Chapter 177 Holy City
One day later, the carriage with three people finally arrived at the gate of the Holy City.
I have to admit that the roads in this world are surprisingly well built.
Although the Holy Dragon Kingdom is only a medieval technological country, its roads are surprisingly smooth and spacious enough for four carriages to drive side by side without any feeling of crowding.
"Distinguished guests, the Holy City has arrived." The coachman's voice came, lifting the curtains and letting the sun shine into the carriage.
"Ah? Are you here already?" Lin Yi dazedly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and slowly woke up from Rose's warm and soft thighs.
Although the seats in the carriage have been padded with cotton cloth, it is still difficult to relieve the discomfort of passengers riding in the carriage for a long time.
In his sleep, Lin Yi unconsciously found a softer and more comfortable "pillow" - Rose's thigh, and leaned there and fell asleep peacefully.
"It's finally here, my butt is almost numb from the tossing of this carriage." Crazy Milk complained, while rubbing her sore buttocks, she couldn't wait to jump off the carriage and stretch her muscles.
Rose and Lin Yi also yawned and stepped out of the carriage one after another.
After paying the fare, the three of them walked towards the gate of the Holy City.
But when the three of them had just reached the city gate, several spears of the soldiers suddenly pointed at them, and the atmosphere at the scene instantly became tense.
"Stop! Where are you from? What are you doing here?"
A man who looked like a squad leader lazily stepped forward to question him.
He held a toothpick in his mouth and walked unsteadily. He looked more like a street gangster than a soldier, without any dignity of a soldier.
Crazy Milk's hands trembled slightly, and there was a dangerous light in her eyes.
Lin Yi was keenly aware of this, and quickly pressed Mad Nai's hand, signaling him to stay calm with his eyes.
Lin Yi smiled and took out a money bag from his pocket, which contained some scattered coins.
Although the amount is not much, it is equivalent to half a month's salary for ordinary people.
He handed the money to the team leader at the city gate and said respectfully: "Master, we are here to deliver a letter. This small amount of money is considered as tea money for the master. Please do it for your convenience."
The team leader took the money bag and weighed it in his hands, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Well, not bad, you are quite sensible." He nodded, expressing satisfaction.
In the Holy Dragon Kingdom, most of the lower-level officials have this kind of virtue. As long as they have money, everything is easy to talk about and doing things will naturally be convenient.
"These two days of royal weddings are under tight security in the Holy City. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter without justifiable reasons. Please go back and wait for two days."
Although he accepted the money, the team leader had no intention of letting Lin Yi and his party pass.
Lin Yi coughed twice and said in a low voice: "Sir, this matter is quite confidential. Can you please take a moment to speak?" As he spoke, he slightly revealed an object from his pocket.
When the team leader caught a glimpse of the object, he suddenly became excited.
"Okay, okay! Of course, come on, come over here, please."
In a remote corner, the squad leader led Lin Yi and others over with a flattering look on his face. The seal of the Felin family was revealed in Lin Yi's pocket just now, so the team leader's attitude changed so much.
The team leader was able to work in this sensitive position at the gate of the city. Among other things, he still had good eyesight and had an idea of who could be provoked and who should not be provoked.
"Stop talking nonsense and open the city gate quickly." Lin Yi's attitude made a 180-degree turn, and the expression on his face became arrogant, "If it is not the matter that the young master told us that needs to be kept secret, we can't go too far. Zhang Yang, just based on your behavior today, our Feilin family is fully capable of putting you in jail, do you believe it?"
At this moment, Lin Yi was completely different from the submissive image he had before, and he was acting very strong.
Seeing Lin Yi's arrogant and domineering appearance, the captain's inner doubts dissipated a bit.
This is the attitude that members of the Film family should have. Lin Yi's current behavior can be considered relatively mild among the Film family.
Other members of the Felin family are often more domineering. As long as they don't like anyone, they will be thrown into prison directly.
"Please forgive me, sir. It's all my fault that I was short-sighted and failed to recognize you in time, thus delaying your important event." The squad leader said while slapping himself hard several times. The slap sound was loud and crisp, obviously. It took real effort.
"That's enough, that's enough, stop fighting." Lin Yi waved his hand and said impatiently, "Hurry up and open the door. If you delay the young master's business, not to mention that your position is not guaranteed, even I will suffer."
"Thank you, sir!" The team leader hurriedly put two red gems into Lin Yi's hands, with a pained but flattering look on his face, "This is a small thing, just treat it as a meeting gift for the adults."
Lin Yi weighed the gem in his hand and nodded with satisfaction, "Well, not bad, it's quite impressive. Let's do this. I will put in a good word for you in front of the young master after I go back. As for the result, it depends on you. Good luck."
"Oh, thank you so much, sir!" The captain was so excited that he almost jumped up. He knew very well what it meant to him to be able to connect with the Felin family.
Living well and enjoying life for the rest of your life is no longer an unattainable dream.
Although Lin Yi only said that he would "try it", the team leader already felt extremely satisfied and looking forward to it.
For a low-level official like him, it is a great blessing to have the opportunity to contact powerful people like the Felin family.
After returning to the city gate, the team leader hurriedly ordered his men to open the city gate and personally escorted Lin Yi and the others into the city.
The holy city of the Holy Dragon Kingdom is like a pearl on the earth, its magnificence and luxury are breathtaking.
The towering city wall is carefully stacked with huge stones. After being baptized by wind and rain, it looks even more vicissitudes and heavy.
The golden city emblem shines in the sun, highlighting the nobility and glory of the city.
As soon as you step into the city, you will see wide streets and splendid buildings.
These buildings use the best building materials and exquisite craftsmanship, and each part reveals ingenious design and exquisite decoration, showing the prosperity and luxury of the city.
The shops on both sides of the street are filled with a dazzling array of products.
Precious silks, dazzling jewelry, alluring spices... these rare treasures from all over the world have attracted businessmen and tourists from all over to stop to watch and choose.
In this rich and prosperous city, people seem to be able to find all the luxury and enjoyment they want.
However, behind this bustling city, corruption quietly grows like a shadow.
