At noon.

Gu Xia rode his horse and walked slowly on the way back to Xianfucheng.

At dawn, he left the town. Lei Tianyuan wanted to stay, but he didn't dare to stop him, so he had to let him go.

After leaving the town, Gu Xia dug up the buried silver and jewels and returned with a full harvest.

"Huh... It is indeed a horse specially bred by a wealthy family! It can really carry a thousand catties of weight."

The big white horse under Gu Xia not only carried people and a lot of luggage, but also carried hundreds of kilograms of silver and jewelry, and still moved forward steadily.

He tried it, and the horse could even trot.

"Why don't I go back and buy you. It will be more convenient for traveling in the future."

Gu Xia thought about buying the white horse, after all, he was now rich.

The 2,000 taels of silver, 100 taels of gold and a box of jewelry harvested from the Blood Demon Village, as well as the 100 taels of gold given by Lei Tianyuan, plus the scattered silver found from the bandits killed before, and the 50 taels collected by shopkeeper Gao from collecting the corpses. two.

Mr. Ling Ling, his net worth is already more than 5,000 taels of silver. He is not as rich as those wealthy businessmen or wealthy families, but he would be a wealthy family anywhere in Daqian.

These household resources are more than enough to support a horse.

But thinking about the bounty Gu Xia felt a little unhappy.

Lei Tianyuan prepared 500 gold to reward the Xuanwu monks who attacked the thieves. Gu Xia thought that Fan Tianyang and the other three were all dead, and all the gold should belong to him alone.

Unexpectedly, Lei Tianyuan said that the bounty would be used as a pension for Fan Tianyang's three families, but he was only given 100 gold.

"Damn it! I killed the three heads of the Sha Village, so I should be given half of them."

Gu Xia cursed the three dead people in his heart.

The Blood Evil Village has been eliminated, so Gu Xia never encountered bandits again on his way back to Xianfucheng.

However, occasionally there would still be some unsighted strongmen who saw him alone and tried to rob him, but they soon found that they had hit an iron plate, or the kind that broke bones and tendons.

About half a month later.

The cold winter season has already arrived.

Heavy snow covered the ground with a vast expanse of white, and a prosperous high city stood among the white snow.

Today is the last day of the year, and tomorrow is the new festival.

People come and go at the gate of Xianfu City.

The new guard Wang Yiyi was on duty at the door, questioning and checking people entering the city, and also collecting entry fees.

"Stand still! Stand still! Don't make any noise! ​​Pay the city fee quickly, otherwise you won't be allowed in!"

Wang Yiyi shouted.

Ever since he put on the soldier's clothes, his relatives and friends who usually looked down on him as an idle guy all looked at him differently, and the wine shop owner who often kicked him out now also treated him with respect.

"Thanks to my cousin's help for dragging me into the city defense barracks. I can be so proud!"

Wang Yijiang was in a good mood when he saw a young man riding a white horse approaching.

The horse was loaded with things. The young man looked like a scholar, and his clothes were not rich.

Wang Yiyi guessed that it was probably the accountant of which store who was doing the purchasing.

"For this kind of person, my cousin said I could pay more for it..."

He stepped forward and asked, "Who is he! What does he do?"

"Common people, learn from your master."

Wang Yiyi circled around the horse and saw that the young man had been sitting on the horse. He thought to himself: "I won't get off the horse after seeing the young master!"

He said, "The entrance fee is 5 silver coins!"

Young man: "Huh? I remember the entrance fee is a lot of money, isn't it?"

Wang Yijiang: "There are new rules! The New Year is here. Young Master, I stand here in the snow every day. Isn't it allowed to pay more for the gatekeeper?"

Hurry up! Otherwise, you are not allowed to enter the city! "

The young man said calmly: "I have money, but I don't want to hand it over."

"Hey! I think you want to go to jail and learn a lot!" Wang Yiyi said arrogantly.

Usually, when the small traders, peasants, and scholars hear the word "prison", they will be frightened and obediently pay the money.

But today's young people don't show any fear.

"I won't pay."

"Tmd! I rebelled against you!"

Wang Yiyi stretched out his hand to pull the young man off his horse.

