Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 848 Thank you, Miss, for your help.
It was getting late and the lights were on.

The huge city in front was brightly lit and full of people, making it very lively.

Lu Hao continued to use pills today. Now that the potency has worn off, he feels weak and his body looks very tired.

Therefore, he decided to go down first and find a place to take a good rest. The bustling city ahead was a good place to visit.

"What? Haojing City? Have I arrived at the capital of the Zhou Dynasty?"

Lu Hao suddenly froze when he saw the big characters on the city gate.

"Who are you? What are you doing in the city?"

A soldier from the city guard blocked his way.

"I'm here for business."

Lu Hao smiled awkwardly.

"Are you in business? What business?"

The soldier guarding the city asked coldly.

He looked Lu Hao up and down and found that this noble young master looked quite noble, but he was in rags and rags, like a beggar. How could such a person come to do business?
Lu Hao naturally understood the soldier's concerns and explained awkwardly: "Father business, but I encountered a group of robbers and I managed to escape, so my clothes are disheveled."

"What fur business? I think you look like a spy from an enemy country! What's in the package in your hand?"

The soldiers guarding the city shouted coldly.

Nani?spy?
Lu Hao was immediately dumbfounded!
Originally, he was worried that the golden holy sword would cause unnecessary trouble, so he found a rag to wrap it up and held it in his hand.

In fact, it can be seen from the appearance that there is a knife in the package. It is obvious that the leader of the city guard is interested in what he has in his hand.

"There is a knife in the package. You know, when you go out to travel around the world, you naturally need a sword to defend yourself."

Lu Hao explained patiently with a grimace.

He regrets a little now, why he didn't just fall in the city. Now that it's fine, he still has to explain to the soldiers guarding the city.

If he had had his past temper, he would have killed these guys with one blow.

However, the situation is different now. He just wants to keep a low profile and find an inn to rest, and does not want to make things big.

"If you want to enter the city, you can pay the city tax of five taels of silver."

The leader of the soldiers guarding the city rolled his eyes and said loudly.

He could tell at a glance that Lu Hao was definitely not a local, so he wanted to extort a sum of money from him. If the other party had no money, the knife in the package could be used to offset the bill.

"Five taels of silver? So expensive?"

Lu Hao was also shocked.

He had been to many cities, but he didn't expect that Haojing City would actually collect city taxes. His jaw was really shocked.

"If it's too expensive, don't go into the city."

The leader of the soldiers guarding the city smiled.

"Okay, five taels is five taels."

Lu Hao put his hand into his arms, only to find that he was empty.

It turned out that after he and Zheng Xinyue took a bath in the hot spring yesterday, he had another ridiculous night and changed into new clothes today.

Naturally, he didn't notice that he didn't have any money with him. Besides, he was the emperor, did he need to bring money with him?
It's embarrassing now!

"What's wrong? No money?"

The leader of the soldiers guarding the city sneered again and again.

"Then...that...didn't you meet a robber on the road just now? So...do you think you can...be accommodating?"

Lu Hao was a little embarrassed now and explained.

"What's the accommodation? Don't you have a knife? Can you use it to pay the entrance fee?"

The leader of the soldiers guarding the city had a shocked expression on his face.

"I really can't give you this knife!"

Lu Hao said with a grimace.

"Can't give it? Why can't you give it? Is it very precious?"

The leader of the soldiers guarding the city stretched out his hand and was about to snatch the knife from Lu Hao's hand.

Unfortunately, the knife in Lu Hao's hand did not move at all. The expression of the leader of the city guards changed slightly, and he pulled hard, but there was still no movement.

Lu Hao's face was extremely gloomy, wondering whether he should kill someone?Or maybe the general knew that he was good at martial arts and allowed him to enter the city?

The few soldiers following him saw something was wrong and immediately surrounded him, surrounding Lu Hao in the middle.

At this moment, a super luxurious carriage slowly approached, along with more than a dozen guards, who obviously also wanted to enter the city. "What are you doing? It doesn't seem right to besiege a person like this, right?"

In the carriage, a beautiful voice came out.

"Who is this person? How dare you meddle in my general's business? Don't you want to live anymore?"

Liu Shenjiang turned to look at the carriage and asked in a cold voice.

"General, she seems to be the daughter of the president of the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce."

A soldier came closer and whispered a report.

What?Star-Moon Chamber of Commerce?

The Xingyue Chamber of Commerce, one of the three major chambers of commerce in the Western Region?
Liu Shenjiang looked at the Xingyue flag on the carriage, and his expression changed slightly.

"This is Su Yifei from the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce!"

The voice in the carriage was as cold as frost.

"It turns out to be Miss Su from the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce. I'm disrespectful! This young man said he didn't have money to pay the city fee. I just want to teach him a lesson!"

Liu Shen will quickly accompany Smiley.

"How much? I paid it for him."

Su Yifei said loudly.

"Hehehehe... Miss Su was joking, just for your sake. If I let him go, I won't charge any entry fee!"

General Liu Shen is also very knowledgeable.

With a wave of his hand, several soldiers immediately withdrew and got out of the way, obviously preparing to let Lu Hao enter the city.

"In that case, thank you very much General Liu Shen!"

Miss Su's voice was still cold.

How can Haojing City collect any city entry tax?
It was obviously the result of a few soldiers seeing that Lu Hao was not a local.

However, the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty repeatedly banned this kind of thing.

One thing in front of one's face, one thing behind one's back!
In fact, Su Yifei had long been dissatisfied with these bullying soldiers defending the city.

When she returned to the city today, she found that another person was being exploited by the soldiers guarding the city, and they also wanted to take away their belongings. She couldn't bear it.

"Thank you, Miss Su, for your help!"

Lu Hao moved toward the carriage and clasped his fists in thanks.

"Sir, please come with us into the city."

The sounds in the carriage softened a bit.

"Ok!"

Lu Hao did not reject Miss Su's kindness.

The luxurious carriage drove slowly into Haojing City, with Lu Hao following closely behind, looking east and west, as if he had entered the Grand View Garden.

Su Yifei glanced at Lu Hao through the curtains, took out a few coins and handed them to the maid Cui'er, and said, "Give this money to that young master."

"Miss, you have already brought him into the city, why do you still give him money?" Cuier asked confused.

"Look at his ragged clothes. He must have met a robber. He must have no money on him. Just think of it as doing something good."

Su Yifei smiled slightly.

"Miss, you are so kind. No wonder I don't want you to do the business. How can you do business like this?"

Cui Er muttered.

"You know how to talk too much, so go ahead."

Su Yifei said loudly.

"Yes, ma'am."

Cui'er had no choice but to agree.

She opened the curtain of the carriage, waved to Lu Hao behind, and shouted loudly: "Hey, that young man, come here."

Lu Hao came to his senses and ran up directly.

"This is the expense given to you by the lady."

Cui Er handed him the silver.
