661: Chapter 621 Dubhe City_1 661: Chapter 621 Dubhe City_1 The girl in the corner had piqued Lu Chuan’s curiosity.
“You’re afraid we’re bad people?
Don’t overthink it, except for this one who looks a bit like a bad guy, the rest of us are good people,”
Lu Chuan said with a smile, pointing at Zhan Tianyu.
Zhan Tianyu imdiately retorted, “How do I look like a bad guy with such a straight face?”
The girl turned to scan the crowd, her dirty face youthful and naive.
It was clear she was a child from a poor family.
Lu Chuan continued to ask, “Are you from Dubhe City?”
The girl shook her head lightly, “I don’t know where I am going?”
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell into thought.
Gu Xiaosang hurriedly asked, “How can you not know where you are going?
This coach is bound for Dubhe City.”
“Dubhe City?
Where is that?
I grew up in Blackwater Village.”
Her youthful face was filled with bewildernt as if she knew nothing of the outside world.
Seeing this, Lu Chuan seed to realize sothing.
He quickly shouted to the coachman, “What is going on here?
Tell the truth!”
“Sir, you need not bother with this, when we get there, I won’t ask for ten taels of gold, three taels of fine silver will be enough for .”
“Are you going to talk or not?
If you don’t, don’t expect to get your money, and you’ll have to give up your life as well!”
On hearing this, the coachman panicked; he thought he had found a cash cow, but instead, it turned out to be a life-threatening situation!
“The Zhu family of Dubhe City, you must have heard of them, right?”
Lu Chuan knew nothing of the Zhu family and could only look to Zhan Tianyu.
Zhan Tianyu explained quickly, “The Zhu family is the wealthiest in Dubhe City, so rich they could rival nations.
Their fortune could buy everything in Dubhe City, except for the non-salable items.”
The coachman then hastened to add, “This gentleman here is so knowledgeable.
That’s right, the girl was bought by Elder Master Zhu to be a concubine.
We gave her father five taels of fine silver, and he even knelt down to thank us.”
Zhan Tianyu looked at Lu Chuan with a relaxed face, “It’s nothing, don’t worry about it.”
Lu Chuan sighed helplessly; such things seed not to be uncommon here.
But seeing the girl’s pitiful state, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but feel so compassion.
After all, he wasn’t born and raised here and couldn’t accept so of the local notions.
Gu Xiaorou tugged at Lu Chuan’s sleeve, “Why don’t we help her out?”
Lu Chuan nodded slightly, then looked at the coachman and said, “I’ll give you a tael of gold to redeem her.”
The girl looked up sharply at Lu Chuan, her eyes showing a hint of surprise.
But the coachman seed very troubled, “Big brother, the people Zhu family takes a fancy to cannot be redeed.
No matter how much money you offer, it’s useless, they don’t lack money.”
“Do you understand?
If I redeem her to give her to you, and Elder Master Zhu blas , I won’t be able to bear it.”
He said with a sorrowful look, having originally used the shabbiest coach to transport her to avoid drawing attention.
Yet, unexpectedly, he had still been found out.
“I’ll just leave the money here, and I’m taking the person with .
If the Zhu family is unhappy, they can co to .”
“Ah?
Please don’t, the Zhu family almost covers the sky with one hand in Dubhe City, unless you don’t want to mix in Dubhe City anymore.
Otherwise, even if you hide in other cities, they will find you!”
Zhan Tianyu also panicked, and pleaded with Lu Chuan, “Young Master Lu, do you really want to make an enemy?
You’ve nearly offended all the major powers in Dubhe City!”
Zhan Tianyu was in a state of panic.
If Lu Chuan offended another Zhu family, then their Zhan family would completely dare not accommodate him any longer.
“I never said I wanted to offend the Zhu family.
I told them to co find .
Anything can be discussed.
But if they don’t want to discuss things properly, then, naturally, there’s no way but to offend them.”
Lu Chuan shrugged indifferently, not taking the matter too seriously.
“There’s no need to make a fuss over an unfamiliar little girl.
Let it be.”
Zhan Tianyu sighed with so helplessness, “You understand too little about Dubhe City.
Offending a few renowned martial arts families is one thing, but the Zhu family engages in comrce here in Dubhe City.
You’ve now offended the two most powerful forces in the city, which ans you’ll have completely no foothold here.”
Lu Chuan leaned back in his chair, composed and serene, “The reason I’m going there is to clear so obstacles.
Whether it’s the Lu family, the Lin family, or the Sky Martial Sect, I won’t let any of them off.”
“As for the Zhu family, I won’t take them to heart either.
If you’re scared, once we reach Dubhe City, we can go our separate ways.”
Zhan Tianyu suddenly beca serious, “How could I possibly be scared?
Lu Chuan, I trust you.”
“Since that’s the case, when we arrive at Dubhe City, I’ll bring this girl to our Zhan family for accommodation.”
“If the Zhu family dares to co looking, I’ll confront them to the end!”
Seeing him take such a stance, Lu Chuan gave a faint smile.
“No problem.”
The coachman, overhearing the conversation between the two, was terrified to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat.
It seed like his modest carriage was carrying so incredibly significant individuals.
By evening, the horse carriage finally passed through the gates of Dubhe City and entered the city.
The scale of Dubhe City was indeed not small, divided into four separate areas, each larger than Flower City.
After stopping in an open space just inside the city gate, Lu Chuan and the others got out of the carriage one by one.
The coachman quickly approached Zhan Tianyu, “Ten gold taels, not one less.”
“Didn’t you say three taels of fine silver was enough?”
“Sir, you’ve taken away my passenger.
If I don’t make up for it sohow, can I still keep my head?
You truly do not understand my predicant.”
“I wouldn’t dare to keep a single tael of this gold in my hand!”
Zhan Tianyu, not wanting to waste ti arguing, imdiately pulled out the gold and handed it to him.
Upon seeing the glittering gold, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, a group of about a dozen people walked through the streets, heading their way.
The imposing procession of these individuals caused the surrounding passersby to clear a path, lest they offend them.
Leading them was a young master in blue silk finery, looking carelessly delighted as he surveyed his surroundings.
“Young Master is here to collect soone today.
Li Er, did you bring the person back?”
At these words, the coachman froze on the spot, not knowing what to do, completely at a loss.
“Young Master Zhu, you…
why did you co personally?”
“I ca to see how well you’ve managed the task.”
“Where is she?
Did you bring back that little beauty?
Hurry up and send her to my residence!”
Li Er stamred nervously, “The person…
has been brought back, but, along the way, we also picked up them.”
After saying this, he turned his gaze toward Zhan Tianyu and Lu Chuan.
Young Master Zhu’s eyes turned to Zhan Tianyu, and he burst out laughing, “Ah, isn’t this the martial master from the Zhan family?
I’ve long admired your na, and here I et you!
How fortunate for !”
