Chapter 393 Invasion_1
"My lord! We have travelled from our village, on the road for a full day. Could you possibly let us pass?"
A villager, who was adept at such negotiations, and used to do small businesses in various villages, stepped forward to communicate with the guards.
While talking, he discreetly slid some coins across to the guard.
In a grand city, it would be normal for common folk to be barred entrance once the gates were closed at night.
But LeFeng City is merely a small town, even its walls were so dilapidated they hardly served any defensive purpose, the gate was mostly decorative. Whether the gate was closed or open, there was not much difference.
The reason they were being prevented from entering the town, was merely to extort some benefits.
He had dealt with such situations quite often before, which was why he opted to travel directly instead of stopping for a rest midway, planning to enter the town next day.
