Chapter 321 Need for Talents

After Lin Yan successfully arrived at the imperial city, he walked west in the approximate direction of the dragon ascending.

Without even a momentum of admiring the only magnificent palace in the martial arts world, Lin Yan passed through the lively main road in front of the palace, left the area of ​​the palace at noon, and came to the suburbs west of the palace.

The suburban urban areas are far less lively than the capital, so there are naturally fewer people. However, the market towns here are still comparable to the most lively commercial area in the center of Xiaoshui City!

There is no doubt that the imperial city is the richest area in the entire martial world.

In order to hurry up, flying in the air is the most convenient way. But before entering the imperial city, Lin Yan learned a series of rules here. One of the less conspicuous ones is that anyone is strictly prohibited from flying in the air within 30 kilometers of the imperial city!

There are many such strange rules, such as warriors, for example, even if they are warriors here, they have to be restrained. If they are seen by the government, they will be surrendered. If they dare to escape, the government will definitely send great efforts to capture them. They will naturally send warriors to intercept them in the middle. Once they are caught, the charges will definitely aggravate. Therefore, the warriors commit crimes in the street are basically extinct here, because no one wants to know that they cannot fight against the government.

Such a strange term as the government is related to public security, curfew, etc., which constitutes such unique rules.

But after careful understanding, Lin Yan was glad that he had understood these rules.

Otherwise, if he violated even one of them, he, the person from the outer city, would definitely be in trouble.

Lin Yan learned from the inquiry that even warriors who have reached the realm of immortality will be honestly abided by the rules set by these emperors on the surface. To put it bluntly, in the imperial city, everyone is the emperor's subjects and must obey the emperor's orders.

Once the offense is violated, the terrifying government forces will be launched, and facing the dynasty machine, no matter how awesome a warrior is, he will have to admit defeat.

Under such circumstances, Lin Yan naturally gave up his plan to fly in the air and instead walked honestly.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Yan was still ten kilometers away from the place where the dragon ascended, and at this time, his place had become a medium-sized market town with beautiful mountains and rivers.

Of course, market towns of this size are compared with other market towns in Zhongzhou City. In Xiaoshui City, such market towns can still be considered within the center of Xiaoshui City.

Thinking that it was better to ride a carriage than to ride a carriage, and it was not easy to walk the wrong way by carriage, Lin Yan hired a fully enclosed carriage pulled by two horses and sat in the tent.

The car tent finally felt much more comfortable, unlike when I was rushing outside and having to endure the burning summer sun. Moreover, the coachman was very familiar with the terrain nearby. When Lin Yan said the name of Wenkou Town, the coachman answered cheerfully and had no questions and would definitely arrive before sunset.

Wenkou Town is only five kilometers away from the Ascension of the Dragon. Since the remaining five kilometers are vast mountains, Wenkou Town has become the last town where people gather. It is now three o'clock in the afternoon, so you can rest for a night when you arrive in Wenkou Town.

So, Lin Yan lay quietly in the carriage, allowing the carriage to rumble.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the carriage began to leave the street and boarded a dirt road.

This road is a must-pass place to Wenkou Town. It is said to be a dirt road, but it is actually covered with tiny stones, so the ground is relatively flat and it is not very bumpy when riding on the carriage.

The coachman probably wanted to arrive in Wenkou Town as soon as possible, and the road conditions were not bad, so he raised his whip and the carriage drove a lot faster.

But the good times didn't last long. The coachman hummed a song while driving the carriage. When he was a little absent-minded, he never avoided a string of wire rings on the ground that he had left behind by unknown people. Now, the wheels rolled rapidly. After touching the string of wires, they were actually wrapped in the wire and tighter and tighter.

The coachman still felt something was wrong after he noticed the harsh sound of the wheel on the right.

The carriage stopped, and Lin Yan heard the coachman curse "unlucky".

When he got off the car, Lin Yan found that the driver was squatting next to the wheel on the right, with a sad face. Half of the wheel of the car had been wrapped tightly with iron wire. The entire circle of iron wire was probably twenty meters long, entangled with extremely complex angles and directions.

Lin Yan saw that he didn't know what to say. Although this obviously delayed his trip, the coachman did not do it on purpose. Moreover, the wheels wrapped in iron wire were probably not used for a long time even if the wire was solved, and it would be a considerable loss for the coachman.

Lin Yan wanted to use his own force to force the wire to tear off the wire or use a sharp battle sword to cut the wire. However, when he saw that the symmetrical wooden strips on the wheels had been tightened by the wire, Lin Yan had no choice but to give up this idea.

Because pulling the wire or cutting the wire will cause damage to these wooden strips, it may directly affect the entire wheel, and even cause the wheels to fall apart. You must know that it is still three kilometers away from Wenkou Town.

As a last resort, Lin Yan had to take the most primitive method, just like the coachman, slowly cleaning the wire one by one.

