Chapter 563: Prosperity
Jiang Tai was stunned for a moment, and then felt happy, thinking that things had turned around.
The five of them entered the capital city. It was the most prosperous place in the entire Northern Kingdom, with an endless stream of merchants coming and going. However, what Sulin saw was hidden under the cover of this prosperity.
What does it mean to say, "The wine and meat of the rich family stink, and the roads freeze to death?"
On the street, a carriage was driving rampantly. With its bright yellow accessories, one could tell at a glance that this was definitely a member of the royal family.
Just in front of Su Lin and others, the carriage came to a sudden stop, and as the horses screamed, a woman hugged her child and collapsed to the ground.
"What the hell, are you looking for death?"
The driver who was driving the carriage was wearing official uniform. When he saw this situation, he immediately jumped down and gave the woman two hard whips.
She subconsciously protected the child in her arms, and with two crackling sounds, two blood marks suddenly appeared on her back. The guard yelled: "Get out of here! Do you know who is sitting up there?"
"Why did you stop?" Along with an enchanting female voice, the carriage curtain was opened, and an extremely charming face appeared in front of everyone.
Passersby whispered, "Who is this? It's so grand."
"You don't know, this is His Highness the Crown Prince's woman, the number one in Feng Yue Tower in the city, Miss Yi Yue."
"Who was I then? Turns out I was just a bitch!"
"Don't talk nonsense, I will arrest you and behead you for questioning."
All these words were heard by Su Lin and others. Looking at what was happening in front of him, he shook his head. All the powerful people in the Northern Kingdom said this. No wonder there was internal chaos.
Jiang Tai has been following Su Lin and others. He has been silent since entering the city. At this moment, he doesn't know what he is thinking in his heart.
He actually jumped out and said, "Humph, this guy is so domineering and bullying!"
Su Lin said interestingly: "I didn't expect Elder Jiang to be such a righteous person, but haven't you heard? She is not an ordinary person, she is the woman of the current prince. Do you want to go against him?"
Perhaps in order to show off himself in front of Su Lin, Jiang Tai actually patted his chest to express that he was not afraid.
It's right to think about it. The three major forces in the North, Yunlan Sect, Shenwu Sect, and Guanfu, are almost equal and check and balance each other.
Therefore, even the emperor of the Northern Kingdom is very wary of them. Although he calls himself a minister, his status is almost equal.
If it weren't for these two major sects, which were only for cultivation, wouldn't it be easy to take over the Northern Kingdom?
"I said you are deaf, right? Get out of here!"
The guard became even more aggressive and kicked the woman on the back. This was not enough. He waved the riding crop in his hand and crackling sounds continued to be heard.
But in the next second, the man fell heavily to the ground, grinning in pain.
"Who is it? Dare to hit me?" The officer glared and saw an old man blocking the carriage. He looked full of fairy spirit and showed no anger or authority.
He covered his waist and got up from the ground without any fear, "Hey, we met some nosy people? Do you know who my master is?"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Tai didn't take him seriously at all and slapped him twice.
The clear voice shocked the passers-by who were present, and at the same time they became even more curious about the identity of this old man. He was not even afraid of the prince. He was either really capable or just a fool.
"You, you still dare to hit me?" The guard covered his face, looking like he couldn't believe it.
"When I report this to the master, I will cut you into pieces!"
Jiang Taike was not used to this kind of pretentious slave at all. He overturned it again and hit the carriage heavily, shocking the so-called top beauty.
"Hmph, you are so arrogant and unreasonable!"
"If you don't want to die, just take five hundred taels as compensation."
Hearing this, the guard immediately let out a sigh of relief. He was just a humble servant. How could he have five hundred taels of silver?
It could be seen that Jiang Tai's aura didn't look like he was joking, so he knelt down directly in front of the card.
"Master, please save me. I am on my way for you."
The woman's face suddenly became tense, and she wanted to kill this guy, but after thinking twice, she still took out a purse and said, "Why don't you pay her quickly?"
When the officer saw this, he immediately took it and breathed a sigh of relief.
Under Jiang Tai's pressure, he apologized to the woman and stuffed the purse containing the banknotes into her hand.
But she didn't dare to answer it, for fear of causing death, after all, it was His Highness the Crown Prince who was offended!
"Take it, huh, they don't dare to trouble you."
"Did you hear that?" Jiang Tai said coldly, making the guard nod his head in fright.
Of course, that was not what he thought in his heart. He wished he could tell his master right now and punish the old man severely.
"Why don't you get out of here?"
Jiang Tai drove away with the same words. After the carriage went away, applause and cheers suddenly broke out on the street.
Su Lin is like an outsider, always maintaining his identity as an audience. He is really curious, among the three elders of the Yunlan Sect, who is more powerful against the prince of the Northern Kingdom?
So there was a compliment on the spot, "Elder Jiang is really a hero!"
In the teahouse not far away, Su Lin told the truth and told Jiang Tai what happened in Lanzhou City at that time.
After hearing this, his face was full of shock. He pondered for a while and then slammed the table, "Humph, this Shang Rusong, it is really not a pity to die!"
Then, he apologized to Su Lin: "This is all due to our sect's lax discipline. I don't blame little brother Su. It can be regarded as cleaning up the family for us."
"However, this colorful lotus is very important to our Yunlan Sect, so please return it."
Unexpectedly, Su Lin spread his hands and said, "It's OK, but not now."
Hearing this, Jiang Tai was stunned and even felt that Su Lin was playing a trick on him, but reason told him that it would be no good to fight Su Lin.
So he could only listen, "Do you have any difficulties?"
"I'm short of weapons, so I'm temporarily borrowing your Yunlan Sect's seven-colored lotus. This reason is reasonable, right?" Su Lin said what was in his mind without hesitation, as if he had Jiang Tai in his hands.
As he expected, Jiang Tai was helpless.
"Brother Su, to tell you the truth, this seven-colored lotus is the protective artifact of our Yunlan Sect. If it is lost, the consequences will be disastrous."
"The Shenwu Sect has always been our enemy. If they learn of this news, they will surely cause bloody storms. Do you want to watch those creatures suffer an unprovoked disaster?"
At this moment, Jiang Tai actually played a moral kidnapping.
But how could this stump Su Lin? He had long understood the laws of this world, and he knew that this so-called justice was useless.
Controlling strength is the first factor. Otherwise, how can you protect yourself and the people around you?
"What if I refuse?"
Su Lin's tone was very firm.
This immediately made Jiang Tai take a breath. The third elder of a famous family was like a beginner in front of Su Lin.
