Chapter 69: Keel City Gate
Liu Kui's look before he left made Jiang Chen guess what he was planning.
While warming themselves by the fire in the ruined temple, Jiang Chen got up and walked to the door, quietly setting up a trap. He guessed that Liu Kui would leave and come back, and there must be more helpers around him.
Because if Liu Kui alone wants to kill people and get goods, he will still feel pressure when facing a man and two women. Only with two helpers will he think he can win.
In the end, he realized that he was very wrong. Unfortunately, sometimes people don't have the chance to correct their mistakes.
Jiang Chen told Mu Chang: "You did owe him a sum of money at that time, so there was no reason for me to forcefully rescue you from his hands. If I did that, it would inevitably hurt his life. It would appear that I was bullying the weak.
Already."
"But when I gave him the money, indicating that both my life and property were clear, he actually wanted to kill me and take away the money from me. Such a sinister act was exposed, so there was no need for me to be polite to him.
"
Mu Chang nodded and said convincingly: "I understand. Young Master has his own sense of propriety in doing things and must follow the laws of nature."
"Sister, do you understand? Why can't I understand? What does it mean?"
Mu Jin scratched his head and looked troubled.
"You, you usually don't listen when I ask you to read more. Now you know reading is useful."
Mu Chang loved her sister very much, and she was like an eldest sister.
The three of them continued on the road and finally arrived at Longjiang before dark. The famous gate of Longjiang City appeared in front of them, which looked like a monster with a wide mouth and sharp fangs.
It is said that this city gate was made of the dragon's bones, but everyone knows that this is just a myth. More people believe that the animal bones used to make the city gate should be from Longjiang.
The head of a big fish.
"If you use a fish head to make a city gate, how big is this fish?"
After hearing the legend about the city gate, Mu Jin couldn't help but sigh.
After entering Longjiang City, the words of Mu Chang and Mu Jin became less and less, and their steps became much heavier.
Jiang Chen asked: "What's wrong with you? If you have any difficulties, just tell me and I will try my best to help you solve it."
"Sir, can we... continue to follow you?"
Mu Chang said what she had been holding in her heart all the way, and Mu Jin also cast a pleading look at Jiang Chen.
It turned out that they remembered that Jiang Chen had said that he would separate from them after arriving in Longjiang. This made the two sisters feel heavy in their hearts. From the bottom of their hearts, they did not want to leave Jiang Chen's side.
After understanding the two sisters' thoughts, Jiang Chen persuaded them and said: "Mu Chang, Mu Jin, I still have some unresolved matters right now. Someone will come to trouble me soon. If you two keep following me, you will encounter trouble."
to danger.”
"Young master, we are not afraid. As long as we can be with you, no danger is important."
"It's better than this. I'll find a way to settle you down first. If I can return safely one day, I'll meet you again."
Jiang Chen talked hard and finally got the two sisters to accept his proposal, and then he started walking along the street looking for shops with the Lin family's signboard.
Lin Xuesong's business is spread throughout the southern border, and it is naturally not difficult to find his property within the boundaries of Longjiang.
"Sir, please come inside!"
"What can I do to take care of you today?"
The shopkeeper of this silk and satin shop nodded and bowed to Jiang Chen. When he saw two pretty women with slim figures accompanying him, he expected that a good business deal was coming to his door.
He has the best and most high-quality materials in the entire Longjiang City. Which rich lady or rich man doesn't like the fabrics here? They are a symbol of identity and status.
Jiang Chen has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a graceful demeanor. These two women also have delicate steps and are unparalleled. They look like they are children of a wealthy family. However, the clothes on these three people seem to be a little wrinkled, which obviously does not suit them.
Identity and temperament.
But no matter what, the old shopkeeper is confident that his judgment of people is still very accurate.
Under his enthusiastic gaze, Jiang Chen seemed a little embarrassed. When he said that he was not here to buy cloth and tailor clothes, but that he wanted to ask the shopkeeper for help, his old smiling face suddenly withered.
"help?"
"Young Master is really good at joking. We are just a silk and satin shop. How can we help?"
Jiang Chen replied: "I would like to ask the shopkeeper to find a place for the two girls, as long as they can settle down and live in Longjiang."
The old shopkeeper said angrily: "What a joke, isn't it just begging? This is the first time in my life that I have seen you so shameless!"
"I'm open for business here. If you can't afford the money, then get out of here!"
"Don't stop us from welcoming our distinguished guests!"
Good guy, this old face turned over faster than the pages of a book. Just as Jiang Chen was about to explain, the old shopkeeper had already called the waiters over and planned to kick them out unceremoniously.
"Wait a moment!"
"There is something I need to let you take a look at first. Later you will know that you shouldn't treat us like this."
The old shopkeeper sneered and said: "If you have any good things in you, get out of here."
But when Jiang Chen showed the "Dragon, Phoenix and Twin Butterflies" jade pendant, the old shopkeeper's cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with clarity, and his whole body seemed to be suddenly frozen, and he didn't move for a long time.
"You...who are you, and why do you have this pendant?"
"Lin Xuesong gave it to me." Jiang Chen told the truth.
As a result, the old shopkeeper almost knocked his head to the ground. After confirming that the jade pendant was indeed genuine, his attitude began to change dramatically.
"Young Master is here, I'm so rude, I deserve to die!"
"Invite the three of you, please come and have a look at the tea!"
After seeing the jade pendant, the old shopkeeper became even more flattering than when he first walked in. Mu Chang and Mu Jin were at a loss and couldn't figure out what was going on.
After being welcomed into the back hall and seated, Jiang Chen said, "It's my fault that I forgot about the jade pendant for a moment and caused the old shopkeeper to misunderstand."
"Bye bye bye, Young Master, you are speaking harshly. It's because I, an old and immortal person, am so dim-sighted that I don't recognize Young Master Lushan's true face. Please forgive me, Young Master."
After Jiang Chen explained his intention in detail, the old shopkeeper immediately agreed to find a place for the two sisters Mu Chang and Mu Jin to stay without saying a word.
"Please rest assured, young master, I will make arrangements for the two ladies properly and never let them suffer any injustice!"
Jiang Chen was about to drink tea, but he didn't swallow any of the tea and sprayed it all on the old shopkeeper's face.
