Entering Red Leaf City, Quake was stunned.

The situation inside was completely different from what he had imagined.

Outside the momiji castle, there are low city walls, potholed dirt roads, and dilapidated city gates.

However, in the Red Leaf Castle, there are clean and tidy streets, neatly planned houses, no odorous air, and civilians with smiles on their lips.

That's not what a small town in the middle of nowhere!

Quake was confused.

According to his sources, Red Leaf City is the most remote city in the kingdom of Buck, so remote that the king never pays attention to it and leaves it to fend for itself.

If it weren't for the fact that their horse thieves were not suitable for exposure, they would have wanted to take the city down.

That's right, Quake is a horse thief.

He is the Overseer of the Horse Thieves.

His mission this time is to monitor the horse thieves who come to collect protection money to prevent them from getting the money and running away.

Although such things rarely happen, because horse thieves know how miserable the end of running away with money is, they must not be guarded against, after all, people are really going to run, and if they chase and kill, they will also waste some time.

Hence the Overseer, a hidden profession among horse thieves.

Quake has been to many cities because of his profession, but none of them have the feeling of a city that gives him such a strange feeling!

That's right, it's weird!

A strange thing that doesn't make sense!

"How? Shocked? ”

The tall middle-aged man next to him asked a little amusedly.

He was no stranger to Quake's stunned look.

"Lamb, why is Red Leaf City so clean?"

Looking at the clean street under his feet, Quake subconsciously asked.

The cities he has been to, those streets, are full of and urine on the streets, all kinds of ragged people snuggled in the corners, occasionally noble lords pass by, and a few whips will be drawn on these commoners, and no one dares to resist.

"Of course, this is the credit of the lord of the city, he has specially set up a profession called cleaners, they clean the streets every day, prohibit anyone from littering on the street, and if they are discovered, they will be fined, so Red Leaf City will be so clean, isn't it amazing?"

Lamb explained with some pride, as if he had done it.

"Cut! What's the use of that! ”

Quake's tone was a little sour.

He deliberately wore high heels in order to enter the city today, he was really not used to this thing, but he couldn't help it, in order to step on fewer mines, he could only do this.

But I didn't think about it, and today these high heels seem to be a little redundant.

"How is this useless? You may not know, all kinds of germs and viruses or something, generally like to hide in a dirty place, if humans stay in this kind of place for a long time, they may be infected with various diseases, the early stage may make the skin itchy, and then slowly festering and pus, and finally may be life-threatening! ”

Lamb exclaimed.

"How do you know? I don't believe in these fallacies! ”

Quake's face was a little unnatural, because he felt a little itchy after Lamb said this.

"Hehe, do you feel a little itchy on your body, let me tell you, this is the precursor of the disease!"

Lamb looked serious.

"Huh?"

Although Quake didn't believe what he said, he was still a little apprehensive when he looked serious.

"But you don't have to worry, usually your situation can be cured with just a very simple method?"

"How?"

"Take a bath!"

"Take a bath? No, no, no! ”

What a joke, take a shower! Doesn't that make the condition worse!

It's impossible to take a bath, it's impossible in this life!

Quake howled inwardly.

Lamb didn't say anything about Quake's performance, he believed that after a while, Quake would change his ways.

Because that's how he used to be.

It's winter now, and it's a little cold.

Quake has been catching a cold lately, and he feels a mouthful of thick phlegm in his throat and eyes, ready to spit it out.

When Lamb found out, it was already a little late, and seeing that there was no way to stop him, he hurriedly walked away from Quake, as if he didn't know him.

The rest of the caravan did the same, moving away from Quake in an instant.

Quake was a little confused, and he spat on himself, why did everyone run away?

"Hello sir, according to the fourth item, Article 5, and subsection 6, have you spit on the street at will, you have violated the laws of Red Leaf City, and will be fined one silver coin, if you have any comments on this punishment, you can go to the city hall for consultation or complaint."

An aunt with a red armband appeared next to Quake at some point, and muttered a lot as if she was memorizing a text.

What regulations, what articles, Quake didn't understand, but he understood the fine of 1 silver coin.

"Why, why can you fine me money? Do you know who I am? ”

There's no way Quake can pay a fine, he's a thief, he's a horse thief!

He has never been the only one who asks others for money, how can he give money to others!

"I don't care who you are, but if you don't pay me a fine, you can give it to them, but it's more than one silver coin."

The red-sleeved aunt pointed to a group of ten patrol soldiers not far away.

The group of soldiers seemed to have noticed the situation here and were walking towards it.

"I ......"

