    Chapter 665 The Legend of the Golden City

    Taking advantage of the wine, Han Yu asked the captain of the guard about the Golden City.  The captain of the guard, who was already half-drunk and half-awake, could be said to answer all questions at this moment. It is estimated that even if Han Yu asked the captain of the guard about what underwear Cheng Gong was wearing these days, the captain of the guard would just open his mouth and say it.

    "Hiccup~ If you want to talk about this golden city, then it's a child without a mother. It's a long story. According to legend, a long time ago, when this was a prairie, there was a small country here. But don't look at the elementary school, but this  The king of the country was very greedy. Whenever he saw something good, he wanted to move it home. Relying on his status as the king, the king grabbed many treasures, but the king was still not satisfied. Later, the king heard that there was a wishing fountain, and as long as  If you meet the request of the fairy in the pool, you can make a wish to the fairy, and any wish can be realized. After hearing this, the king mobilized all the manpower in the country to find the wishing pool."

    "After paying thousands of lives, the king finally found the wishing fountain. According to the request of the elves in the wishing pool, the king killed his wife and children to satisfy the elves' requirements. According to the agreement, the elves asked the king about his wishes. At that time  Many people are guessing what the king will wish for. Some think that the king will want to expand his territory ten times, some think that the king will ask for gold and silver mountains, and even more think that the king will want to marry the best in the world.  The beautiful woman as his wife There were countless speculations, but what disappointed everyone was that the king did not ask for territory, gold or silver, let alone the most beautiful woman in the world. He only wanted a pair of golden hands, but  Everything he touched, whether it was a person or an object, as long as it was touched by the king's hands, would turn into the king's favorite gold. At the beginning, the king was very excited, touching everywhere, and seeing what he saw  Everything turned into gold, from small cups and saucers to large birds and beasts, and finally even the king’s capital city was turned into a golden city by the king.”

    "But precisely because of this, the countrymen were afraid of the king, fearing that the king would turn them into gold. The countrymen ran away, but the king who was in excitement did not stop him. It was not until the king was hungry and needed to eat that he suddenly discovered that no matter what  Whatever he gets will turn into gold, and there is no way to eat gold. Only those who can't imagine will swallow gold. Of course, the king is not a person who cannot imagine. He just got the Midas touch and is still imagining everything he can see.  Everything turned into gold. In this way, the king was hungry for one meal or two. When the king could no longer walk and wanted to eat something, he sadly discovered that everything around him had been eaten by him.  The Midas touch turned into gold. It was only then that the king felt regret, but it was already too late. The elf would not give the king another wish, and the king finally disappeared in the golden city.  In the end, no one knows whether he is alive or dead. And the golden city also disappeared in a subsequent catastrophe."

    "Later, this place gradually turned into a desert, and people who got lost here began to discover from time to time that there would be a golden city in the depths of the desert. Later, as those people spread the news about the golden city,  The story spread. But no one has ever come out of the Golden City, and this legend was later regarded as a joke. Oh, by the way, if you really want to go to the Golden City, why not go to Pearl Town and find a man named  The weird old man in Carlo. It is said that the weird old man once went to the Golden City, but he became a little mentally disturbed after he came back. He is fine if he doesn't mention the Golden City, but he gets sick when he mentions the Golden City."

    After listening to the guard captain's story, Han Yu just wanted to ask a few more questions, but he saw the guard captain tilted his head and fell into a deep sleep. As for the others, they were already snoring loudly and were unconscious.

    Han Yu took Ning Ping and others back to the Courage, and told Han Mengxin and others about the legend about the Golden City that he heard from the guard captain. Han Mengxin frowned and said: "So, that king asked for it for himself.  He actually killed his wife and children with his own hands, and he deserved a bad death."

    "That's just a legend. Besides, that king probably doesn't even have any bones left. He can't hear you scolding him. It's better to save your energy." Han Yu said with a smile.

