The group of people walked quietly on the street without saying a word. But the two of them looked around and looked at the situation in the city.

Changsun Sheng watched and evaluated in his heart.

The undulating stone-paved streets have not been maintained for a very long time; the streets where people and horses are mixed are not divided into uses; the floors are dirty and there is no drainage and sewage system.

Look at the shops on both sides of the street.

The simple wooden houses with different styles have no awareness of fire prevention; the streets are dirty, rats and insects are flying everywhere in the shops, and there is no awareness of hygiene; the shops are sparse, and customers indicate that there is not much economic activity.

Pedestrians on both sides of the street looked at the two people. Most of them looked at them curiously and then continued to work numbly. Few people had energy, except for the ladies who had just teased Ren Xian, except for the noble lady.

Suddenly, while passing by a tavern-like shop, Chang Sun Sheng heard a few conversations that made him a little concerned.

"Annie, do you think my child Xiaorui is doing well now? Is she hungry? I'd better go back and don't want to be outside!" This was the voice of a woman who felt sad upon hearing it.

"Yuna, those damn human traffickers separated you mother and daughter and sold you to this place. You are really not a human being!" This was the voice of another charming woman who was more assertive.

"Besides, I've already come out. What are you going to do when you go back? Are you going to continue crying?"

"Annie, thank you, you are really a good person!"

"Okay, okay! Thank me, just tell me and let me get some air. Don't spend the whole day in a room crying in front of a broken wooden sign."

"That's not a broken wooden sign, that's the handprint of my daughter Xiaorui!" the sad woman said as if she was about to cry.

"Yuna, don't blame me for speaking harshly. I advise you to forget your child. You also know what you are doing now. What will you do if she finds out!" At this time, the other voice completely disappeared.

Charming, only indifference and numbness!

"Hey, this is the fate of us untouchables. The kind God Maya will bless her! Well, look, are the people passing by outside the weirdos everyone said?"

When Changsun Sheng heard these words, he turned to look at the shop behind him and saw two women at the door of the shop.

A woman was holding a wooden sign in her hands and was crying with her head down. Another woman was supporting her, stroking her back and looking up.

The moment Chang Sun Sheng and the woman who seemed to be named Annie looked at each other, the woman quickly lowered her head as if she was frightened.

The group of people gradually moved away, and they vaguely heard the conversation behind them.

"Yuna, look at them quickly. Those two people look really strange, but they are so good-looking. You can tell at a glance that they are noble lords!"

"Annie, I really..."

He could no longer hear what was behind him. If it weren't for the relatively quiet environment in the city and the lifeless people, he wouldn't have been able to hear this unique conversation.

Changsun Sheng shook his head, and his evaluation of this city dropped another level. He also guessed what the two women just did. The people's livelihood here is really in dire straits!

Riding horses through the long and narrow streets, we reached the end and saw a tall castle. This tallness was compared to the low civilian houses.

Built with the same stone as the city wall, the gray castle looks from a distance. The main building has about two floors, and a three-story stone tower-style building with a cylindrical spire is integrated in the southwest corner of the building.

The narrow openings in the castle wall are distributed in an orderly manner around the upper level. It is not known whether they are windows or arrow openings.

As we got closer, a dark brown wooden gate more than three meters high appeared in front of us. There was no moat, and there was no suspension bridge.

There is a small open space outside the gate. It can be called a square. And there is a balcony-like platform above the gate. This should be the place where the lord makes his speech!

This castle is more of a castle than a small manor with simple fortifications.

And this city is full of vulgarity and corruption. It is really hard to imagine how the people here survive in a place like this!

The two doormen saw the arrival of several people and hurriedly opened the door. One of the doormen went in to report. It seemed that this was an order given in advance.

After dismounting outside the gate, under the knight's demonstration, he tied the war horse to a horizontal log on the left side of the gate, and then walked into the gate with the first knight.

"How come there are no servants or grooms to feed the horses? How do the lords live here?" Ren Xian couldn't help it anymore and complained repeatedly.

"Haha, Captain Ren, you should be mentally prepared since you discovered this small town. There are no conscientious officials in our country, nor is there a wise and mighty monarch!" Changsun Sheng heard the complaint.

Finally, he said with emotion.

It’s true that if you don’t go out, you won’t know how good your own territory is!

Behind the gate is a doorway that looks like a city gate. The passage is not long, only one or two meters.

"This is the width of the city wall!" Changsun Sheng secretly wrote it down.

After exiting the doorway, there was an open space behind, paved with stone slabs and intact. It was completely incomparable with the ground on the street outside.

There are some flower stands and supports on both sides of the open space, and a few steps up is a corridor. The left and right connections just form a semi-circular corridor with the opposite hall.

Go straight, up the two tall steps, across the corridor, and follow the 'First Knight' into the hall.

"Lord, the two visitors have been ushered in!" The knight walked to the middle of the hall, made a fist with his right hand and lightly hammered his left chest, half-bent over, and saluted the white-haired old man sitting above.

Changsun Sheng looked at the white-haired old man sitting on top. He was wearing a set of black robes with some patterns. The loose robes covered his body inside. The silver throne he sat on was somehow decorated.

It was a bit reflective, so he raised his hands and cupped his fists in salute.

"The envoy of the Xia Kingdom, Sun Sheng, pays homage to the lord!"

Ren Xian also followed Chang Sun Sheng in raising his hands and clasping his fists in salute without saying a word, looking like a bodyguard protecting him.

"How dare you not kneel down to pay homage to the lord!" At this time, among the two groups of people standing on both sides of the hall, a middle-aged man in a white robe, headed by the one on the left, shouted loudly at the two of them.

Before Chang Sun Sheng could reply, the white-haired lord sitting on top said: "York, don't be like this. These are envoys from the south. It's normal not to know this! I forgive them!"

Changsun Sheng raised his eyebrows, which meant that he was rude. Judging from his appearance, he must have rehearsed it long ago and was just waiting for this one!

He took advantage of the other party's leisure time to speak, and quickly looked around, taking in the people standing on both sides of the hall, and said.

"I didn't know that as an envoy of a country, I have to kneel down and worship when I visit your master! Moreover, even if I want to worship, I'm afraid your master won't be able to bear it!"

"Oh, then I need to listen, why can't I bear it?" After the white-haired lord heard Chang Sun Sheng's words, he said "I, my lord". He said very curiously, and it was
Chapter completed!
