Chapter 1025 The Jealous City Commander
The person who came was the city commander of Shicheng, Hafiz from Os City. He was so afraid that he insisted that the ceremonial carriage set off early and take a long detour instead of taking the main road.
The city of Os is quite far from the imperial capital, and the normal road to the imperial capital must pass through other big cities such as Shicheng.
It just so happened that there were several city lords who had always been at odds with him, and the one from Shicheng was the first to bear the brunt of it.
Hafiz thought that his enemies would not want him to get any advantage or take the lead in such a rare event as the coronation ceremony of the new emperor, so he ordered the ceremonial carriage to depart in advance. Who would have thought that they would encounter robbery on the way, the gifts were damaged, and the carriage turned back... This time, they had to leave even if they did not take the main road, otherwise they might not be able to catch up in time.
By the way, no one knows where Hafiz’s convoy is?
However, if the city commander of Shicheng has already arrived, Hafiz should not be too far away. If the city lord has just left when they pass by Shicheng, the risk of the chariot being hijacked will be greatly reduced.
"My Lords!" The Shicheng City Commander came over bent over, with an unstoppable smile on his face. "I said I saw a rainbow hanging high in the sky when I went out this morning, and I thought something good must be happening. It turns out I'm meeting you Lords. It's such an honor."
The city commander was a thin old man. Unlike the wealthy Hafiz, perhaps because he was too thin and did not wear many jewels, the only thing worth noting was his pair of bright eyes, which were so active that he seemed to have a new idea at random.
Lin Fan has three Bodhisattvas and one demon on his side, and only Antonio and Lu Xinyuan can communicate normally.
Seeing Antonio concentrating on picking food for Lin Fan and ignoring the man, Lu Xinyuan knew that he had to do it himself. The God Clan was arrogant again, with his chin slightly raised, and asked him with a sidelong glance in a haughty manner: "What do you want?"
"No, no." The city commander waved his hands, "I just came here to pay my respects to you all. If we can see each other again in the imperial capital, I hope you will take good care of me."
Antonio raised his eyelids slightly, and saw from the corner of his eye that he seemed eager to smooth over the relationship, and thought to himself: It’s better not to meet him once we enter the imperial capital, or you might lose your life.
Lu Xinyuan didn't know what explosive event was waiting for them, so he nodded reservedly, and then nothing happened. He didn't even look at the old man again, and ate his own food.
In the past, they still needed to get some intelligence information from others, and they had to talk to them. Now they were at the gate of the imperial capital, so why waste time talking? Eating was more important.
The mayor of Shicheng did not look unhappy at all for being treated coldly. He just stood by with a smile on his face, said a lot of polite words, and expressed that he had a gift for them.
Lin Fan and the others pretended not to hear. Gold, silver, jewelry, and fancy clothes had no appeal to them. Once they left this planet, even the most valuable things would become ordinary souvenirs, and food that could be eaten was not as real as anything else.
Just as the city commander called on the attendants behind him to carry the gifts over, another person came in from the lobby. The sunlight outside the door shone on him, making him sparkle with gold. Even Lin Fan was dazzled by the reflection and looked over there.
"My Lord, my Lord!" Hafiz's fat body was so flexible that he rushed to their table like a catapult, pushing the thin Jeremy several steps back and almost falling. He had to hold on to the corner of the table to stabilize his body.
Hafiz had an expression on his face as if he was finally able to see his relatives. He glanced at the people at the table and saw that the clothes they were wearing were all given by him. The corners of his mouth were grinning to his ears and he didn't care at all about the appearance of a strange vulture.
He knelt down with his fat body and greeted everyone one by one. He didn't care that the other few people ignored him coldly and only spoke to Antonio and Lu Xinyuan who were responsive.
Antonio still had a good impression of Hafiz. After all, they were able to have such a comfortable journey thanks to this fat man. So he changed his previous indifference to Jeremy and chatted with Hafiz.
"Do you know each other?" The man from Shicheng was very surprised.
He was not afraid of the Protoss's indifference to him, but was afraid of different treatment. When did this fat guy get in touch with the Protoss? It seemed that they had a very good relationship.
Hafiz glanced at the old man with smug disdain and continued to complain to Lu Xinyuan and the others.
"…When the convoy came back, they said that thanks to the help of the adults, they drove away the robbers, and thus the people and property of Os City were saved. I was so grateful, and I kept thinking about when I could meet the adults again and thank you in person for your kindness. Look, we met again in Asakuchi Town? It's really fate!"
Hafiz hurried along the way, feeling very nervous. He was afraid that his gifts would be robbed, that he would encounter another accident and miss the celebration, and he also heard that there were demons causing troubles... He couldn't eat or sleep well along the way, and felt that he had lost weight. He didn't relax until he entered the town of Qiankou.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the door of the inn, he saw the golden carriage he had given away parked on the side, and he knew that his chance had come again!
The man from Stone City saw that Hafiz was already one step ahead of him, and he did not give up. He had heard from the side that the attitude of the adults of the God Clan towards Hafiz was nothing more than that he was generous. What Aus City could give, he could also give from Stone City. Since Hafiz could impress the adults, he could too.
He flattered himself and started a conversation, but finally Lu Xinyuan felt sorry for him and said that they had stayed in a small town under the jurisdiction of Shicheng.
The old man immediately became excited and squeezed in front of Hafiz: "So that's you gentlemen? I received news from the town guard that they received several gods and they were very kind. I didn't expect it was you! What a great fate!"
At this time, the man's gift also arrived. He wanted to give it, but Hafiz refused, and the two of them tore it apart in front of everyone at the table, but they had to maintain their image and could not really tear it apart.
Everyone present knew why they were trying to show goodwill, but they also knew that their idea was impossible to achieve - they were all fake gods, and it was good enough that they didn't bring fatal disaster to these ordinary people.
Especially Lin Fan and Antonio, they knew that Jiu was going to do something big, they wanted to trick Pingze. Letting these people get involved at this time would really be a waste of everything.
Lin Fan didn't mean well. She just didn't want to watch others get into trouble because of her when she knew the road ahead was dangerous. So she interrupted him coldly: "Stop making so much noise."
Hafiz and the city commander of Shicheng immediately fell silent, stood quietly by the side with their heads down and their hands hanging, their eyes still quietly reaching towards the table.
"If you continue like this, even ten thousand heads won't be enough to cover your loss once you enter the imperial capital and stand before the new Heavenly Emperor." Jiu said with a smile.
Hafiz and the other man immediately took a step back in fear.
But Hafiz thought more, he felt that given his relationship with the adults, he must have been dragged down by the old guy. But the words of this new adult... seemed to be another reminder.
"Understood, sir." Hafiz immediately bowed obediently, "Then I will leave immediately and not disturb your rest."
As he said that, he actually walked out backwards, ran to the counter and shouted in a low voice, "Boss, these guys' bills are on my list!"
Seeing this, the old man from Shicheng didn't dare to say anything. He said goodbye politely, left a pile of gift boxes and left.
Everyone ate their food as if nothing happened.
"That fat guy made such a big fuss, maybe more city lords will hear the news and come to us to get close to us." Jiu smiled and looked at the two city lords and a group of servants who were already fighting not far away over who would give them the account.
Lin Fan glanced over there and said, "Then just go ahead."
"Let's go?" Antonio looked up and asked, "To a new place to live?"
Lin Fan leaned back, crossed his arms, and crossed his legs: "Go straight to the imperial capital."
