357: C357 Money Opens the Way

C357 Money Opens the Way

The two of them were talking there.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the pass.

There were many merchant caravans there waiting in line for inspection.

When a guard saw them, he immediately waved at them and yelled, "What are you doing? Why aren't you lining up? "

Xiao Yun ignored him.

Because of hostler.

Sure enough, he jogged over and whispered something into the guard's ear.

The guard's attitude had obviously changed.

He bowed and greeted hostler.

It was as if he had an official position.

Soon, the guard led hostler and Xiao Yun into the Flawless Elm Pass from the side.

Rather than calling it a pass, it was more like a long strip city.

The gate of the pass was more like a tunnel that was over a hundred meters long. Those who passed the inspection needed to pass through this gate and walk outside before they could be considered to have left the pass.

As for the space inside, it was actually a city.

After entering through the side door, everything became clear.

Although the city was small, the facilities in other cities were all there.

The guards brought the four of them all the way to one of the residences.

After saying a few words to the guard, the guard tilted his head and looked at hostler, then nodded at him.

After that, he walked through the door. It was obvious that he was looking for someone.

Xiao Yun looked around and then smiled. "I didn't expect this place to be so good. From the outside, it looks like a huge city wall. I didn't expect it to be a city."

Hostler smiled and said, "Young Master must rarely go out."

" Oh? How do you know?"

" The few passes in Sun Moon Country all look like this. The outside looks like a city wall, but the inside is actually a city. Each impregnable pass has been built for over a hundred years! The stones used were transported from a hundred miles away. The reason why our Sun Moon Country can attack others is because no one else can attack us. These few impregnable passes have played an important role! "

"Oh, so that's the case. I really don't know about this."

Xiao Yun smiled.

He looked very sincere.

However, in hostler's eyes, this wasn't an empty heart. It was a kind of high and mighty aura!

He was the son of a wealthy family. He didn't need to know about all these. He believed that he only needed to eat, drink, and have fun every day at home.

This was the life he envied the most.

It was also a life that he didn't dare to imagine at all.

Not knowing anything was originally a type of luxury!

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a woman walked out from the small door.

She was dressed like a servant girl, but there were flowers and hairpins on her head. She seemed to be more wealthy than an ordinary servant girl.

She frowned and looked at hostler. She curled her lips and said, "Why are you here again?"

But then she saw Xiao Yun and the others.

She paused for a moment, then smiled and said to hostler, "Cousin, why don't you introduce us?"

This kind of thing. This kind of face-changing technique was pretty good.

Hostler immediately felt that he also had face and hurriedly said, "This young master is a rich and powerful person in the capital! This time, he was the only one who took the lead. He came out to do business, but he was afraid that he would be delayed. So, I want to ask your wife to put in a good word in front of the general and see if she can make an exception. "

Xiao Yun did not say his identity.

He did not mention his name either.

However, it was obvious that hostler had already made up his mind.

Then, he filled it in.

It also guaranteed Xiao Yun's mysteriousness.

He made it seem like he really was a rich and powerful family.

The Wan family's maidservant was clearly stunned for a moment.

If he was from a wealthy family, how could he let someone like his cousin agree with him?

Who was his cousin? He was a character that couldn't wait to be shown.

How could he know someone from a wealthy family?

But...

Two people were following behind the young master in front of him.

One was obviously a maid. Judging from her attire... she was just a country bumpkin, a country bumpkin.

However, the guards following behind him were obviously powerful figures!

Putting aside his burly figure, just by looking at the long saber at his waist, one could tell that this fellow was not an ordinary person.

Most importantly, with Xiao Yun's attire, he was truly a little too rich!

Isn't that the material of the Celestial Diao Abode?

Even the wife only had a set of fine clothing in her hands. It was made of this material and normally, she would not be willing to wear it. She would only wear it once when she was outside, or when there was an important banquet.

In the end, when she wore it, she was unwilling to even sit, afraid that her clothes would be crushed.

She had never thought that someone would place this kind of cloth on a cloak!

Just by looking at the fabric, she knew that this young master was really a young master in the capital.

