Douluo: I want to be a salted fish with my incomprehension

Chapter 456 Leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist

After scolding a man, Xin Ya turned around and walked angrily towards the carriage not far away.

Several people got back into the carriage.

Liu Erlong was responsible for driving the carriage towards the gate of Longxing City.

When passing through the city gate, the guards conducted some simple entry checks on them. In addition to registering basic information, they were also required to pay taxes.

Because Longxing City is a prosperous trading border city, most of the people who come here are wealthy merchants and soul masters, so the gate tax for carriages from other places entering the city is essential.

But the weird thing is that the city gate tax is not only calculated per person, but even horses are counted as per person, and horse-drawn carriages are also taxed!

One gold soul coin was charged for each person, and three gold soul coins were charged for a carriage. There were five of them in total, plus two horses, so they paid ten gold soul coins in total.

In the carriage carriage.

Xin Ya complained unhappily, "It's fine to charge gate taxes for people and carriages, but horses are also counted as people, this is a bit too much!"

The Goddess of Love raised her eyebrows and said, "Ask your husband. I heard that the Spirit Hall asked for it to be collected this way."

Liu Erlong, who was sitting outside driving the car, also echoed: "That's right! Ask your husband."

Xin Ya: “…”

Seeing the little girl being humiliated, the Zhu sisters sitting beside her covered their lips and laughed.

Xin Ya snorted, "I haven't officially married him yet, so how can he be considered my husband? Not really!"

The God of Love teased, "Doesn't it count? I wonder who admitted in the hotel corridor that day that your Fifth Young Master is her husband."

Zhu Zhuyan also echoed, "Yes, it seems that he admitted it when he introduced me to her!"

Xin Ya immediately said proudly: "Really? I'm forgetful because of pregnancy, I don't remember!"

Zhu Zhuqing rarely spoke up and joined in the teasing, saying with a smile: "Xiaoya, you look like your fifth young master when he was arrogant."

The little girl snorted again and ignored them.

At this time, the procedures for entering the city had been completed, and the carriage slowly drove towards Longxing City.

Next to the city gate, Tailong was standing not far from the city gate waiting for them early in the morning.

When he saw Liu Erlong driving the carriage, he immediately waved his hands happily: "Dean Erlong, you are finally here."

Tailong, Ning Rongrong, Jiangzhu, Zhu Zhuting, the Shi sisters, and two personal guards, Xiao Fan and Xiao Du, a total of eight people, left Xingluo City in their carriage earlier than Xinya and her group.

So they arrived at Longxing City yesterday. After arriving, Tailong settled them down and waited for Xinya and the other four near the city gate from time to time.

Liu Erlong shouted to Tailong, "Come on, get in the car."

"it is good."

When the carriage approached, Tailong quickly jumped onto the driver's seat. He took over the driving job and drove towards the clan of his grandfather's friend.

Xin Ya poked her head out of the car and asked, "Brother Xingxing, where are Rongrong and the others?"

Tai Long said, "They are already waiting for you in the sect of my grandfather's friend. My grandfather Tai Tan also arrived in Longxing City yesterday. I will take you there now."

Xin Ya asked: "Is your grandfather's friend from the Yu clan, one of the four single-attribute clans?"

"Sister Xiaoya, how did you know?" Tailong asked in disbelief.

Xin Ya smiled faintly and said, "Because as far as I know, you are one of the four single-attribute clans, the heir of the younger generation of the Power Clan."

"So your grandfather's friend is naturally one of these four clans. Among the other three clans, only the Yu clan has its sect mansion in Longxing City."

Tai Long chuckled and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you."

Xin Ya smiled, then frowned and said, "Brother Xingxing, let me remind you first, it's okay for me to visit the Yu clan and meet the clan leader Niu Gao, as well as your grandfather, Tai Tan."

"But my brother Ling is from the Spirit Hall, I'm afraid the two seniors might not like me very much."

Hearing her words, Tai Long looked into the carriage.

Seeing that the Fifth Young Master was not there, he said bluntly: "Since the Fifth Young Master is not here, I think when we get to the sect later, we should simply not tell my grandfather and Grandpa Niu Gao about your relationship with the Spirit Hall."

Xin Ya thought about it, and shook her head disapprovingly, "It's not a good idea to keep it a secret for now. What if the two seniors find out later and think I came for some purpose, and then there's a conflict?"

"As the saying goes, those who confess will be treated leniently, while those who resist will be treated harshly. I think since you and Grandpa Taitan are here to visit and invite Senior Niu Gao to attend your wedding with Sister Jiangzhu, you should show sincerity in the invitation."

"You should have explained clearly to your friends before they entered the sect! And Senior Tai Tan is your grandfather, so you can't hide it from him!"

Liu Erlong also agreed: "Xiaoya is right! If you are not welcome, we can just leave with Xiaoya."

Tai Long said, "You have a point. I will tell you the truth when we introduce ourselves to the sect. As for whether my grandfather and Niu Gao will accept it, we will talk about it then. At least we are honest."

The others nodded.

Soon, the carriage stopped outside a large mansion in the south of the city, and the six people dismounted.

Xin Ya got off the carriage and looked up to see the plaque hanging on the gate of the sect’s mansion. There was only one word “御” on it. Two burly men who were twice as strong as Tai Long were standing guard at the door.

Tai Long walked up to her and introduced: "The Yu clan is good at casting for construction. The architectural designs of our four clans are all done by them."

"Although it looks rough overall, it has many defensive mechanisms hidden inside. My grandfather said that the City Lord's Mansion of Longxing City was also renovated by them."

"It is precisely because the Yu clan has done a good job in renovating the City Lord's Mansion in Longxing City that the City Lord allowed them to settle down in Longxing City and build their own sect mansion."

Xin Ya nodded and praised, "It is indeed well designed! Just from the thick outer wall, you can see the entrance inside."

In her previous life, when she was studying at the university of Blue Water Star, although her major was fashion design, one of her elective courses was architectural design.

So she also knows something about architectural design!

At this time, a deep voice came from the sect's mansion: "Little girl, you are quite knowledgeable!"

As they were talking, two old men and a young man walked out.

One of the old men had white hair and beard, a burly figure, and deep eyes. When he stood there, he was like a towering mountain, motionless as a mountain, giving people a feeling of majesty without even being angry.

He looks extremely powerful, and although he is old, he is in good spirits!

The other old man had a face as red as a date, and his short hair as thin as steel needles had turned gray, but his complexion was ruddy, and he had a pair of big, copper-bell eyes that were bright and lively, and his shoulders were extremely broad.

Although the robe he wore was very loose, his extremely strong figure could still be seen when he moved, like a broad and solid fortress.

The person who spoke just now was this old man, and the young man standing next to him was 80% similar to him.

The old man looked at the silver-haired girl standing in the front. Her silver hair was particularly eye-catching.

And for some reason, the two old men felt that the little girl had a powerful strength underneath her cute appearance.
