Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 313 Hello, Junlan Kingdom

Early in the morning, everyone set off for the border of Junlan Kingdom.

Not far ahead is the place for customs inspection.

"Why are you so strict this time? What happened?" Xiao Xu raised his eyebrows less than a hundred meters away from the city gate, and Huo Ling asked.

"My subordinates don't know either. I heard that the superiors ordered them to guard them strictly. Fortunately, we have obtained the customs clearance documents before, otherwise it would be very difficult to enter the city." Regarding the strengthening of manned guards this time, he sent people to investigate , Unfortunately, nothing, can only say that this order came inexplicably.

"Well, when you enter the customs later, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to do anything." Xiao Xu didn't have a clue at this time, but he vaguely felt that this matter was a bit strange. It's peaceful and infighting inside and out, but the diplomatic relations with other countries are still good. The emperor of Junlan Kingdom should not be most concerned about this border.

"Yes." Huo Ling nodded, even without the master's order, they would not act rashly, after all, there is no need for Xixuan here, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake.

Chu Qingyan faintly sensed something was wrong from the conversation between the two. Could it be that there will be some changes in the Junlan Kingdom?

Xiao Xu turned around, met her worried eyes, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"Big ice cube, half a month has passed now, we can't make any mistakes." Chu Qingyan was worried.

"Don't worry, everything is up to me." Xiao Xu is not good at comforting people, and this is the only thing he can say.

Chu Qingyan nodded, but even if she got his guarantee this time, she still felt uneasy.

Because they came to Junlan Kingdom as merchants, and they had the proof of their previous visits, they passed quickly.

The place they went to was the most fringe town of Junlan Kingdom. It can be said that it was the most mixed place. There were businessmen from all over the world, people from all corners of the country, and there were many petty theft.

Chu Qingyan and his party were very low-key, but the goods on the carriage also aroused the jealousy of others, but Huo Ling and the others were in good shape, so they were not easy to bully at first glance, and those greedy eyes only fell on them With one or two eyes on his body, he reluctantly moved away.

"Master, I heard that Junlan Country is very rich, but why does this town look so dilapidated?" Xining asked curiously.

It is no wonder that Xining asked such a question, because as soon as they entered the city, they saw flying loess, dilapidated houses, dilapidated wine flags, passers-by who were in a hurry, and rarely saw better fabrics on their bodies. People, the clothes on their bodies are a little better, basically wearing coarse linen clothes, and there are beggars everywhere.

"Because this is the place where countries border each other. Once a war breaks out, these places will bear the brunt of the damage. Needless to say, the damage and damage, so the general emperor will not spend too much time on developing these places, because if the flames of war are ignited, It won’t feel too bad either.”

Before Chu Qingyan could answer, Jinxin, who got out of the carriage and led the horse, replied.

Jinxin looked normal, and answered without thinking at all, which surprised Chu Qingyan, "Jinxin, unexpectedly, you know quite a lot."

"My subordinates don't know either." Chu Qingyan's words made him pause. In fact, he didn't understand why he knew these things.

"Master, is what Jinxin said right?" Xining turned his head and asked.

Chu Qingyan nodded, "I believe what you said is correct. In order not to waste resources, emperors generally do not develop the economy here, so the people living in the towns around the border will be prepared to pack up their things and flee at any time when there is a war. .”

Xining nodded, expressing understanding.

"Tu Ling, I feel that I can't keep up with the rhythm more and more. I actually saw three ten-year-old children discussing this kind of national policy. Shouldn't they be playing with mud at this age?" Huo Ling was a little shocked.

Tu Ling gave him a disgusted look, "At this age, I have already mastered two sets of marksmanship."

The wood spirit also said, "Young master, at this age, I can already use palm-sized wood to carve the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea."

Kong Ling did not lag behind, "At that time, I had already started to study medicine, and it was no problem to develop more than a dozen poisons."

Huo Ling felt that he was very hurt, he was just complaining, when he was ten years old, he was thrown from the cliff by his master and learned light kung fu, okay?

At this time, Father Chu came over, patted him on the shoulder, and said regretfully, "It's okay, you can still learn a lot now! I'm reluctant to teach you how to dance."

Huo Ling twitched the corner of his mouth, lowered his left shoulder, and slowly escaped Chu's father's clutches, then said gratefully, "Thank you, this subordinate thinks that sword dancing is more suitable for me."

Father Chu looked at the oiled Huo Ling on the soles of his feet, sighed slightly, and said with great regret, "There are few bosom friends, who will listen to the broken strings?"

"Yuenlang, what are you doing standing there? It's time to eat!"

"Hey, here we come, what's for lunch?"

Father Chu immediately took off his inscrutable look, and ran over bouncing around.

At this time, they settled in a teahouse. Although the whole building was almost crooked when it was opened from the outside, it was surprising that it could still stand upright.

To get to know a place, go where the crowds move the fastest.

As soon as the group of them sat down, Xiao Er came up to ask.

"I want to eat beggar's chicken, braised lion's head, and all kinds of delicacies!" As soon as Father Chu opened his mouth, people at the surrounding tables burst into laughter.

Father Chu scratched his head and asked the people around him, "Caicai, did dad say something wrong? Are these dish names funny?"

Chu Qingyan tugged at her father's sleeve, and whispered, "Father, these places don't have the dishes you want."

"Oh, then I'll change it to something else," Father Chu thought seriously, and then said to Xiaoer, "Then let's have an abalone and sea cucumber!"

Xiao Er was very embarrassed, "Guest officer, we don't have any of these swimmers in our store."

"It's okay to fly that day!" Father Chu looked reluctant.

Chu Qingyan felt that she really convinced her father.

"Second brother, you can serve whatever signature dishes you have here!" Chu Qingyan said to save the embarrassment of the waiter in the shop.

"Alright, sir!"

Father Chu shook his head in disappointment, "There is nothing delicious."

Everyone around laughed from ear to ear, but it was also because of Chu's father's gag that the vigilant eyes of many around were turned away. It was just a pair of sons and brothers who came out with a pair of stupid fathers and weak mothers, so there was nothing to be wary of.

While waiting for the food, Chu Qingyan heard drinking, punching and various discussions from all around.

"Hey, Brother Xu, have you heard? The court is going to be in turmoil again recently!"

"My dear brother, what do you mean, our emperor has just ascended the throne not long ago, what could happen?"

Two people dressed as scholars were discussing in low voices.

Xiao Xu paused the hand holding the teacup, his eyes darkened.