Quake was a little nervous, and he subconsciously put his hands on his waist, but he assessed that he alone was definitely no match for these ten heavily armed soldiers.

"I'll give!"

Quake gritted his teeth, and the scar on his brow looked hideous.

The hero doesn't suffer the immediate loss, he Quake, will definitely take revenge back.

After the aunt collected the fine, she didn't feel sorry for Quake, she cleaned up the thick phlegm herself.

At this time, Lamb returned to Quake's side, and said with some embarrassment:

"I'm sorry, I want to warn you, but it's too late, if we don't stay away from you, and you make some more dangerous moves, we will be arrested by the patrol soldiers as outlaws, and if we want to get out of the prison when the time comes, it will not be as simple as a silver coin!"

Quirk snorted coldly at Lamb's remarks and didn't say anything.

However, this incident also made him more curious about Red Leaf City, which is not only strict in terms of laws, but also very strict in guards, which is completely loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

In just a few moments, he saw several groups of patrolling soldiers.

If he just made a move, it was really looking for death.

"Haha, as a sign of my apologies, I'm going to treat you to dinner!"

Lamb is also a hospitable person, and he said very boldly patted Quake on the shoulder.

"Good!"

Quake didn't refuse, anyway, he didn't eat for nothing.

Along the way, everywhere you look, it's clean and tidy.

There is also a kind of thing called a garbage can on the side of the road, which is specially designed for people to put garbage.

There are even public restrooms!

The toilet is also commonly known as the toilet.

If he remembers correctly, it seems that only the castle has a toilet, and the toilet in the castle is not very popular, and it is usually solved nearby.

Everyone is afraid of trouble.

Why is it convenient for people here to go to the bathroom?

Penalty!

In an instant, Quake understood that this must be the high-pressure policy implemented by the lord of Red Leaf City! Forcing these civilians to do this!

This city lord is definitely a strange person, he wants to impose his own strange ideas on these civilians, and if he doesn't agree, he will be fined!

If you look at it this way, this city lord is definitely unpopular, and he is also very rich!

After all, there are fines everywhere, and spitting is just a silver coin, which is more profitable than a horse thief! You can get rich just by collecting fines!

The more Quake thought about it, the more he felt that this Red Leaf City was really a good place.

A place for horse thieves to raid!

After all, there are no walls here.

Those adobe walls, Quake didn't pay attention to at all, with their horse thief's riding skills, this small dirt slope could jump up in the blink of an eye, and it was not difficult at all.

Quake painstakingly memorized the situation inside Momiji Castle and observed the layout inside, and he wanted to provide the most important information for the plundering of the horse thieves in the future.

As for the missing horse thieves, Quake doesn't care about them anymore, whether they are dead or run away with the money, as long as this Red Leaf City is still here, they horse thieves will definitely not suffer!

Lamb naturally didn't know what Quake was thinking along the way.

He also enthusiastically introduced the customs and customs of Momiji City to Quake.

Soon, the group came to the Red Leaf Restaurant in Red Leaf City.

As soon as he reached the door, Quake smelled a faint fragrance.

"It's ......"

Quake wanted to break his head, but he couldn't figure out what kind of food it was, how could it be so fragrant!

"Haha, this is the characteristic of Red Leaf City - fish!"

"What? Fish? Can fish be eaten? ”

Quake was taken aback.

"That's natural, fish is not only edible, but also a particularly delicious food, I believe you will not be disappointed after eating it!"

Cook didn't believe Lamb's words, but since it was Lamb's treat, he didn't say anything, just wait and see, and it didn't cost him money anyway.

As soon as you enter the Momiji Restaurant, it is like entering another world.

As a horse thief, Quake is actually a little reserved.

This seems impossible to others, but it happened.

Because this restaurant looks so tall!

High rooftops, palatial halls, mystical and intricate gold patterns, and huge floor-to-ceiling windows......

Quake had never seen such an atmospheric decoration.

He used to think that this restaurant was a tavern, but now it seems that it is not the same thing at all.

And these people in the restaurant, all dressed in clean and neat clothes, sat elegantly in their seats, and spoke softly, so that they could not even be heard, only the sound of clinking glasses.

At this time, a lady passed by Quake, she had a beautiful face, there was not much expression on her face, she was wearing delicate and slim clothes, her slender figure was fully displayed, and she smelled the faint fragrance, which made Quake lose her mind for a while.

"Hey Quake, don't look at it, this is City Governor Erica, but the red man in front of the city lord is not something you can make!"

Lamb whispered in Quake's ear.

"I ......"

