience as a city lord for so long, this Su Cha came to negotiate by himself, and the mastermind behind him had not yet fully appeared, if Su Cha was detained here first, he would not be afraid of what tricks they would play, after all, he was in his own territory, and he had enough confidence to detain people.
And Su Cha was keenly aware that Xiao Tong's purpose of staying here for the night would definitely not be so simple, and the vigilance that had been calmed in his heart couldn't help but rise again, but looking at the gradually dark sky, Su Cha didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only agree with a smile.
After Su Cha left, Xiao Tong immediately sent his cronies to follow Su Cha, for fear that Su Cha would play some tricks on the way, and after knowing that Su Cha arrived at the room arranged for him, he went to his eldest son Xiao Siqing non-stop to discuss the solution.
On the other side, Luo Jiuxi and his party took Xiao Siren's brothers and sisters to the Dragon City Realm, and the two brothers and sisters couldn't help but become excited when they looked at such a familiar land, but Luo Jiuxi glanced at the gate of Dragon City from a distance, and took them in the opposite direction.
"Why, aren't we going in?"
Seeing Luo Jiuxi going in the opposite direction, Luo Wencheng couldn't help but ask suspiciously, you must know that Su Cha is alone in the land of tigers and wolves, I don't know the temperament of the city lord of Dragon City, whether Su Cha is still okay now.
"Second brother, let's stay here for one night first, this place is very close to Dragon City, we will know about any disturbances, don't worry about Su Cha, he is the guest of honor of the City Lord of Dragon City, his sons and daughters are in our hands, it is him who should be worried about and not us."
These words undoubtedly gave them a reassurance, Mo Han walked in and went to find the shopkeeper to open three rooms, and volunteered to make a request.
"These two brothers and sisters will be in the same room with me tonight, and you can rest assured that I will guard you."
Luo Jiuxi glanced at Mo Han in surprise when he heard this request, he didn't expect him to take the initiative to personally guard the two Xiao Siying brothers and sisters, Mo Han's eyes seemed to be able to see everything in this world, and nothing could be hidden from his eyes.
"Okay, then it's hard work."
Luo Jiuxi said as he handed over Xiao Siying's brother and sister to Mo Han, and he went upstairs alone, Luo Wencheng looked at her back thoughtfully, looked at Mo Han deeply, and went upstairs without saying anything.
On the other hand, on Luo Jiuxi's side, after she came to the room, she opened the window as soon as she came, and from the perspective of the second floor of the tavern, she could just see the situation in Dragon City, and the guards on shift were also exposed to Luo Jiuxi's sight without obstruction.
"Xiao Jin, you sneak into the interior of Dragon City and tell me when you find Su Cha."
Luo Jiuxi said while looking out the window, she is going to explore Dragon City at night tonight, find Su Cha and ask about the specific situation, as the saying goes, only by knowing oneself and knowing the other can one not be defeated.
Xiao Jin's side soon had news of Su Cha, and Luo Jiuxi immediately flew away after receiving the news from Xiao Jin.
Luo Jiuxi came to the door of Su Cha's room precisely, and just as she wanted to push the door in, she keenly heard a slight noise around the door.
Luo Jiuxi's spirit immediately tensed, his sharp eyes looked at the place where the voice came from, and after determining the person's location, he didn't hesitate to make a move, and the person didn't even have time to make a sound before he fell down.
"Xiao Jin, you personally bring that person to the city lord of Dragon City, you don't have to cover it up, just throw it there generously."
The movement outside the door alarmed Su Cha, who was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, only to see that he immediately put his ear on the door frame and listened to the movement outside, holding his breath and not daring to make a trace of movement.
When he heard Luo Jiuxi's voice outside the door, his vigilant expression immediately relaxed, and a pair of eyes full of innocent light looked at the closed door, and when Luo Jiuxi pushed the door in, he accidentally crashed into a pair of big watery eyes.
"Su Cha?! What's wrong with you? "
Luo Jiuxi looked at Su Cha's appearance, and couldn't help but exclaim, this kind of Su Cha was something Luo Jiuxi had never seen before, looking at the look full of grievances, she couldn't believe that Su Cha was bullied when she was not around.
Watching Luo Jiuxi push the door in, Su Cha had accumulated grievances for a long time, and the moment she saw Luo Jiuxi, almost all the grievances hugged her, and she began to cry about her miserable experience like a little daughter-in-law.
"Luo Jiuxi! You know... You've asked me to do a task I couldn't possibly do! They all bullied me! And beat me and didn't let me in... Throw me out... Luo Jiuxi... You're going to call the shots for me..."
Listening to Su Cha wailing like a duck all the time, Luo Jiuxi plucked out his ears impatiently, and roughly pulled Su Cha who was hugging him, looked at him with a pair of eyes without blinking, and finally pulled up a smile, and said with a smile.
"Don't be wronged, I'll avenge you, na, I have a small pill here, it won't hurt if you eat it, and your mood will improve, everything in this vial is yours after this."
