Chapter 25: Go Out of the City to Loose Cultivators
The large amount of rewards was not exchanged for the joy of a letter of thanks, just because the noise downstairs was getting louder and louder, and it was obvious that the defenders had intensified their search for him.
Not long after, there were knocks on the door downstairs, and the shopkeeper quickly went out to deal with it.
At this moment, Xie Xin was silently lying on the bed, pretending to be asleep. If he was discovered at any time, he would fight his way out of Pingyu City tonight.
But the noise didn't last long, and calm returned to downstairs.
Xie Xin did not expect that Yuelai Inn was so powerful that it could make the soldiers who came to search leave directly.
Could it be that the rumors that there is definitely a boss with a powerful background behind the national chain company are correct?
While Xie Xin was thinking about it, some guests were already awakened and came downstairs to ask what happened.
The store owner told the whole story with a smile, and assured the guests that no more officers and soldiers would come to disturb everyone, so that everyone could have a good rest.
Some people didn't believe it, and hurried back to their rooms, perhaps planning to leave Pingyu tomorrow; some might understand the energy of Yuelai Inn, so they just smiled and returned to the guest rooms; some even spent the whole day in panic, worrying whether they would be
Innocent implicated.
Just one search by officers and soldiers allowed Xie Xin to see the human world in miniature.
But since he had nothing to do, he just sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the spirit stones and started practicing.
A night's practice has increased Xie Xin's Qi a lot. Although he cannot reach the seventh level of Qi training, he is not far away from the seventh level.
The next day, just as Xie Xin expected, the whole city was under martial law.
The acting prefect issued an announcement that the thieves who assassinated the prefect had no trace of leaving Pingyu City, so the city was closed for five days for the search, hoping that the residents would cooperate.
Naturally, public dissatisfaction boiled over when this announcement came out, especially among the big businessmen. If the goods were not resold as soon as possible, not to mention the low prices, once the goods that were not easy to preserve were broken on the road, they would suffer big losses!
And the local people who go to the city to buy rice, sell firewood, sell game, and sell homespun cloth are also miserable. They don't have that much money to live in a hotel, how can you let them live for five days?!
"Shopkeeper, do you have time to say a few words?" Xie Xin finished his breakfast and went directly to the counter.
"Your Majesty, please tell me." The shopkeeper is still calculating the accounts, and he doesn't know what the accounts are. He needs to calculate them every day.
"I want to leave Pingyu City today, is there any way?" Xie Xin approached the shopkeeper and whispered.
"The guest officer has asked the wrong person. He has to go out of the city to find the officer. How can an inn like ours, which is run with a small budget, have the ability?" The shopkeeper smiled and still buried his head in settling the accounts.
"Shopkeeper, please be a pleasure! Just tell me how much you want!" Xie Xin said with a frown.
"With ten gold dollars, you can have a certain chance of getting out of the city." The shopkeeper said without raising his head.
"Here are twenty gold dollars. I am leaving Pingyu City today!" Xie Xin handed over a package.
The shopkeeper took it as if nothing had happened, glanced at it casually, and put the package under the counter.
"Er Gouzi, why haven't the meats been restocked today?" the shopkeeper shouted towards the back hall as if nothing had happened.
A strong man walked in quickly, walked up to the shopkeeper, whispered a few words to him, and then the shopkeeper handed him a small package of things.
"This new guy, come with me to buy groceries!" Ergouzi took the package and turned around to express his thanks.
"Okay!" Xie Xin knew that this was an act, and although he felt unhappy, he still responded cooperatively.
As Er Gouzi returned to the back hall, he saw that a flat carriage had been prepared, with only two horses pulling it. One of them looked so familiar to Xie Xin.
"First give your horse a break, and then go far away from the city, and then untie it." Seeing Xie Xin staring at the horse, Ergouzi approached Xie Xin and whispered.
After thanking the letter, he nodded with a smile, immediately changed into coarse linen clothes at Er Gouzi's instruction, and jumped on the flatbed truck.
Seeing that Xie Xin had already sat down, Ergouzi immediately drove the car towards the door.
"What do you want to do? Don't you know you can't leave the city now?!" When they arrived at the city gate, an officer immediately came over and yelled.
"Brother Lu! You have become so powerful that you don't recognize your brothers anymore?" Ergouzi got out of the car with a smile and walked directly to the officer.
"You..." The officer didn't know Er Gouzi at first, but the next second he found Er Gouzi secretly stuffing a package into his hand.
"Brother Lu, have you forgotten your brother? I am your former lover, Er Gouzi! The one who works at Yuelai Inn now!" Er Gouzi said in a pretended to be sad tone.
Paddling the package in his hand, the officer surnamed Lu already knew what it was.
"Oh, it's Ergouzi! Your little brother hasn't come to visit Brother Lu for so long, who still recognizes you!" After accepting the money, the officer's attitude immediately changed dramatically.
"What, are you planning to leave the city? Does the acting prefect have an official document stating that you can only enter and not leave within five days?" Looking at the flatbed truck behind Ergouzi, the officer said with some embarrassment.
"Brother Lu, it's not like I'm leaving the city and not coming back. Why don't I go to Lijiacun to buy some game?! How far is Lijiacun from here? It doesn't take more than a few hours to go back.
?
