Chapter 35: The Turmoil at the City Gate
Yang Yi and the others approached the city gate and looked up at the tall city gate.
"Wow, this gate is so big, it's much bigger than the gate in Wushan Town. Yang Yi exclaimed.
The crowd around the city gate looked at him with strange eyes, Xiang Haoyu looked at them, quickly moved away from Yang Yi, and looked around, as if to show that I was not with him all the way, and I didn't know him.
Yang Yi saw that Xiang Haoyu was getting farther and farther away from him, and he didn't know what he was doing, so he hurriedly ran over and asked, "Haoyu, what are you doing, why are you so far away from me." ”
Xiang Haoyu looked at Yang Yi who came up, and hurriedly pushed back with a bitter face: "Who are you, I don't know you, stay away from me." ”
"Hey, Haoyu, what's wrong with you, what's going on, you're not sick. Yang Yi reached out and touched his forehead, and then touched his forehead and didn't find that he had a fever.
Xiang Haoyu saw that he couldn't go on, and whispered with a bitter face: "Xiao Yi, I said can you not be so rustic, it's embarrassing, what's the difference between you and a countryman." ”
"I originally came out of the mountains, what's the matter, I am not allowed to express my feelings. Yang Yi said frankly.
Xiang Haoyu looked at his frank expression, and was speechless for a moment, he really couldn't do anything about him, so he had to drag him into the city. Otherwise, I don't know what to do.
"Stop, you two haven't paid yet. The guards, tall and thin, on both sides of the city gate, stopped the two and shouted.
"Oh, too, I forgot. Xiang Haoyu patted his head, took out two copper coins from his clothes, handed them over, and pulled Yang Yi to the city gate again.
"Stop, who let you pass. One of the tall doormen grabbed Yang Yi and shouted.
"This uncle, didn't you give you the money, why didn't you let me in. Yang Yi asked with an innocent face.
"He gave his money, but you didn't. The tall doorman replied.
Xiang Haoyu looked at the doorman curiously, pointed to the other people who went into the city to pay the money, and said, "No, didn't I give you two copper coins." ”
"Who said you gave me two copper coins, it's obviously one copper coin. The tall doorman said slyly.
Xiang Haoyu looked at the tall doorman who was playing tricks, and said angrily: "Impossible, I obviously gave you two copper coins, how could it become one, are you lying." ”
The tall doorman was a little flustered by what he said, and hurriedly gave the thin doorman on the opposite side a look.
The thin doorman understood what he meant, and immediately stood up and said, "I also saw just now that you only gave a copper coin. ”
"What? No way, I gave two. Xiang Haoyu pointed to the doorman who was a little taller than himself, with a look of indignation on his face.
"I can testify that Haoyu just gave you two copper coins. Yang Yi also said slightly angrily.
Seeing this, the tall doorman roared loudly: "Damn, you two are in a gang, you must help him, you ask the people around you, how many they see." ”
"Please testify to both of us. Yang Yi clenched his hands into fists and asked for help.
For half an hour, no one stood up to help them speak, just watched silently from the side.
Seeing that no one stood up, the tall doorman said arrogantly: "What's the matter, is there no one to prove it?" ”
Yang Yi saw that no one around him stood up, and closed his eyes in pain, only then did he understand that everyone in the world is a bully.
"You have deceived people too much. Xiang Haoyu glared at the doorman with a flushed face, looking angry.
"Hmph, don't hurry up and pay the money. Otherwise, I'll take you to jail. The tall guard snorted coldly.
Xiang Haoyu clenched his fists and said angrily: "Hmph, it's up to you." ”
Just as Xiang Haoyu was about to clean up the two guards, suddenly an old voice sounded.
"I can testify that the two little brothers just now did give two copper coins. ”
I saw an old man dressed in simple clothes and walking with a pole stick walking out of the crowd of onlookers.
"Well, what, old man, you have to think about it, don't talk nonsense, or else," the tall guard threatened with a fist.
Yang Yi hurriedly protected the old man behind him and said, "Old man, don't be afraid, with me, they can't hurt you." ”
The old man glanced at Yang Yi gratefully, pulled his sleeve and dissuaded: "Child, it's okay, I'm not afraid of them." I'm old, and they don't dare to hurt me, so hurry up and go into the city, don't worry about it, you two can't make trouble with them. ”
"Well, got it, old man. ”
"Haoyu is gone. Yang Yi beckoned to Xiang Haoyu, and helped the old man to walk into the city.