Snap!

The young man raised his leg and kicked Wang Yiyi directly on the chest, knocking him to the ground.

The guard in thick cotton clothes fell to the ground and was unable to recover for a while.

"Brothers, this guy is causing trouble at the city gate! Catch him quickly!"

Wang Yijiang, who was lying on the ground, felt a huge pain in his chest, almost out of breath, and then he roared.

The other soldiers immediately surrounded the young man with spears and scimitars.

"Hurry up and capture him! Otherwise, you will be taken to prison and you will be punished severely!" the guard guard threatened.

The young man on horseback had no intention of surrendering yet.

"Who dares to offend an official?"

"The guard must have extorted money again."

"Young people are reckless and don't know how to live or die."

The people around seemed to be busy, and although they were dissatisfied with the guard's behavior, no one was willing to help.

Just when everyone thought a fight was about to start, they saw a sergeant dressed more elegantly approaching.

"what happens?"

"Cousin, this man is causing trouble at the city gate! He even hurt me!" Wang Yiyi, covering his chest, pointed at the young man on horseback.

The chief didn't get angry, but looked at the young man. As an old man, he instantly realized something.

“This man was wearing thin clothes despite heavy snowfall, yet he was calm and breathing smoothly.

And it looked like he had been on the road for a long time. His physique was definitely not that of an ordinary person, but probably that of a Xuanwu monk. "

Wang Shichang bowed his hands and asked, "Who are you, and why are you making trouble?"

Young man: "I remember that the entrance fee was one big coin before, how come it has become five coins today?"

Wang Shichang understood that his cousin was extorting money from the wrong person, and thought it was better to have less trouble.

He said: "Sorry, we made a mistake, the entrance fee is still a big coin."

"Here, I can enter the city now, right?"

The young man took out a big coin from his wallet and threw it in front of Wang Shichang casually, like alms.

The young man said again: "I heard that you are going to collect some kind of guard salary? I wonder if you can use bones to pay it when the time comes?"

He had something to say, obviously scolding the guards as watchdogs.

This frivolous gesture and tone caused dissatisfaction among Wang Shichang, who was always smooth.

He picked up the big coin: "Your Excellency has paid the entrance fee, and the misunderstanding has been resolved. But since you injured my men, shouldn't you give me some medical expenses?"

Young man: "Oh! You want medical expenses? That's fine."

He took out another small piece of silver from his bag and flicked it with his fingertips.

Suddenly, the broken silver shot out and hit Wang Yijian's hand exactly.

Snap!

Just like being shot by a crossbow, the broken silver directly opened a bloody hole in his palm.

"Ahhh!!!" Wang Yijian immediately covered his hand that was bleeding and knelt on the ground wailing.

Wang Shichang shuddered all over his body. With a flick of his fingertips, a piece of broken silver could have the power of an arrow. This was almost the realm of the legendary Xuanwu master who could hurt people with flying flowers and picking leaves.

"If you don't have enough flowers, you can come to Tianxuanmen to find me again! My surname is Gu and my name is Xia." The young man smiled kindly.

"Enough! Enough! Thank you, hero Gu, for the silver! I wish you a happy new year!"

Wang Shichang, who had been neither humble nor arrogant just now, suddenly became flattering and had no courage to stop it.

Just kidding, if it was an ordinary master, he could still report it to the captain who was in charge of the city gate.

But once the name of Tianxuanmen came out, he had no idea at all, because their captain relied on their good relationship with Tianxuanmen to get promoted.

Gu Xia said nothing, without even looking at him, and rode into the city.

"Hello, hero Gu!" Wang Shichang hurriedly bowed to see Gu Xia off.

"So you are from Tianxuanmen, no wonder you are not afraid of the guards..."

"It's what they deserve. Who let them always extort money? This time, they extorted the disciples of Tianxuanmen..."

The people around were whispering, all gloating, they were happy to see these city gate guards being taught a lesson.

Wang Shichang kept bowing until Gu Xia walked away, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"Quick! Carry this tactless waste to the clinic! Others, go to guard quickly, don't you see so many people in front of the city gate!"
