Xingyue, another world recasts the glory of human nature

In front of the white city gate, a group of people seemed to be waiting for them.Seeing the motorcade stop, the group of people also walked towards this direction.

There are eighty fully armed soldiers, led by two people: one is an officer who looks like a captain, his face is obviously different from the people here in Slaver's Bay; the other is a fat man wearing gray and white robes.

Looking at the heavily armed soldiers, the guards of the convoy were a little nervous.Hansen also subconsciously placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

But Enoch patted Hansen on the shoulder and shook his head, indicating that he didn't have to do this.

The guards of the convoy are all mercenaries who have experienced many battles on the mainland. Such a prepared look can be said to be instinctive, or it can be said that they feel a threat.

But this trip is ultimately a mission, not a war.Now that we are on someone else's territory, if the other party has any bad intentions, this alone will definitely not be enough for anyone to look at him.In this case, it is better to take it lightly, so as not to make the other party feel contemptuous.

Although Enoch didn't say anything, Hansen, as the deputy captain, understood the truth very well and immediately ordered his men to stop.

By this time, the team had reached the front of the motorcade.

The fat middle-aged man stood up first and looked at Enoch exercising his etiquette with a smile.

"Tandan's visit to Xi'an is surprising, but what is even more surprising is that you are the leading envoy."

"Lord Enoch, long time no see."

At such a close distance, Enoch also recognized the fat man’s identity:

"It turns out to be Lord Pasa."

When the master of New Xi'an ordered the expulsion of the nobles, most of the nobles chose to retain their honor and left Xi'an, but only one person gave up his status as a noble and chose to stay in Xi'an.

Under such circumstances, it is reasonable for the current Lord of Xi'an to send Pasha to greet him.

"I really don't deserve the title of 'Sir'. I am just a commoner now. Thanks to Mr. Kazama, I have been favored and ordered me to receive you all."

Although Pasa's tone was frightened, his posture was natural.He then said:

"We have prepared a resting place for you in the city. I can take you there now. I hope you will not blame us for our poor hospitality."

"Nothing."

Enoch smiled and said in the most friendly tone:

"This visit was not informed in advance, but it seemed unexpected. It is our problem."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Pasa took Enoch into the inner city.

But before entering the city, there was a small problem. When Hansen commanded his mercenaries to enter the city with the convoy, he was stopped by the officer who arrived with Pasa.

"What does that mean?"

Enoch's expression also changed slightly, and he looked at Pasa.

"That's right, Lord Enoch, armed soldiers are not allowed to enter the inner city."

"These are my personal guards. They are not allowed to enter the city. Our Three Stone City does not have such rules..."

Enoch said, staring at Pasa.

But Pasha didn't give in, and still had a smile on his face.

"Xi'an today is different from the past, and it is also different from Tandan's rules."

"If you are worried about safety issues, there is no need to do so. Since you have entered the land of Xi'an with good intentions, Xi'an should be responsible for your safety."

"Of course, if you are still worried, you can indeed bring your guards into the city, but the premise is that your guards will take off their armor and weapons and leave them to us for safekeeping. Until you complete your mission and return to Tandan , we will naturally return it.”

"Otherwise, please ask your guards to station outside the city temporarily, and Xi'an will also provide you with drinks and supplies."

Enoch's expression became a little ugly, but he returned to normal after a while.

"I understand, we are guests, so we must abide by the rules here."

Speaking to Pasa, Enoch ordered Hansen to temporarily let the mercenaries follow the instructions of the Xi'an soldiers to find a place to station themselves.After you're done, come back to the city to find yourself.

After making such arrangements, the convoy finally moved forward again and entered the city.After entering the inner city of Xi'an, the most intuitive feeling is that it is busy, and the streets have signs of being repaired and transformed.

Under the leadership of Pasa, they came to the original aristocratic residential area. The large area was large and wide. Just to satisfy the aristocrats for viewing, the buildings without any practical function were demolished and turned into construction sites.Construction workers are busy here.