    "Then we still want to go to the Golden City?"  Lin Ke asked aloud.

    Han Yu heard the words and replied: "Of course I have to look for it. Even if it is not for the gold, it must be very spectacular to see a city made of gold."

    "Didn't the kidnapper leader say he had been there? Just ask him to take us there." Shi Bafang suggested.

    Ning Ping on the side shook his head and said: "The kidnapper leader lied. Han Yu and I asked the other kidnappers afterwards. They did go to the Golden City, but they did not go to the Golden City specifically, but when they were traveling in the desert.  Encountering a sandstorm, we lost our way and discovered the Golden City by mistake. At first, when they discovered the Golden City, the kidnappers did not dare to approach it, but when they returned here, they took a closer lookI thought about it, but couldn't resist the temptation of gold.  But what they didn't expect was that when they decided to go to the Golden City to move some gold back, the Golden City disappeared.  As for the kidnapper leader's claim that hundreds of people went searching but only a few came back, that's nonsense.  In this small town, the total population has always been maintained at around two hundred people.  If we go by what the kidnappers leader said, some of the kidnappers would have to die twice to make up for the number of casualties mentioned by the kidnappers leader.  "

    After hearing Ning Ping’s words, Shi Bafang stopped talking.  Han Yu saw it and said: "No matter what the kidnapper says, we can't believe it too much. Not only the kidnapper, but also the people outside, I don't believe what they say either. I plan to wait until I get to Pearl Town to find him  That weird old man named Carlo.”

    "I will go with you then." Ning Ping said after hearing this.

    Han Yu had no objection and nodded, and then everyone dispersed to rest.

    Nothing happened all night.

    When the guard captain sobered up, he had forgotten what happened last night, and he did not remember a single bit of the legend about the Golden City that Han Yu told.  And Han Yu had no intention of reminding him, so the incident just passed as if it had never happened.

    In the afternoon, when Han Yu and others were discussing what to eat for dinner, the guard captain responsible for patrolling outside the town came to the door and reported to Li Yun and Li Yu that their family members were here.  Upon hearing this, Li Yun and Li Yu hurriedly walked out of the Courage, and saw their teacher Li Jetta with her mouth wide open, looking at the huge Courage in surprise.

    This time Li Yun and Li Yu will come to Pearl Town. To put it bluntly, their teacher Li Jetta wants to take them out to experience the life of civilians.  It was just that the intention was good, but there was a slight deviation during the actual operation. Li Yun and Li Yu were kidnapped, which was beyond Li Jetta's expectation.  During the time when Li Yun and Li Yu were kidnapped, Li Jetta lived in self-blame and worry every day, until Cheng Gong brought her good news and bad news.  The good news is that the second child of the Li family was not harmed and is safe and sound.  But the bad news is that the second child of the Li family is unwilling to return to Pearl Town.  After hearing these two pieces of news, Li Jetta immediately left Pearl Town with her entourage. Under the leadership of the guide sent by Cheng Gong, she hurriedly and slowly arrived at the town where the Courage stayed.

    What surprised Lidette was that the Courage she saw with her own eyes was so huge. Lidette couldn't help but wonder whether the big iron can called Courage in front of her could fly.  This has exceeded the cognition of people living here, especially adults. Their ability to accept unknown things is not as good as children like Li Yun and Li Yu.

    Seeing with her own eyes that the two children were fine, Li Jetta's heart finally dropped.  Then Li Jetta wanted to use her identity as a teacher to take Li Yun and Li Yu away by force.  But what Li Jetta didn't expect was that after just being separated for a while, her prestige as a teacher would be severely damaged. Li Yun and Li Yu, two little guys who originally obeyed her words, actually rejected her.  The request is that he is unwilling to leave with Li Jetta.

    From the perspective of a child, staying with someone who forces you to learn this and that all the time, and who is not allowed to do this, and not allowed to do that, of course does not surround you with someone who will make everything go for you, and who will explain the truth to you even if you are not allowed.  Comfortable to be around.

