Chapter 100: A Little Thing
It's night, the veil of the night is quietly falling, and the official road, which is usually quiet, is a little noisy at this time, probably because of the mystery of the night, which makes people living in the light a little uneasy. There was a long queue on the official road, although it did not occupy the entire official road, but at least there were a dozen or so wagons full of goods were lining up helplessly, and the carriage that Qin Chen was riding was in the fourth place, and in front of it, there were three wagons carrying goods being inspected by the city guards, obviously from the same shop. I don't know if it's because of the excessive pressure exerted by the above, but the usually lazy city defenders are meticulous at this time, and they can't wait to turn the three wagons over.
"Tsk, are those defenders so serious? In this long time, Mu Li waited a little impatiently, so she simply got off the car to breathe in the fresh air outside the carriage, and casually looked at what those checkpoints were all about, but what she didn't expect was that the city guards who should be perfunctory in her cognition were extremely serious, although it was for the sake of safety, but it was inevitably a little too serious, and Mu Li finally knew why the driving speed was rare like a snail.
"Well, after all, it was because there was a problem with the guards of the city gate that the female assassin was allowed to sneak into the main city of Loro, and what is even more ridiculous is that the city wall will be destroyed without anyone noticing, which makes them so nervous about the inspection of the level. It was Yuan Mingming who spoke, and he was worried when he saw Mu Li leaving the carriage, so Yuan Mingming also got off the car with him, and the breeze at night was slightly cool, so that the two people who had just left the carriage couldn't help but shiver.
"Why are you coming out? The young master should stay in the carriage obediently. Don't go outside such a dangerous car. It wouldn't be nice if you accidentally died. "Turn around. Mu Li looked at Yuan Mingming's eyes with a sincere face, and said quite sincerely. Some reproachful questions, sincere and frank admonitions, as if this qiē is out of concern. But after such words came into the carriage and into Qin Chen's ears, they caused Qin Chen to laugh in a forced voice, which was uncontrollable, and he thought while laughing. Mu Li, this girl, actually began to tease the innocent boy of Silence.
"Xiaoli, are you caring about me?" As soon as the words fell, Qin Chen, who was sitting in the carriage, finally couldn't hold back his laughter, and laughed heartily, and there was a big grinning sound in the silence, which caused the rest of the people in the carriage to boo and make it even more noisy, this is not a thing, what made Mu Li laugh heartily was that when he said this, Yuan Mingming actually looked serious. His eyes twinkled with expectation.
When Mu Li recovered from the laughter, he patted Yuan Xiaoming's shoulder. While wheezing, he said, "I won't care about you, fool......!"
In this brief conversation and laughter, the three wagons in front of them have also completed their strict inspection and are reloading the goods. Seeing this, Mu Li and Yuan Mingming outside the car did not delay, and quickly returned to the carriage, waiting for the next inspection. Feeling the carriage moving slowly, Qin Chen still held his chin and looked out the window, if nothing else, his group would not need to be inspected and go directly to the level, so Qin Chen didn't worry about things like setting up the level, in contrast, Qin Chen was more concerned about Ling Yu's intentions. In Ling Yu's words, what Qin Chen felt was not a matter of course, according to common sense, it was just ordinary that it was impossible to get a reward for the competition, because being able to come back alive in this competition was already the biggest reward. Starting from the premise of Luo Longchuan's intentions, then the so-called reward is most likely the prize contributed by the Jinling Chamber of Commerce or Ling Yu privately. Then you can think like this, the Jinling Chamber of Commerce or Ling Yu wants to take advantage of the just-concluded hunting competition to absorb talents worthy of cultivation to work hard for them, because the winner has already been booked by the City Lord's Mansion, so the only way to take a step back is to choose the participating hunters who have successfully passed the guò competition.
"Hey, the people in the carriage get off the train for me, according to the order of the City Lord's Mansion, all carriages entering the city must be inspected, get off quickly!" Suddenly, the slow-moving carriage was forced to stop, and then a loud shout came out of the carriage, irresistibly ordering Qin Chen and the others, something happened, even the horseman who was driving did not expect that the mere guards of the city would dare to openly stop the carriage used by the Jinling Chamber of Commerce to receive distinguished guests, and couldn't help frowning, staring at the defender of the city without saying a word, his indifferent eyes were filled with a rich haze, and it seemed that the slightest carelessness would sweep everyone into the abyss.
"I'm the hired groom of the Golden Feather Chamber of Commerce in the main city of Loro, the Loro Branch, and this carriage is carrying the honored guests of the elder, I don't know if I need to accept your search now?" "If it's all right, can you let us go into the city?" said the groom, pointing to the gate of the city.
