Chapter 42: Chen Min
Zhu Jue and the three of them cheered at the city gate for a long time, until they attracted the strange eyes of passers-by, and then they stopped. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Qiushui walked in front with a spirit, took out a folding fan from the package, and walked towards the city in a graceful manner. Zhu Jue saw it and said disdainfully: "I don't forget to be handsome wherever I go, and I actually brought a prop." After speaking, he also followed with Lin Lin. The three of them mingled in the crowd and swaggered into the city gate. The moment he entered the city, Zhu Jue felt that his whole body was swept through, as if he was standing naked in front of others. Although there was also this experience in Red Rock City, this time it was much more intense. He saw that Lin Lin and Qiushui's expressions were not very natural, especially Lin Lin, whose cheeks were a little crimson, presumably enjoying the same treatment as himself, while those ordinary people were expressionless and didn't seem to feel this stubble at all.
Walking into the city gate, there is a huge circular square in front of you. Many people who have traveled long distances have come here to rest. In the center of the square is a bronze statue of an old man, holding a scroll in his hand, with a lush beard, wearing a robe, and a amiable face.
"This is the founder of our Rain Country, and the first Rain Emperor, everyone calls him Rain Master. Lin Lin said. Zhu Jue and Qiushui nodded, but they didn't stay here for long, but continued to walk inside, thinking about finding an inn first.
The entire rain city is distributed in an encircled manner, and the outermost circle is the commercial area, where all kinds of goods and commodities are traded. Not long after walking out of the square, Zhu Jue and others came to the bustling street. Unlike Red Rock, the buildings here are relatively tall, almost all of them are more than three floors, probably because of the dense population of the capital. Compared to the outside of the city, the real variety of goods here is dazzling. The shouting sound rang in my ears from time to time, and I saw all kinds of jewels and jadeite, pendants and ornaments on the street stalls, shining under the illumination of the lights, which made people a little dazzled. There are also a variety of delicious snacks, exuding bursts of pungent aroma, just a light inhalation, can hook the soul of passers-by.
Lin Lin is a girl after all, she can't help it when she arrives here, she almost stops after walking a few steps, buys some small things, and carries a lot of packages in her hand after a while. Qiushui has a heavenly evil, but he has reduced his interest in weapons, but he was born in Blackwater City since he was a child, and he has never seen the world, so he keeps looking around at the moment, so he can brag to others in the future. Zhu Jue drooled, bought some street food from time to time, and gave a thumbs up there every time he tasted it. In this way, several people stopped and stopped, and they didn't go far for a long time.
"Look!" Suddenly, Zhu Jue saw a storefront on the side of the road, which, unlike other shops, did not sell anything. When I got closer, I saw a plaque hanging under the eaves, with the words "Escort Tryout Registration Office" written on it. Everyone looked at each other and immediately ran over excitedly.
When I walked into the registration office, I saw that it was empty, only a table and a chair, and an old man who was close to his sixtieth birthday was sitting there and napping.
"Uncle, we're here to participate in the tryouts, so let's register here. Qiushui walked to the table and said respectfully to the old man. Who knew that the old man was snoring, but he didn't react in the slightest. He said it several times in a row, and finally he lost his patience, put his mouth to the old man's ear, and yelled, "Hey!"
The old man was so startled that he almost fell out of his chair. He stabilized his body and saw Qiushui standing in front of him with a smile: "Uncle, report your name!"
The old man glanced at Qiushui and said impatiently, "Bring the letter of recommendation." ā
Now it was Qiushui's turn and they were dumbfounded. Lin Lin smiled awkwardly on the side: "Uncle, I don't know what the recommendation letter you refer to is?"
The old man glared at them and said, "Do you think that anyone can participate in this selection competition? You don't know anything, so you just came here?" Qiushui looked at each other for a while, all a little at a loss.
"Old man, can you be accommodating? We have been walking for more than a month to get here, so we can't just let us go back. Zhu Jue pleaded. But the old man seemed to have a grudge against the fact that Qiushui had just woken him to sleep, and shook his head there solemnly. In this way, Qiushui refused to leave without registering their names, while the old man was resolute and refused to give in to anything, and several people were stuck there.
"Yo, there are so many people. Suddenly, a man came slowly through the door. I saw that this person had immature skin, clear eyes, red lips and white teeth, a fair face, and a high nose bridge. When the old man saw him, he changed his indifferent appearance before, ran up with a fart, and arched his hand: "What kind of wind blew our Deputy Captain Chen here?"
"I happened to be passing by on patrol, so I bought some fruit to see your old man's house. The boy said with a smile.
"You, your current status is not the same as before, I am happy enough to come and see me, how can I buy any fruit. The old man touched his beard, and his eyes narrowed into slits.
The young man put the fruit aside and turned his head to look at Zhu Jue and the others: "If I guessed correctly, a few of them should have come to sign up for the trials, right?"
Qiushui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "Exactly." ā
"They, they don't even have a letter of recommendation, and they still refuse to leave. You're just in time to blast them all out. The old man curled his lips and said with some disdain.
"Oh, there's no recommendation, it's going to be difficult...... the boy rubbed his chin with a troubled expression.
"Who is this person, he will be young next year, but this old man is so enthusiastic about him, it seems that his identity is very unusual. Qiushui whispered in Lin Lin's ear. Who knew that the old man's ears were sometimes dull, sometimes they were extremely sensitive, and he listened to all the words that Qiushui said. The old man coughed dryly, glanced at Qiushui, and said lightly: "This is the deputy captain of our Yucheng Escort Team, and his subordinates are in charge of more than 100 elites, if you want to join the Escort Team, you don't even know yourself, it's ridiculous." ā
When Qiushui heard this, his body was stunned for a moment, and he looked at the young man with a shocked face. In his opinion, this person was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was even younger than himself, but at this age, he could actually become the deputy captain of the dignified Rain City Guard, if he didn't have a deep background, he was talented. If it's the latter, it's not an exaggeration to call it a demon, it seems that the world outside is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.
"Under Chen Min. The young man saw Qiushui staring at him, and bowed his hand politely.
Qiushui also realized his gaffe, grabbed his hair awkwardly, hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Qiushui, this is my friend Zhu Jue, and Lin Lin." We came all the way from Blackwater City to participate in the selection of the escort team, but we were not allowed to sign up here. Since you're the deputy captain of the escort team, I wonder if you can be accommodating?"
Chen Min looked embarrassed: "There are rules on this, and I can't change them at will." As he spoke, he moved his gaze to Lin Lin, and said "Huh" at the moment. Lin Lin saw Chen Min looking at him, and said a little overwhelmed: "Vice captain, what's wrong?"
"This young lady, can you have something to do with Lin Yuan in Red Rock City?" asked Chen Min.
"Ah, Lin Yuan is my father, what, do you know him?. Lin Lin and Qiushui glanced at each other and hurriedly replied.
Chen Min smiled: "I said how do you look so similar, I have had a few encounters with your father, and I can be regarded as acquaintances." Since you are Master Lin's daughter, things are much easier. Uncle Zhang, you can report their names, and it will be counted as a quota in Red Rock City. I still have some things, so I will take my leave. After saying that, he bowed to the crowd and left. The old man slowly walked behind the table, opened the drawer, and took out three bracelets from it and handed them to Zhu Jue.
"Ten days later, Arena, don't be late. The old man raised his head, stroked his beard, and said to the three of them.
"Yes!"
