Chapter 187: Into the City

After lunch, Xu Shuo and his party began to set off for River City.

In the team, in addition to Toshio and Lilian, there are also Xiaotian and Baozi. Both are children, Xiaotian is 12 years old and Baozi is 13 years old.

In fact, there are no other older children in the village, but the reason for still choosing these two people is: Xiaotian has severe diarrhea and needs to go into the city to see the priest, while Baozi is a clever brain, and it is said that he has performed miraculous feats when he went to the city, helping everyone get rid of the pursuit of the thief arrest team, and now he is a regular member of the team entering the city.

The group of five did not go on the road empty-handed, and before leaving the village, Toshio folded dozens of handmade horses on their backs, put a basket of pimples on their heads, and tied several stacks of animal furs with branches on their armsโ€”it was rare to go into the city, and these were to be sold in the city. Although several people said that they didn't need to help, Xu Shuo and Lilian still insisted on sharing half of the goods.

After walking for two hours and resting twice, Xu Shuo and Lilian met the river city in the mouth of Junxiong and others.

The city wall of the river city is made of stone and loess, three or four stories high, the width of the two sides can not be seen at a glance, both solemn and magnificent, the gate is guarded by the silver helmet guards who are fully armed with swords on their waists, and there are archers walking back and forth on the city wall, which can be described as heavily guarded, and the guard specifications are higher than the Beidou Town that Xu Shuo saw before, I don't know how many levels are higher. Is there really anyone willing to take a bribe for such a city gate?

Toshio came to the city and found a man with a different armor style than the rest of the guardsโ€”it was a man with very thick eyebrows, but unfortunately his eyes were not large, if you want to describe them as thick eyebrows and small eyes, it was really not very pleasing just by looking at his appearance.

Thick eyebrows took the silver coin handed by Junxiong, and turned his head to look at Xu Shuo and the others.

"Why are so many people here? As I said, you can only get four. โ€

"Sir, that man doesn't come in, he's just helping us carry something." Junxiong pointed at Xu Shuo and said with a grin.

Thick eyebrows nodded.

"What did you bring this time?"

"It's the same as before, sir, it's a pimple bag, some furs, and our own hand-woven maza." Toshio put down the basket above his head, turned around again, and introduced them one by one.

Thick eyebrows flipped through the basket.

"You don't have a weapon, do you?" Thick eyebrows asked.

"No, no, we know the rules." Junxiong said with a sneer.

"No matter what, I still have to search my body, and the top has been strictly investigated recently, don't make trouble for me."

As he spoke, he began to search Junxiong's body, then Baozi and Xiaotian, and finally when it came to Lilian, Junxiong and the others couldn't help but get nervous - in order to allow Xu Shuo to launch [Stealing Blade] into the city, Lilian's body actually brought a short knife. Toshio didn't say that he might be searched, but Lilian said that she had a way, but as for what the solution, she didn't elaborate.

But having said that, Lilian's expression at the moment was not so calm, obviously a little flustered, and when the thick-eyebrow hand reached out to Lilian, Liliane also subconsciously took a step back, this move of three hundred taels of silver here really made the rest of the teammates present sweat.

Fortunately, the thick eyebrows seemed to have misunderstood something, he retracted his hand, picked up a branch from the ground, and said to Lilian, "I'll use this, don't touch you, okay?" โ€

With that, he took the branch and struck it on Lilian's body, with a look of bated breath, as if he could tell from the tapping of the branch whether he had touched the iron object. He knocked on Lilian's arm, then on his waist, on his back, and finally on the inside and outside of his leg, and found nothing to show him, so he let him go.

Seeing Lilian enter the city, Xu Shuo breathed a sigh of relief.

After about three minutes, Xu Shuo used the thief blade to move to the city as agreed.

After entering the city, Xu Shuo found himself in an alley, Lilian was standing in front of him with a flushed face, and Junxiong Xiaotian and Baozi were both facing away from this side, and Baozi was still asking, "Okay?" โ€

"What are you doing?" Xu Shuo asked suspiciously.

"No, nothing." Lilian was a little flustered, she turned to Toshio and the others and said, "You can turn around." โ€

Baozi was the first to turn around, still complaining, "What's the matter, it's mysterious...... Hey, Xu Shuo, how did you get in?! โ€

Xu Shuo looked at Baozi and the others, then at Lilian, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's okay to let them know about the Blade Stealing Blade, right?" โ€

Lilian blushed and shook her head, and said in a thin voice, "No, it's not for them to turn around......"

"That's ...... Uh......"

Xu Shuo looked at Lilian's somewhat untidy neckline, and then looked at the short knife in his hand that was still warm, and suddenly understood something.

(If I teleported thirty seconds earlier......!!) ๏ผ‰

Xu Shuo had an incredible image in his mind, and he hurriedly patted his head to expel the strange thoughts.

At this time, Toshio stepped forward and said, "Next we are going to sell goods, you are going to do your business, right?" Then make an appointment to gather here at six o'clock tonight, Xu Shuo, it doesn't matter if you come or not, Lilian, you must come, if it is not four people when you go out, we will be in big trouble, I hope you don't live up to our trust. โ€

"No, don't worry, I'll be here then." Lilien said in a sonorous voice.

"I'll come too, just believe us, we're not the kind of people who break their promises, and Miao Zhen is still in the village." Xu Shuo said.

Toshio nodded and said, "By the way, if you see guys in black uniforms on the street, remember to avoid them, and don't look at them if you can't avoid them, it's a picket, and it's over when the thieves meet them." โ€

"Got it." Xu Shuo said.

"So be it, see you at six o'clock in the evening."

After Junxiong finished instructing, he took Xiaotian and the bun and left, taking all the goods to sell.

Lilian and Xu Shuo glanced at each other and walked out of the alley together.

River City is really a big city, at least compared to Chewa City. The streets are wide, the streets are crowded with horse-drawn carriages, the average height of the buildings is about three storeys, most of them are made of brick, and many of the facades are painted orange or beige. The clothes in the street clothes are shiny, the girls selling flowers on the street are shouting and shouting, the smell of the delicatessen is wafting around, and the passers-by are hurrying.

The sights in front of you are all a sign of the city's prosperity.

Xu Shuo saw a shop selling fried noodles and steamed buns on the street, his eyes were uncontrollably straight, and the gluttonous worms in his stomach were jumping desperately.

Seeing this, Lilian asked, "Does Mr. Xu Shuo want to eat?" I'm going to buy it for you, right? โ€

Xu Shuo shook his head.

"No... No, let's find the Adventurer's Guild first, Miao really matters. โ€
