Chaotic Sword God

Four hundred and nineteenth chapter Inn storm (a)

Hearing that Jian Chen was going to the Qiangan Kingdom alone, the eyes of the three powerhouses in the Gesun Kingdom showed a hint of surprise, and they couldn't figure out why, as the protector of the Qinhuang Kingdom, why did they feel so against Qiangan? The enmity of the Gan Kingdom is so great, even though the Qiangan Kingdom has sent a strong person to intervene in this matter, but this alone seems not enough to make Jian Chen do so.

Although several people felt very puzzled in their hearts, due to their identities, they didn't dare to ask, and could only hold it in their hearts.

"Lord Protector of the Nation, let Xiaotian go with you." Xiaotian said, Jian Chen's strength is not yet at the level of a Saint King, and he was afraid that Jian Chen would encounter danger during this trip.

Jian Chen shook his head, and said: "No, I can go alone. Xiaotian, you can stay here for the next few days to prevent the strong men from the Fenglan Kingdom from attacking again."

A hint of helplessness appeared on Xiaotian's face, and he said, "Okay, the Master Protector of the Country must be more careful on this trip, although a few strong men died in the Qiangan Kingdom, there are still many strong men in them. "

Afterwards, Jian Chen left Huang'en City alone, flew in the sky at a height of one thousand meters, and rushed towards Qiangan Kingdom. And in his arms was holding a tiger the size of a kitten.

Originally, Jian Chen didn't intend to bring the little white tiger there, but before he left, the little white tiger clung to him and was forced to take him away together. He is also very confident in his current strength. In front of the opponent, he believes that he has the ability to protect the safety of the little white tiger.

In a blink of an eye, the sky had already darkened. In a second-tier city in the Qiangan Kingdom, the number of people on the street also decreased rapidly, and the originally bustling city gradually became quiet.

At the gate of the city, a man who looked like a general looked at the sky, and then said to the people below: "The time has come, close the gate."

Immediately, more than a dozen soldiers ran out, and together they pushed the heavy city gate to close slowly.

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, a voice came in from outside the city gate, and then a white shadow flickered away. At the moment when the city gate was about to close, a man holding a small monster in his arms The young man had entered the city at an extremely fast speed, and then walked away.

Those soldiers didn't stop the youth from entering. They guarded the city gate and saw many people all day long. They had already developed a pair of piercing eyes. From the speed at which the youth came in, it could be seen that the strength of the opponent was very strong. , at least also a Great Saint Master.

This young man was Jian Chen. It was getting late now, and Jian Chen didn't want to go to the Qiangan Kingdom's palace in the middle of the night, so he planned to rest for one night and continue on his way tomorrow morning.

Holding the well-behaved little white tiger in his arms, Jian Chen walked on the already somewhat deserted street, and entered several inns in a row, but all the guest rooms were full and there were no more rooms left.

At this time, Jian Chen entered a small inn and asked, "Boss, are there any spare rooms?"

"Yes, yes, I don't know how many rooms do you want objectively?" Immediately, a young man in his twenties came out of the room and said with a smile on his face.

Seeing the young man's face, Jian Chen was stunned, and a person's face suddenly appeared in the back of his mind, but he quickly came back to his senses, and said: "Give me the best inn, Also serve me a plate of barbecued beef." As he spoke, Jian Chen flipped his hand, and a gold coin appeared in his hand, and he handed it to the young man.

The young man immediately took the gold coin thrown by Jian Chen, and said with a smile, "Guest officer, please sit down wherever you want, and I'll serve you food right away." After saying that, the young man walked down.

Jian Chen stared blankly at the back of the young man leaving, and gradually became deep in thought, casually walked to a clean table beside him and sat down, the face of Uncle Kent from before could not help appearing in his mind, and fell into into the memories of the past.

"Objective, the dishes you want are here." But after a while, a voice woke Jian Chen from his contemplation, and he saw that the waiter had already placed a large plate of barbecue beef in front of Jian Chen's table. The young man who left.

"Woooo..." The little white tiger let out a happy cry, jumped onto the table with a vertical leap, and began to gulp down without any hesitation.

Seeing the little white tiger's behavior, Jian Chen couldn't help showing a wry smile, and said: "Give me a plate of barbecued beef."

"Okay, objective!" The young man readily agreed, and then left.

Jian Chen looked at the inn. This inn is not big. There are only twenty or so old wooden tables in total. They have been wiped clean and shiny. The middle-aged woman was sitting in front of the counter and kept doing calculations. The sound of the fluctuations of the abacus was endless, and there seemed to be no one else in the entire inn except for this young man who was a waiter.