    But Li Jetta didn't consider this. In Li Jetta's eyes, it was these strange humans in front of her that led the second child of the Li family to death and made them learn to resist.

    Of course, it was unwilling to leave when Han Yu and others were not pleasing to the eye.  Originally, Han Yu didn't care. If you want to stay, just stay. You don't understand the things on the Courage anyway.  But Li Jetta had no sense of being a guest at all. After boarding the Courage, she still behaved in the same arrogant manner, saying that this was not allowed and that was not allowed.

    During dinner, Li Jetta expressed her contempt for Han Yu and others' eating habits, which finally made Han Yu unbearable.  Looking at Han Yu who was staring at her, Lijieta was shocked, but then she forced herself to say to Han Yu: "What do you want to do? Why are you staring at me like this? I'm warning you, I'm specially hired by the Governor's Mansion.  Etiquette lecturer, if you are disrespectful to me, the Governor's Palace will not be polite to you."

    Hearing this, Han Yu sneered in his heart and opened his mouth to retort, but the kind-hearted Lin Ke quietly pulled his sleeves under the table, hoping that Han Yu would not be like a woman.  Facing Lin Ke's slightly pleading eyes, Han Yu didn't say a word in the end.  But Li Jetta didn't know Lin Ke's little moves. Seeing that Han Yu didn't say a word in the end, she thought Han Yu was suppressed by his background.  Then he became more and more arrogant. In Li Jetta's mouth, nothing about Courage could catch her eye.  At this time, Li Jetta didn't know that she had offended everyone on the Courage.

    Han Yu and Ning Ping looked at each other, the long-term tacit cooperation has made the two of them feel in tune, and they don't need to speak at all. They can understand each other's intentions with just one look.  The two people stood up at the same time, set up Li Jetta on the left and right, and walked outside the Courage.

    "What are you doing? Let me go, I'm warning you, let me go immediately!" Li Jetta shouted while struggling.  It's a pity that Han Yu and Ning Ping turned a deaf ear.

    After throwing Li Jetta out of the Courage, Han Yu stood in front of the cabin door of the Courage and said to Li Jetta: "Since you don't like anything here, please go away and don't cause trouble here.  .”

    "Bold, you actually spoke to me like this"

    "Shut up! If it weren't for the fact that you are a woman, do you think you could leave the Spirit like this?"  Han Yu interrupted Li Jetta loudly.  While speaking, Han Yudao released a little of the murderous aura hidden in his body.  For an ordinary person like Li Jetta, it only takes a little murderous intent to shut her up.  Li Jetta felt as if she had fallen deep into hell, her whole body was cold. She opened her mouth to say a few words but couldn't even say a word.

    It wasn’t until the hatch was closed that Lidette felt the pressure on her body relax.  It's just that Lidetta, who has never been treated like this before, couldn't accept it for a while.  Trembling, he pointed to the cabin door of the Courage, opened his mouth and said, "You, wait, wait."

    "Damn!" Han Yu opened the hatch and gestured to Li Jetta with his middle finger.  Then he was pulled back by Ning Ping with a smile on his face.

    Looking at the hatch that was closed again, Li Jetta’s lungs were about to burst with anger.  There was only one thought left in his mind, which was to make that guy Han Yu look good.  Finding the captain of the guard, Lijietta asked with a calm face: "If you are asked to launch a surprise attack, how sure are you that you can subdue those people?"

    The captain of the guard seemed to have heard a fantasy and looked at Li Jetta in disbelief.  Being looked up and down by the captain of the guard like he was looking at an idiot made Lidetta, who was already in a bad mood, feel even worse, and her attitude became even worse when she spoke, "What are you looking at? Answer me quickly!"

    Although he was disdainful, the captain of the guard knew that he could not afford to offend Li Jetta, but letting him deal with Han Yu, who was sitting and drinking together last night, was not what the captain of the guard was willing to do.  Besides, with Li Yun and Li Yu here, who can touch Han Yu and the others.  Only Li Jetta, who was confused about the situation in front of her, had such second thoughts.

