Chapter 467 How Long Have I Been Unconscious?
"That was a long, long time ago. Thanks to you, Uncle Xue, for blocking the hidden weapon to save me. Otherwise, my life would be in danger!"
Bai Yue winked at Lu Wangyou, who understood and nodded immediately.
"Of course, we Xuelin warriors are all top-notch warriors. We would risk our lives for our friends and family!"
At this time, Mrs. Xue was no longer obsessed with his lost memory. He suddenly lifted the curtain of the carriage and moved swiftly to sit next to the coachman.
"This Feiyun City is indeed much more lively than Wangyou Valley, but there's such a long queue at the city gate!"
"That's because the entire area within a hundred miles relies on Feiyun Mountain Villa for protection. If businessmen like us didn't have such a strong support, we would have been gnawed away by bandits long ago!"
The driver excitedly introduced Yuwen Xiao, the owner of Feiyun Villa, to Mrs. Xue, saying that he not only had a prosperous business, but was also a kind-hearted man. Over the years, he had built trade routes, established markets, and often helped poor people. It was thanks to his years of hard work that Feiyun City became the most prosperous place in the Wulin Alliance.
"It's a pity that although Master Yuwen was wise, his descendants..."
"Stop! Who are you? Do you have a token to enter the city?"
Before the driver could finish his words, several white figures suddenly came over. They were wearing the same moon-white tights, and the flowing cloud patterns embroidered with silver thread on the hem of their clothes emitted tiny cold light as they moved.
"My dear heroes, I am here to bring a few guests to visit relatives in Feiyun City. Please do us a favor and let us into the city!"
The driver put on a wrinkled smile and handed over the ebony token with trembling hands. As soon as the fingertips of one of the thin men touched the winding cloud pattern on the card, his face suddenly turned as cold as frost.
"Asshole, you dare put this crudely made fake in Feiyun Villa's honor? Tell me! What is your connection with the Demon Cult? What are you planning by bringing this fake into the city?"
As soon as he finished speaking, six longswords were unsheathed with a sound like the roar of dragons, and a cold light enveloped the carriage. The driver's legs gave way, and he fell heavily to his knees on the bluestone slabs.
"My lord, be wise! My family has been rickshaw drivers for generations. How dare we get involved with the demonic cult? I applied for this token at the city gate four months ago. If I tell you a lie, I will be hacked into pieces!"
"Feiyun Villa's token is specially made. Your counterfeit is clearly a deliberate provocation! Fellow disciples, first break his arm and see if he dares to lie again!
The cold sword blade was just about to touch the driver's neck. At the critical moment, a casual sneer suddenly floated out from the shadows.
"Apei, can you be more steady in your work? Don't always resort to violence!"
The sound of a folding fan waving gently came from far away and a middle-aged man in his forties walked out from the shadows. He was wearing a moon-white brocade robe embroidered with dark patterns of flowing clouds, and there was a hint of laziness hidden in the smile lines at the corners of his eyes.
"Uncle Cheng!"
Upon seeing this, several disciples hurriedly put away their swords and clasped their fists, while the disciple called Apai quickly stepped forward.
"Uncle Master, this person actually dared to come to Feiyun City with a fake token to defraud people. I guess he must be from the Demon Sect..."
"What kind of demonic sect is this? Didn't you see that this person's steps are unsteady? He looks like an ordinary person who doesn't know any martial arts?"
The folding fan snapped shut, and the middle-aged man hit the thin man on the head with his backhand. Then he leaned over, grabbed the driver's trembling arm, and helped him up steadily.
"My friend, I'm sorry to have been frightened. These disciples are young and impetuous, and they act rashly. I hope you will forgive me!"
"My dear hero! This sign was bought with fifty taels of silver, which I saved by wearing out twenty pairs of wheel ropes and blinding half of my eye. I beg you to be discerning and to help me!"
The driver tugged at the middle-aged man's sleeve, his voice almost breaking as he cried for help. The man's fingertips stroked the uneven cloud patterns, and he tapped the card surface lightly with his fan bone, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
"Feiyun City's tokens are all made of ebony, with wax seals inlaid with gold threads. The material and pattern of your wooden token are all imitations. No one can enter the city without a token. This is an iron rule. No one dares to break the rules. So don't make it difficult for me. Please find another way."
"That's fifty taels of silver! How many years will it take me to earn it back? Kill me! Kill me now! How can I have the face to go home..."
The driver's eyes were red, and he suddenly rushed towards Apai like a madman, grasping the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands and stabbing it into his chest. Everyone screamed and took several steps back. Just when the scene suddenly became chaotic, a thunder-like roar split the chaos.
"That's enough. It's just fifty taels of silver. I'll give it to you!"
"Sir, is what you said true?"
The driver, who had just been trying to commit suicide, rushed to Madam Xue in two steps.
"It's just some silver, what's the big deal?"
The other party curled his lips in disdain and reached into his pocket, but after searching for a long time, he realized that he didn't seem to have any silver.
"This guy doesn't have any money..."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Mrs. Xue, with curiosity, anticipation, and a sense of anticipation for a good show.
"Although I don't have any money, I have something better than money. This mechanism contains seven deadly moves. If you take it to a weapons shop, I guarantee you'll get a thousand taels of silver!"
His Adam's apple rolled twice, and he fumbled for an ebony box in a panic. The driver tilted his head, his eyes looking at him as if he was watching a monkey juggling on the street.
"Sir, aren't you making fun of me? I need silver just to get into the city, but you're telling me I have to go into the city first just to get the silver."
"this…"
Mrs. Xue searched her body for a long time and found that she did not have even a tael of silver. Apei came forward upon seeing this, his eyes and eyebrows full of sarcasm.
"These barbarians are full of lies. I bet you won't even have the money for the bus fare..."
Apei's sneer was still stuck in his throat when the curtain of the carriage suddenly shook slightly, and a jade hand holding a heavy gold ingot was handed to Madam Xue.
"Hey, is this enough for your broken wooden sign?"
He took the gold ingot without hesitation and threw it to Apai. The other party hurriedly reached out to take it. The heavy weight made him put the gold ingot to his mouth to verify its authenticity.
"shut up!"
The middle-aged man snatched the gold ingot and subconsciously stroked the cold and hard metal surface with his fingertips. In a moment, his lazy expression disappeared. He nodded and bowed repeatedly towards the carriage, as if he had become a different person.
"I really didn't realize there was something hidden in this car..."
"give change!"
The white hand inside the curtain not only did not retract, but instead shook it gently, as if silently urging.
