C25 Goodbye Xu Tianyi(1)
Li Yi was one of the many soldiers in Northguard City.
As a soldier of Northguard City, he felt that his treatment was not bad. All you have to do is keep an eye on everybody who enters the city gates every day, to see if there are any suspicious people, and when the time comes there will be a shift change, so that you can get a decent paycheck easily. Although it was stipulated that everyone who entered the city had to be checked, who would actually do that?
He held an arrest warrant every day, checking to see if anybody was on the wanted list. He thought that if he did catch a wanted man, he would get a lot of cash, and that made his job even better.
Right now, Li Yi held the arrest warrant in his hand and carefully sized up this handsome youth who was about to enter the city in front of him.
Li Yi carefully looked at the youth in front of him and realized that he had never seen him before, so he said: "Kid, I've never seen you before! This is the first time you've come to the Northguard City, right?"
The young man wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and laughed: "Yes! Soldier Big Brother. A plague broke out in my hometown. Now, I am the only one left alive in the village. I am a relative who came to Northguard City to do business here."
When Li Yi heard this, he was also a little curious. Pestilence? Did something happen recently?
Although he was puzzled about the plague, Li Yi still had more important things to do. He had to fulfill his duties!
Thinking about his responsibility, Li Yi said with a serious expression: "Since you are here to seek refuge with your relative, then you should know the rules of the first time you come to Northguard City."
This young man was Xu Dong, who was wearing a human skin mask. He felt like he was going crazy!
He had put on the mask and thought he would be safe, but when it was his turn, he was pulled aside by a guard with his warrant in his hand.
Xu Dong, who thought that he had been discovered, was ready to kill the city guards in an instant and force his way into the Northguard City! After all, he could wait for a while, but Qing Lan could not!
However, just as Xu Dong was about to kill the soldier, the soldier actually told him something about the rules of the first time he came to Northguard City!
If he hadn't been afraid that he would alert the enemy and harm Qing Lan, that little girl, Xu Dong would have slapped Li Yi's 45-yard face and asked him: "Rules? I've been the Young City Lord of Northguard City for so many years. How could I not know of the rules of entering Northguard City for the first time?"
However, Xu Dong still endured it. He quietly dispersed the strength in his hands and pretended to be puzzled as he asked: "Big Brother Bing, this is my first time in Northguard City, and my relatives have never told me about it. I wonder what kind of rules there are?"
Li Yi didn't say anything. He just kept rubbing his thumb and index finger in front of Xu Dong.
How could Xu Dong not know that Li Yi was asking him for money? With the mindset that it was better to avoid unnecessary troubles, he took out two strings of copper coins from his bag, pretended to be enlightened, and said, "Understood. Brother Bing, this is natural, this is natural. You have worked hard. Take this money and use it as money for the wine!" With that, she stuffed the two copper coins into Li Yi's hand.
Li Yi's face revealed a promising expression as he said to Xu Dong: "En, alright, quickly enter the city!"
After Xu Dong heard this, he did not bother arguing with the city guard who did not know what was good for him and directly entered the city.
Li Yi, an ordinary city guard, had a pretty good salary. Occasionally, he would even be able to catch a wanted criminal and get a reward. Now, he could even earn a lot of extra money!
Li Yi, who was holding the two strings of coppers, did not realize that he had just been walking through the gates of hell. He thought happily, "This evening I can go to the Yi Hong Courtyard for a round of spending. What a comfortable life!"
Xu Dong, who had just entered the city looked at his hometown, which he had lived in for more than ten years, and looked at these familiar scenes. He could not help but sigh with emotion in his heart.
A month ago, he was still a piece of trash that everyone here despised, but a month later, he was able to destroy the strongest power in this place - the Xu Mansion! What a joke!
In this place, after he was found unable to awaken his martial soul at the age of six, he was met with cold and mocking gazes. Even my father was...
He shook his head and collected his thoughts. However, he couldn't help but clench his fists tightly, which further strengthened Xu Moqiu's determination to die.
