A horse-drawn carriage slowly drove towards the gate of Hope City from the far path, and several Noxian soldiers who had been dozing off the city gate quickly stood up, and two of them walked to the carriage with weapons in their hands and stopped the carriage four or five meters away from the city gate.

"Old Layton, what are you pulling in this car?" One of the soldiers glanced at the back of the carriage with his eyes.

"It's still the same as usual, forage, there are many horses at home, there is no way, I have to pull a batch every few days."

"It's been a bit frequent lately, so I won't pretend to be anything unsightly!" The soldier who spoke knocked on the edge of the carriage with his weapon.

"How dare you, we have always been honest people, and my son is still on an errand under you, I will not harm my own son if I harm anyone."

"That's right, don't worry, your son is repairing fortifications on the front line, and he must be eating and drinking spicy, much better than our brothers."

"Yes, yes, you're right." Old Layton untied a small cloth bag from his waist, "This little change is not much, you take it to buy some wine to drink, I have to rush back to feed the horses, it has been broken since yesterday." ”

"It's convenient to talk to smart people," the soldier said, flipping the bag in his hand, and there was a crisp metal crashing sound from the bag, "Okay, nothing else, brothers, get out of the way, let old Layton in." ”

Layton stooped down and bowed to every soldier before he sat down in front of the carriage again and drove it toward the city.

The carriage stopped at the gate of a courtyard, and Layton jumped out of the carriage after tying up his horse, and the people in the courtyard seemed to hear the movement outside, and opened the courtyard door, and a gray-haired aunt came out of it.

"Old man, there is no news of our son."

Layton sighed and shook his head: "I've told you that my son was captured and sent to the battlefield in the east to repair fortifications, so don't ask anymore, it's useless to ask." ”

The woman stood at the door with both hands pinching the corners of her clothes: "Alas, it's good that there is no news, at least it proves that our son is still alive." ”

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it outside here, beware of the ears on the wall, let me in first. By the way, how much money do we have in our family, these guys' appetites are getting bigger and bigger. ”

When Layton and his wife entered the house, a figure crept out of the carriage.

"Did you see that! These Noxian bastards are simply devils, and if they stay in this land for even a day, the people of Ionia are living in dire straits. ”

"Can you save some effort...... I'm dizzy right now...... If you don't get something to eat, I'm afraid we won't have to wait until your Ionian brethren are saved, and the two of us will have to go to the cemetery first. Ling Tianmao's face was pale, he hadn't eaten since yesterday afternoon.

"I know, I know, what if I don't eat a meal...... Let me see what this is...... Come to think of it! Turn left at the end of the road, then walk through two intersections to get there. ”

Ling Tianmao didn't bother to talk to Dardo, he just wanted to find a place to fill his stomach now.

Following the route Dahl told him, Ling Tianmao came to the door of a house with a wooden sign hanging on the door of the house, on which were carved two beer glasses that had been bumped together, and four large characters - Gu Yi Bar.

"This is it, the boss here Gu Yi is familiar with me, and he welcomes me warmly every time I come." Dahl said with some nostalgia, "The potato roast chicken here is a must, if you are still in good health, you must have a good meal." ”

Ling Tianmao swallowed his saliva: "Don't say it, I can't stand being hungry, the problem is that he doesn't know me either, how can I tell him?" ”

"It's good if you just say it's my friend, Gu Yi is a well-known warm-hearted person, don't worry."

After hearing this, Ling Tianmao couldn't wait to push the door and walked in.

The bar seemed to be two worlds inside and outside, with every table packed, cheers, whistles, and curses, and the smell of tobacco and alcohol in the air.

"Ahem, cough," Ling Tianmao choked on the strong smell of tobacco and coughed, "There are so many people, which one is Gu Yi." ”

"Over there, the chubby guy sitting at the table in the far corner."

Soon, Ling Tianmao discovered Gu Yi in Dahl's mouth. He was wearing a large oil-stained apron, holding a glass of beer in his hand, and talking loudly about something with several big men around him. His chubby cheeks were flushed with excitement, and the mustache above his lips was beating happily with the movement of his facial muscles.

Ling Tianmao cautiously walked behind him and gently poked his back with his fingers:

"Are you Mr. Gooy?"

The man turned around, still with a bright smile on his face, he looked at Ling Tianmao, who was ragged, stained with weeds and dust in front of him, and his tone was full of enthusiasm and concern:

"Yes, I'm Gu Yi, dear friend, are you in any trouble?"

Ling Tianmao was secretly happy in his heart, this Gu Yi was really a hospitable guy as Dahl said, it seemed that he should not have found the wrong person this time, as long as he said that he and Dahl knew each other, the other party should help him.

"Well, I'm a friend of Dahl's, I don't know if you remember him? My luggage was snatched by robbers outside and I haven't eaten for two days, can you help me? ”

When Gu Yi heard the word "Dahl", the smile on his face suddenly froze, and his tone became cold:

"I'm sorry, we're not a charity here, so you'd better ask somewhere else."

"But that's how you treat your friend's friend? I just want to have a good meal. ”

"Huh, friend?" Gu Yi sneered a few times, "He didn't tell you how he was a friend?" ”

Ling Tianmao shook his head blankly.

Gu Yi took out a blackboard from under the table and put it in front of Ling Tianmao's eyes: "You take a good look, that guy, either borrowed or cheated, already owes me 50 gold coins." ”

Ling Tianmao carefully looked at the contents on the blackboard, this was a list of arrears, and sure enough, Dahl's name was at the top.

"This is indeed his problem, I didn't know it before, so you can treat it as if I don't know him, can you please give me a meal?" Ling Tianmao still didn't give up.

"Hmph, there have been more than a dozen guys who have cheated on this reason before, so since the last time, I have decided that anyone who knows Dahl will not be provided, I am afraid that you are all the same kind of people. If you want to eat, you can take the money. Gu Yi spread his hand towards Ling Tianmao and stopped talking.

Ling Tianmao looked at Gu Yi in embarrassment, and finally turned his head and walked away. In a trance, he found a seat and sat down, and began to think about what to do next.

"My friend, you look distressed." A voice rang out across from Ling Tianmao.
