326 Tough (medium)

Chen Xiansong and Bai Min returned to the hotel. He lay on the bed and stretched comfortably. This was the best hotel in the city. Although it was not very luxurious, the bed was washed quite clean. The pure white quilt was covered with a bit of jasmine fragrance. Bai Min stood aside and looked at Chen Xiansong. After a while, he said: "Xiaosong, let's go directly to the door. Can't kidnap the city lord by force? Time is very urgent now, and I'm worried that something will happen to Sister Qianxin."

"I'm worried too." Chen Xiansong sighed sadly. He also wanted to pass the Panama Strait quickly and go to North America immediately. But the problem is that the two countries have been doing everything they can in war for hundreds of years. Both sides have been building city walls for hundreds of years, and on the coastlines of both sides, they have built a "Great Wall by the Sea" on their own, sealing the places where their country can land on sea.

If you go around the seaside, you have to walk a long and wide sea route. When the hovercraft runs on the sea route, it will be fine for a day and a night when the waves are calm, but you are afraid of strong winds and waves on the sea. The hovercraft's hull is not deep into the water and is easily overturned. Moreover, the climate at the sea is unpredictable, so Chen Xiansong rejected this idea.

"But I believe that the city lord will come to see us soon!" Chen Xiansong turned over on the bed and said confidently: "A foreign nobleman who was unknown to his city came to his own city. If I were him, I would definitely meet him, not to mention that this city has always been in a state of war readiness and is very sensitive."

Bai Min believed Chen Xiansong's judgment and stopped talking. Then she was hugged by the man and hugged her together for a nap. When they got up, the butler who came from the city lord happened to be at the hotel, left the invitation and left.

"It seems that the other party is more anxious than I thought." Chen Xiansong looked at the blue invitation in his hand, and then threw it aside: "Although we didn't know the local city lord's hobbies, there is always nothing wrong with making some preparations. We came out in a hurry and didn't carry anything like treasures. After thinking about it, let's give him some small recipes."

Since the city lord was lustful, he even gave him a diet therapy and body-strengthening prescription. Chen Xiansong asked the waiter to send paper and pen. After thinking for a while, he started writing it up. He finished it after not much. Then he smirked, folded the prescription and placed it in a brocade box for gifts.

This is indeed a good prescription for strengthening one's body, but it can also greatly suppress people's "xiyu".

In the evening, Chen Xiansong brought Bai Min in full costume to the City Lord's Mansion. Compared with the City Lord's Mansion in Heiyan City, the City Lord's Castle here is taller and larger, and there are more secret whistles. Chen Xiansong was warmly welcomed as soon as he arrived at the door, and four men in gorgeous clothes came out.

There are only four nobles in the entire city, and now they are all here to welcome Chen Xiansong, which is indeed very respectful. When the two got off the carriage, the eyes of the four men were all concentrated on Bai Min. She was wearing a white maid costume of the 23rd century, and looked particularly beautiful.

These four are middle-aged people. Compared with other nobles of the same age, their appearance and temperament are older and more frosty. They deal with war all day long, and they cannot eat well or sleep well, so they will naturally age much faster. The first person to withdraw their gaze from Bai Min was the middle aristocrat in the middle. He was brown-haired and blue-eyed. Compared with ordinary nobles, his body looked very strong. His skeleton was much larger, and most importantly, he had a vicious aura on his body.

There are so many people who kill, and there will be evil spirits when they rush to the sky and rob the earth. The man looked at Chen Xian and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, I'm glad you were invited to attend my banquet. We haven't held a banquet for a long time, it's probably more than three years, and the most important thing is that there is nothing worth holding a banquet, and we can't invite people at ordinary times. The three of them are my relatives and we often meet. There is no reason to hold a banquet. And you, your arrival has given us a good excuse."

Chen Xiansong already knew the name of the city lord from the invitation, Lancelot. This name made the corners of his mouth twitch. The reason is very simple. In historical legend, Lancelot is a dragon-slaying warrior, a handsome man, and a song-shaped protagonist. However, although Lancelot in front of him is a bit heroic, he was defeated by a pair of excessive indulgence in dark circles.

Chen Xiansong also introduced himself. In front of ordinary people, he said that he was a little noble, but here, he mentioned his other identity, the chairman of the Soul Thinker Association, Black Rock City, Kate Kingdom.

