Li Xuan showed a hint of skepticism on his face, it was obvious that he didn't believe that such a small city could generate no less tax revenue than a large city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Xuan's expression was in Jeroy's eyes, but he just smiled and didn't explain anything.

"Hey, carriage over there, stop for a moment. Just as Li Xuan and their carriage were about to reach the city gate, a slightly immature voice came from behind a big tree in front of their carriage on the right.

Then, a little girl who looked to be about four or five years old came out from behind the tree and stopped in front of their carriage.

On the main road of Trines City, a team of four or five hundred people marched on it, and on the carriage at the front of the whole procession, a young man in black and an old man sat on either side, and between the two of them sat a little girl who looked to be only four or five years old.

The little girl had a pair of big blue eyes, like a sapphire, pure without a trace of impurities, revealing the innocence of a child, and from time to time there would be a flash of cunning.

Li Xuan leaned on the carriage door behind him and glanced at the little girl, with a trace of helplessness on his face, originally he thought that after experiencing Mira's incident, he would not trust people so easily, but when he saw Elena standing in front of the carriage in rags, coupled with her pitiful appearance, he still felt pity.

He kept comforting himself in his heart and said, "Not all people in this world have such deep hearts. ”

"Elena, why did you come to Trines City alone?" Looking at Elena, the little girl sitting on the carriage who was looking around curiously, Li Xuan asked with a smile.

When Elena heard Li Xuan ask her questions, she reluctantly withdrew her gaze, and smiled sweetly at Li Xuan: "Elena heard from her parents that the outside world is very interesting, so she came out to play, but those people are all good or bad, Elena has no money for them, they don't let Elena go into the city to play, it's better to be a brother, hehe." ”

Li Xuan knew that the people in Elena's mouth were referring to the city guards who were in charge of guarding the city gate, and Li Xuan also had no good impression of those people.

The members of the city guard who are in charge of the city gate have to do every day is to collect the city tax, although it is a very natural thing to enter the city to pay the city tax, just like having to pay for food, but everything has a workaround, and it is completely unnecessary to let a little girl who is only four or five years old pay the city tax, if she hadn't met Li Xuan this time, Elena might have to spend the night outside the city today.

Li Xuan looked at Elena with some reproach and said, "Aren't you afraid that your parents will worry when you run out to play alone, tell my brother where your home is, and I will send someone to send you back." ”

When Elena heard that Li Xuan was going to send someone to send her back, her little face immediately fell, she took Li Xuan's hand and shook it back and forth, and begged pitifully: "Brother, don't send Elena back, Elena hasn't played enough!"

"No, it's too dangerous for a four or five-year-old child to play outside. Li Xuan's face was pale, and he said without any room for negotiation.

"Then Elena will follow her brother, and her brother will take Elena around to play. Elena looked at Li Xuan with some smugness and smiled.

Li Xuan smiled helplessly: "I still have something to do, I don't have time to play with you, why don't I send someone to play with you for a few days, and then send you back?"

Seeing Li Xuan send her back without saying a word, Elena's face flashed a trace of unhappiness, and suddenly, she clutched her stomach and shouted: "Brother, brother, Elena is hungry, let's go eat!"

"Okay, let's go eat first, and I'll have someone send you back when I'm done." Li Xuan thought about it and it was almost time to eat, so he nodded.

Seeing that Li Xuan still wanted someone to send her back, Elena's face flashed with a hint of displeasure, and her big eyes rolled slightly, as if she was thinking about countermeasures.

Li Xuan and Geroy discussed it, and they decided to find an inn directly, which would be much more convenient, and they wouldn't have to have to worry twice about the food and accommodation of goblins, spider people, and barbarians.

In the west of the city, not far from the main road, they found a hotel that was not the best, but it was also at a medium level, but in order to let those goblins, spider people and barbarians also live together, Li Xuan paid ten times the rent, Li Xuan was also helpless, but compared to the other times, this time it was much smoother to solve it with money.

After arranging the food and accommodation of those slaves, Li Xuan went to the City Lord's Mansion alone, and when he was in Black Sand City, he already knew a little about the City Lord of Trines City, Mabel Blairs.

