Chapter 232 Two City Lords (Part 1)

After walking along the rural cement road for more than 20 minutes, the vehicle suddenly turned and rushed through the mud, passing through a jungle, and then passing through several layers of hills, and then saw a pass. Reading

Lin Ya kept talking in his ear, Luo Ren chose to automatically block it and carefully looked at the surrounding environment. There were hills on both sides, and the pass was also located between the two hills. It was somewhat similar to the terrain of the previous Paradise City, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The convoy arrived at the city, Lin Ya lowered the car and waved, and the guards on duty in the city immediately opened the city gate.

Several cars slowly drove into the pass. After entering the pass, it was indeed a natural shelter in a paradise.

Through the car window, Luo Ren saw the buildings on both sides and the underground road. It was indeed as Lin Ya said, the houses were built with rock blocks, and the road was paved with fine rocks.

Driving along the street, we soon arrived at the center of Yancheng. There is a castle here, just like a building in a Western fairy tale. There is a moat around the castle, and only the drawbridge at the main gate can enter.

Luo Ren was surprised to see that he felt as if he was in the Middle Ages in the West, and there was a wonderful state of traveling through time.

"This is the Yancheng Castle. All the officials of Yancheng, including the two city lords, live in it." Lin Ya explained.

Luo Ren nodded slightly, and then asked: "What are the names of the two city lords you mentioned?"

Lin Ya said: "The city lord is Li Xiyan, and the deputy city lord is Li Xixue. They are twin brothers and sisters. You can call them Yancheng Lord and Xuecheng Lord."

"Yancheng Lord, Xuecheng Lord" Luo Ren muttered, then nodded and said: "I remember."

Lin Ya retracted his gaze, then got off the car and waved to the guard on the other side. The guard saw that it was Lin Ya and immediately lowered the drawbridge.

The drawbridge is not made of rock, but a wooden structure, made of four large pieces of wood, which looks very solid.

After waiting for the suspension bridge to land smoothly, the car drove onto the suspension bridge and headed towards the castle.

Passing by the guards, the guards clenched their right fists and placed them on their chests to express respect.

Instead of going to the City Lord's Mansion immediately, they came to the medical center in the castle.

Several wounded people, including a senior official like Lin Wu, were seriously injured. The staff of the medical center were shocked and immediately all the staff started up. All the doctors were dispatched to lift Lin Wu to the bed. After a check, they found that he was not in danger of life. All the medical staff breathed a sigh of relief.

A doctor said to Lin Ya: "There is no danger to life, but too much blood loss. With the physical fitness of Boss Wu, he will recover in a few days. Don't worry too much."

Hearing this, Lin Ya was also relieved. He looked at Luo Ren and said: "Since Uncle Wu is fine, I will take you to see our city lord."

"Okay." Luo Ren agreed without hesitation. After telling Fei Ling a few words and letting him stay here alone, he said to Lin Ya, "Please lead the way."

Under Lin Ya's leadership, they walked through the streets and alleys to the door of the tallest and largest building in the castle, on which were engraved three big characters, City Lord's Mansion.

Luo Ren stared at it for a while and always felt it was strange. These three characters were out of tune with the overall building, and the building materials of this City Lord's Mansion were different from those used in other buildings.

No, it should be that the building materials used in all the buildings in the castle are different from those outside the castle.

The buildings outside the castle are basically rocks and wood, supplemented by concrete or clay. The buildings inside the castle are very regular bricks. The overall architecture is not much different from the Western medieval architecture, but it is very different from the traditional architecture of Xiaguo.

Standing in front of the door and looking inside, the fire was shining. I don't know if it was intentional or the designer's skills were not enough. The lighting in the mansion was not good, so artificial light sources were needed in broad daylight.

"Let's go."

At this point, Lin Ya spoke less, but looking at her little action of biting her lips, she should be trying to hold back.

Following Lin Ya into the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, the light in the hall was dim, and it was illuminated only by oil lamps on both sides. Moreover, the space was not like a normal City Lord's Mansion hall, and the word "big" was not prominent.

At this time, there was no one else in the hall except a few guards on duty and the two of them.

"Follow me."

Just as Luo Ren was looking at the layout and arrangement of the hall, Lin Ya suddenly turned and walked into the side door, and did not forget to turn back and greet.

Luo Ren followed him in confusion. If it weren't for Lin Ya leading the way, he would probably fall when crossing the side door, because this place was not ordinary. There was a staircase behind the side door, and the angle was very large.

Going down the stairs and entering the passage, the light here was even worse. The lighting tools on the walls on both sides were not oil lamps, but torches.

"Hey, are you sure this is the City Lord's Mansion, not a dungeon?" Luo Ren finally couldn't help his curiosity, and quickly caught up with Lin Ya and asked.

Lin Ya continued walking and explained, "This is indeed a prison cell. It was built when foreigners invaded in modern times. If it weren't for the huge manpower and material resources required for reconstruction, it would have been demolished and rebuilt long ago.

Which Xia people would like this kind of weird arrangement?"

After hearing this, Luo Ren was relieved. No wonder he always felt that the buildings here were weird. So that's it.

At this time, he couldn't help but imagine what the two city lords would look like. After all, they were talented enough to choose such a place as the city lord's mansion. They were not afraid of calcium deficiency all day long without seeing the sun?

Walking along the passage for a distance, then passing through three doors, and then going up the stairs, the view in front of him suddenly opened up. It turned out to be a large "wasteland" inside.

It's not actually a wasteland. There are still bamboos here, but there are only a dozen adult bamboos.

There are two bamboo houses on this wasteland that are the most eye-catching.

In fact, apart from the surrounding walls and the dozens of bamboos, there is nothing to attract the eye.

The bamboo houses are half a foot off the ground and are antique and charming. As you go up the stairs, there is a bluestone path that extends to bifurcate in the middle, and then extends to the front of the two bamboo houses.

Under Luo Ren's gaze, Lin Ya straightened her clothes and straightened her back, which made a certain part of her stand out more.

Hold your chest out, raise your head, and move with small steps, just like women in ancient times.

"What's going on? Why are you doing this?" Luo Ren was filled with questions by Lin Ya's confusing behavior.

"That's right." Lin Ya had only taken two steps when she suddenly thought of Luo Ren. She immediately ran back, straightened Luo Ren's clothes, and then said, "Put your hands like this, and then walk like this."

She put her hands behind her back in a decent manner, then took steps, imitating the walking of men in costume TV dramas.