Just at this moment, a few tall, bare-chested men came in from the outside, and one of them immediately shouted: "Madam Boss, the deadline for this month is up, hurry up and pay all the fees that should be paid."

After hearing this, the middle-aged woman who was calculating in front of the counter raised her head and looked at the men, with a look of embarrassment in her eyes. After talking for a while, she took out a handful of silver coins from under the counter and said: "A few nights, the sound of the shop is not good this month, and it can barely make ends meet. It doesn't even have the cost of hiring a buddy, so it can only spend so much."

"That's how much, one hundred and thirty-five silver coins, you think we are beggars, I don't care about your business, in short, three gold coins a month is not less than a penny." A big man shouted fiercely, Dayou meant to start doing it when he disagreed with each other.

The proprietress was forced to have no choice but to put on a bitter face, and reluctantly took out a handful of silver coins again, the total amount was just three hundred.

Several big men counted the number of silver coins and left here after confirming that they were correct.

Just as they left, the young man came out with a plate of barbecued beef and said, "Mother, are they here to collect the fee again?"

"Yes." The middle-aged woman said with a sigh, looking weak, her face full of worry.

"Mother, we can't go on like this. How much money do we make a month? Once we pay the fee, we have nothing left." The young man said with an indignant expression.

The middle-aged woman sighed, and said: "There is no way to do this. Why do we have no one behind us to support us? It's the same wherever we go."

Hearing this, the young man lowered his head with a look of helplessness.

"Shopkeeper, I don't know what fees they charge? Do all the shopkeepers have to pay?" Jian Chen who was sitting not far away suddenly asked.

The young man wiped the table carefully with a towel in his hand, and said without raising his head, "Of course it's the protection fee and the site fee. Three gold coins a month is indispensable. Our small shop only earns ten gold coins a month." A few gold coins, after excluding the five gold coins handed over by the City Lord's Mansion, there are not many left, and we can barely make ends meet."

"Does every shop have to pay such a fee?" Jian Chen continued to ask.

The young man shook his head and said: "The tax of the City Lord's Mansion must be handed over by every shop, but those people in the back are members of the mercenary regiment. The small shops backed by the backstage charge fees indiscriminately."

Jian Chen fell silent, he also knew in his heart that such things happen no matter where, in this world where the strong prey on the weak, if you don't have strength, you can only be bullied, this is almost the unspoken rule of every world.

"Miss Boss, are there any free rooms?" At this moment, a voice came from outside, and a few young men in white robes came in from outside.

Seeing the guests coming up, the clerk in the inn quickly greeted them, and said with a smile on his face, "Yes, there are, of course there are guest rooms. I wonder how many rooms do the guest officers need?"

Several young people looked around the inn arrogantly, frowned slightly, and said with some dissatisfaction: "This inn is too bad, can the young master get used to it?"

"We came too late, the other inns are full, so let's make do with it first." Said a young man beside him.

"That's the only way, shopkeeper, we have booked all this inn, and drive out all those irrelevant people." A young man said arrogantly.

Hearing this, the shop waiter and the middle-aged woman sitting at the counter both looked embarrassed, and the middle-aged woman said: "Guest officer, we still have a lot of rooms left in our inn, so it should be enough for you to rest. "

"Stop talking nonsense, do what you are told, are you afraid that our Yangzong will not be able to pay you?" The young man in a white robe looked arrogant.

As soon as they heard that it was the Yang sect, the expressions of the middle-aged woman and the waiter changed. They had no choice but to go upstairs and invite all the guests who had already stayed in the inn. There was a loud swearing.

"Damn it, how does your store do business? I have already paid to live in you, sir. Why did you let me go temporarily? Do you want to open your shop? I am a member of the blood thorn mercenary group, sir." On the second floor of the inn Above, a deep voice came down, but the next moment, the speaker's voice suddenly changed, and exclaimed: "What, people from the Yangzong sect, forget it, just pretend that I didn't say anything."

Afterwards, a big man with a hunchback and a tiger's back quickly came down from upstairs.

Next, people came down from the second floor one after another. Although there were many people with hot tempers, as soon as they heard the name of Yangzong, they immediately tightened their necks and behaved obediently without saying a word. When he left here, his face was full of fear.

Soon, the guests in the inn were cleaned up, only one person and one beast were left leisurely eating barbecue beef on the first floor of the inn, seemingly indifferent to everything around them.

"Guest officer, I'm really sorry. You have to change to another inn. The two plates of barbecue milk and milk are also given to the guest officer for free. I hope the guest officer will forgive me." The waiter returned a gold coin to Jian Dust said with an apologetic face.
