Chapter 176 City Lord
Just like that, not long after, countless footsteps suddenly appeared in the city lord's mansion, and the door was slowly opened with only a creak.

A luxuriously dressed man came out of it. This man was slightly fat, with a sharp look between his eyes. He was about 50 or [-] years old. Standing on his left and right were two wearing black suits. They are well-proportioned people, and there is a vicious expression in their expressions, which makes people feel a little scared. If they are children, they may be scared to cry on the spot. The appearance and aura of these two people give people a feeling A feeling that cannot be provoked.

After the man walked out, all the soldiers guarding the city bowed and said, "My lord."

This luxuriously dressed man is the city lord. He looked at the hundreds of people wearing bark and leaves standing in front of him, and asked with a slight frown: "Who is it? Who wants to rent a dragon cart to go to the Central Plains?" , are these people?"

The soldier who delivered the message nodded and said, "That's right, it's these people. General Golden Helmet came to tell me just now, hey? It's strange, why are they gone?"

The soldier who sent the message scratched his head. He was looking for General Golden Helmet in the crowd, but now, he couldn't even see a single person.

Seeing this, Qin Feng winked at the old patriarch next to him. The old patriarch understood and walked forward. He looked at the city lord and said, "We are from Wuzhai. Now we are going to the Central Plains. Use your dragon chariot."

The city lord frowned slightly and looked at the old patriarch. He could feel the strength of the old man from the aura that he could transmit from the other party, but the clothes of this man were very indecent. There is not much difference compared to the person with animal skins. If this person plans to rent his own dragon cart, he will not believe it, because this person can't even afford the most basic clothes. How can he rent a dragon cart? Woolen cloth?

You know, one of the main taxes in their Fengsha City is the cost of renting dragon carts. Dragon carts are very rare and fast means of transportation. Every dragon cart is expensive and very difficult to obtain. As Fengsha The city lord managed to obtain the right to use more than a dozen dragon chariots through various relationships and channels. This is the foundation of their Fengsha City. If there is not enough money, he will never rent it.

Seeing that these people were dressed so casually and looked like frontier villagers, how could he believe that these people would have the money to rent ten dragon carts? Even if these people hunted for a lifetime, they would not be able to rent a single cart.

Thinking of this, there was some contempt in his eyes, he looked at the old patriarch, and said a little bluntly: "Do you know how much it costs to rent a dragon carriage? Do you have money to lend a dragon carriage?"

How did the old patriarch know how much it would cost to rent a dragon cart? He scratched his head and said truthfully: "I don't know how much it costs to rent a car, but no matter how much it costs, we will pay for it."

"Oh? You will all pay? Let me tell you now, it costs 200 magic mirrors to rent a dragon car. Do you have the money?"

After the city lord finished speaking, the old patriarch said in surprise: "What? 200 magic crystals for a car?"

The old patriarch's eyes widened, 200 magic crystals, this is a very large sum, the total of their whole clan is only 400 magic crystals, at best they can only rent two cars, but the two cars can't carry them For more than 400 people, at least ten cars are needed. This is his conclusion based on the knowledge passed down from the previous generation of team leaders. A dragon car can only pull about 40 people, and it is impossible to carry more people.

Thinking of this, he looked back at his benefactor, only to see that the other party was looking at him with confidence. The meaning was obvious. He was in charge of the negotiations. If the negotiations were unsuccessful, force would be required.

In this regard, the old patriarch was very confident in the strength of his own side. He turned his head, showing a face full of confidence, and said to the city lord: "We have borrowed the dragon carriage, but we have no money. We plan to borrow it. We will pay you later when we have money."

"What? What are you talking about? You want to borrow a dragon carriage and pay on credit? You old guy is really reckless. Do you know where this place is? Do you know who you are talking to? How dare you speak such arrogant words? I want your life."

The two bodyguards behind the Lord City Lord looked angry. The two of them showed their fierce looks at first, but when they said cruel words, their expressions were even more murderous, which made people feel their hearts tremble.

The old patriarch saw that the faces of these two people were not friendly, but he was not afraid. He snorted coldly and said: "Why, the people from Wuzhai lent you the dragon carriage to save face, don't give shame to us, our benefactor, I want to take us to the Central Plains area as soon as possible, and borrowing your dragon carriage is a way of giving you face, and we are not denying you money. When we have money in the future, our benefactor has ordered us to repay it twice. For you, the benefactor will never deny it, you have obtained a huge benefit, don't be ignorant of your blessings."

Hearing this, the two of them had already taken out their sharp blades, and were about to rush up and smash the old man's body into pieces. How dare this man speak rudely to the city lord in front of the gate of the city lord's mansion, and even said such provocative words, They simply didn't pay attention to them. If this person is not punished on the spot, how can they still have the face to live in this wind and sand city, and what face will they have to face the city lord.

So, the two of them made a gesture to rush forward.

"stop!"

At this moment, the city lord stretched out his hand to stop the two people. Of course, the city lord was very angry at these words, but he could see that the old patriarch was very skilled, and the two bodyguards might not take too much into it. It's cheap, and it's not what he wants to see if he has a dispute with the other party here. As the Lord of Sandstorm, it's his responsibility to protect the safety of the city's residents and maximize their interests.

Although what the old man said was full of provocation, if what the other party said was true, if these people were really able to repay the cost of borrowing the dragon carriage, and promised to repay twice, then it would indeed be a challenge for him. Great news, and it is a matter of great benefit.

If one of these people on the other side can be a guarantee, and that person's identity and status have enough strength, he will naturally lend them these dragon chariots. After all, these people are going to the Central Plains, and the rich people in the Central Plains There are countless masters and masters, who knows if the benefactor who the other party says wants to go to the Central Plains is a member of the Martial Arts or a wealthy businessman in the Central Plains.

In case the other party is just out of luck and has no money. = And if he borrows his own dragon carriage, it doesn't matter for him to borrow it, and in that way, the benefits he gets are huge.

Thinking of this, he reached out his hand to stop the two men who were about to rush up, and then he asked the old patriarch: "That benefactor, that young man standing behind him, can you let him come over, I have something to say Ask him, if his answer satisfies me, I will naturally lend you the dragon carriage."
