With Happy and his group's hard work, the Murong Clan's tribute was finally stolen by a group of nameless mountain bandits in the territory of Yangzhou. Once Happy and his group ran away, the four armed escorts ran away without hesitation, causing the people who received the quest to steal the tribute to receive the news that their quest had changed midway.
Since the tribute had been stolen ahead of time, the targets of the groups of people changed from the Murong Clan's carriages to a mountain stronghold to snatch the tribute, and the difficulty of robbing it increased by leaps and bounds!
After hearing this news, the people who stayed far away were furious. They had no choice but to move away from the chosen ambush spot and prepare to go up the mountain to fight.
As for who would end up in the hands of the tribute, Happy did not care.
Once the group split up, Happy bade farewell to his five sect members and entered Yangzhou City alone on his horse!
Yangzhou was as famous as Suzhou. It was also a very prosperous and famous ancient city …
On the way there, Happy had observed the place very carefully. Regardless of whether it was the tavern or the sundry goods shop, there were many players gathered around it. Business was booming, and the place was very popular.
Along the way, he had seen many experts in Yangzhou City.
He did not know whether it was because of the escort carts, but the number of Blessed Realm players in World of Martial Arts had increased by a lot, and he ran into quite a number of players who fought against ferocious beasts on his way.
Other players might not pay too much attention to it, but Happy could quickly determine the source of a person's martial arts based on their martial arts, sect, and background. Hence, the players who trained hard in high-tier martial arts would be discovered the moment they revealed a few moves.
Especially …
Happy remembered that when he passed through a dense mountain, he saw a White Tiger with an extraordinary presence fighting fiercely against two players. In terms of strength, the White Tiger was at the middle stage of Blessed Realm, and it was far stronger than the Great Wolf. The White Tiger Pelt was also a luxury item that cost thousands of taels of silver crumbs. It could be used to refine White Tiger Battle Armor, a masterpiece that was worth tens of thousands of taels of silver crumbs. However, Happy did not want to cause a misunderstanding, so he did not slow down and continued riding forward.
Now that he thought about it, he felt rather regretful. In any case, he had a million taels of silver on him. It was not a bad deal to buy a piece of white tiger pelt.
With faint regret in his heart, he rode into Yangzhou City.
"Come down!"
The soldiers at the city gate did not hold back. They pointed their spears at the horses and blocked their way.
"Do you know the rules? You must dismount before entering the city! "
At the city gate, quite a number of players who were originally incredibly jealous of Happy put on gloating expressions and laughed in secret.
Happy was stunned, and he tugged at the reins.
Looking at the iron-faced soldiers standing at the entrance, Zhang Xuan suddenly recalled some matters and couldn't help but smile.
In ancient times, these soldiers were quite powerful!
Those with official positions are afraid of you.
If you're strong, he'll be afraid of you.
Another one is rich. He likes you.
The soldiers would not stop these three types of people …
The first type was when an official's position was higher than his, and it was mostly because of the accumulation of military merits. A mere soldier, no matter how bold he was, would definitely not dare to stop him.
The second type were the people of the Jianghu.
The soldiers were rather wary of this sort of person. After a long period of experience, they had developed a pair of discerning eyes that normal people did not have. As long as the person was a martial artist who was above Blessed Realm, they would let them pass.
The last one didn't have a military title or powerful strength, so what did they rely on?
A carriage!
A horse could show a person's identity and status. For example, the normal horse Happy rode on was only worth two thousand taels of silver crumbs. It was very normal, and it would naturally not make the soldiers at the entrance soften.
Only the horses with extraordinary temperaments, such as Ferghana, Wind Chaser, and Red Hare, which were worth thousands of taels of silver crumbs, could show how rich they were.
When they ran into such people, the soldiers would not stop them. They would turn a blind eye to them and let them pass.
Right then, Happy did not have the chance to obtain military merits, and he had not reached Blessed Realm either. Even though he could buy a horse, it was impossible for him to bring out a large stack of silver notes to buy a steed.
Just when quite a number of players stopped at the city gate to watch the outsiders get into a commotion, Happy calmly brought out a silver note from his Universe Bag. Under the incredulous gazes of the players around him, he stuck the silver note to the longspear that was almost pointed at his nose and wrapped his fist in his palm.
"It's my first time here, and I do not know the rules. Please forgive me."
"Heh."
"Not a problem. Not a problem."
The impartial and strict expressions on the faces of the two soldiers guarding the city instantly disappeared. They put away the silver notes in a slick manner and put on cunning smiles.
"When we're outside, we rely on our brothers! Alright, let's go in. "
They put away their longspears and accepted the bribe without batting an eyelid in front of the players around them. Then, they made way for Happy.
Happy wrapped his fist in his palm again.
Then, he slapped his horse's butt and leisurely entered the city.
Of course …
In truth, Happy was not intentionally being flashy. Time was money, and he was used to entering and exiting the city on horseback in his previous life. He did not pay much attention to such things, and his actions were done very naturally. He did not notice the strange expressions on the players' faces and strange reactions.
"Where did this brat come from?"
"He's so damn arrogant! He bribed them with one hundred taels of silver crumbs and let them pass. Even if he's rich, he shouldn't be showing off like this, right? "
"Damn it."
…
"He can actually do this?"
"Damn it, when this is posted online, it'll definitely be a huge piece of news!"
The players around the city gate had different reactions, but none of them affected Happy.
Once he entered the city, Happy asked someone about the largest trade market in Yangzhou City. Then, he patted his horse and went there. Even if there was a huge crowd, horses still moved faster than people. The players around him maintained a distance from him and did not run into him. Soon, he surpassed the players around him.
The closer he got to the market, the more people there were. All sorts of shouts rose and fell.
"They're selling all sorts of martial art manuals!"
"Supreme grade defensive martial art manual Iron Shirt! Only eight thousand taels of silver crumbs! Those who want it, hurry up!"
"Great Wolf Pelt! Gusu City's specialty! Three thousand five hundred taels of silver crumbs each! Those who want it, hurry up! We don't have a lot of stock left …"
"Forming a party to steal tributes! If you know, come! Only Blessed Realm party members! Big bro, please know the best! "
"High-quality Jinchuang Ointment! It's priceless! Five hundred taels of silver crumbs for one bottle!"
"Selling equipment and weapons!"
"Don't miss out on this! Take a look!"
All sorts of noise rushed into Happy's ears from all directions. It was as if he was in a huge farmer's market. However, Happy did not feel any discomfort. Instead, he enjoyed it. He looked down at the stalls to his left and right, searching for things that he might be interested in or need.
"Who is this person?"
As of then, there were not many players who had the right to enter the city on horseback, and there were even fewer who knew how to do it. Happy, who sat on his horse, soon became a popular person in the market.
Many of the stall owners deliberately raised their voices when Happy was about to pass by them and shouted even louder.
However, there were not many things that could attract Happy's attention. He never stopped.
Then, Happy noticed a man who stood like an iron tower not too far away from him. The man's eyes shone brightly as he stared at Happy with great interest. There was an empty area in front of him, showing that he had placed items for sale. But strangely, the man did not shout a single word from the start to the end, but there were more players surrounding him than the other stalls.
Happy was instantly interested.
