Li Yang also wondered why the city looked so dilapidated and backward.
The local officials here are so corrupt that they only "rob" openly. How can the city develop well? It is estimated that 90% of the profits are taken away by certain people.
Once he entered the city, he had to pay tolls and protection fees. Li Yang thought it was finally over.
What happened next almost made Li Yang paralyzed.
He wanted to ask someone if there was any suitable B&B nearby where he could stay temporarily.
As a reward, the man took a thousand dragon coins from Li Yang, and Li Yang gave it to him voluntarily.
As a result, several officers and soldiers came over and said that they were illegally obtaining assets and wanted to lock Li Yang and the others up.
Li Yang was unhappy at that time. Lock him up?
If he delays for just one day now, he might miss the time.
Finally, these officers and soldiers came to Li Yang to ask for bail, and Li Yang was completely overwhelmed. They just wanted money! Seeing that he was easy to talk to, they wanted to squeeze more out of them.
Okay, okay, that's how we play it, right? No need to act anymore!
It's already obvious that you are the one who is tricked, but what can you do to me?
Even Li Yang was a little angry. This was the first time in his life that he was treated as a cash cow. He really treated life like a piece of cake.
If I had known this earlier, I would rather not have come to this city.
Moreover, these people start asking for exorbitant amounts of money. They start with 100,000, which means 200,000 dragon coins in total for two people.
200,000 dragon coins are equivalent to a penny's income for an average family.
Li Yang originally wanted to keep a low profile, but now it seems he has no choice but to post it.
Zhao Linger was also very angry. Although this amount of money was nothing to her and was just some pocket money at most, she felt that the other party's attitude was too much. They kept doing this to her and looked down on her.
In the end, Zhao Linger fought fiercely and killed the two soldiers on the spot, and then made a phone call.
However, not long after, contrary to what they had imagined, these officials did not cause them any trouble. Instead, a high-ranking official came up to them politely and apologized.
Li Yang knew that Zhao Linger was mobilizing her connections. Although he didn't know what the other party had called, it solved the problem at hand and saved them a lot of trouble.
After that, no one dared to disturb them again.
We had been traveling all day and were exhausted. We finally made it to this town, but before we could even rest, we were treated like this. Anyone would be upset.
Later, local officials said they would find them a place to stay, give them a warm welcome, and even hold a banquet for them, but Li Yang finally refused. They just wanted to pass by here in a low-key manner, there was no need to make a high profile, they were not a star or anything.
But not many people knew their identities, only government officials.
Perhaps the corrupt atmosphere among the local government has also infected the city.
Next, Li Yang and his friends met some people who basically wanted to kill them and were not very friendly.
They went to several hotels in a row but all of them charged exorbitant prices.
It’s not that I can’t afford it, it’s just that the price is so different from the actual house.
Moreover, some accommodations that originally only cost a few thousand dragon coins a night cost tens of thousands of them because Li Yang and his group were outsiders and felt unsafe.
It is said that big cities are cruel, but this small county town may not be undangerous either, with traps everywhere.
After searching for a long time, the two finally got what they wanted and found a hotel to stay in in the city.
That is the room where Li Yang is now.
He is in the hotel now!
After realizing what was happening, Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the room, which was not particularly luxurious, it seemed to feel warm.
It turns out that so many things happened, it was really full of twists and turns.
Some people in this city are really cruel.
Thinking of what happened not long ago, Li Yang couldn't help but sigh.
This city is really cruel. Ordinary people would have been eaten to death if they came here. They came with clothes on and left naked.
Li Yang also wanted to leave the city as soon as possible.
It is no exaggeration to say that poor and bad mountains and rivers produce unruly people.
Thinking in his heart, Li Yang let out a breath.
Well, let it be. Anyway, this place will have nothing to do with me after a few days, and I probably won't come here again.
This was his first time using the space-time hourglass, and to be honest, he was a little excited.
He was afraid of failure.
But fortunately, the ending is still good.
Let them go from sleeping in the wilderness to sleeping in a small hotel in the city.
It is worthy of being one of the Twelve Divine Artifacts.
There's something about this effect.
Li Yang admired in his heart.
It is really possible to change the past and the future.
Is this the legendary power of time and space?
It's no wonder that so many people are scrambling for such a valuable item.
Now, he remembered that there was more than one artifact. There were twelve artifacts, of course, there were a full set. The effect of this artifact was even better than Li Yang had imagined. If he got the other artifacts...
Li Yang shook his head violently and came to his senses.
The pursuit of power is a good thing, but greed is a bad thing.
With his current strength, he is not yet that greedy.
Overcoming your own desires will help you progress further.
I glanced out the window and saw that it was still dark.
Li Yang lay back on the bed and fell asleep peacefully.
When the next day comes, we still have to continue our journey.
Time flies. Some people feel that time is very long, while others feel that it goes very fast. But it all depends on your current state. If you feel bored, you will feel that time passes very slowly.
But when you sleep, you will find that time passes quickly like a blink of an eye, and it seems like a moment has passed.
When the time came, Li Yang opened his eyes on time.
This hotel is not a particularly high-end accommodation. There is breakfast, but no one will bring it to you. You have to go downstairs to eat it yourself.
Li Yang just came down, and after a while, Zhao Linger also came down from the other side, stretching lazily.
The breakfast here is also very simple to prepare, just steamed buns and steamed bun porridge, simple and practical.
After breakfast, Li Yang and Zhao Linger prepared to continue their journey, but when they arrived outside the hotel, they found that their mounts were missing!
They were tied outside with ropes before going to bed at night.
Now there was no trace of it at all, and they quickly realized that it was very obvious that it had been stolen!
Li Yang was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. How could he not have thought that this mount was quite valuable and might really be coveted by someone?
You have to know that this city is relatively backward and people living there are financially tight, so there are quite a few people who have evil thoughts and go astray.
Li Yang shrugged helplessly. He had no choice but to ask again if there were any mounts for sale in the city. Otherwise, it would probably take them several days to walk there.
But when they came to the vendor selling mounts, they were dumbfounded.
Why do these two walking beasts look so much like the two mounts they lost last night?!
