Since ancient times, there had been many people who were skilled in both literature and martial arts. But it was rare for them to be in the same city at the same time.
After listening to Hou Yuetian's introduction, Lin Mengya was even more curious. What was so special about these two people?
Two days passed smoothly, and the main city of Jiang City was right in front of them.
The boat soon reached the shore. The moment they reached the shore, Lin Mengya could feel the uniqueness of Jiang City.
Generally speaking, there would be very strict inspection and registration procedures at a trading port that was adjacent to a foreign country.
But here, the people in charge of inspection and the people in charge of registration were full of hostility.
It was just that everyone was just competing with each other's work and doing their part well.
Take the soldiers that Lin Mengya and her group met for example. Before she got off the boat, someone brought a smooth footboard and smoothed the ditch between the boat and the shore.
Before she could nod to express her gratitude, a group of soldiers, who were obviously different from the previous ones, brought the registration book of the visiting merchants. Just because it was inconvenient for her to move, she was exempted from the inconvenience of going to the registration point.
They were very polite and took good care of her, so Lin Mengya was very grateful.
But unexpectedly, it was not over.
Seeing that this group of people were strangers, they should not be familiar with Jiang City. The group of people who had just brought the footboard to her immediately offered to be their guide enthusiastically.
After being rejected by Lin Mengya, she even gave them an extremely detailed map of Jiang City for free.
The smile on his face made Lin Mengya feel as if she was in a fake country.
"What an unbearable passion. Mister Hou, is everyone in your Eastern Summer Country this hospitable?"
Lin Mengya waved the map in her hand and chatted with Hou Yuetian softly.
Hou Yuetian did not look good. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. If he really had to say it, it was a little like — shyness.
"Ahem, it is not so exaggerated in other places. It's just that most of the ancestors of our Eastern Summer Country came from other countries. So we are not xenophobic towards friends from other countries. You don't have to worry about this. "
Even though his face was a little tense, he felt a little better that they were still able to receive such preferential treatment because they did not reveal their identities. Instead, they had come ashore as ordinary merchants.
At least it wasn't too shameful.
"In that case, we have nothing to worry about. Mister Hou, please lead the way for us to pay our respects to the two City Lords. "
Since they got off the boat, Long Tianhao's handsome face had been cold, and he did not even bother to look at Hou Yuetian.
She did not know what Qinghu was thinking. He even helped her to persuade Long Tianyu. This time, he acted as if nothing had happened, watching the show from the side.
She had no choice but to secretly pinch Long Tianhao's thigh while chatting with Hou Yuetian as if nothing had happened.
Sigh, why was it that every time he went out, he was always worried about her?
"There's no rush. Looking at the time, they should be patrolling around the city. Let's just walk slowly."
At the mention of these two good friends, even Hou Yuetian couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The reason was that these two guys had known each other since they were young, and they used to get along well, just like real brothers.
However, the incident five years ago made the two brothers turn against each other.
Now, no one knew if they were deliberately going against each other, but they chose to be officials in Jiang City at the same time.
This made him, who was the mediator in the middle, feel quite tricky.
He hoped that these two people would not embarrass him in front of Miss Qingge.
They walked all the way in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. Although Jiang City was only a city on the border, it was not small.
The villages that they had seen before were scattered around the main city of Jiang City.
The design of this place was very interesting. Not to mention other things, although the waterways were accessible in all directions.
But if they were attacked, all the people around could retreat to the main city through the waterways in a very short time.
The main city was built very firmly. The tall city walls were enough to protect the people inside from the attack of foreign enemies.
Moreover, because the surrounding buildings were like this, if they looked down from a bird's eye view, they should be able to see everything at a glance.
In this way, even if there was an attack from the enemy, they would be able to discover it immediately.
In this way, no matter if it was safety or other considerations, they could all be taken care of.
It was said that most of the cities in Dongxia chose the style of satellite towns to protect the main city.
It seemed that the ancestors of Dongxia had spent a lot of effort to fight for this land.
Since they weren't in a rush, Hou Yuetian led the group around Rivertown for a while.
However, what attracted Lin Mengya the most was not the dazzling array of goods, nor the crowded streets.
