Mecha Star Wars.

Chapter 961 Mission Failed
The day and night on this planet are much longer than those on Lanxing, with a day lasting almost forty hours.

Converted to that, one day is equivalent to Lanxing's...

Forget it, let’s just count it as one day, otherwise it will be too chaotic.

Lin Fan suddenly started to think about the saying "One day in heaven is like one year on earth".

Could it be that the Heavenly Palace is also a planet with a different rotation period? For some unknown reason, it had a brief contact with the ancient Lanxing? Is it possible that the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, the Seven Fairies, Erlang Shen... are all real people?

Shake your head and get rid of all those random things in your mind. Now is not the time to think about them.

They were moving slowly behind the crowd, ready to be inspected by the soldiers.

There is a small town ahead, built along the road. As we walk along the road, the population gradually increases, and the number of houses also gradually increases, forming a small town.

It should be the one that Ivina mentioned, the villagers would come to exchange supplies.

The town's administrative level was not high, and there were no towering walls, but there were two soldiers holding spears guarding the intersection, questioning everyone entering the town. Pushing and shoving, scolding, and having a bad attitude caused the queue to be very long, but the movement was extremely slow.

"It's just a shabby town, and we still need people to guard the intersection?" Antonio was a little puzzled. "If we don't take the main road, we can get in from anywhere, right?"

They were new here and wanted to find out more about the situation, so they chose to take the main road. Those in the queue might not be first-time visitors, so don't they know it's more convenient to take another road?
"Shh!" The middle-aged man in front of them turned around with a look of horror and gestured to them to keep quiet. But when he saw their faces clearly, he was stunned.

Lin Fan and his companions all had first-class looks and temperament. Even though their clothes were no different from those of the surrounding villagers, five people with such outstanding appearance standing together looked like beautiful jade mixed in the sand, and it was really hard to ignore them.

The middle-aged man thought that such an outstanding person might come from a big family. He was frightened by his rude behavior just now and began to tremble in panic.

"Brother." Lu Xinyuan saw something was wrong and immediately walked over to him, holding his shoulders affectionately. "You are obviously a knowledgeable person. We are out of Kekan Village for the first time and have never seen the world. Please take the trouble to teach us."

"From Kahn Village?" The middle-aged man looked a little hesitant.

He knew that village, which was also nearby and not as wealthy as theirs... But how could such a poor place support so many wealthy people?

"Yeah." Lu Xinyuan told them their route.

The middle-aged man agreed with what he heard. Although he was still a little skeptical about their outstanding looks, he believed most of it.

The simple villagers did not think that the wealthy and powerful nobles would pretend to be poor people like them, nor did they think that the village of Kahn would cease to exist overnight.

"You will be issued a document when you enter the town. You need this document to do anything. Otherwise, it will be useless if you enter the town, and you will be caught by the patrol." He explained in a low voice, then pointed at Lin Fan and said anxiously: "Why are you still bringing a little girl with you? Send her back quickly!"

A few people exchanged glances, and Lu Xinyuan asked, "I haven't heard anyone from our village say that you can't bring a girl with you?"

From what I saw on the street and judging by the clothing styles, the local customs don't seem to have any special restrictions on women.

"Oh," the middle-aged man slapped his thigh, "the past is the past. Didn't these people not come before?"

Lu Xinyuan received the new information, his eyes rolled, and he also sighed: "I said, I haven't heard that there are guards in the town, I'm wondering what's going on."

"Isn't it..." The middle-aged man suddenly stopped talking, looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, so he lowered his voice again and again, "For the succession ceremony."

"We know about the new emperor's accession to the throne." Lu Xinyuan pretended to be serious, "But what does it have to do with these people in the town?"

"Who among those in the upper echelons wouldn't want to take this opportunity to show off in front of the new emperor?" The middle-aged man saw that he looked like a fool and wanted to break him into pieces and pour his words into his head. "What do you think they are standing here to investigate? To investigate people!"

"Investigate people?" Lu Xinyuan was still playing dumb. "What's there to investigate? Oh, you mean those bandits?"

