He Xie shook his head: "This is an insult to me, Bud. ”

With a slight twist of his wrist, another piece of gold suddenly appeared in his palm, and he tossed it in his palm, casually tossing it to Bard in his stunned eyes.

"I think you must have a way for me to pass through Changhu Town openly, and nothing unpleasant will happen," He Xie said with a smile, "I can see that you are a very methodical person. ”

Bard clutched the gold, falling silent, a grief flashing in his eyes.

By the time he caught the gold, he had lost the courage to refute.

"You can't talk when you enter town." Bard said in a deep voice.

"Listen to you." He Xie smiled, he turned around, and said as if unintentionally: "I have children, I know what it is like to be a father, for them, I can carry the whole world, this is great, and it deserves to be respected, at least I think so." ”

Bard looked at He Xie's back in a daze, and the vigilance in his eyes unconsciously faded a little.

The town of Long Lake is a small water town surrounded by high walls to defend against foreign enemies.

However, judging from the number of patrols and guards on the city walls, the security here is not very tight, but the toll bridge at the entrance is arranged with more than 20 guards.

As Bard crossed the bridge, he was harassed by a man named Alfred, who had apparently been at odds with each other before.

Alfred tried to order the guards to arrest He Xie several times, but was stopped by Bard.

Not knowing what Bard said to him, Alfred showed a look of resentment and jealousy, and finally let him go.

"I told the guards that you are my deceased wife's cousin, and that you are going to the Iron Hills to do ore business with the dwarves, and if anyone interrogates you, don't show your stuff." Back on the boat, Bard whispered as he rocked the oar, "I'll have to accompany you for all your purchases later, you can only stay here until noon, and I'll see you out of town myself." ”

He didn't want to cause trouble.

But trouble still came unexpectedly.

Just as Ho Xie bought a good horse and had just paid for it, Alfred and his guards surrounded him and Bard.

"Oh oh! Quietly, what do I see? Alfred approached with a smug smile and looked at the piece of gold in the horse-dealer's hand with a greedy look in his eyes.

He stepped forward, snatched the gold from the horse dealer's hand, and then pulled him aside, and the horse dealer hastened to the side with a look of fear in his eyes.

"Fred! What are you doing? Bard asked angrily.

Alfred stroked the gold in his hand, as if he was holding the chest of the girl of his first love, so fascinated, so intoxicated.

"This piece of gold belongs to the mayor," he said slowly, "it should have been in the drawer of the mayor's room, but now it's in the hands of your cousin, the so-called ore merchant, Bud, maybe you should give me an explanation why you brought a despicable thief?" ”

"This is a shameful slander!" Bud was furious, "We've never been to the mayor's room!" ”

"Who can prove it?" Alfred smiled sheepishly, "But I can find many witnesses to prove that this piece of gold belongs to the mayor, and ......"

He looked at He Xie with ill will, and the greed in his eyes became even stronger: "Maybe this thief has stolen more!" ”

He suddenly pointed at He Xie, and his face sank and shouted, "Search his body for me!" ”

As soon as the words fell, several guards immediately sneered and walked towards He Xie.

"Stop!" Bard shouted angrily and stopped in front of He Xie, "Fred, you're asking for trouble!" I want to see the mayor! ”

Alfred walked up to Bard, smiled contemptuously, grabbed him by the collar and said disdainfully, "You'll meet Mayor Mare, but in a filthy and shady prison, as a fellow thief." ”

"You ......" Bard couldn't believe his ears.

Alfred leaned into his ear and whispered, "Perhaps I should tell you that the mayor found out that his gold was missing, and that he saw a bastard with black eyes and yellow skin steal his gold. ”

With that, he sneered and took two steps back, waved his hand, and said, "Arrest this shameful fellow thief!" ”

"No, you can't do that, you're going to bring disaster to Long Lake Town!" Bard shouted anxiously, he turned his head sharply to look at He Xie, and shook his head desperately, "No, give me a little time, I can solve it." ”

He Xie smiled at him in return, "I believe in your abilities, Bud, but I don't like to use your way, so, I'm sorry." ”

Before he finished speaking, two guards had already stepped forward, one left and one right, reaching out to grab He Xie's collar.

However, in the next moment, they lost the figure of He Xie in front of them.

Everyone present was dazzled, and they saw that He Xie was already standing in front of Alfred.

"You like gold?" He Xie asked with a smile.

Alfred was still stunned, and he hadn't reacted yet.

"Then you should eat it." He Xie laughed, grabbed him by the collar, and with a flick of his wrist, snatched the piece of gold back from his hand, and shoved it into Alfred's mouth.

"Woo......"

Alfred had just had time to show a frightened expression, when He Xie gently slapped the back of his hand on the top of his head, and he immediately swallowed the gold.

"Is there enough to eat?" He Xie asked with a smile, "Good things come in pairs, then let's have another piece." ”

With that, he flipped his wrist and put another piece of gold in his hand, and shoved it into Alfred's mouth again, forcing him to swallow it too.

"Click......" Alfred's eyes protruded, his forehead was bruised, his face was distorted, and he pressed his throat desperately, looking very painful.

He Xie pushed him to the ground and clapped his palms.

Turning his head to look around, he asked lightly, "Your mayor, do you also like gold?" ”

The guards looked at each other, and the next moment, they all roared in unison, drew their swords and rushed towards He Xie.

"Hahaha......" He Xie suddenly laughed and jumped up, and in a few leaps, he disappeared in place.

"No ......" Bard covered his face helplessly, and everyone was in an uproar.

"He's a wizard, he can fly, he flew away!" Someone screamed in terror.

No one could have imagined that Bard would bring a wizard.

......Alfred, who had fallen to the ground, had begun to convulse, blood gushing from his mouth, rolling his eyes, reaching forward and grasping as if trying to grasp something.

"He's hopeless unless he cuts open his stomach." Bard glanced at Alfred and sighed.

"So what now?" One of the guards whispered, "Alfred is dead, the wizard has fled, how do we explain to the mayor?" ”

They looked at each other, and suddenly all eyes fell on Bud.

The man looked like a sheep.

Scapegoat.
