After changing their clothes, the two of them visited the East District for a while and had a rough understanding of the customs and customs here.
This place is quite similar to that of the ancient Earth, but because of outsiders from different places, the people here are relatively open-minded while also having a hint of vigilance and rare unity.
The people here are very curious about outsiders and are willing to contact outsiders, but at the same time they are also very vigilant, and there seems to be a hint of envy and jealousy.
"Everyone is here, let's exchange information." Yan Jinghong took the initiative to suggest when he saw that everyone was back.
Everyone had no objection, and they talked one by one in groups. Everyone's information was quite mixed, but the content was similar, which was similar to what Yan Jinghong learned.
"Everyone knows the information, do you have any ideas?" Yan Jinghong asked.
Everyone had ideas and were very consistent, and they all planned to visit the city lord's mansion at night.
Yan Jinghong's mouth twitched, and he had to remind him, "We don't plan to do anything bad. Wouldn't it be better to walk in with dignity?"
They are neither bandits nor assassins, so why not walk in with dignity?
"Ah! Is this OK?" a young boy asked blankly.
"Send a reply first, let's talk about it if it's OK."
Everyone thought about it and agreed with a little embarrassedly. They also thought it wrongly for a moment.
It was dark, and I gave me a message to you tomorrow. Everyone found an inn, spent more than ten taels of silver, and ordered four rooms and a table of supper.
When the waiter of the inn saw them, he greeted them very skillfully. When checking the cash, he smiled and said, "Our inn is just relying on you, the foreign guests."
Yan Jinghong felt a little moved when he heard this, "There are some outsiders in the inn?"
"Of course, although there are more than ten inns in Jiangyancheng, there are many outsiders. Let's divide them into pieces, and each one must have a lot of them." After the waiter said that, he boasted, "What's more, our inn is so good. Those who know the environment of other inns are willing to come to stay here."
For dinner, eight people ordered twelve dishes. It is said that most of these are special dishes in the inn, including chicken, duck, fish and meat. Although the dishes are very rich, they exude a simple feeling everywhere.
"Steamed chicken, I haven't seen such a practice for many years."
"This fish tastes good, it's quite fresh."
"The tofu soup tastes a bit light, and this is the first time I have eaten such simple tofu."
"Don't be picky, some of them will be good."
Yan Jinghong took a few bites and thought the taste was OK, but the seasonings were added, which seemed a little simple.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest without saying a word all night.
The next morning, Yan Jinghong prepared a reply letter and asked the people from the Jianying Group to send them to the City Lord's Mansion in person.
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion accepted the prayer letter, but did not say much, leaving only a word of waiting for the news, and stopped talking, looking skillful and indifferent.
When Yan Jinghong heard this news, he had a bad premonition about this mysterious city lord.
"Analysis from the guard's attitude, the city lord should not like us very much." Yan Jinghong analyzed.
Everyone also felt that this was the case, otherwise they would not have been so cold, "What should we do?"
"First get familiar with the situation here. In such a strange place, maybe there is something good. Let's be careful and don't rush back." Yan Jinghong was not anxious at all. Those outsiders who didn't know where they came from also regarded this place as a place of training, and maybe there was something good here.
Everyone probably thought of this, and there was a hint of excitement in their worried expressions, "Then are we going to act separately?"
"Since, there are mountains and villages around this ancient city, right? Everyone can go around in groups and get familiar with the environment first." At the same time, you can also wait for the city lord's reply.
"Okay." The eight people were still divided into four groups and headed in different directions.
At the same time, the city lord's mansion was also talking about topics related to them.
"Teacher? These people know the rules quite well." On the main seat of the city lord's mansion, there was a man wearing a half-mask. The man was tall and amazing, and he looked very lethal.
This man is Li Bu, the lord of Jiangyan City. His cultivation is the Great Perfection of Foundation Building, and he is only one step away from the Golden Pill. But it is exactly this step that he has been walking for hundreds of years but has not yet walked it.
"City Lord, do you want to meet them? These people have just arrived here and should not be familiar with the situation here." Li Bu started to sit a man with elegant masculinity, but his eyes were shining with a shrewd look.
"Hmph, what's the point? It's just a bunch of waste!" Li Bu's expression was cold and hard, and his tone was also very gloomy.
The elegant man is Mo Qi. He is a guest minister of the city lord's mansion, or a strategist. He smiled slightly and gave people a very gentle feeling, "If you see him, you will have hope. If you don't see him, you will have no hope."
Although you will be disappointed when you see it, it is better than losing the courage to expect.
Li Bu also understood this truth. He was just disappointed too many times and was already numb.
"Then you go and see them. I still have to practice. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do." Although Li Bu didn't see him, he still let go.
Mo Qi nodded, "Okay."
The city lord's mansion agreed to summon him, and Yan Jinghong received the news when she returned to the inn that night. And all day long, she and Gu Ying came to visit the entire Jiangyan City and had some thoughts in her mind.
"Do you think there is any difference between the people here?" Yan Jinghong suddenly asked during dinner.
Everyone was stunned at first, but then they shook their heads. They were ordinary people, and they didn't think there was any problem.
"Do you have any problems with the people?" Jianying asked with a frown.
"I think their mentality is problematic." Yan Jinghong analyzed, "It seems to be content with the status quo, but in fact what they do has formed a kind of inertia."
"What does it mean?" Jianying asked with some difficulty.
Gu Yinglai explained: "They can't get out, so they give up their hope of going out. Such people will gradually become numb."
Everyone looked at each other, thinking that if they were trapped in one place and couldn't get out...
"So scary."
Yes, it's terrible! Everyone nodded at the same time and began to worry about their future. What if they can't get out? Will they be trapped in this place forever!
"Then, can we go out?"
"Of course!" The answer was Yan Jinghong. Since he could come in, he could naturally go out! The strong will never give up on the existence of hope!