The convoy was taken into a mansion courtyard, which was one of the few aristocratic buildings that had not been demolished and rebuilt.

"Please rest here for the time being... My city lord has important matters to attend to at the moment. A dinner will be held in the evening, and he will be invited to receive you at that time."

"I understand." Enoch nodded.

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." Pasa said and left the mansion.

Watching Pasa leave, Enoch winked at the personal servant beside him, and the servant immediately set off to chase Pasa.

"worn out..."

Entering the mansion and seeing the soft blanket cushions, Rajel pounced on them.After running around for almost four hours, there were some hiccups before entering the city, and now we finally found a place to stay.

Enoch also finished, still closing his eyes and concentrating, as if waiting for something.

After a while, Enoch's slave returned to the mansion and shook his head at Enoch.

"got rejected?"

Listening to the slave's words, Enoch frowned.

Chapter 1 What kind of person is he?

He took back the thumb-sized ruby ​​from the slave.The clear crystals sparkled in the light reflected in the hall.

Enoch originally wanted to use this gem to bribe Pasa, but he was directly rejected by the other party.

Putting the gem back into his sleeve, Enoch fell into deep thought.

"Is that Master Pasa too timid?"

Rajer suddenly said that he had just overheard the conversation between his grandfather and the slave.Of course, the two of them had no intention of hiding it from him.

"It's not like other Xi'an nobles who fled to Tandan. If they were found out about collecting bribes, they might be killed by the current Lord of Xi'an."

"No, you don't understand..."

Enoch shook his head: "I know Pasa. This guy has a relationship with Tandan and has done a lot of business with us before."

"I know that guy is a greedy person. As long as there is enough profit, he will do it even if there is a risk of losing his life."

"Besides, this isn't considered a bribe. I didn't really want him to do anything for us. I just wanted to ask him a few questions."

"The risk is very small, but Pasha still refused. This shows..."

Enoch said slowly: "In Pasa's eyes, this amount of money is completely out of proportion to the profits he has made by standing with Xi'an now."

"Pasa is also a smart man. There must be a reason for his decision to stay in Xi'an..."

While Enoch was muttering, Hansen also returned, and he also brought with him several good players from the mercenary group.Several people had taken off their armor, leaving only personal daggers and daggers. Such personal weapons could be preserved.

"Lord Enoch, Lord Rajel." Hansen saluted the two of them in turn.

"Everyone settled down?" Enoch asked.

"Well, we are stationed not far outside the city, and there is a water source nearby."

"It seems that Xi'an's military camp is next to us. We are stationed there to monitor us."

"Barracks?"

The word caught Enoch's attention.

"Did you see anything worth paying attention to?"

"I'm really sorry, Lord Enoch. I originally wanted to find an excuse to take a chance to spy, but I was driven away before I even got close."

"However, Xi'an seems to have incorporated a lot of slaves into the army. We were also driven away by soldiers who were former slaves."

"Slave?" Upon hearing this, Enoch laughed contemptuously.

Until this moment, Enoch's attitude towards Xi'an was tense.However, Enoch, who had always been cautious, still instinctively despised the recruitment of slaves into the army.

Slaves are always docile lambs. Even if they are led by a tiger, their nature as a lamb cannot be changed at all.

Xian'an's problem does not lie with the slaves at all, but with the forces that came out of the forbidden land.

"Hansen, I will give you a sum of money. You can go to the city now to buy a batch of food and wine and deliver them to the knights stationed outside the city."

"Don't touch the things given by Xi'an. Also, remember to restrain your subordinates and don't let them have too much contact with Xi'an's people."

Enoch warned.

"I understand..." Hansen nodded and said, "I'll do it right away."

After getting a sum of money from Enoch, Hansen resigned.The subordinates he brought with him were to act as guards for Enoch and Rajel.It has a limited effect, but it's better than nothing.

