Chapter 258: Chapter 257: Sneaking into the Imperial City
The first ti he entered the city, Chu Linfeng encountered such a situation, leaving him speechless. He himself didn’t understand what went wrong; after disguising himself, he was still being hunted. Could it be that the Assassin’s Guild leaked his identity? It seed unlikely.
After exiting the city, Chu Linfeng imdiately used the Shift Form and Shadow technique to escape swiftly into the distance. He could easily eliminate all these ordinary guards without any effort.
But doing so would inevitably alert even stronger masters, and he would really be in trouble then.
Having broken through to the Eighth Level of Earth Martial Realm, Chu Linfeng’s speed was now significantly faster than before, able to instantly move a distance of twenty ters, quickly leaving the guards chasing him far behind.
He then stopped in a quiet, deserted place, took off the disguise from his face, and pulled out a white long robe from his Storage Ring, putting it on to appear elegant and dignified.
"No one should recognize
now. The na Niu Tian should be unusable; I need to create a new na," Chu Linfeng muttered to himself as he returned to the main road.
The road was bustling with people, and everyone sneaked a few glances at Chu Linfeng, such an handso young man, which made him uncomfortable.
He encountered so soldiers pursuing him earlier, but now they seed not to notice him much, easing his nerves.
Soon, Chu Linfeng arrived at the gate of the Imperial City again; so soldiers who had chased him had returned. Chu Linfeng slowly approached the guards who were checking entry passes and stopped in front of them.
One of the guards still scrutinized Chu Linfeng carefully before asking the sa question, to which Chu Linfeng directly took out a top-grade Star Stone from his Storage Ring and said, "Zhao Long, from Phoenix City, eighteen this year."
Seeing Chu Linfeng’s attire and the top-grade Star Stone in his hand, the guard imdiately understood that this guy was a wealthy young master, and said, "Entering the city requires ten Star Stones, use the low-grade Star Stones, if you use top-grade Star Stones we don’t give change."
"Don’t bother with the change, take the extra to drink, old brother. I’ll be staying in the Imperial City for a few days, if you have so free ti, don’t hesitate to co find . I’m staying at the best restaurant in the Imperial City, rember my na when you co looking," Chu Linfeng said with a smile.
The guard didn’t expect the young master in front of him to be so generous, giving away a top-grade Star Stone imdiately, and excitedly said, "Yes, I’ll definitely grab a few drinks with Brother when there’s ti, Brother, enter the city!"
Chu Linfeng nodded and directly entered the city, making other guards envious. This kid just gave away ninety Star Stones, that’s a few months’ wages!
After entering the Imperial City, Chu Linfeng found the street to be several hundred ters wide, scattered with so vendors selling their goods; though the street was wide and crowded, it still seed spacious.
Soon, Chu Linfeng saw Wei Qun’s figure, the kid was picking out sothing at a vendor’s stall, Chu Linfeng walked up behind him and tapped his shoulder, saying, "Let’s find a place for a drink, this first ti in the Imperial City deserves a treat."
Wei Qun was startled by the tap on his shoulder, turned to see a very familiar face, then laughed after hearing Chu Linfeng’s voice, "Brother Tian, I knew you’d have a way!"
Chu Linfeng smiled, looking at Wei Qun, "This isn’t the place to talk, let’s walk and talk."
"Brother Tian, how co you got mistaken for a wanted criminal?" Wei Qun asked puzzled as they walked.
"This is a long story, old man was being chased and you kid seed unconcerned, it’s amusing!" Chu Linfeng laughed.
"Brother Tian, you’ve misunderstood , I was very worried when you were chased, but my worry was useless, if I followed I’d just be seen as your accomplice and definitely get captured.
Then you would have to co save
too, I know Brother Tian’s skills, those soldiers couldn’t possibly catch you, so I waited in the street for you to co find ," Wei Qun said seriously.
"Didn’t expect you to have such foresight. Did you gather information on the Imperial City Guard?" Chu Linfeng asked.
"Not yet, this Imperial City is huge, if walking from here to the Imperial Palace would take half a day, the recruitnt for the Imperial City Guard should be outside the palace at the training grounds, but there’s not much information available here," Wei Qun said.
"Then let’s go directly to the training grounds, we’ll find out then," Chu Linfeng said.
"No need to go, the Imperial City is full of mixed characters, gathering information is simple, just go to so casual teahouses or restaurants, co on, I know a place where information flows smoothly."
The two walked slowly on the street, with complex, varied buildings on both sides, showing a truly prosperous scene.
Soon, the two stopped at a place called Liuxiang Restaurant, "Brother Tian, this is where the Imperial City’s intelligence flows most smoothly, consumption here is not high, a al costs about five Star Stones, many people like to eat here, they also enjoy listening to rumors."
"Alright, let’s check this place out, hope to get so useful information," then the two walked in directly.
Upon entering, Chu Linfeng saw it was indeed bustling with activity, with hundreds of tables nearly all occupied, it took a while to find an empty table, making Chu Linfeng witness such a scene for the first ti.
The waitstaff were at least ten in number, aning business was really booming.
After sitting down, a waiter soon approached, "What would you like to eat, our restaurant’s dishes are famous around here, such as Kung Pao Chicken, Couple’s Sliced Beef..."
Before the waiter finished speaking, Chu Linfeng interrupted, "Bring so of your signature dishes, and a pot of wine."
"Please wait a mont, they’ll be served soon!" then quickly left.
"This waiter doesn’t seem weak in strength," Chu Linfeng comnted.
"Certainly, the waitstaff here can perform martial skills, if they’re not Seventh Layer Earth Martial Realm, they’re not qualified. This place is full of mixed characters, often there’s conflict, and the waitstaff here are basically the restaurant’s enforcers," Wei Qun whispered.
At this ti, a middle-aged man at the next table said, "Today while passing the city gate, I heard that Chu Linfeng, who killed the Third Prince Hai Long, entered the city and was imdiately spotted by guards chasing after him, wonder if they caught him yet."
"Those watchdogs couldn’t possibly catch him, it’s a joke. But Chu Linfeng really is bold, daring to co to the Imperial City."
"What’s there to fear? Honestly, I admire the guy’s guts, if there’s a chance I’d like to et him."
"Drink, drink! It’s better not to talk too much, if these words reach certain ears, you know the consequences."
Chu Linfeng and Wei Qun exchanged a smile, Chu Linfeng has unexpectedly beco quite a figure.
Discussion in the restaurant was continuous, soon the waiter brought the food, and then a youth around seventeen or eighteen approached Chu Linfeng and said, "Wonder if my brother would allow
to join your table, this restaurant is too busy, there’s no place to sit."
Chu Linfeng looked up at the youth and was imdiately shocked, this was obviously a girl dressed as a boy...
