He Xie shook his head: "This is an insult to me, Bud."
He turned his wrist slightly, and suddenly there was another piece of gold in his palm. He tossed it in his palm, and casually threw it to Bud in the astonished eyes of Bud.
"I think you must have a way to let me pass through Changhu Town in a fair way without anything unpleasant happening," He Xie said with a smile, "I can see that you are a very capable person."
Bud held the piece of gold and fell into silence, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
When he caught the piece of gold, he had lost the courage to refute.
"You can't talk when you enter the town." Bud said solemnly.
"I listen to you." He Xie smiled, turned around, and said as if unintentionally: "I have had children, and I know what it's like to be a father. For them, I can carry the whole world on my back. This is great and worth it.
Being respected, at least that’s how I feel.”
Bud stared blankly at He Xie's back, the vigilance in his eyes dimming a bit unconsciously.
Changhu Town is a floating town surrounded by high walls to resist foreign enemies.
However, judging from the number of patrolling guards on the city wall, the security here is not very tight. On the contrary, there are more than twenty guards arranged at the toll bridge at the entrance.
When Bud was crossing the bridge, he was given trouble by a man named Alfred. Apparently these two men had never dealt with each other very well before.
Alfred tried to ask the guards to arrest He Xie several times, but he was stopped by Bud every time.
Not knowing what Bud said to him, Alfred showed resentment and fear and finally let him go.
"I told the guard that you are my deceased wife's cousin, and you are going to the Iron Hills to do ore business with the dwarves. If anyone questions you, don't reveal your secret." Back on the boat, Bard whispered while rocking the oar, "Later.
I will accompany you on all your purchases, you can only stay here until noon, and I will personally escort you out of town."
He Xie is good at everything, he doesn't want to cause trouble.
But trouble still comes unexpectedly.
Just when He Xie bought a good horse and just paid the money, Alfred led guards to surround him and Bud.
"Oh oh oh! Quietly, what did I see?" Alfred walked over with a proud smile and looked at the piece of gold in the horse dealer's hand with a greedy look in his eyes.
He took a step forward, grabbed the gold from the horse dealer's hand, and then pushed him aside. The horse dealer had a look of fear in his eyes and hurriedly stepped aside.
"Fred! What are you doing?" Bud asked angrily.
Alfred touched the gold in his hand, as if he were holding the breast of his first love girl, so fascinated and intoxicated.
"This piece of gold belongs to the mayor," he said slowly. "It was originally supposed to be placed in the drawer of the mayor's room, but now it is in the hands of your so-called ore merchant cousin. Bud, maybe
You should give me an explanation why you brought a despicable thief?"
"This is a shameful slander!" Bud was furious, "We have never been to the mayor's room!"
"Who can prove it?" Alfred smiled conspiratorially, "But I can find many witnesses to prove that this piece of gold belongs to the mayor, and..."
He looked at He Xie with evil intentions, and the greed in his eyes became stronger: "Maybe this thief stole more!"
He suddenly pointed at He Xie, his face sank and he shouted: "Search him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several guards immediately walked towards He Xie with sneers.
"Stop!" Bud shouted angrily and stopped in front of He Xie, "Fred, you are asking for trouble! I want to see the mayor!"
Alfred walked up to Bud, smiled contemptuously, grabbed his collar and said disdainfully: "You will meet the mayor, but it will be in a dirty and dark prison, as a pathetic accomplice of thieves."
"You..." Bud couldn't believe his ears.
Alfred leaned into his ear and whispered: "Maybe I should tell you that it was the mayor who discovered that his gold was missing, and he also saw with his own eyes a bastard with black eyes and yellow skin stole his gold.
Gold.”
After that, he sneered and took two steps back, waved his hand and said: "Arrest this shameful fellow thief!"
"No, you can't do this, you will bring disaster to Changhu Town!" Bud shouted anxiously. He suddenly turned his head to look at He Xie and shook his head desperately, "No, give me some time, I can solve it.
"
He Xie smiled back at him: "I believe in your ability, Bud, but I don't like using your method, so I'm sorry."
Before he finished speaking, two guards came forward, one on the left and one on the right, reaching out to grab He Xie's collar.
However, the next moment, He Xie disappeared before their eyes.
Everyone present was dazzled when they saw He Xie standing in front of Alfred.
"Do you like gold?" He Xie asked with a smile.
Alfred was still in a daze and had not yet reacted.
"Then you should eat it." He Xie smiled, grabbed his collar, turned his wrist, took the piece of gold back from his hand, and then stuffed it into Alfred
In virtue's mouth.
"Woo..."
Just as Alfred had time to show a horrified expression, He Xie gently slapped his head with the back of his hand, and he immediately swallowed the gold.
"Is it enough to eat?" He Xie asked with a smile, "Good things come in pairs, so let's have another piece."
After that, he turned his wrist and found another piece of gold in his hand. He stuffed it into Alfred's mouth again, forcing him to swallow the piece of gold as well.
"Kakaka..." Alfred's eyes protruded, veins popped up on his forehead, and his face was distorted. He pressed his throat desperately, looking very painful.
He Xie pushed him to the ground and clapped his hands.
He turned around and looked around, and asked calmly: "Does your mayor also like gold?"
The guards looked at each other, and the next moment, they all roared, drew their swords and charged towards He Xie.
"Hahaha..." He Xie suddenly jumped up with a long smile, and disappeared in a few leaps.
"No..." Bud covered his face helplessly, while everyone was in an uproar.
"He is a wizard, he can fly, he flew away!" someone shouted in horror.
No one could have imagined that Bard would actually bring a wizard.
"Kakakaka..." Alfred, who fell to the ground, began to twitch all over, blood gurgling from his mouth, rolling his eyes, reaching forward to grab something, as if he wanted to catch something.
"He can't be saved unless his stomach is cut open." Bud glanced at Alfred and sighed.
"Then what should we do now?" a guard trembled, "Alfred is dead and the wizard has escaped. How are we going to explain to the mayor?"
They looked at each other, and suddenly everyone's eyes fell on Bud.