About an hour later, Hansen came back, and looking at his appearance, it was obvious that everything was going well.Enoch then asked about the prices of food and wine in the city.

Food is quite cheap, but the price of drinks is a bit expensive.

"It seems that Xi'an has quite sufficient food... Also, Xi'an should have accumulated a lot of food and wealth before."

"It's a pity that this group of outsiders and the group of untouchables who are supposed to be slaves have been advantaged."

After Hansen came back, the sky became a little dark, and Enoch no longer had the idea of ​​sending anyone out to find out the news. Instead, he stayed in the arranged mansion to rest and recuperate, quietly waiting for the arrival of night, and the dinner party. invite.

What Xi'an has seen so far is just the appearance. If you really want to explore Xi'an's current situation and Xi'an's future choices, you still have to meet the lord from behind the Forbidden Land.

In this way, as night gradually fell, the servants of the city lord's mansion sent a carriage outside the mansion to pick up the Itandan envoy.

Enoch and Rajel changed into more gorgeous bright red clothes early and boarded the carriage of the City Lord's Mansion.

The place where they settled was not far from the City Lord's Mansion, and they soon arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion.The two men walked through the garden under the leadership of the servant.

Even though he is a Tandan noble, he often comes in and out of the Tandan City Lord's Mansion. Seeing the garden of the Xi'an City Lord's Mansion here, Rajer couldn't help but marvel.

"I've long heard that the original city lord of Xi'an had an amazing garden. When I saw it with my own eyes, it certainly lived up to its reputation."

Due to etiquette, Rajer was included in the entourage of the Tandan envoy, and he did not enter the city lord's palace with his grandfather.

At the moment, there were only him and a maid who was guiding the way.

While he was admiring, Rajer also found that the maid who greeted him was not in high spirits, and even said she was a little unhappy.

"You must have been Xi'an's slave before." Rajer asked.

"Yes, sir..." Although the maid was unhappy, she still maintained the most basic etiquette.

"I am praising your Xi'an garden, why should I be unhappy?"

This question made the maid a little embarrassed.

"Just tell the truth. I won't hold a grudge against you and tell your steward or lord just because of this trivial matter."

Hearing what Rajel said, the maid hesitated a little, but finally said what she was thinking.

"This garden is indeed Xi'an's treasure, the favorite thing of the original city owner, but it belongs to Xi'an, but it does not belong to us. Although, this garden was built by us."

"Compared with this garden, Mr. Kazama presided over the construction, which allows us to walk on a smoother road, allows me to drink clean water from the well, and shelters us. I like it more."

The maid's words made Rajel speechless for a moment, and he heard the name Kazama again.

"What kind of person is your Lord Kazama?"

"I heard from the nobles you expelled before that your Lord Kazama is a bloated barbarian with a hideous face..."

Before Rajer could finish speaking, he felt an extremely angry gaze.The maid in front of him was glaring at him fiercely.

"My lord from Tandan, please be careful what you say!"

Chapter 1 Gift

The maid's angry look made Rajer shrink his head. Neither of them spoke anymore, but Rajer was more curious about the current city lord of Xi'an.

In this way, he arrived outside the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion. The maid led him here and then left. Under the steps of the main hall, his grandfather and Hansen, who was acting as a personal guard, were here.

Seeing Rajer slowly coming up behind him, Enoch frowned slightly, perhaps noticing that his grandson's expression was a little unnatural, and asked:

"what happened?"

Rajeel immediately shook his head.

"Nothing... I just think the garden here is very nice."

Rajer said, naturally he wouldn't have the trouble of finding a maid, but recalling the maid's words and looking at the garden around him, he felt a little silent.The few people did not wait outside the hall for too long, and then entered the hall under the guidance of the maid.

The city lord's palace in Xi'an was built 300 years ago. During these 300 years, there were many demolitions, reconstructions and expansions.In terms of architecture alone, it is the representative building of the White Stone City.