Quake didn't know what to say, he even had a trace of inferiority, thinking that he was not worthy of the other party at all, just at that moment, he thought that this was the princess of which country.

"This woman, I, Quake, are going to be decided!"

But after all, he was a horse thief, and Quake quickly adjusted his mood, and he even thought of the scene when Red Leaf City was broken, and he took this woman away and flew away.

"Hey, another poor person who has been charmed, if you see the city lord's wife, I'm afraid your soul will be out of your body!"

Although Lamb is a little embarrassed, it is not strange that this kind of thing is often staged, after all, there are many outsiders who have not seen the world in Red Leaf City recently.

The group sat down at two tables, Lamb skillfully beckoned, and a female *** came to him.

"Hello sir, what do you need?"

Before Quake could recover his senses, he was stunned when he saw the waiter.

Is this Red Leaf City rich in beauties?

In fact, this waitress is not a beauty based on her appearance alone, but she has a noble temperament against the backdrop of her clothes and manners.

This makes Quake wonder if this is a noble lady who has run out to experience life.

As a man, Lamb also admired it, but he didn't look at it much, after all, these were women he couldn't get.

He didn't ask Quake what he was eating, and just ordered a few dishes.

"That's all for now."

"Yes sir, please wait a moment."

The waiter took the menu and left.

Lamb smiled at Quake in a way that a man would know.

"How about it, the beauties of Momiji City are beautiful!"

"Beautiful!"

Quake replied truthfully.

"Hehe, just get over it, it's all women you can't get anyway!"

“……”

Seeing that Quake was a little absent-minded, Lamb didn't say anything more, and soon, plates of food were served.

Quake's gaze was finally drawn to it.

"Is this—a fish?"

Quake was a little shocked.

"That's right, fish is a major feature of Momiji Restaurant, so come and try it!"

Since no one here knows how to use chopsticks, the restaurant prepares knives and forks.

Quake was holding a knife and fork, a little unsure of where to start.

At present, Lamb no longer cares about Quake, and there is a time limit for eating at the Red Leaf Restaurant, after all, for the aborigines here, it can be discounted by 20%, and for civil servants, it can even be discounted by 6%, and the Red Leaf Restaurant is often full.

An hour later.

Quake came out with his hands on the wall.

"Quake, you're really too good to eat!"

Lamb regretted a little, he knew that he wouldn't have said to invite Quake to dinner, since he said please, the other party didn't eat enough, you can't settle the bill, you can only wait until Quake is full.

I ate three silver coins of Lamb for this meal, and I feel distressed!

"Hehe, more hospitality!"

Quake never thought that fish could be so delicious, and when he returned, he must tell the leader to catch fish!

"Quake, there's another good place in Red Leaf City, it's not much better than Red Leaf Restaurant, do you want to go?"

Lamb asked suddenly.

"Oh? And good places! Of course you have to go! ”

Quake originally thought that the Red Leaf Restaurant was the only good place in Red Leaf City, but he didn't expect it to be there, could it be another restaurant?

Although he was already full, Quake didn't mind being a little fuller.

"Ahem, what, I don't have enough funds......"

Of course, Lamb didn't have enough money, but he wanted Quake to invite.

"How much would it cost if there were two of us?"

Quake looked at Lamb warily, as a horse thief, he was very cautious about the gold coins.

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, the service is different at different prices, it's different, just a few copper coins cheap, and the most expensive is just a silver coin."

Hearing Lamb's explanation, Quake breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it is less than one silver coin, he can still afford to pay.

As for the task of finding those horse thieves and probing the city defense of Red Leaf City, he selectively ignored it, at least today, there is no way to complete it.

"So what the hell is the place you are talking about......"

Quake was a little curious.

"You'll know when you get there!"

After Lamb sells his subordinates and sends them away, he takes Quake to a steaming house.

As soon as I entered the door, I felt a thick heat.

"This ......"

"This is the bathhouse."

"Bathhouse? Bathe! ”

Quake was startled and was about to leave without even thinking about it.

But he was pulled by Lamb.

"Hey, what are you running, taking a shower is a very comfortable thing!"

The Lamb man is tall and big, and Quake really can't break free from his grasp.

"Lord Ram, what do you mean by that!"

Quake was a little unhappy, but getting into the water would weaken his immunity, and he would even get sick, so he didn't want to take a bath.

"Hey, it's really comfortable, I don't lie to you, and it's good to take a bath, really!"

Seeing Quake's look of disbelief, Lamb said:

"Otherwise, I'll wash it, and you can take a look inside, if you don't want to wash it, no one will force you."

Quake thought about it for a moment, then agreed.