She first smiled politely at Xiao Yun, then said with some difficulty, "Young master, it's not that I don't want to do this, it's just that this matter is of great importance, there is really nothing I can do about it..."

Xiao Yun smiled, then stretched out his hand.

Gua immediately moved closer sensibly.

She opened the package in her hand.

She placed it in front of Xiao Yun.

Within the package were a few pieces of jewelry.

This was the only piece of jewelry in the world, the jewelry from the Xiao family workshop!

The degree of luxury and finesse would definitely make the first person who saw it unable to look away.

Especially Gua's clothes, which were so tattered.

In the city, she was no different from a beggar.

On the contrary, it made the jewelry in front of her look even more gorgeous!

The maidservant's eyes immediately lit up.

She knew that it was rude, but she couldn't stop looking at the jewelry.

Xiao Yun spread his hands and said, "Choose one."

"Huh?!"

The servant girl was stunned.

She suspected that she was hallucinating.

Xiao Yun said again, "These few little things, just treat it as a meeting gift. You can choose one. Any one of them will do."

"This..."

This time, the maid was sure that she had not misheard him.

However, she began to doubt if she was dreaming.

This... How is this possible?

Such a precious thing, would there really be someone who would give it away so casually?

This was simply impossible.

"What? Don't you like it?"

Xiao Yun's words caused the maidservant's body to tremble.

The corners of her eyes twitched violently a few times.

"Really... Can I?"

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "It's just some small things, not something important. What else can I not do? What this young master said is the words of the mountain peaks. Naturally, I won't go back on my word because of these small things."

The maidservant was truly shocked.

She still didn't quite believe it.

So she really came to choose.

While choosing, she also looked at Xiao Yun's expression.

However, she found that Xiao Yun didn't even look at her. He was looking at the main door of the mansion.

The corners of the maid's eyes twitched a few times.

She then reached out and picked up a model that she liked when she compared the price.

It wasn't the most expensive one, but rather a smaller piece of jewelry.

After all, she knew that after she chose it, her wife would also have the chance. If her jewelry was better than hers, she was afraid that her wife would be unhappy.

After choosing it, she took it to Xiao Yun and said with a trembling voice, "My daughter... Can I have this?"

Xiao Yun did not even look at it and said, "Take it if you have chosen. This is a gift. If the matter is done, there will be a heavy reward."

The servant girl nodded heavily.

Now she understood. Xiao Yun was really rich and didn't take these few pieces of jewelry seriously.

She hurriedly put away the jewelry and then said in a low voice, "I'm sorry to bother Young Master to wait here for a moment. My daughter will go in and take care of it. After all..."

"Yes, you go ahead and do your work. I will wait here."

"Then... I'm sorry."

After saying that, the maidservant quickly ran back through the small door.

But she didn't close the small door.

Xiao Yun looked left and right.

Then, he sat down on a stone stool beside him.

He wrapped his collar tightly and exhaled a breath of white air.

"Even after such a long journey, he still hasn't escaped the winter. This world is truly huge."

When he left, he calculated the distance.

In this line of work, he had walked at least a few hundred miles, or even a thousand miles. Moreover, he had been moving southeast all the way.

If it was in the world from his previous life, the weather would definitely be much warmer.

After all, the closer they were to the south, the hotter it would be.

It might even exceed zero.

However, in this world, it was still winter.

This reminded him once again that this was not the world from his previous life!

This discovery made him despair, but at the same time, filled with hope.

After all, a completely unfamiliar world was the most interesting!

This time, he had waited for quite a long time.

Since he was bored, he tested the few pieces of jewelry on Gua's body one by one. He found that regardless of her appearance or clothing, they were all out of place with these few pieces of jewelry.1

When she wore them, it would seem out of place!

Xiao Yun helplessly smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that you are not suitable to wear jewelry. I originally wanted to let you choose two pieces."

Gua said, "These are all very beautiful things. But this servant does not like them very much."

"Why?"

"I don't know. I just feel that... it seems to be a little troublesome. "

"Er... Hahahaha!"

Xiao Yun burst into laughter.
