The Transmigration Routine of Always Being Captured By the ML

Chapter 4: The Wild Dragon Proud Days 1.4

When Li Luo and Qin Yu left Jiangnan, it was still a place with long grass, various flying birds, red flowers and green willows. But along the journey, the closer they got to the north, the colder the weather turned.

By the time they reached the largest city in North—Xirong city, it was snowing.

Qin Yu’s maternal grandfather, Nangong Ao’s mansion was located here.

Li Luo pulled the reins tightly and clamped his horse’s belly, so it stopped its pace.

In front of the city gates, Li Luo looked at two rows of soldiers standing on each side. From among the soldiers came out someone,with laboured breath, and Li Luo stepped down from his horse.

Qin Yu followed suit and pulled his horse’s reins as he walked beside him.

After saying a few words to the city guards, the two entered the Xirong city smoothly.

The sky had darkened, so there were very little pedestrians walking outside, a lot less than usually. Li Luo grabbed a middle-aged man who was hurring past him. “Uncle, do you know in what direction general Nangong’s mansion is?”

The middle-aged man withdrew his shoulders and raised his head to look at Li Luo’s thin face, his mustache moved slightly.

His eyes widened as he looked at Li Luo and Qin Yu’s bodies and then at the shiny and smooth horses beside them whose immediately turn in a circle, his eyes suddenly bright. He put a hand in his sleeve and rubbed his forefinger and thumb in front of him.

“I want to know, if you will give me money first.”

Li Luo immediately choked up, ‘What the hell, I just asked for directions, yet you want we give you money? Uncle, is your character already overdue?’

“What? You look quite the wealthy, don’t tell me you can’t even afford this little money?” Mustached middle-aged man said to Li Luo with contempt.

Li Luo: “……” He really wanted to punch the guy.

Not waiting for Li Luo, Qin Yu extended his hand and threw a piece of silver into the hands of the middle-aged man.

At that the man’s eyes immediately became brighter, he bit the piece of silver with his teeth, and then carefully placed it in his bosom.

“Dear sirs, if you want to find general Nangong’s mansion, just follow this road all the way to the west, then turn left two times.” After he finished speaking, the man immediately turned around happily.

“Qin Yu, how could you really give money to that rogue? If he didn't want to tell us the way, we could have turned around and asked those gatekeepers. What were you thinking, giving him so much?” Li Luo looked helplessly at his companion, the money had been given, and even if he had a knot in his heart, he couldn't get it back from that shameless rogue.

“It's just a little money, Mucheng, let’s go.” Qin Yu pulled the reins and headed towards the direction that mustached middle-aged man  had pointed at.

Li Luo: “……” ‘Every time we booked rooms, didn’t you say we didn't have much money? Are you eating back your words?’

While wallowing in his depressing thoughts Li Luo didn’t notice Qin Yu, turning his head towards the direction that the mustached middle-aged man had left in; his eyes dark to the point of making people feel cold.

……

“He-he, those two rich people were really stupid.” Moustache middle-aged man went to in his usual alley. He looked back and narrowed his eyes, only once Li  Lou and Qin Yu disappeared at the corner of the streets, did the moustache on top of his lips raised up and his little eyes flashed with a trace of pride.
