Chapter 478
“Lord … Lord City Lord, this lowly one is not lying.”
The poor scout was scared to death by Fu Hong Shan’s words. He answered Fu Hong Shan’s question with a trembling voice.
“Bang!”
Fu Hongshan had no choice but to accept the fact that Xiao Chen had appeared in his city after receiving the scout’s confirmation. He tossed the scout to the ground and sat down on the high-grade leather chair behind him. His eyes flickered as he pondered what to do next. Should he run?
Or should he stay put?
Or should he take the initiative to prepare a gift to show his goodwill to Xiao Chen?
“Report!”
Another scout rushed into the City Lord’s Mansion and knelt down on one knee in front of Fu Hong Shan, who was deep in thought. He reported carefully, “City Lord, Xiao Chen is at the trading market in the east of the city. He seems to be here to buy a carriage. So far, he has not killed a single civilian or martial artist.”
“Trading market?
Buy a carriage? “Fu Hong Shan was stunned when he heard the scout’s report. Why would Xiao Chen buy a carriage?
Xiao Chen was a powerful martial artist. He did not need a carriage to travel. At most, he would buy a horse. Could it be that there was someone else with Xiao Chen?
Fu Hong Shan’s eyes brightened when he thought of this possibility. He asked immediately, “Xiao Jiu!
Is there anyone else with Xiao Chen? ”
“Yes, a masked woman with a perfect figure. She is not a martial artist, but a mortal.”
The scout lowered his head and answered truthfully. He was very detailed. Obviously, he saw Xiao Chen and Dongfang Qingwu with his own eyes.
“A masked woman?
A mortal? ”
Fu Hong Shan’s eyes brightened when he heard this information. He decided to show his goodwill to Xiao Chen immediately. He stood up quickly and shouted, “Guards!”
“Swish!”
A Blood Bear stage 2 guard commander wearing a set of soft armor rushed in from outside. He knelt down on one knee towards Fu Hong Shan and said respectfully, “City Lord, your subordinate is here!”
“Commander Fu, bring out my brand new carriage. You will follow me to see Young Master Xiao Chen later!
Go now! “Fu Hong Shan ordered.
“Understood!”
The guard commander didn’t hesitate and didn’t dare to ask anything. He respectfully accepted the order and quickly got up and dashed out of the door.
“You two, get up!”
Fu Hong Shan looked at the two scouts who were kneeling on the ground and shouted, “Pass down my order immediately. Inform all the family martial artists in the city not to provoke Xiao Chen, let alone make an enemy out of Xiao Chen. Anyone who disobeys my order will be killed by me!
Go! ”
“Yes!
City Lord! ”
The two scouts stood up hurriedly and rushed out of the City Lord’s Mansion. They knew the seriousness of the matter and didn’t dare to be slow. Otherwise, their heads would be chopped off. Their family members’ heads would also be chopped off. Hundreds of thousands of people in the Red Moon City would be implicated.
After giving the order, Fu Hong Shan straightened his clothes and walked out of the door. He was thinking that he had to meet Xiao Chen as soon as possible and express his goodwill to Xiao Chen. If necessary, he had to give some valuables. He had heard that Xiao Chen had robbed a few big cities. Instead of being robbed by Xiao Chen, he might as well offer some Purple Gold to win Xiao Chen’s favor. If Xiao Chen was happy, he wouldn’t make things difficult for a small City Lord like him.
East of the city, Xiao Chen brought Dongfang Qing Wu and Da Huang with him. They didn’t pay any attention to the chaotic crowd. They were minding their own business in the huge market, looking for a horse carriage or a horse that they wanted.
After a while, Xiao Chen and the other two found a place that sold horse carriages. They did buy horse carriages, but they didn’t see any good horses. There were only a few normal horses. Xiao Chen couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. Normal horses were too weak and their speed was several times slower than a horse.