At three o'clock, I had to endure the sunlight and squatted with my bare hands to clean the wire. Even Lin Yan felt a little uncomfortable.

As for the two horses pulling the carriage, since they are middle-aged and elderly horses, even if they stand without pulling the carriage at this moment, they are wasting time to bask in the sun. Both horses are sweating and even reveal a faint sense of manic aura.

But it seems that it takes less than half an hour to clean the wire, so I can't finish it.

The coachman did not want to delay Lin Yan's itinerary, and he also knew that even if the carriage was repaired, he would definitely not be able to drive to Wenkou Town before dark. He was a little dangerous when walking at night, so he naturally hoped that other carriages would pass on the road.

But unfortunately, it was probably because the weather was too hot today, and there were neither carriage nor horse riders passing by.

Lin Yan then wanted to walk by himself and rushed to Wenkou Town.

Just then, the sound of "dede" horse hooves came from behind, and the coachman was overjoyed. After all, he did not want the passengers carrying his car to endure exposure to the sun before they could reach their destination.

The people behind gradually approached, but because the dust raised was too heavy and the specific face could not be seen clearly, Lin Yan estimated that the team should have a carriage and two riders.

It’s easy to deal with a carriage. If there is another person sitting in the carriage, it won’t add any extra burden to the horse. If it’s all riding horses, Lin Yan would be embarrassed to ride together.

Just as Lin Yan was about to take the ride, suddenly there was a rumbling thunder coming from the sky!

It's a hot day, no wonder it's so stuffy!

The sunlight that was still white just now suddenly shrank and disappeared. The bright sky suddenly became dim. As a lightning flashed by, the heavy rain as big as soybeans began to fall down rapidly.

"Smack it."

The uneven places on the road were soon filled with turbid rain.

At this time, the rain also drained the dust. Lin Yan found that behind it was indeed a black carriage, and there were two men riding horses and dressed in the front of the carriage.

The carriage significantly slowed down when approaching Lin Yan because the coachman's carriage just occupied the road, and the black carriage had to walk carefully if he wanted to pass.

"What a fucking bad luck. It's raining heavily at this time." A big man cursed and walked past Lin Yan.

Another big man looked at the carriage that was parked on the road and laughed a little.

The black carriage began to slowly drive past the side.

At this time, Lin Yan said to the driver who was driving in the carriage: "Brother, can you still sit in the carriage? I want to go to Wenkou Town, but the master's carriage is broken. I want to take a ride, so I can help you."

The coachman angrily pointed at the two men dressed in the guards in front of him, indicating that he could not make any decision.

Lin Yan was about to talk to the two men dressed in a guard, but unexpectedly one of the men shouted impatiently: "We can't help with this. A scholar is sitting in the carriage. If you go up, it's dirty. Not to mention the carriage, the key is that it's a fear of scaring scholars. This is not far from Wenkou Town. It's raining again and the weather is quite cool. You'd better walk by yourself."

After saying that, the man no longer paid attention to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan had no choice but to retract his gaze and watch the black carriage drive over.

The coachman had been staring at the two men dressed in a guard before. When he heard that he was rejected, he said to Lin Yan apologetically: "I'm so embarrassed, this young man."

Lin Yan smiled, not caring about it, and was ready to go on the road. Anyway, the carriage was broken, so he could walk by himself. After all, he was not the kind of young master who was pampered and had nothing to do with this little hardship.

But at this time, with a few thunders, the heavy rain suddenly became heavier and became more dense.

The coachman didn't know that Lin Yan was a warrior, so he couldn't bear to see Lin Yan rushing in the rain, so he kindly reminded: "Young master, let's go in the carriage first to hide for a shower. This summer rain comes and goes quickly. It won't take long to stop the rain. It's not too late for the young master to continue on his way.

Without showing off, Lin Yan walked to the carriage, lifted the curtain and got in.

The coachman temporarily gave up on cleaning the wire wrapped around the wheels of the car and sat in his usual exclusive position outside the car.

Lin Yan shook the raindrops on his face, and after entering the carriage, he was about to sit down and rest, but his eyes glanced at a person who had arisen out of thin air in the carriage!

A man in white with fair skin and delicate face.

The man tied a bun back with a folding fan in his hand, and a gentle smell was emitted from his whole body.

A young scholar looks like a

Lin Yan couldn't help but think of the two men dressed in the guards before that they said that there was a scholar sitting in their carriage. Judging from the outfit and temperament of this man in white, he should be that scholar.

However, Lin Yan also met scholars, like Xia Anzhi in the Xia Mansion, who was a serious scholar, but the person in front of him had bright eyes and white teeth, white skin. If he was not dressed as a man and revealed his scholarly aura, he would have thought that this was a woman.

However, thinking that scholars have been much weaker than warriors since ancient times, Lin Yan was only briefly surprised and no longer paid attention to the gender issue of the young scholar.