    "Miss Lijieta, strictly speaking, Han Yu and those people are the benefactors who rescued Young Master Li and the young lady. Please forgive me for not being able to repay kindness with enmity."

    "What kind of benefactor? Now I suspect that those people are working with the kidnappers. They were acting from the beginning to the end." Li Jetta said casually.

    The captain of the guard felt ashamed of Li Jetta's unthinking confusion of right and wrong, but did not say it clearly. He just reminded Li Jetta: "Miss Li Jetta, please don't forget that Young Master Li and the young lady are still on board the Courage.  "

    "Stop talking nonsense, let me ask you, do you listen to my orders?" Li Jetta interrupted the guard captain arrogantly.

    "I'm sorry, Miss Lijieta. I am the guard captain of Pearl Town Mayor Cheng Gong. I am not a domestic slave of your Miss Lijieta family. I refuse Miss Lijieta's unreasonable request." The guard captain said sternly.  Face said to Lidetta.

    "You, wait, wait." Li Jetta pointed at the captain of the guard and said, unable to accept it for a moment.  Lidette, who was used to giving orders, did not expect to meet someone who dared to be rude to her today.

    But the captain of the guard was indifferent.  Although the guard captain may not have a high status, he is very accurate in judging people.  That Han Yu is definitely not a good person. He can talk to you nicely when you don't provoke him, but if you make him angry, he is definitely not someone who can swallow his anger.  What's more, none of Han Yu's companions are efficient, especially Ning Ping, who is an absolute master.  In order to please a noble lady who doesn't take him seriously, he would offend a master who could kill him at any time. This is something the captain of the guard would not do.  The captain of the guard disagreed, and the twenty people who followed the captain of the guard certainly would not listen to Lijietta.  Lijietta was frustrated by the captain of the guard, and angrily joined the people she brought with her.

    Li Jetta brought forty people, but thirty of the forty people were sent by Cheng Gong to protect Li Jita along the way.  There were only ten people who really listened to Li Jetta, and only four of these ten people were able to listen to Li Jetta. The remaining six people stayed on the Courage after meeting Li Yu and Li Yun, and were responsible for taking care of Li Jie.  The daily life of Yun and Li Yu.  It's okay to take care of people, but it's very problematic to hit them.

    After taking a look at the four people under her command, Lijietta couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.  Not to mention the damn guard captain, even he could see that if these four people went, they would be nothing more than a dish in front of others.

    "Wait, wait, when we return to Pearl Town, you will see how I will deal with it."Pick you up.  "Li Jetta glared at the Courage with hatred and swore secretly in her heart.

    Han Yu did not let go of people like Li Jita.  In Han Yu's eyes, she was just a little woman who was spoiled by the people around her.  As long as people know the consequences of offending her, then naturally no one will stand up for her.  What's more, Han Yu knew that Li Jetta's good days were only a few days away.  From what Li Yun and Li Yu said, they knew that although the two children were taken out with the consent of their parents, Li Jetta would not be able to escape the responsibility for such a major event as the kidnapping.  It will not be exposed just because the two children of the Li family did not suffer any harm.  After returning home, the first thing Lijietta had to face was the anger of her parents after her child was kidnapped.  Being laid off is certain, and as for what kind of punishment there will be, Li Jetta will probably have to ask for her own blessings.

    Han Yu had no interest in paying attention to Li Jetta, but was looking forward to what would happen after arriving in Pearl Town.  Because Cheng Gong had promised himself before that he would tell him the legend about the Golden City exactly when he arrived in Pearl Town.  As the saying goes, there is a Hamlet in a person's heart. Even if it is the same legend, there are different versions.  After hearing the guard captain's version of the legend of the Golden City, it was natural to listen to the version of the Golden City that Cheng Gong knew.