The guards in charge of setting up the checkpoints glanced at each other, and then a soldier who seemed to be the leader of the city guards walked up, the one who came was tall and sturdy, and looked down at the groom with a condescending attitude, "So, it means that there are some ulterior secrets hidden in the car?" Hehehe, the city lord said that even the vehicles of Luofu should be checked, let alone the cars of your Jinling Branch? You two, open the door of the car and invite the 'distinguished guests' inside!" As soon as the words fell, the two soldiers who followed behind the leader of the city guard rushed to the door of the carriage, raised the halberd in their hands, and raised it straight ahead. Before they could attack, the door opened......
Qin Chen gently pushed the car door and stepped out of the car dignified and elegant, the lilac silk skirt fluttering in the wind, even if it was dark night, it was difficult to stop its nobility. "I don't know what the adults are looking for us, what are you doing?" As he spoke, Qin Chen and the other four had completely left the carriage and stood side by side. "That's it, we're like this, we have a clear view, it should allow us to enter the main city, right?"
"Yo, two nice girls. Captain, there is something wrong with these two girls. The two soldiers defending the city looked at the four faces reflected in the lamplight, and finally locked their eyes on Qin Chen and Mu Li, looking them up and down without hesitation. The elegance of a lady's show, the cuteness of a small jasper, and the pleasant fragrance of delicate skin all made the two soldiers defending the city look up, and after glancing at each other, they shouted at the leader of the soldiers in a meaningful tone.
"Oh, then take it. The leading soldiers defending the city glanced at Qin Chen and Mu Li, and suddenly their hearts were moved, and they swallowed a mouthful of saliva quietly, pretending to be calm and ordered. As soon as the words fell, a strong wind suddenly hit, but for some reason, it was just a little chill on the face, and nothing big happened. In the dark, Qin Chen grabbed Yuan Wei's wrist tightly, and the white spider silk wrapped around Yuan Wei's fist, and kept increasing and superimposing.
Yuan Mingming may have been involved in the world and had never noticed the meaning of the soldiers guarding the city, but after hearing that Luo Qinchen and Mu Li had a problem, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, at a loss, while Mu Li was at a loss and didn't know what was going on. Silent Ming and Mu Li didn't know the current situation, it didn't mean that Qin Chen and Yuan Wei didn't know either, but Qin Chen didn't have Yuan Wei's impulse, just kept signaling him to calm down, silently waiting for the opportunity. Yuan Wei didn't know why Qin Chen stopped him many times, but he trusted Qin Chen's judgment unusually, so he forcibly restrained his actions with full anger.
"You three, don't you take me seriously?" Just when the two soldiers guarding the city were about to catch Qin Chen and Mu Li, the horseman, who was originally watching coldly, suddenly burst out with this sentence, "How dare the junior be so rude to the person I was ordered to protect in front of me? Obviously, your dog owner has no way to train him." As soon as the words fell, the three soldiers defending the city suddenly turned their bodies to the groom, who was still hunched over and crossed his hands behind his back, and the long halberd shining with cold light pointed directly at the groom, ready to attack.
"Sure enough, it's a watchdog, it's a watchdog, and it's useless except to bark when there's something to do. It's really embarrassing for the City Lord's Mansion to cultivate you~" The horseman shook his head helplessly, and sighed thoughtfully, as if he was heartbroken for the appearance of the juniors. "That's it, just let me, a groom from the Golden Feather Chamber of Commerce, train you well for your dog owner. As soon as the words fell, I saw a phantom figure pulled out from behind the groom and walked towards the soldiers defending the city, seemingly slow, but none of the three halberds that stabbed at the groom succeeded, and they stabbed into the air. Walking in front of the soldiers defending the city, he raised his hand slightly, and slowly fell, followed by three clattering fracture sounds, followed by a clangling crash. It turned out that at that moment, at that moment when he gently raised his hand and let go, the groom folded all the upper arm bones of the right hand of the defenders of the city, which was beyond doubt.
"Ahh!!!!h Shocked, the people on the other carriages who were waiting in line for checkpoint inspection got out of the car to inspect the situation, and for a while, all kinds of discussions were boiling and noisy.
"I'm sorry I didn't handle it well and frightened you. Now please get in the car, let's reach the Jinling branch as much as possible, I think the elder is already impatient to wait. Hearing this, Qin Chen and the others did not delay, returned to the carriage, and with a roar of horses, the carriage carrying Qin Chen's four people moved again, and the sound of horses' hooves was quite regular, driving through the city gate and into the city, and gradually moving away towards the Luoluo branch of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce. (To be continued......)