Besides, I'm not here to play. The shopkeeper's order requires me to return quickly. You said that once I leave the city, I'll be back in more than two hours at most?" Er Gouzi looked like a rogue.
Speaking to the officer.
"This..." The officer was really in a dilemma. He couldn't help but obey the commander's orders!
But I don’t want this golden gold dollar...
Directly greedy for ink? That's even worse. Didn't you hear Er Gouzi say that he is from Yuelai Inn? His immediate boss is their backer, don't he want to live?
"Okay, go and come back quickly!" After some weighing, greed still overwhelmed his reason.
In his opinion, anyway, a large part of the money in his hand will be handed over to his immediate superior. If anything happens, he will naturally be responsible for it. He is just "obeying orders" and is not guilty.
Isn’t it dead?
"Thank you, Brother Lu. I'll treat you to a drink when you come back!" Ergouzi got on the carriage with a smile, quickly drove the carriage out of the city gate under the envious eyes of many people.
With the example of Ergouzi, many simple people naturally asked why they could go out but they couldn't. After some reasoning, they were picked up and beaten severely by the soldiers.
Only a few sharp-eyed businessmen followed Ergouzi's method and left Pingyu City one after another after giving money to the officer surnamed Lu.
As for Xie Xin, after he left Pingyu City ten miles away, Ergouzi helped him untie the white horse and let him leave like this.
"Thank you for your help!" Xie Xin got on the horse and raised his hand towards Er Gouzi.
Although you have nothing but money, others are risking their lives to help you, right?
"We collect people's money to help them eliminate disasters. We are just collecting money to do things, and there is nothing to thank you for. If the guest comes to Pingyu next time and hopes to stay in our hotel again, it will be the best thank you to our hotel!" Ergouzi
He was also proficient in business, answered a few formulaic sentences, and drove the carriage towards the other city gate.
Looking at his background, Xie Xin smiled and rode back directly towards Huangjiacun.
After walking about twenty miles, Xie Xin felt something watching him.
"Who!? Come out!" Soon, he locked eyes with that person and shouted to one side.
"What a young man, you are actually able to discover my existence." A middle-aged man with a fairy-like manner came out from behind a tree on the roadside.
"You are not an ordinary person?!" Xie Xin looked around and found that there was a real energy surrounding the middle-aged man. This was definitely not something ordinary people could do.
"Yes, I am a cultivator like you. But unlike you who can create your own sect, I am just an insignificant casual cultivator." The middle-aged man replied with a smile.
"Creating a sect is just a whim. Have you ever seen a monk at the sixth level of qi training create a sect like this, and the creation is a mess?" Xie Xin replied with a smile.
But behind the smile, he was silently preparing for a sneak attack.
"I really haven't seen it before, but I have seen it now." The middle-aged man smiled.
"Let's get down to business! You should have spiritual stones on your body? If you can take them all out, or tell me the mineral veins, then your sect can continue to exist.
With your strength, you still have to stick to those precious things. Even if you can hide from me today, there will be more powerful monks who will come to trouble you in the future.
"The people of Chu are not guilty, but they are guilty of having a jade." You should understand this truth. Before you have enough ability to protect yourself, you should adapt to the rules of this world of the jungle?" The conversation changed, and the middle-aged man
His attitude suddenly became tougher.
"In that case, I'll give it to you!" Xie Xin smiled and threw out a pack of spiritual stones worth about a dozen yuan.
When the middle-aged man saw the spirit stone, he went to pick it up without saying a word.
Just the next second, a finger of powerful energy shot straight towards him.
When thousands of troops were about to attack, the middle-aged man took out a Bagua Mirror and placed it in front of him, and forcefully caught Xie Xin's Yang Finger, which he shot out with all his strength.
"Your Excellency is indeed a character who cannot afford to suffer!" Putting the spirit stone into the pocket on his waist, the middle-aged man immediately rushed towards Xie Xin.
"Let you see how powerful the innate Bagua Mirror is!" The middle-aged man recited the formula silently and threw the Bagua Mirror in his hand.
The next second, the Bagua Mirror suddenly grew in size, from the size of a palm to a large mirror of about fifty square meters. It moved in the direction of Xie Xin and pressed down at an extremely fast speed.
Fortunately, Xie reacted immediately and quickly jumped off his horse and jumped to the side.
"Hiss..." The white horse that Xie Xin sat on was not so lucky. He couldn't dodge in time and was pinned down by the Bagua Mirror.
When the middle-aged man saw that the blow missed, he silently recited the formula and raised the Bagua Mirror again.
Under the mirror, the white horse had been crushed into a meat pie, and its flesh and blood were blurred.
"This is trouble!" Xie Xin looked at the proud middle-aged man and couldn't help but sigh to himself.
It can be said that this is the first time in his life that he has directly fought a monk, and it is still a life and death battle.
If he hadn't practiced a little in the past few months, I'm afraid Xie Xin wouldn't have dared to fight him.
As for giving him all the spiritual stones, that is absolutely not possible.
Let him know that he is easy to bully. In the future, all the valuable things in his sect will be blackmailed by him one by one?
Will he be the leader then, or will he be the leader? Or should we say he is the supreme leader?!
This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to happen in Xie Xin.
So he wants to fight, on the one hand to test his combat effectiveness, and on the other hand to defend everything he wants to protect.
