Throughout the ages, people who are both civilized and martial arts are not uncommon, but it is a rare thing for them to happen in the same city at the same time.
After listening to Hou Yuetian's introduction, Lin Mengya was even more curious about what was so different about these two people.
After two days of smooth sailing, the main city of Jiangcheng was in sight.
The boat quickly docked, and as soon as it reached the shore, Lin Mengya noticed something special about Jiangcheng.
Generally speaking, treaty ports adjacent to foreign countries will have very strict inspection and registration procedures.
But here, the people responsible for inspections and the people responsible for registration are full of gunpowder.
However, everyone is just working with each other and competing to do their part.
Take the officers and soldiers Lin Mengya and her group met as an example. Before she could get off the boat, someone brought a smooth pedal and smoothed the ravine between the boat and the shore.
Before she could nod to express her gratitude, a team of officers and soldiers, who were obviously different from the previous ones, immediately brought the registration book of merchants and merchants. Just because she had limited mobility, she could avoid the inconvenience of going to the registration location.
They were polite and took good care of her, and Lin Mengya was very grateful.
But I didn’t expect that this wasn’t the end yet.
As soon as she saw that this group of people were strangers, they must be unfamiliar with Jiangcheng. The group of people who had just brought her the pedals immediately enthusiastically and sincerely offered to be their guides.
After being declined by Lin Mengya, she actually gave them an extremely detailed map of Jiangcheng for free.
That charming smile instantly made Lin Mengya feel as if she had traveled to a fake country.
"It's really unbearable hospitality. Mr. Hou, are you all so hospitable in the Eastern Xia Kingdom?"
Lin Mengya waved the map in her hand and chatted and laughed softly with Hou Yuetian.
The latter's face was a bit unsightly, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry. If he really said it, it seemed a bit like shy.
"Ahem, it's not so exaggerated in other places. It's just that most of our ancestors from the Dongxia Kingdom migrated from other countries. So we don't have any xenophobia towards friends from other countries. This
Don’t worry, you can rest assured.”
Although his face was unexpectedly tense, because they did not reveal their identities and landed as ordinary merchants, they were able to receive such preferential treatment, which made him feel a little better.
At any rate, it was embarrassing, and it didn’t go anywhere.
"In that case, we have nothing to worry about. We would also like to ask Mr. Hou to help us lead the way to meet the two city lords."
From the moment he got off the boat, Long Tianyu had a cold and handsome face, and he didn't even bother to look at Hou Yuetian. r> But Qinghu didn't know what he was thinking. He usually helped her persuade Long Tianyu. This time, he just watched the show as if nothing was wrong.
She had no choice but to secretly pinch Long Tianyu's thigh while chatting and laughing with Hou Yuetian as if nothing was wrong.
Alas, why is it always her who worries about me every time I go out?
"There's no rush. Looking at this time, they should be patrolling all over the city. Let's just go slowly."
Mentioning these two friends, even Hou Yuetian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
There is no other reason than that these two guys have known each other since they were children and used to get along so well that they were like brothers.
However, the incident five years ago turned the two brothers into enemies.
Now I don’t know if they deliberately wanted to go against each other, but they chose to serve as officials in Jiangcheng at the same time.
But it made him, the mediator in the middle, find it quite difficult.
I hope those two people won't embarrass him too much in front of Miss Qingge.
Walking all the way towards the city lord's palace, although Jiangcheng is just a city on the border, its scale is not small.
The water town-like villages they had seen before were all scattered around the main city of Jiangcheng.
The design here is quite interesting, if nothing else, although waterways extend in all directions.
But if it is attacked, everyone around it can retreat into the main city through water in a very short period of time.
The main city was built very solidly, and the city walls were tall enough to protect the people inside from invasion by foreign enemies.
Moreover, because there are such waterside buildings all around, if you look at it from a high place, you should have an unobstructed view.
In this way, even if an enemy attacks, they will be able to detect it immediately.
In this way, whether it is safety or other considerations, they can also be taken care of.
I heard that most of the cities in the Eastern Xia Kingdom chose this satellite town design style to protect the main city.
It seems that the ancestors of the Dongxia Kingdom spent a lot of effort to earn this land.
Since time was not urgent, the group, led by Hou Yuetian, also visited Jiangcheng.
