Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch 13's. The ChanQing City
A few hours later, Zhang Xian En finally found a city that was quite large.This was only the first time he had seen a city of this size and seen many people passing in and out of the city.
Arriving at the city gate, he was Arrested by the city guard officer "Sorry Master, For everyone who enters into the city must pay regular entrance first" the guard said.
"The fee to enter the master only needs to pay 10 pieces of silver."
Without waiting for a long time, Zhang Xian En immediately took out 10 pieces of silver and went straight inside to immediately find a place to rest for a while and filled his hungry stomach.
While walking slowly to find a place to eat, Zhang Xian En did not forget to just walk around for a while to enjoy the beauty of the city.
From a distance, he happened to see a place to eat that looks crowded.
"Sorry sir, what message would you like?" asked a woman as she approached the young man who was at the entrance.
"Give me enough 1 serving of rice and meat for me" he replied briefly.
"Okay Sir. please come with me" While delivering the young man to the top floor of the room because the 1st floor is full. happens to be this dining place there are 2 floors.
Zhang Xian En followed him without a sound. When he arrived at the 2nd floor the woman immediately asked "Master, Here the price of eating is a little expensive from the lower floor" while glancing at the appearance of the Youth. he saw that Zhang Xian En looked ordinary and thought little of the young man being unable to pay.
As if understanding with the gaze from the woman, Zhang Xian En instantly took out 1 gold coin and gave it to the woman "Is this enough? then just to provide the most delicious food at home to eat this" while heading towards the table near the window.
Looking at the coin he received the woman immediately ran over to immediately prepare food for the young man without asking any more and hurried backwards. Whynot? 1 Gold coin is comparable to his income for 3 months as an employee at the restaurant. Taking out that much money so easily one would definitely think they were quite wealthy people or noble families.
In fact, the currency used by the ming empire was silver, bronze and gold coins. 1000 silver coins were equivalent to 100 bronze coins while 1000 Bronze coins were equivalent to 1 gold coin.
Zhang Xian En sat facing the window waiting for food and saw the beauty of the city from the floor, not forgetting that he was just hearing people talking to find information.
"Master.this is the food ordered by sir.." while putting it on the table.
When the woman was about to leave the table, Zhang Xian En immediately called out to her and asked "If I may know, what city is this?" with smile.
Seeing the smile of Zhang Xian En.. The woman was a little nervous. Naturally, Zhang Xian En was indeed a handsome young man and could make the woman who saw him definitely put on a feeling.
Hearing the young man's question, he momentarily thought that the young man who asked him must have just come first to enter this city.without much asking the woman directly replied "This city is ChanQing city. it seems like the newcomer master "Task the woman.
Zhang XianEn simply nodded her head. "if you may know, where are you going?" Follow that woman again.
"I happen to be heading to the Imperial capital"
"Then, your journey is very close to get there.After leaving this city and walking down the road south of the city, you will soon reach the capital"
"Thank you for the explanation"
"Same with young master. Please enjoy the meal." while leaving Zhang Xian En
Zhang Xian En instantly ate the dishes on the table voraciously. He spent a few servings of good meat along with roasted chicken.
After filling his hungry stomach, Zhang Xian En did not forget to look for the inn and clean himself first while recovering his Strength.
•••
After wandering around for a little while, Zhang XianEn was intending to find an inn to rest.he passed through several small alleys.
Actually after leaving the inn, Zhang Xian En was followed by some people who intended to rob him. these people had noticed him since the restaurant when Zhang Xian En took out 1 gold coin to the housekeeper.
"Finally we got a good catch" said one of the men.
"Yes.. It seemed like he was from a noble family who was disguised to look like a commoner" another man let out a voice.
This man turned out to be 5 people and they were waiting for Zhang Xian En's arrival and immediately to rob him.
Casually, Zhang XianEn was still walking through the alley which happened to be quiet and no one passed through it..Sure enough, he was suddenly blocked by the 5 people who had been waiting and following him.
Seeing that, Zhang XianEn just kept quiet and did not take out 1 word. He only looked at the 5 people with flat faces.
"Young people. Looks like today you got a bad luck. hahahaa."
"Now hand over all the treasure you've brought and all the money you've hidden" one of the burly men came over and pulled out his gun right around Zhang Xian En's neck.
The young man was not even afraid. Zhang Xian En even put on a smiley face to the burly man.Seeing the smile of the young man before them one of the men raised a voice "Quick surrender, quickly surrender, otherwise never regret that the smile on your face will soon end after we kill you" his voice raised with threat.
"Mr all. I don't have any valuables I've brought" Zhang Xian En as he raised his hand.
"Not many reasons. Quickly hand over the money you're hiding. Don't be a fool for we saw you take out a gold coin. You must have the gold coins you brought " said the man.
Zhang Xian En smiled. It turned out that he had only realized that he had been noticed before.
"If I don't want to?? Did you kill me?" zhang Xian En.
"Neck.. I kill you" the burly man swung his gun.
Zhang XianEn who got the burly man's attack easily and dodged it.
"BUKK"
1 a crushing blow landed on the burly man's face and instantly collapsed unconscious.
Seeing their friend being beaten with just 1 punch, the other 4 people immediately charged towards Zhang Xian En.
Zhang Xian En received all of their attacks and once jumped back to dodge.
Feeling playful, they continued to attack Zhang Xian En but none of their attacks managed to hit and touch the young man.
"Just play it. I'll be serious now"
since then, Zhang XianEn had not shown any true ability.
These 5 people of their cultivation stage were only at the intermediate level. Their abilities are far away from him.
With the Qi flowing in both of his palms, Zhang XianEn directly attacked them at once.one by one they were thrown and instantly fainted on the spot after they got a punch from Zhang XianEn.
Looking at the 5 people lying on the ground bleeding their mouths, Zhang Xian En finally continued his goal of temporarily finding lodging to rest and restore his Strength.
