Lin Xiao suddenly felt funny when he saw the low-brow look of the shopkeeper of the grain and oil shop. It was really because of those words that he became so cowardly now despite how arrogant he was before!
but……
She, a weak woman who knows a little bit of boxing and kicking skills, can knock down several strong Turkic men. I guess the Turkic people are not that powerful!
It seems that the reason why Li Yuyan and the others were defeated by the Turks was probably due to the group of savages brought by Yu Xilin.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao glanced at Yu Xilin who was walking beside her with an inquiring look.
Yu Xilin felt Lin Xiao's gaze, raised his head slightly, and collided with Lin Xiao's gaze. Feeling that he was wrong, he quickly withdrew his gaze in a panic.
When Lin Xiao saw this, the corner of his mouth curled up with an unknown meaning.
Not long after, the shopkeeper took Lin Xiao and others to an inn called Chunfeng Tower.
Xiyue had a look of disdain on her face when she saw the name of the inn:
"Hmph, how can a thing that eats people without spitting out their bones have the honor to live in Chunfeng Tower?"
Lin Xiao couldn't help but frowned when he heard this. Listening to Xiyue's tone, Chunfeng Tower seemed to have some background!
Seeing Lin Xiao's confused look, Xiyue explained:
"This Chunfeng Tower is the property of the Turkic royal family. Not everyone is qualified to spend money there."
After finishing speaking, he added: "Of course, if you have money, you can spend it at any time, but the prerequisite is that you have to come up with enough silver!"
After hearing this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but click his tongue, it seems that this salt merchant is quite impressive!
"Little brother, my last home is in Chunfeng Building. You can just ask the waiter directly. I won't accompany you in. This Chunfeng Building... I am not qualified to go in!"
After that, the shopkeeper of the grain and oil shop ran away in a hurry.
Just as Lin Xiao was about to step into Chunfeng Tower, he was stopped by the waiter at Chunfeng Tower.
After the waiter took a few glances at the outfits of Lin Xiao and others, he arrogantly ordered the waiters in the store:
"Come here, get all these irrelevant people out, don't disturb the distinguished guests in the store!"
After listening to the waiter's instructions, the waiters in the store immediately stepped forward to drive away Lin Xiao and the others.
"Wait a minute, I think you are getting tired of living! How dare you be rude to this girl!"
After that, Xiyue took out a golden token from her arms and waved it several times in everyone's sight.
Seeing the golden token, the waiter at Chunfeng Tower showed even greater disdain:
"Hmph, you just want to scare people with a broken token, and you think you are the daughter of a high-ranking official. It's a joke!"
Yu Xilin, who had been silent, finally spoke and sneered:
"Do you know what this golden token is?"
Lin Xiao glanced at the token in Xiyue's hand and saw that it was covered in golden light and had two fierce eagles carved on it.
The eagle is a fierce beast in the hearts of the Turks, and only the royal family has always been qualified to use it.
I had long known that Xiyue had a noble status, but I didn’t expect that she would be a descendant of the royal family!
"It's just a broken token, I know what it does?!"
The waiter looked unconcerned.
"This is Prince Hao Lian's family card. Do you... know what it means?"
"Prince Hao Lian's family name?!"
The waiter was stunned for a moment, and then all the arrogant expression on his face faded.
"Yes, I'm sorry, dear lords, I'm too young to see Mount Tai. I hope you can understand me."
The waiter was all smiles and his attitude immediately became respectful.
"There's no need for Haihan, we're here to find someone."
Lin Xiao waved his hand and continued:
"Is there a salt merchant living in your Chunfeng Building?"
"Are you talking about Ma Yuanwai?"
The waiter asked tentatively.
"How many salt merchants do you have in Chunfeng Building?"
"No, no, there is only one horseman. However, the horseman has something to do. I'm afraid..."
Before the waiter finished speaking, Xiyue said directly with a face shake:
"Where has he been?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment and then replied:
"I don't know about the little one. He only said that something happened. The little one...the little one..."
"roll!"
Xiyue couldn't help but curse when she saw the timid look on the waiter's face.
"Forget it, he really doesn't know, and forcing him will not help. Why don't we just drink tea here and wait for him to come back!"
Lin Xiao glanced at Xiyue and said calmly.
Xiyue no longer hesitated after hearing this, nodded, and agreed to Lin Xiao's suggestion.
"Come here, prepare some wine and food. Let's drink while we wait for the horsemen to leave."
"I obey, little one."
Not long after, Ma Yuanwai returned to Chunfeng Tower with a scent of rouge. Apparently he had just returned from a gentle place.
He was followed by two young men. Although the men were dressed in fine clothes, they could not conceal their demeanor of having lived in poverty.
Obviously, they are nouveau riche!
Lin Xiao was stunned when he saw these three people. Isn't this Ma San, the patriarch of Majia Village, and his two sons, Da Ma and Xiao Ma?
When did they become involved in the sale of salt?
The terrain of Majia Village is flat and the land is fertile. There is a gentle stream in the front and towering hills in the back. It is a good place for planting.
Therefore, the people in Majia Village live a more prosperous life than those in Linjia Village. It cannot be said that every meal is rich in fish and meat, but it is not like they eat one meal but not the next.
Ma San has always looked down on the villagers of Linjia Village, and since he was disgraced by Lin Xiao last time, how could he put aside his dignity and join the brothers' workshop founded by Lin Xiao?
However, it is not difficult to guess. Today, Linjiacun has become one of the most prosperous villages by making and selling salt. Who doesn’t want to be associated with it?
Besides, who else would have trouble with Yinliang?
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao secretly sighed in his heart. Money can make the world go round. It has been an unchanging truth since ancient times!
