Ling Ba's attention wasn't on shopping.
He kept a close eye on the passersby, fearing that someone might pose a threat to them.
As they walked, they came across a city wall.
The city gates were wide open and unguarded.
Qiu Yan thought to herself, "This town and the city are seamlessly connected."
They entered the city gates without any restrictions.
Initially, there were no changes inside or outside the city.
The same wide streets, the same aroma of grilled skewers.
The entire street was lined with countless shops selling jewelry, jade, leather goods, and wool products.
Throughout the journey, Qin Susu's eyes remained fixed.
"I've long heard that the girls from the Western Regions are as beautiful as celestial beings, and seeing them today, I can confirm that the rumors are true. Xiaoyan, look at their hair ornaments and their clothes, they're all so beautiful."
"Look again, you're practically drooling," Qiu Yan said with a laugh. Anyone who didn't know better would think Qin Susu was a man.
On the other hand, Ling Ba beside him remained expressionless, his mind focused on observing the movements around him.
Because it was so unusual, they strolled around for an hour.
When you first enter the city gate, the streets there are not much different from those in a small town.
No, it can't be called a town outside; it should be called the edge of Lushi.
Because Qiu Yan discovered that the entire Lu Shi Kingdom was here, and there was no distinction between villages and towns.
Lu Shi was, after all, a small country, and could not be compared with the Central Plains countries such as Dongjin.
Here, the paths crisscross.
The further you go in, the more prosperous it becomes.
Gradually, a magnificent palace came into view.
Lu Shi's palace was small and exquisite.
Within their field of vision, they saw a beautiful woman.
The woman was followed by a group of servants as she left the palace gates, seemingly out for a stroll.
This beautiful woman was much more beautiful than any they had encountered before.
She had large eyes, thin lips, and rosy cheeks—a classic exotic face.
On her head was a red veil with gold embroidery.
Her beautiful, flowing hair was adorned with several long braids, which hung down naturally along with her original hair.
A string of jade ornaments adorned her forehead, and gold ornaments hung from her temples.
Her earrings were exquisite, and the necklace around her neck was layered, elaborate, and gorgeous.
The delicate gold chain hanging from the necklace around her neck glittered.
Her thin, exotic-looking dress accentuated her graceful figure.
"Xiaoyan, look! Isn't that the princess from the Western Regions? She's so beautiful!" Qin Susu couldn't help but shower her with compliments again.
Qiu Yan also felt that the girls here were very beautiful.
He glanced back at Qin Susu and said, "You're not bad either."
"Hehe." It was rare to hear Xiaoyan praise her, and Qin Susu felt a surge of pride. "Why aren't there any clothing stores around here?"
"%￥#@!"
"&……%￥#@!"
Suddenly, several sharp shouts drew their attention.
Although she couldn't hear clearly, Qiu Yan knew that these people were calling them.
She turned around and saw several men in uniform walking towards them; they looked like soldiers.
"What do they mean?" Qin Susu also turned around.
She frowned slightly, looking somewhat displeased.
I was just strolling around town, how could I suddenly be targeted by someone for no reason?
Ling Ba's face was solemn.
His strong, powerful body blocked Qiu Yan and the other person's path.
Unbeknownst to them, the three of them were now completely surrounded by the soldiers of the Lu Army.
Qiu Yan had a bad feeling; she was afraid of being mistaken for a spy from the Central Plains.
