11. Proud Han Shi(1/2)
"Young Master, that's Xining City!"
Han Shi pointed to a giant city in the distance and said happily.
Su Mu looked up and saw that the city of Xining was tall and majestic, like a giant beast lying on the plain.
However, before the giant beast, there seemed to be a large piece of moss growing in the continuous green field.
Get closer.
Sumu discovered that this "cowhide" turned out to be a short shack built outside Xining City.
"Young Master,"
Han Shi explained: "These shacks are all refugees who do not have household registration. They go to the city during the day to find some work, come out at night, dig some wild vegetables, eat hungry and fill..."
Among these refugees, men and women, they are basically skinny and skinny. They don’t even cover their bodies, not to mention patches.
What they live is worse than the people of Daliushu Village.
“How difficult the world is!”
Su Mu sighed slightly and said, "Get back and go to the city!"
"Oh, young master, go here."
Han Shi agreed and led Sumu to the city gate.
There are two passages to enter the city.
One is open to ordinary people, the queue is very long and the speed of travel is very slow. There is also a copper coin "entry fee".
The other one is much shorter and is clearly distinguished from the former.
This is specially opened to nobles, and even the "entry fee" does not have to be paid.
The audience they face are: powerful people, wealthy families, scholars, Taoists, people in the world carrying swords and swords, and... Hu people!
At this time.
A big Hu man with a beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a big man in sheepskin drove a few sheep over. When he met a woman blocking the way, he whipped him over with a whip.
"ah!"
The woman was beaten so hard that she jumped away like a toad.
"Bah, go to death!"
The Hu man spat and drove the sheep over to the passage here to enter the city.
beside.
Several scholars and wealthy families were preparing to enter the city, looked at the "Hu Man" with disgust, and covered their noses to avoid it.
Facing this humiliation.
The Hu man did not dare to look at all "disrespectful". He was timid and bowed his head and bowed like a quail.
Especially in the face of Su Mu, he even learned the etiquette of Yu State, bowed seriously and took the initiative to distance himself.
This attitude is...it can be called kneeling and licking.
It’s strange that the Hu people faced the tyranny of the people of Yu and the humble nobles of the people of Yu, and the two completely different attitudes were naturally reflected in one person.
"How come there are Hu people?" Su Mu asked Han Shi.
“That’s right.”
Han Shi explained: "A few years ago, our Yu State and the barbarians of Beiyan had a battle. They lost. What agreement did they sign to pay tribute to Beiyan and open three cities, saying yes...oh, how can that word say..."
"Mutual trade?" Su Mu's brow moved.
"Yes, young master, it's just a trade!"
Han Shi nodded suddenly: "Xining City is one of the three cities that trade together."
"Are the Hu people in Beiyan? His attitude..." Su Mu frowned slightly.
"This, young master, you don't know,"
Han Shi remembered that Sumu had been in seclusion for many years and had only left the mountain in recent days, and quickly explained: "Those group of Northern Yan barbarians rely on their own force and naturally look down on ordinary people, but they admire the culture of our country of Yu, so they still admire the nobles here, especially scholars."
"Not to mention, you are a person who is as magical as you."
He said proudly, looking tolerant.
"So that's how it is."
Su Mu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
In the history of the earth, wasn’t it the case with the Northern Song Dynasty?
The "exclusive passage for noble people" here is quickly entering the city, and in a short while, it was the two of them.
The entrance checked was an older, a young soldier. When they saw Su Mu and the others coming, they gave in with a smile.
Su Mu nodded slightly and walked over.
Han Shi was one position behind and his waist was straight.
Although this was his first time to take the "noble channel", he was not at all afraid because he knew that he represented the face of his son.
After the two left.
The young soldier slapped his head suddenly, as if he suddenly remembered something: "Uncle Li, we didn't check our household registration or were we in the road!"
"Hey, what do you know?"
The elderly soldier called "Uncle Li" smiled, his altars were exposed, and he squinted his eyes to teach his experience: "The temperament of that young man just now, I, Old Li, has never seen a second person for so many years... Can you offend such a noble person, a guard guard?"
Hearing this.
The young guard was scared and nodded with deep conscience: "Yes, that young man is indeed different, just like the person who came out of the painting... Uncle Li, thanks to you, otherwise, I would have caused a big disaster today!"
"Hi, it's nothing, just learn a little. If you do our job, you have to give it a highlight with just one pair of tricks!"
The elderly guard pointed at his eyes and said with a complacent look: "It's not a blowjob. Whether it's a peddler or a noble man or a rich man, we, Lao Li, have never missed the tricks... Then, I have eaten more salt than you have, and it's not a joke."
...
Sumu and his two men who had already entered the city naturally didn't know what happened later.
Passing the city gate.
On both sides of the avenue are a low alley, with many ragged poor people passing through it.
It seems that the refugees outside are better, but they are just some.
"Young Master, this is the sewage alley in the outer city, and the garbage from the teahouse and restaurants are all dumped here... As for the market, tram, and teahouse, they are all inside!"
Han Shi asked, "Young Master, where are we going?"
"It's still early, let's go and have a look!"
Sumu replied.
He came to Xining City mainly to collect energy, so he naturally had to walk around, take a look, and compare.
Of course, the seeds of the home and some formula materials will also be taken down if you encounter them.
"Hey, young master, let's go here."
Han Shi led Sumu and walked in the middle of the road.
This is also of particularity.
What are noble people? They naturally walk in the middle of the road; the people walk on the side of the road; while beggars, those poor people inside and outside the city, can only walk against the wall.
If there is a transcendence, the least it will be scolded, and the worst it will be punched and kicked.
As for Sumu and the others, they were naturally walking in the middle of the road.
Even some scholars and businessmen were worried about Sumu's temperament and would consciously avoid it when they saw the "master and servant".
"Hey, it's so glorious to follow the young master."
Han Shixin thought, straightened her chest and strided with her head.
You should know: in the past, he always wanted to hide from people and walk on the roadside when he entered the city.
How could he be as arrogant as he is now?
It's the first time I've lived to such a big age!
Of course, Han Shi knew in his heart that this was all Sumu's contribution.

[Han Shi is grateful to you, the target's emotional fluctuations are too large, free mental power is evacuated, and 1 energy is obtained...]
Su Mu glanced at him and smiled slightly in his heart.

Move all the way forward.
