I really don’t want to be a champion

Looking at the empty land in front of him, Lin Nan quickly took off the things on his face, changed into the clothes he had prepared in advance, and then casually threw himself into the river next to him.

So he happily hurried back to the city.

………………

………………

After an unknown amount of time and after some inquiries, Lin Nan slowly came back. Looking at the tall city gate in front of him, he was stunned for a moment.

This was the first time he saw this scene since he came to this world, and he felt a little emotional.

But he was only allowed to stop for a while, and then people started queuing up to enter the city.

Looking at the crowds of people queuing to enter the city, Lin Nan seemed out of place, both in terms of the clothes they wore and their appearance.

The people entering the city here are not much different from the people in the ancient feudal dynasties. They wear gray-white linen and carry a shoulder pole with things they want to sell in the city, such as some crops, hand-woven fabrics, etc.

At this moment, Lin Nan was standing in the crowd, instantly attracting everyone's attention. They all looked up at him, their eyes full of envy.

After feeling the gazes from all around him, Lin Nan realized something was wrong. He quickly looked at himself and then at the people around him.

Suddenly, I realized something was wrong.

At this moment, something unexpected suddenly happened to the people in the queue in front, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"No, you have dangerous tools on you, you can't go in with them."

As he was speaking, the city guard in front of him looked serious, holding something like a sickle in his hand, and kept arguing with the old farmer in front of him.

Seeing his farming tools being forcibly taken away, the old farmer was immediately unhappy and retorted: "Sir, aren't you making things difficult for me? Normally I can bring them in, and there is no such requirement on the notice. This..."

The old farmer had a very conflicted expression on his face, tightly gripping the wooden stick at the end, as if he was trying to convince the other party.

Unexpectedly, these words seemed to hit the other party's sore spot, and the city guard shouted angrily: "Why do you say I'm making things difficult for you? I don't want to make things difficult for a lowly servant like you."

"I told you this was just relayed from the palace. Now you can either take your stuff and leave, or take your stuff and go back to where you came from."

After saying that, the city guard snatched the thing from the other person's hand, threw it aside, and stared at the other person with an unfriendly look.

Faced with this situation, the old farmer stared at the tools thrown aside for a while, and finally just sighed helplessly, picked them up unsteadily, then picked up the shoulder pole, hunched over, and muttered: "God is blind... God is blind..."

"Years of war... and now there's a severe drought... what should we do now..."

The old farmer muttered something quietly, which instantly resonated with the people in the queue around him. They lowered their heads silently, and their expressions became lonely.

After watching this scene, Lin Nan felt very upset, but there was nothing he could do because he could not change any problem.

All I could do was watch this happen.

At this moment, the city guard suddenly shouted angrily: "You cannot enter the city without a pass. This is the rule. No one can violate it. Beggar, go back to where you came from."

"Otherwise you'll just wait to be whipped in jail. Get out of here now..."

After saying that, the city guards picked up the sticks in their hands and kept driving away the man in front of them.

The man, who was originally ragged and haggard, had deeply sunken eye sockets and a helpless expression in his eyes.

Then, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, his eyes widened and bloodshot, looking particularly ferocious, and he retorted: "I am not a beggar, I am a refugee from the south. My people were invaded by the Cheshi people, but the court did not send troops to support them. I came to meet your majesty and report the border situation."

After hearing this, the city guard raised his mouth with a disdainful smile, and then said: "Do you mean to blame His Majesty?"

After that, the city guards immediately shouted, "How dare you slander your majesty in public! Tie him up and put him in jail for trial."

Before he could finish his words, several people stood up beside him and arrested him without saying a word.

"It's unfair, it's unfair. How dare you, a small official, disrespect the laws of the court..."

No matter what the man did, he was eventually detained and taken away by the soldiers.

The people around were terrified and began to avoid each other for fear of bringing disaster upon themselves.

"This person shouldn't be from an ordinary family, right?"

Lin Nan rubbed his bearded chin, muttering to himself, and couldn't help but recall what he had just experienced.

Judging from the tone of the other person's words just now, as well as the moldy clothes on his body, it was obvious that there was a conflict between the two.

From the attitude of the other party's official, one can't help but wonder about his identity. Most people would definitely not speak in that tone to a country official, so the other party is likely to be from a prominent family.

However, people from famous families are also very strict with themselves. It is absolutely impossible for them to wear something like the other party just did. This is tantamount to taking their lives.

Just as Lin Nan was thinking, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Hey, what are you doing? Show me your pass and what are you doing here?"

After hearing the voice, Lin Nan realized that it was his turn.

Then he quickly took out the pass he had prepared, handed it to the other party and explained: "I am here to seek refuge with my uncle. My parents want me to learn some survival skills from my uncle."

After checking the documents and finding nothing wrong, the guard raised his head and looked at him: "Lianhe Village, Xialin family, yes, what does your uncle do?"

"I have opened a few rice shops and have been short of staff recently. Let me come and give you some help." Lin Nan said slowly.

This is the identity that Princess Fanying helped him to weave, and it was specially prepared for this operation. Even if the other party wants to check it personally, it is fine.

After listening to Lin Nan's explanation, the city guards' eyes clearly flashed with disdain, and they looked at him carefully with a scornful smile on their faces.

It seemed as if he was waiting for his next move.

At the same time, seeing that the other party was still unmoved, Lin Nan was instantly confused. The two sides just looked at each other, waiting for the other's move.

"Hahahaha...sensible...not bad..."

At this moment, the city guard who was checking nearby and a middle-aged man with gorgeous clothes and a big belly laughed at each other.