The owner of the horse carriage was an ordinary merchant. Although he was very respectful towards Xiao Chen, he was still calm. He wasn’t as scared as the warriors in the market. He noticed the disappointment in Xiao Chen’s eyes and said apologetically, “Young Master Xiao, I’m really sorry.
The horse carriage that you are looking for is very rare in a small city like the Red Moon City. Once a horse appears, it will be snatched up by the three big clans in the city in less than the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn. A few days ago, our shop received two horses and they were immediately bought by the guards of the City Lord’s Mansion. I heard that it was to build a brand new luxurious horse carriage for the City Lord. ”
“Oh!
If that’s the case, then can you help me choose a good horse? Here’s the money, is it enough? ”
Xiao Chen didn’t have a good impression of any of the City Lords, so he couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to them. Thus, he decided to just buy a horse and make do with it. Furthermore, he took out a purple gold note with a denomination of one thousand gold taels and gave it to the horse carriage owner.
“Ah?
One thousand gold taels?! ”
The horse carriage owner took the purple gold note and looked at it carefully. His expression immediately changed and he couldn’t help but cry out in surprise. He immediately returned the purple gold note to Xiao Chen and said nervously, “Young Master Xiao, one thousand gold taels is too much!
It’s too much!
You only need to give this little one thirty gold taels. If you don’t have the change, this little one will give you a horse. Hehe. ”
“I never take advantage of others. This is the smallest denomination purple gold note I have. Boss, if you don’t want to accept it, then give me the change.”
Xiao Chen said in a deadpan manner. He didn’t say anything. He had given all the small denomination purple gold notes to the kind-hearted old man. This one thousand gold taels purple gold note was something that he found with great difficulty.
Xiao Chen was now a veritable nouveau riche. Although his wealth couldn’t rival a country, it was more than enough for him to rival a city. Moreover, it was a main city like the Immortal Jade City. One must know that the total value of the purple gold note in his bosom was more than a hundred million gold taels.
“Give me the change?
Well, my little shop isn’t even worth a thousand gold taels. How can I give you the change?
Young Master Xiao, a horse is not worth much money. Let me give it to you as a gift. Is it fate? ”
When the horse carriage owner heard that it was a thousand gold taels purple gold note, he immediately got a headache. He was a merchant, so it was impossible for him to accept such a denomination purple gold note. Therefore, he found an excuse to give the horse to Xiao Chen.
“Alright.”
Xiao Chen looked at the horse carriage owner’s sincere expression. He didn’t have the hypocrisy of an unscrupulous merchant. Xiao Chen had a good impression of him. Therefore, he pretended to keep the purple gold note. When the horse carriage owner went to the stable to get the horse, Xiao Chen quietly placed the purple gold note on the table.
“Da da da!”
After a while, Xiao Chen and Dongfang Qingwu rode the horse from the entrance of the horse carriage shop to the trading market. Da Huang rode beside them without any complaints.
A moment later, the horse carriage owner shouted anxiously from behind, “Young Master Xiao!
Young Master Xiao!
Why did you put the purple gold note on my table?
You can’t!
You can’t! ”
Xiao Chen didn’t turn around. He replied calmly, “Boss, you gave me a horse, and I’ll give you a purple golden ticket. This is also a kind of fate. I’ll be on my way!”
“Eh …”
When the horse carriage owner heard Xiao Chen’s answer, he was speechless. Looking at Xiao Chen and the horse that he gave away gradually, he held the purple gold note with both hands. His body trembled a little. After a while, he revealed a brilliant smile and muttered to himself, “Who said that Xiao Chen is a demon?
I think that Young Master Xiao Chen is a very good person. I hope that the good person will have a peaceful life … ”
Xiao Chen did two good things out of his heart. He won the favor of a pair of old people and a generous merchant. Many years later, these two things were spread. Because of this, Xiao Chen became a very good person in the eyes of the people of the Full Moon tribe. But this was a story to be told later.
