Chapter 313 Hello, Junlan State

Early in the morning, everyone set off to the border of Junlan State.

Not far ahead was the place to enter the customs inspection.

“Why so strict this time? What happened?” at a place less than a hundred meters away from the city gate, Xiao Xu raised his eyebrow to ask Fire Spirit.

“I don’t know neither, I heard it was ordered by the top people letting them guarded strictly. Fortunately, we got customs clearance before, otherwise it will be difficult to enter the city.” Regarding the strengthening of the manual guard, he sent someone to investigate; unfortunately, nothing was found, the order came as inexplicable.

“Well, when we come to customs, no matter what happens, no motion allowed.” Xiao Xu had no clue at this time, but he vaguely felt that there was something strange. According to his experience, in recent years, the Junlan State seemed peaceful but always had internal fighting, the diplomatic relations with other countries were still quite good, however, the emperor’s greatest concern shouldn’t be this side of the border.

“Yes.” Fire Spirit nodded, they wouldn’t act lightly even without his master’s command. After all, they weren’t in Xixuan, the strong dragon couldn’t beat the local snake.

Chu Qingyan felt a little bit erroneous from their conversation. Would there be any change in the way to pass by Junlan State?

Xiao Xu turned around, met her worried eyes, and said, “What are you thinking?”

“Big Ice Cube, it’s been half a month now, we can’t make any mistakes.” Chu Qingyan worried.

“Don’t worry, leave everything to me.” Xiao Xu wasn’t good at comforting, only to say this.

Chu Qingyan nodded, but even with his assurance this time, she was still disturbed.

Because they came to Junlan State as a trader, and they had several previous proofs, so they soon passed.

This place they visited was the most edge town in Junlan State could be said the most mixed place, there were businessmen and tourists from various countries, but also a lot of petty thieves.

Chu Qingyan’s group were very low-key, but the goods on the carriage also attracted the envy of others. But the body of the Fire Spirit and others were too strong to be bullied, so those greedy eyes just fell on them and moved away reluctantly.

“Master, I heard that Junlan State was very rich, but why does this town look so run-down?” Xining asked curiously.

Can’t blame Xining for asking this, because when they entered the city, they saw the dust was blowing, the ruined house, the broken wine flag, and the passers-by were in a hurry, and there were few good cloths on their bodies, except for outlanders, their clothes were a little better, basically, they were wearing rough linen, and beggars were everywhere.

“Because here is the national boundaries, once the war happened, these places would be the battlefield, it’s needless to say the damage. Therefore, generally the emperor won’t spend too much effort on developing these places, because even if the war is ignited, it won’t cause too much loss.”

Chu Qingyan hadn’t answered yet, Jinxin who was holding the horse said this.

Jinxin looked normal, and answered it without thinking at all, which made Chu Qingyan somewhat surprised, “Jinxin, I have never thought you knew that much.”

“I don’t know.” Chu Qingyan’s words made him pause, in fact he didn’t understand why he knew these things.

“Master, was Jinxin right?” Xining asked, turning his head.

Chu Qingyan nodded, “Jinxin is right, in order not to waste resources, the emperor generally doesn’t develop the economy here, so the people who live in the cities and towns around the border will be ready to flee at any time.”

Xining nodded to agree.

“Earth Spirit, I feel that I can’t keep up with the step, I actually saw three babies around ten years old discussing this kind of national policy. Shouldn’t they be playing mud at this age?” Fire Spirit was a little shocked.

Earth Spirit gave him a disgusting glance, “At this age, I have already acquired two marksmanship.”

Wood Spirit also said, “At this age, I have carved eight immortals across the sea with a large piece of wood.”

Air Spirit didn’t fall behind, “At that time, I have already started to learn medicine, no problem to develop more than a dozen poisons.”

Fire Spirit felt that he was hurt, he just complained. When he was ten years old, he learned dodge Kungfu when he was thrown down from the cliff by his master.

At this time, Chu’s father came over and patted him on the shoulder, he regretfully said, “It doesn’t matter, you still can learn a lot now! I can barely teach you how to dance.”

Fire Spirit drew the corners of his mouth, lowered his left shoulder, and slowly escaped Chu’s father, then gratefully said, “Thank you, I feel that sword dancing is more suitable for me.”

Chu’s Father looked at Fire Spirit who ran away fast, and sighed slightly, he regretfully said, “There are few bosom friends, who will hear my saying?”

“Darling, what are you still waiting for? It’s time to eat!”

“Well, I’m on my way. What’s for lunch?”

Chu’s father immediately off his unpredictable appearance and leaped forward.

At this time, they settled on a tea house, although it looked like the whole the building was going to crooked, but it was amazing that it still stood upright.

The way to know a place was to go where the flow of people was fastest.

As soon as they sat down, the waiter came up to ask.
“I’m going to eat a beggar’s chicken, braised meat balls in brown sauce, and eight delicacies!” As soon as Chu’s father opened his mouth, the surrounding table people laugh.

Chu’s father scratched his head and asked the people around him, “Caicai, did I say anything wrong? Are these dishes’ name funny?”

Chu Qingyan pulled the sleeves of her father, and said in a small voice, “Daddy, they don’t have those dishes you order.”

“Oh, I’ll change to something else,” Chu’s father thought seriously, then told the waiter, ” I want to casually order fricassee sea cucumbers with abalone!”

The waiter was very awkward, “Guest, we don’t have these seafood.”

“Birds are OK!” Chu’s father looked embarrassed.

Chu Qingyan had nothing to say.

“Waiter, just serve your specialty dish!” Chu Qingyan opened her mouth and saved the embarrassment of the waiter.

“Okay, my guest!”

Father Chu shook his head in disappointment, “Nothing delicious.”

The people around him couldn’t stop smiling, but it was because of Chu ’s gag that many vigilant eyes moved away. It was just a pair of childes who came out with a pair of silly parents, nothing needs to be alertness.

While waiting for the dishes, Chu Qingyan heard drinking, punching, and various discourses around.

“Hey, Mr. Xu, have you heard? The court has been turbulent again recently!”

“What do you mean? Our emperor has just ascended the throne, what will happen?”

Two men dressed as scholars whispered.

Xiao Xu held a teacup in his hand and his eyes darkened.