As soon as the title was reported, Lancelot frowned, and the other three people were surprised to take their eyes off Bai Min. The soul-thinking person is rare and noble, and the branch president stands at the top of the pyramid. What does such a person come to this place from the Kingdom of Kate?

With such questions, Lancelot invited Chen Xiansong into the castle. The food and wine had been settled here long ago, and there were waiters around him, but even compared with a small town like Black Rock City, the banquet here seemed very shabby, with not enough dishes, no musicians, and groups of beautiful ladies.

Of course, Chen Xiansong would not care about these things, but it can be seen from here that the city is in trouble.

Drinking the slightly sour ale, Chen Xiansong said, "Your Excellency, this is my little concern, please accept it."

Bai Min handed the brocade box up. Unlike the Zhendan Kingdom, people here have the habit of opening gifts in front of the guests. Lancelot opened the gift box and saw that it was a piece of white paper. He was stunned for a moment, then opened it for a while and asked curiously: "Your Excellency, are you?"

"This is a special dietary therapy prescription that can extend lifespan and strengthen physical abilities." Chen Xiansong laughed and said, "Maybe I am a soul-thinking person and cannot learn elemental abilities, otherwise I would have used it myself."

When the other three people heard this, they immediately stared at the city lord with bright eyes. Lancelot immediately put the prescription away and said happily: "Your Excellency, thank you for your generous gift. Come on, I'll give you a cup."

Chen Xiansong and he touched the wine glass, and it was not surprising that the other party had such a reaction. In this era, the average life expectancy of a person is less than 58 years old. A special prescription that can extend life and strengthen physical fitness will certainly arouse the interest of anyone. Not everyone can live for so long like the old man in Black Rock City. Especially for the nobles, life is more important than strength.

"This kind of prescription must be very valuable." Lancelot glanced at Bai Min, and then returned to Chen Xiansong: "I am naturally grateful to you for giving him to me. I am a nobleman, but I am even more a soldier. I don't like to talk around the bush. There are proverbs in the Zhendan Kingdom. If you give me politeness, you will ask for something. Your Excellency, do you have any places to help me?"

The nobles who were infected with the habit of military personnel generally spoke more directly, and Lancelot was the same. Chen Xiansong and Zelonger and his son were used to getting along with each other, and they didn't think it was strange. He smiled and said, "It's true, Lord City, I have something to ask you for help."

"Say." Lancelot looked up with a dignity and made a gesture of inviting people.

Chen Xiansong pointed to the south and said, "I believe in the Sun God and want to worship at the Sun Pillar once, but before that, I must pass through you. So I hope that you can open the door of convenience and open the city gate tomorrow and let me leave."

Lancelot pondered for a while and said, "Your Excellency, this matter is not easy to deal with. You also know that our country is fighting against the shit in the south. The walls of both sides are not far apart. As long as the city gates are wide open, they will definitely find a way to rush over. And a city gate like ours will take a long time from opening to closing. If something happens, no one can bear the responsibility."

Although the other party made a lot of sense, Chen Xiansong knew that Lancelot's words were just a refusal. The candlelight was faint, and the other three nobles did not speak, and the living room was very quiet. Chen Xiansong shouted and said, "There will always be a solution. Your Excellency, as the local city lord, I believe you can help me."

"I don't lack money, power... If I can leave this damn city and go to another place to be a noble, I can also consider it." As he spoke, he looked at Bai Min for a while, and then said as if nothing had happened: "Women... I am no longer interested in ordinary women, but if they are very special women, I may be able to think of a way for you."

"That's it." Chen Xiansong understood what the other party meant. He had a smile on his face, but he was extremely angry: "Since that's the case, I'll go back and find a beauties or two for you."

"Why don't you have to go back? Isn't it here..."

Lancelot suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the nobleman from continuing to speak, and then said to Chen Xiansong: "Your Excellency, you can do the things. I just need to get what I want safely."

Chen Xiansong did not respond, but smiled and took Bai Min away directly. After walking out of the castle, his face turned cold. Lancelot actually hinted that he would give Bai Min to him before opening the city gate. He sneered, saying that first tribute and then soldiers were his plan, so next, we had to make some preparations.

In the castle, a nobleman asked Lancelot: "Brother-in-law, why did you let them go? Although the soul-thinking person is very noble, as long as you use it, there will be an unknown corpse in the stinky ditch tomorrow, and that woman will belong to you... This is Yil City, with many thugs and spies. Who knows how he died? Then press the charge on others..."