When the tall guard saw that neither of them could shake him off and he was about to enter the city, he shouted angrily, "Wait, who let you enter the city?" ”
"Boss Gao, let them in, let's not cause trouble, if the commander comes, it won't be good. The skinny guard pulled him and whispered.
The tall guard saw that the three of them had already walked away, so he had no choice but to give up, snorted coldly, and turned his head to collect the fee for entering the city.
"Grandpa, thanks to you just now, otherwise, we wouldn't know how to stop it. Yang Yi smiled and helped the old man into the city.
"Hmph, what's so hard about this, it's a big deal to beat them up. Xiang Haoyu said viciously.
"No, if you do it, you will be in trouble. The old man hurriedly persuaded.
"What the old man said is, Haoyu, don't be reckless. Yang Yi nodded.
Xiang Haoyu patted Yang Yi's head and said, "Hey, you kid..."
"Haoyu, you kid is looking for death..."Yang Yi chased and kicked towards Haoyu.
"Hehehehehe. The old man saw the two of them fighting, touched his beard and laughed happily.
The old man saw that the two of them were getting more and more energetic, so he quickly grabbed them and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you two don't make trouble, this is in the city, be careful of bumping into others." ”
"Got it, old man. Yang Yi and the two put away their jokes and replied in unison.
"Grandpa, where are you going, let's send you off. Yang Yi asked while holding the old man.
The old man pointed to the tailor's shop next to him and replied, "Hehe, no need, I've already arrived." ”
"Ah, it's already here, I wanted to give you a ride. Yang Yi touched his head and said embarrassedly.
"No, no, what a good boy, you two hurry up and get busy with you. The old man touched Yang Yi's head and smiled.
Yang Yi and the others watched the old man walk into the tailor shop, and they didn't linger, and walked to the inn not far away.
The two walked into the inn, ate a simple meal, and then entered the room to discuss the next route.
"Haoyu, how do we go next, Xingchen Academy will open in less than half a year, and if you don't go a little faster, you won't be able to catch up with the registration. Yang Yi said, holding the map.
"Well, I'll take a look. Xiang Haoyu took the map in Yang Yi's hand.
Xiang Haoyu pointed to a certain place on the map and said, "Xiao Yi, look, we can go to Misty City first, Misty City is a relatively large city, I think there must be a large bird-like spirit beast that can carry us to Star City." ”
"Misty City, it seems that there are many spirit beasts in the Misty Forest, maybe there are spirit beasts above the Beast King, it will be difficult for the two of us to cross it. Yang Yi said in surprise.
"I know, but if we want to get there quickly, we have to follow this route, otherwise we won't be able to catch up. Xiang Haoyu replied.
"But, how do we get there? Yang Yi asked.
"Don't worry, we can follow the mercenaries who went to Misty City through the Misty Forest. Xiang Haoyu replied.
"Mercenary? Yang Yi continued to ask.
Xiang Haoyu pointed at him and said helplessly: "Hey, it seems that I should give you some knowledge of the mainland." ”
"Mercenaries are a kind of freelance profession in the Tianxing Continent, which is registered by freelancers through the mercenary union, these mercenaries mainly complete mercenary tasks in exchange for payment, and can carry out solo mercenary tasks, or form a group to carry out mercenary tasks......"
"In addition to mercenaries, Tianxing Continent also has many of its own professions, such as alchemists, foundries, array pattern masters, etc., and these professions also have their own trade unions, such as the pharmacist union, the casting union, the formation pattern union, and so on......"
After more than an hour of explanation, Xiang Haoyu finally dictated some basic situations on the mainland to Yang Yi, so that he had a deeper understanding of the mainland.
Yang Yi seemed to understand a little bit, and said blindly: "Ao, so that's the case." Okay, we'll go find the mercenaries tomorrow morning. ”
"Why don't we do it today, we'll all rest early. Yang Yi said cutely.
"Okay, good night, I've been quite tired for the past two days. Xiang Haoyu also saw that it was late, and went back to his room to rest.
Yang Yi sent Xiang Haoyu away, sat cross-legged on the bed and used the rest time to practice, hoping to break through to the realm of martial artists as soon as possible, while Xiang Haoyu returned to the room and lay on the bed and fell asleep.
