While they were talking, a cavalry army suddenly appeared in the west direction of the city, far away on the horizon.
The three of them naturally have excellent eyesight, and they can see the appearance of the cavalry even from a long distance away.
There are tens of thousands of these cavalrymen, all of them are well-equipped, their armors are bright, and their weapons are shining coldly. Even the mounts on their crotches are all kinds of strange beasts, with ferocious fangs in their mouths and a fierce look in their eyes.
This is an elite cavalry force, coming from a distance, kicking up dust all over the sky.
Wan Lei and the others watched for a while. The cavalry stopped ten miles west of the city and began to disperse freely and set up camp.
"Let's go, it's none of our business, go find Li Meixian."
Wan Lei shook his head and walked towards Jingxian City first.
The three of them quickly arrived at the city gate and lined up one by one, waiting to enter the city gate.
After waiting for a while, I walked a few steps forward and suddenly saw a commotion at the city gate.
"Why? Yesterday it was twenty dollars, how come it becomes fifty dollars today?"
"That's right, why are you raising the price for entering the city gate? Are you guards lining your pockets?"
"Now greed for money is becoming more and more blatant. The world is really in decline."
A man shouted at the city gate, and others immediately started making noises.
In fact, people are like this. When faced with oppression and no one takes the lead in resisting, everyone will hold their noses and admit it, obediently pay the money, and bow to the oppressor.
But when someone raises a question, it will immediately ignite the anger in their hearts and form a storm.
This price increase started in the morning, and now, it is already dark, and the city gate has always been in order. Until now, someone boldly raised this question, and someone immediately responded.
It is a bit exaggerated to say that a single spark can start a prairie fire. After all, it is just a small thing.
In Xirenjia's territory, although the upper class people like to be romantic and masculine, and men regard weakness and morbidity as their beauty, the people at the bottom are actually the same everywhere, they just want a belly wrap.
In the face of unreasonable oppression, they dare to speak out their voices.
But the bravery of ordinary people is only the courage of ordinary people. Even if they rebel and form a peasant army, they are definitely no match for the elite soldiers of this border city.
As expected, the guard at the door drew his knife and hacked to death the two leaders of the riot, and the remaining people immediately fell silent.
"Hang up their bodies." The guard officer directed the guards to drag the bodies aside, and then pointed to the people lining up at the door.
"Listen honestly to me, the price increase at the city gate is the order of the master of the attack family. If you dare to commit riot again, these two people will be your fate.
Line up one by one to enter the city!"
The guards' fierceness made the people who were clamoring just now line up obediently like quails that had been beaten by the wind and rain.
Regarding this scene, Wan Lei, Fang Xiaoyu and even the old man did not express any dissatisfaction.
This kind of thing is the same in any world.
The unscrupulous people will not listen to what you say, but if you raise your knife, they will immediately think that what you say makes sense.
If you scare them and say that I will chop you to death, they will not dare to resist.
But if you cut the knife down, or make these people deprived of food and starve to death, they will find that they will also use the knife.
This is not the case at the moment.
When they were lined up, Wan Lei threw a fire crystal generously, and the guard officer caught it flattered, nodded and bowed, and sent them into the city.
They only dare to bully the "tricksters". They are very sharp-eyed when it comes to adults with cultivation and do not dare to offend them at all.
The city is quite lively. Even at night, there is still an endless stream of people in this commercially developed city.
There were shouts and shouts on the roadside, the bargaining voices of small merchants and hawkers were rising and falling, orders for changing glasses of wine were heard from time to time in the restaurant, a few girls' smiles floated down from the brothel, and the old madam at the door shouted loudly
Come and play with this handsome boy.
Jingxian Restaurant in Jingxian City is not difficult to find. To be precise, since this restaurant dares to use the name of the city as its name, it shows their strength and status.
Yes,
This is government-run.
That is, Xirenjia's direct-operated store.
Jingxian Restaurant is located in the center of the city, with a restaurant in front and an inn in the back. It can be said that it occupies a prime position in this big city.
The prime location has its advantages, and the service is very good. As soon as they walked to the door, the clever waiter saw that the clothes and accessories on the young man and woman in front of him were not ordinary things. They must belong to a wealthy family.
This kind of injustice... No, this kind of big business, if the service is good, then it's not just a tip.
So, the waiter invited the three people in with enthusiasm that was almost kowtowing and calling grandparents.
"Jing Xianshuang comes to Shitan first."
After robbing the tomb, the old man spent a lot of money, unlike when he only dared to ask for two jars of wine in Meihuawu.
"Okay, Sir, please go upstairs and invite me. There is a private room there. Food and drinks will be brought to you immediately."
"Wait a moment."
Wan Lei attracted the old man and the waiter who hit it off instantly.
"Ask questions first."
"Sir, if you ask me, I should tell you everything I know."
Wan Lei looked at the old man.
The old man smiled sheepishly,
"The wine bug is on you, don't blame me, waiter, please step back."
After the waiter took two steps back, the old man stretched out his hand, and a wisp of red flame appeared in his palm. The flame rose up and gradually formed the image of a middle-aged monk.
The middle-aged monk had a slender figure and a handsome face. He was dressed in white clothes and holding a long sword. He looked like an elegant swordsman.
"Have you ever seen this man?"
"This... little one has been standing at the door greeting guests all day long for several years. Although he certainly can't remember the appearance of every guest, this hero is so handsome that he can be seen as a dragon or a phoenix among people at a glance.
If people have seen it, they will definitely remember it.”
"In other words, you haven't seen it."
Wan Lei had a black line on his head, and the waiter nodded,
"Then why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"If you just tell me you haven't seen it before, why don't you worry that you will turn around and leave? This is not a good word."
Wan Lei turned around and left.
"No, you're already here. The martial arts tournament won't start until a year later. We're not in a hurry. We'll take our time and have a drink first."
The old man shook his hand and took out a fire crystal and threw it to the waiter.
"Go, let's bring some good wine and good food."
However, the waiter looked embarrassed and kept smiling.
"Sir, our Jing Xianshuang wants two fire crystals per jar."
"So expensive?!"
The old man was stunned at first, then immediately pretended to be calm, took out thirty fire crystals and handed them over.
"Go to the ten altars first."
Wan Lei wanted to remind the old man that he had miscalculated, but the waiter mistakenly thought that the extra tip was a tip for him, so he happily took it and asked others to bring him wine.