The middle-aged man's eyes widened, and he covered his mouth anxiously, "Are you going to die?"

Lu Xinyuan blinked: "Woo woo~"

So... the bandits can't mention it? Or can't mention it in front of the soldiers?
The middle-aged man looked directly at Yinze, who was obviously older than his father, and the leader, with half of his face covered, only his nose and mouth were visible. He said, "As a parent, don't you know how to warn your children before you go out? He is so outspoken, it's easy to get into trouble!"

Yinze was already learning Tiandu language, but he was not so fast and didn't understand. Lin Fan quickly stepped forward: "Brother..."

“You, you!” The middle-aged man let go of Lu Xinyuan and rushed to Lin Fan. He lifted the scarf from her shoulders and covered her head with it. “Cover it up quickly! Cover it up! You are really not afraid!”

Lin Fan endured the urge to move, and followed the other party's kindness to cover his face, leaving only his eyes exposed.

The middle-aged man stepped back, looking at this one, then that one: "If you don't have anything urgent, you should go back first, and come back in a few days after they leave. With your looks, it's not safe for men either..."

what? !

So the soldiers were checking people... they were checking for men and women with outstanding looks, as gifts to the new emperor?
Does this new emperor really want everything, regardless of whether it is raw or cold? Or is someone using the guise of the new emperor to satisfy his own selfish desires?

But this situation seems to be good for them.

If they go with the flow and get caught up in the tribute team, will they be able to quickly meet up with Irene, who is also a tribute team?

But being controlled seems too passive...

Lin Fan thought that it would be better to avoid the conflict first and think of other ways to find out. If a conflict occurred here, it would be impossible to find out in a low-key manner.

She saw the same thoughts in the eyes of the other people and immediately decided to retreat: "Thank you for reminding me, brother. We will leave now."

Soldier A rudely pushed the man in front of him to the ground, and looked at the overturned bamboo basket, where the vegetables were scattered all over the ground. The man bent down to pick them up without saying a word, and laughed.

Just when I was feeling proud, I saw a few tall figures in the team walking in the opposite direction. One of them was wearing a long skirt, a headscarf, and a slender back, and it was obvious that they were young women.

His eyes lit up.

What kind of beauties could there be in this shabby town? They had been waiting for a few days but hadn't seen any good stuff. They were just about to give up, but unexpectedly a surprise fell from the sky.

Just by looking at their backs, you can tell that they must be top-notch! How can they run away with the gold coins they got?
"Stop!" He ran forward with big strides, calling out to his companions, "Never mind that, come here, hurry up!"

Lin Fan and his companions naturally heard the shouting, but because they were at a certain distance, they did not think it was directed at them. Also, because they did not want to turn around and expose themselves, they did not notice the approaching crisis.

When the people around him suddenly dispersed and the spears blocked him, he realized that he had been careless. But they did not panic and naturally protected Yinze in the middle.

“Little bitch!” Soldier A, who had caught up with her, panted and stretched out his hand towards Lin Fan viciously. “Want to run? I want to see what kind of fairy you look like!”

He stretched out his hand as if to pull Lin Fan's headscarf, but when he was about to reach up, he lowered his hand and reached for his chest.

Can Lin Fan indulge him?
She lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands and kicked him on the knee.

Soldier A, with a lewd smile on his face, immediately fell to the ground and lay on the ground for a long time without getting up.

Soldier B, who followed behind, immediately raised his spear and stabbed at them, but Merlinil blocked it with a blunt sword wrapped in coarse cloth, and the spear head broke.

Soldier B holding the spear and Soldier A who had just raised his head from the ground were both stunned when they saw this scene.

Their gaze shifted from Lin Fan and Yin Ze to Merlinniel's arms.

“Call someone, call someone!” the man on the ground wiped his nosebleed and shouted, “Quickly call someone to surround them. He must have a peerless magic weapon in his hand! A beauty and a magic weapon! We are going to be rich!”

A red light shot into the sky with a sharp whistle, exploding into a bright firework.

Lin Fan and his companions were not in the mood to appreciate it.

Mission 1: Keep a low profile.

Ended in failure!