He was also curious about what kind of magic this bathhouse or this red leaf city had, which could make people not afraid of water!

After the two of them came in, the moist heat came to their faces, and they were instantly warm.

"Here, the men's bathhouse is here, and the women's bathhouse is over there."

Lamb pointed to the other side, both of them were curious about the women's bathhouse next door, after all, men, but unfortunately it was very tightly blocked, and the two of them didn't see anything.

A male waiter came to greet the two, and Quake said that he would take a look casually, and the waiter didn't say anything, after all, many outsiders are hostile to water.

Led the two of them to the hall, where some well-dressed people sat and exchanged ears.

They were all curious about the bathhouse, but they were a little afraid of water, so they went outside to see what was going on.

Because they are all men, there is nothing to be shy about, and there is a half-section of the door curtain between the hall and the bathhouse at the back, which not only serves to divide the space, but also allows people to see the situation in the bathhouse.

Quake took a look, and the bathhouses inside were all pools, large and small, and different.

Lamb stripped naked and went straight down to a large pool.

Someone else came over to help him rub his back.

Looking at his comfortable appearance, Quake was a little puzzled, is it really comfortable to take a bath?

In his memory, the last time he took a bath was a year ago, and if he hadn't been stained with too much blood when he killed someone, he would never have bathed.

He now thinks back to what it felt like to bathe in the river at that time, just one word - cold!

Doesn't it feel the same to take a bath in hot water?

When Quake saw many people getting out of the water, he showed a comfortable expression, and he couldn't help but doubt himself a little.

At this moment, a waiter came to the hall, and said aloud:

"Hello everyone, it's time for the daily science popularization again, today's science popularization is still water ......"

This person was naturally arranged by Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng couldn't stand the fact that the people in Red Leaf City were all swishing, and he could make a lot of money by opening a bathhouse.

It is said that it is popular science, but in fact, there is nothing deep, it is a brief introduction to water first, and then through a few small stories - someone was seriously ill, but he immediately got better after taking a bath.

The story is a bit exaggerated, but after the waiter tells it vividly, it immediately makes people believe it.

After listening to this, everyone fell into deep thought, and some people were even a little eager to try.

Quake couldn't contain his curiosity, he gritted his teeth and said:

"That, waiter, waiter, I'll try it too!"

"Yes, what price do you need, we have ...... here?"

"Let's just have a general one, just the fifty copper coins."

"Okay, but since you're a first-time visitor, you can only use a single bath, so our price will increase by twenty percent, which means that it will take sixty copper coins."

"You...... Forget it, sixty is sixty! ”

Quake thought he was slaughtered, but he didn't care, it was only sixty copper coins, he could afford it, besides, it wouldn't be long before this Red Leaf City would be captured by their horse thieves, and everything that was spent would have to be recovered!

But when it was time to actually wash, Quake knew why he was left alone.

Quake watched as the water in the bath turned from clear to turbid.

It even turned into mud.

Looking at the crystal clear pools of others, Quake, who was a horse thief, blushed and embarrassed rarely.

……

"Quake, I'll just say, it's very comfortable to take a shower!"

At the entrance to the bathhouse, Lamb and Quake came out together.

Quake nodded in agreement, now he felt light, this is not simply a bath, but a clean lead!

"Shall we go to the tavern then?"

Lamb invited.

"Nope."

Quake shook his head.

Originally, he was going to go to the tavern, he had always heard that the wine here was very special, he had never heard of it, but now after taking a shower, Quake suddenly sobered up, he was a horse thief, he was not here to enjoy, but to find out the situation!

As long as you can occupy this red leaf city, are you afraid that you won't be able to enjoy it?

"Okay, then I'll go over on my own."

Lamb didn't say anything when he saw this, and he went to the tavern alone.

Quake watched him leave.

……

Two hours later.

After a variety of inquiries and speculations, Quake determined that the four horse thieves were dead.

Many soldiers saw the four corpses in the Black Stone Forest, and it was impossible for them to be full, and Zhang Feng did not let them hide it.

"The pioneers are dead!"

Although he guessed this possibility, after really confirming the news, Quake's face was still ugly.

The death of the four Pioneers means that his leader will be furious, and he may even suffer some damage, unless he can bring better news to the leader - for example, Red Leaf is a rich but defenseless city!

"No, I have to leave and report this news and the situation in Red Leaf City to the leader!"

Red Leaf Castle will close the city gates at night, and although these adobe walls can't stop him, he doesn't want to make trouble.

Quake disappeared into the crowd.

Meanwhile, Lamb crept to the third floor of the tavern.