However, what attracted Lin Mengya the most was not the dazzling array of products, nor the crowded streets.
But it's all kinds of people in Jiangcheng.
Strictly speaking, Dongxia Kingdom
Belongs to an immigration country.
Their ancestors fled to this wasteland, either because of famine or war, and the conditions were quite harsh at the time.
Here, they multiplied and multiplied, intermarried among various ethnic groups, and formulated various laws and regulations.
Finally, such a country was formed.
Even though hundreds of years have passed, people from different countries and nationalities have still retained some of their national characteristics. ??
For example, it should be the time for their spring festival.
On the street, there are many stalls selling Spring Festival-related supplies.
At the same time, she also discovered the special delicacies of Lintian Kingdom, and there were even people wearing traditional costumes of Lieyun Kingdom walking and playing on the streets.
There are even many exotic products that even Lin Mengya has never seen sold here.
In the streets and alleys, many people with different clothes and different accents are crowded together and living their lives in an ordinary way.
All kinds of differences are now gathered into an extremely harmonious scene.
Maybe, this is really what Hou Yuetian said, it is an integrated and open country.
The corner of his mouth couldn't help but evoke a slight smile.
Even though there are still struggles for imperial power here, there are still possible wars.
However, because of the special compatible mentality of Dongxia Country, perhaps in the days to come, this country will reach a height that she has never imagined.
When he turned around and was about to say something to Long Tianyu, he saw that there seemed to be a flash of deep thought in the latter's eyes.
It seemed that not only was she touched, but as the future leader of the Jin Dynasty, her husband's thoughts were also very avant-garde.
Regardless of whether he can find the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass this time, if Long Tianyu can realize something, this trip will be considered to be in vain.
"Sir, I have something to report to you."
Hou Yuetian, who was responsible for explaining the local customs and customs, was suddenly interrupted by the voice of his subordinate.
After apologizing, he followed his subordinates and moved forward.
After picking up the annoying one and walking away, the expression on Long Tianyu's face softened slightly.
Kneeling on one knee in front of Lin Mengya, he gently brushed away the broken hair from her face that was picked up by the gentle wind.
"What? You're not angry anymore?"
Lin Mengya tilted her head and winked at Long Tianyu playfully.
She knew that this person in her family was a jealous person, but even though Long Tianyu liked to be jealous, he never messed up. So, she just let him go according to his temper.< br>
"How could I be so stingy? This is another country after all. Our people's movements have also been hindered."
Long Tianyu said seriously, although Jiang Cheng seemed to be extremely enthusiastic towards outsiders.
But that's only on the surface. If people in the dark want to enter the city, they will probably have to spend a lot of effort.
Even more so, because every foreign merchant who comes to Jiangcheng must leave a very clear portrait.
Then those people he had buried in the dark would have to find other ways to sneak into the city.
However, this place that seems to be full of loopholes is actually impregnable.
Their people can't find a chance at all.
But the people of the Candle Dragon Society are different. In order to achieve their goals, they can spend countless years lurking.
After a few years, or even more than ten years, they have long since become residents of this city, and have even given birth to children here and have their own lives.
However, once the Zhulong Society really wants to target Lin Mengya, I am afraid that many people will come to deal with them in an instant.
So Long Tianyu didn't speak because he was angry with Hou Yuetian.
On the contrary, he was somewhat grateful to Hou Yuetian. If he hadn't been there, it would have been difficult for him and Qinghu to protect Lin Mengya.
Along the way, he and Qinghu were observing everywhere on the surface, but in fact, they were tense and prepared to deal with unexpected situations.
After all, they are the only two people who can fight to the death for Lin Mengya now.
"Don't be so nervous. I guess the person who wants my life wouldn't choose to do it here."
With a gentle smile on her lips, Lin Mengya stretched out her fingertips that were gradually losing consciousness and gently touched Long Tianyu's face.
Now, her hands could no longer feel his warmth.
But so what? At least the love and doting in his eyes made her heart feel warm and surrounded by love all the time. As long as she had these, it was enough.
"I will protect you, whether here or anywhere."
The big hand wrapped her hand firmly and gently.
Long Tianyu gently kissed her slightly cold fingertips. Qinghu had already told him clearly about her condition.
Now, except for her eyes and ears, Lin Mengya's other senses are gradually degrading.
When she met him, the girl could still stand up with her own strength.