It was the people of Jiang City of all kinds.
Strictly speaking, Dongxia was a country of immigrants.
Their ancestors, either because of famine or because of war, fled to this wasteland where the conditions were still very bad back then.
Here, they multiplied, intermarried, and made various laws.
In the end, such a country was formed.
Even though hundreds of years had passed, the people of different countries and different ethnic groups still retained some of the characteristics of their ethnic groups.
For example, it should be the time for the Spring Sacrifice in Dajin.
On the streets, there were many stalls selling things related to the Spring Sacrifice.
At the same time, she also found the special food of the Nation of Lintian. There were even people wearing the traditional clothes of Lieyun walking and playing on the streets.
There were even many foreign goods that Lin Mengya had never seen before being sold here.
At the end of the streets, there were many people in different clothes and accents. They were all crowded together, living their lives peacefully.
There were all sorts of differences, but now, they converged into an extremely harmonious scene.
Perhaps, this was really like what Hou Yuetian said, a country that was integrated and open.
The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up into a faint smile.
Even if there was still a struggle for imperial power, and there was still the possibility of war.
However, because of the special inclusive mentality of Dongxia, maybe in the future, this country would reach a height that she had never imagined.
She turned around and was about to say something to Long Tianhao, but she saw that there seemed to be a flash of deep thought in his eyes.
It seemed that she was not the only one who felt this way. As the future ruler of Dajin, her husband's thinking was also very avant-garde.
Regardless of whether he could find the Seven Poison Herb this time, if Long Tianhao could have an epiphany, this trip would not be in vain.
"Young master, I have something to report."
Hou Yuetian, who was responsible for explaining the local customs and practices, was suddenly interrupted by the voice of his subordinate.
After excusing himself, he followed his subordinate and moved forward.
The expression on Long Tianhao's face softened a little after he picked up the annoying girl and left.
He knelt down in front of Lin Mengya on one knee and gently brushed away the hair that was blown up by the gentle wind.
"Why? You're not angry anymore? "
Lin Mengya tilted her head and blinked at Long Tianhao playfully.
She knew that her husband was a big vinegar jar, but every time, Long Tianhao would be jealous, but he would not cause trouble. Therefore, she let him do as he pleased.
"I'm not that petty. After all, this is a foreign country. Our people's movements are also hindered. "
Long Tianhao said seriously. Although Jiang City seemed to be very friendly to foreigners, it was just on the surface.
However, that was only on the surface. If the people in the dark wanted to enter the city, they would probably have to spend a lot of effort.
Even so, every foreign businessman who came to Jiang City had to leave a very clear portrait.
Then those people in the dark had to find other ways to sneak into the city.
However, this place that seemed to be full of loopholes was impregnable.
Their people couldn't find a chance at all.
But the people of Candle Dragon Cult were different. In order to achieve their goals, they could spend many years hiding.
After a few years, or even more than ten years, they had already become residents of this city. They even had children here and had their own lives.
However, if the Candle Dragon Cult really wanted to target Lin Mengya, many people would come to deal with them in an instant.
Therefore, Long Tianhao did not speak, not because he was angry with Hou Yuetian.
On the contrary, he was a little grateful to Hou Yuetian. If it were not for him, it would be difficult for him and Qinghu to protect Lin Mengya.
Along the way, he and Qinghu seemed to be looking around, but in fact, they were all tense, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
After all, now only the two of them could risk their lives for Lin Mengya.
"Don't be so nervous. I guess the people who want to kill me won't choose to do it here."
With a gentle smile, Lin Mengya stretched out her gradually numb fingertips and gently touched Long Tianhao's face.
Now, she could not feel his warmth on her hands.
But so what? At least the love and indulgence in his eyes made her heart surrounded by the warmth of love all the time. As long as there was this, it was enough.
"I will protect you, whether here or anywhere."
His big hands firmly and gently wrapped her hands.
Long Tianhao gently kissed her slightly cold fingertips. Qinghu had already told him about her condition.
Now, except for her eyes and ears, Lin Mengya's other senses were gradually deteriorating.
When she met him, the lass could still stand up with her own strength.
