Chapter 137 Theft

It’s almost two days’ journey from Soto City to Calabash Village.

This is still a case of taking a small road. If you take a big road, it will be even slower. Fortunately, the driver Wang Xiaofeng hired has done business with the caravan before and is familiar with many shortcuts in the Balak Kingdom, otherwise he would not be able to take the small road.

The space of the carriage is very small, and there is no so-called seat. Instead, you sit on a frame suspended by a belt from a springless plate. It is shaky and uncomfortable at all.

In order to sit more comfortably, Wang Xiaofeng used the first soul skill to attach to his butt. In order to maintain sufficient soul power, the effect of the soul skill was only controlled to about 20%.

"Car driver, how long does it take to arrive?"

"You can reach Yufeng Town by crossing the mountain in front of you." The driver's voice came from outside the car.

Jade Feng Town is a large town with tens of thousands of households. With its specialty jade honey, there is an endless stream of merchants coming to buy it. It has developed quite well in recent years.

"Young Master, we have arrived at the gate of Jade Feng Town. The guard said he wanted to get out of the car for inspection."

"I'll come down now."

Wang Xiaofeng opened the car door, and the warm sunshine shone on him. After getting out of the car, he subconsciously opened his arms and stretched his body vigorously, and a crackling sound came from his body.

Several guards came over, boarded the carriage and began to inspect it carefully.

Seeing the guards carefully searching the carriage, Wang Xiaofeng asked curiously: "Hey, brother, has something big happened recently?"

The guard standing aside saw that Wang Xiaofeng had money to ride in a carriage, and he must be a noble. In order not to cause trouble, he explained: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that a few blind thieves stole things they shouldn't have stolen. The whole town is now under martial law, and we conduct routine inspections."

At this time, the soldiers who got on the car to check had already stepped out. One of the soldiers said: "Captain, there is no problem."

"Okay, let go."

The guards moved the barricades away to make way for the passage.

By this time the sun had set over the mountains and night had begun to fall.

Yufeng Town is the midpoint of this trip, so Wang Xiaofeng has to stay here for one night before continuing his journey tomorrow.

Jade Feng Town was much smaller than Soto City. The carriage, pulled by horses, quickly arrived at the destination of their trip, the Jade Feng Hotel.

Yufeng Hotel is the largest hotel in Yufeng Town, with a total of five floors. Although it is not as good as Soto City Hotel, it is still a good place to stay. If it's the season when jade honey is abundant, you won't even be able to book a dining table here.

When the coachman saw him getting off the carriage, he whipped his whip and led the carriage away. It was not his responsibility where the coachman lived. Anyway, the coachman would take the initiative to wait for him at the door tomorrow morning. As soon as we walked into the Jade Bee Hotel, a waiter came up and asked, "Master, are you going to eat or stay?"

Wang Xiaofeng handed the waiter a gold soul coin and two copper soul coins: "Book me a room on the top floor. I'll go eat first."

"No problem, there happens to be a vacant room on the top floor." The waiter took the soul coin with a smile.

Wang Xiaofeng walked to the restaurant and sat down. As soon as he finished ordering, he heard people at the table next to him talking about the theft. So Wang Xiaofeng calmly poured a cup of tea and drank it slowly, but his ears secretly perked up.

The people at the table next to them were all strong men. Wang Xiaofeng secretly looked at them with his peripheral vision. They were all uniformly dressed and seemed to be some kind of family guard.

One of the strong men took a sip from the wine bottle and said disdainfully: "Don't believe it, I was standing guard outside the yard at that time, and that figure was obviously the second lady."

"Brother, you drank too much."

"I didn't drink too much." The strong man's eyes were blurred and he breathed out the alcohol: "Look, it's clear that the second lady stole something from the house, but it was too valuable. In order to cover up others' eyes and ears, the Wang family made something that didn't exist at all. Thieves attract attention."

As soon as he finished speaking, the strong man's head hit the table hard, which shocked everyone else. They thought they knew too much and were being silenced. However, a brave man went to check for breath. Found out that he was so drunk that he fell asleep.

"Catch a thief? People in this town know how to play." Wang Xiaofeng looked at the dishes that were put on the table one after another, and began to eat happily. This is a dish made with jade honey, which is usually only provided to soul masters, and jade honey It’s difficult to preserve, and you can’t eat such unique dishes (very sweet) anywhere else.

As for the theft case, just treat it as gossip.

After eating, Wang Xiaofeng walked to the front desk to pay.

Wang Xiaofeng took the key and asked doubtfully: "Where is my room?"

It was the peak time for dinner now, and the waiters were very busy. The waiter who had previously served Wang Xiaofeng said something and continued to receive other guests.

"On the top floor, the house number is Moonlight. Turn left to the second room. Oh, I found it." Wang Xiaofeng followed the waiter's instructions and found his room.

A standard double bed room, with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom, is quite large, about 40 square meters.

Wang Xiaofeng opened the window. Today happened to be the night of the full moon, and his soul power was much more active under the moonlight.

"I wanted to rest at first, but it seems I'd better forget about practicing." Wang Xiaofeng moved the bed next to the window, drank a drop of moon slurry, sat cross-legged on the bed, summoned the martial spirit and started practicing.
