Chapter 355: Heavenly Source City
At sunset, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the city walls, stretching the shadows of everything very long.
It's a bustling city.
It was approaching evening, and the soldiers guarding the city gate were about to change the guard.
At this time, there are fewer people going out of the city and entering the city, and there is no need to guard anything.
So at this time, the soldiers were a little lax, sitting by the city gate, chatting while waiting for the arrival of the other soldiers who took their place.
At sunset, a white figure, sitting on a horse, galloped towards the city gate at a very fast speed.
When the lazy soldiers heard the movement, they looked back and were amazed!
This horse is too fast!
Although there were few people at the city gate at this time, after entering the city, there were still many residents walking in the streets.
If this horse is allowed to rush at this speed, I don't know how many innocent people it will hit!
As soon as the soldiers stood up, they felt as if a strong wind was blowing around them.
The wind and sand stopped, and a brown steed stopped in front of the city gate.
An older soldier shook off the sticky dirt on his body, and just wanted to scold, when he suddenly found that the sweat oozing from the horse's shoulder was as red as blood!
The old soldier hurriedly put back the curse words that had already come to his lips, hurriedly put on a smiling face, stepped forward and said, "This lord, when you enter this Tianyuan City, don't ride so fast." ”
Lin Yan, who was sitting on the brown horse, hugged his fists and said, "I'm really sorry, I have something urgent to hurry up below, and I will hurry up outside the city, this big brother can rest assured." ”
After speaking, Lin Yan looked up at the word "Tianyuan" on the city wall, and thought to himself, this is the town where the Tianli Sect's branch in the land of Qilu is located.
He moved his crotch, and the horse went up in the direction of the city gate.
It's just that this time it's slow.
After Lin Yan rode away, some young soldiers around him surrounded him and asked, "Why was you so polite to that young man just now?"
"Yes, yes, this is not like Brother Wang's character. ”
"If you don't take some money on weekdays, this kid won't want to enter the city!"
The old soldier surnamed Wang waved his hand, "Hey, so you're still too young." ”
He paused, and then said, "Do you see what kind of horse that young man is under the crotch just now?"
The soldiers shook their heads, and one of the outspoken soldiers muttered casually, "Isn't it just a fast horse, what's the big deal......?"
Before he could finish speaking, Lao Wang smiled, "It's just running fast, haven't you noticed the sweat of that horse? It's a bloody horse from the Western Regions! It is said that it is difficult to buy a ...... with money."
When everyone heard this, they were immediately attracted by the sweaty BMW in Lao Wang's mouth, "Brother Wang, what is a sweaty BMW?"
"Hey, sweat and blood BMW is ......"
......
Lin Yan entered the city, turned over and dismounted, inquired about passers-by, and walked straight in one direction.
At the door of a tavern, Lin Yan stopped.
Tying the horse in a position that would not interfere with the walking, he strode into the tavern.
"Guest, but you are here to drink, our store has good wine and food, good quality and low price, and there is no ...... for children."
As soon as Lin Yan entered the door, a shopkeeper ran up to greet him.
He looked at the tavern, which was full of people and seemed to be doing a good business.
Lin Yan remembered what Li Shiyi had told him before he left that the Tianli Sect had a great sphere of influence in Shu, but outside of Shu, most of the branches occupied by the Tianli Sect used legitimate business to cover the identity of the Tianli Sect.
These branches in the field are not at all used to take on assignments.
Their role is to find out some information and complete some simple tasks from Shu.
There are really that kinds of tasks that require very tricky tasks, and they are all sent by the headquarters of Shudi, and these branches serve as answers.
There are even many other branches, which can maintain their own expenses with legitimate business on the surface, plus the silver taels distributed by the headquarters every year, their funds are extremely sufficient.
Lin Yan didn't take care of the shopkeeper, he knew that most of the junior workers in this kind of tavern were hired locally as long-term workers, and they had no contact with the affairs of the Tianli Sect at all.
Lin Yan's eyes looked at the counter not far away, and there was a middle-aged man standing inside the table, looking at the accounts on the counter with his left hand, and making calculations with his right hand.
From this middle-aged man's body, Lin Yan felt a fluctuation of internal force, and he knew that the person he was looking for was this middle-aged man.
After a few steps to the counter, Lin Yan looked at the people standing in the counter and said, "Is there anything else in the wine?"
The middle-aged man raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, "Isn't there only wine in the wine?"
"Can you fill in something?"
"That's expensive. ”
"How expensive?"
"Three taels of gold, three taels of silver. ”
"Five taels of gold, five taels of silver or not?"
"The Celestial Cycle?"
"And so on. ”
Lin Yan and the middle-aged man spoke extremely fast, and they both lowered their voices, and the tavern was full of people, and no one cared about what the two of them said.
When Lin Yan finished answering the last sentence, the middle-aged man hurriedly walked out of the counter, clasped his hands into fists and said, "Dare to ask which one is from the family?"
Lin Yan reached into his arms, took out the pitch-black token that Li Shiyi gave him from his arms, shook it in front of the middle-aged man's eyes, and immediately put it away.
Although Lin Yan's movements were fast, it was enough for the middle-aged man to see clearly, and the middle-aged man's face changed, and he hurriedly bent down and said: "The sect leader's envoy is here, there is a long way to welcome, forgive the sin, please move inside." ”
After speaking, he called a guy next to him, and the guy stood in the counter very cleverly and counted the accounts on behalf of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man turned to Lin Yan and said respectfully, "My lord, please." ”
The reason why Lin Yan first made an incision code with this middle-aged man, and then took out a token representing his identity, this is the rule of Tianli Sect, and it can also give middle-aged people a chance to buffer their hearts.
Otherwise, people were settling accounts in the branch, and suddenly someone came and directly took out a token of the sect leader to show him, which was a bit too sudden.
Lin Yan followed the middle-aged man to a quiet room, and the two sat down.
Only then did the middle-aged man speak: "My lord is here this time, is there anything that the villain can help?"