Mabel Blair is the brother of the current patriarch of the Blair family, a medium-sized family in the Holy Empire, Mabel has no talent in cultivation, he just became a one-star magician at the age of sixteen, it can be said that it is impossible to get ahead in this area, and his family also foresaw this, and gave up on him that year and sent him to a border town at will.

However, everyone did not expect that Mabel, who could be said to have no talent in cultivation, had an extraordinary talent in management, and it only took him four years to develop a backward border town into a much better than some prosperous towns, and its prosperity could even be compared with some small cities.

The patriarch of the Blairs family at the time, the father of the current patriarch of the family, Mabel's uncle, upon learning of the news, immediately recalled his family to reuse, and submitted an application to Emperor Kenny two years later to make Mabel the lord of Trines City.

Mabel was only twenty-two years old that year, and it stands to reason that he could not have become the lord of the city due to his age, but Kenny was also very interested in his managerial talents, and made an exception to appoint him as the lord of Trines City.

Because there were almost no wars in the Holy Empire, the city of Trines, which was located on the border line of the empire, was very backward, and it was a world of difference compared to the prosperity of the current city of Trines, which was at the bottom of some small cities at that time.

However, after more than 20 years of development in Mabel, although the current Trines City may not be able to compare with some big cities in some aspects, it is no worse than some first-class big cities if it is only compared with prosperity.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, that kid in black in front, are you deaf?"

As Li Xuan was thinking back to what Brast had told him about Mabel, the city lord of Trines City, an arrogant voice came from in front of him.

When he reacted and looked up, he found that a fast-running carriage was only two or three meters away from him, and he hurriedly pushed it to the side, narrowly avoiding it.

"Boy, you're looking for death!" Li Xuan had just avoided and had not yet stood firm, when the arrogant voice just now sounded again, accompanied by a leather whip.

"Smack......

Li Xuan, who hadn't had time to stand firmly, was sturdyly beaten with a leather whip behind his back, and this leather whip was pumped very hard, and his black robe and the clothes inside were cut with a big gap, leaving a long red blood mark on his back.

was whipped for no reason, even if a person with a good temper would run away, let alone Li Xuan, but when he turned around with anger on his face, the carriage also stopped, and a man in his thirties with an arrogant face walked down from above, after he saw Li Xuan's face full of anger, he immediately whipped at Li Xuan again, and at the same time scolded and scolded: "Little cub, what kind of expression is on your face, you dare to have such an expression when you startle your grandfather's horse, you can't find death." ”

Looking at the leather whip that was about to be drawn on him, a sneer flashed on Li Xuan's face, a mere six-star martial artist dared to be so arrogant, although he could guess that the other party must have something to rely on behind him, but today he didn't care what the other party had behind him, even if he was Kenny McCas's own father, he would make the other party regret it for the rest of his life today.

"Humph!"

Li Xuan snorted coldly, held the leather whip that was about to be drawn on him with his bare hands, glanced at the person opposite coldly, and said coldly: "Even a six-star martial artist dares to be so arrogant in front of me, is he really impatient?!"

The arrogant man saw that his leather whip was easily held by the other party, knowing that the other party's strength must be much higher than him, not only did his face not show a look of fear, but showed a trace of joy, he said proudly: "Boy, I am the personal entourage of the housekeeper of Nikador, today you obediently kneel down and say a few soft words, and let me smoke a few more whips, and I, Lord Udick, will spare you a lot, or let the housekeeper of Nikador know, you will not die well." ”

Although Udicka's own strength is not very good, but because he is more able to make sycophants, and he is also very tactful, he has won the trust of Nikador, and he relies on Nikador to support him behind his back.

Although Nicador is not a nobleman, as one of the three most respected stewards of Mabel, the city lord of Trines City, few people dare not give him face within the scope of Trines City, and it is precisely because of this that Udica will act so unscrupulously within the scope of Trines City.

"Nicador, don't know!" Li Xuan shook his head, and then said in a colder voice: "Don't say a Nicardor you don't know, even if you are Mabel's personal follower, you will not escape death today!"

"Boy, you...... You ......" Udicka pointed at Li Xuan with some horror and was speechless for a long time, and finally showed a trace of fear on his face.
