The city wall looks like a giant beast crawling on the ground, majestic and magnificent. Every brick on the wall is engraved with traces of time!
"Barbarian City, we're here!"
Chen Xuan took out the map. The location marked on the map, the border city of the Dagan Dynasty, was right in front of them.
The convoy continued to move forward, and soon they arrived under the wall of the barbarian city.
"Strange, didn't you write a letter to inform the Chen family? Why didn't anyone come out to greet you?"
Before entering the city, Li Xiuning spoke in surprise.
The Chen family's branch has a very high status in the Barbarian City. Logically speaking, when direct descendants of the clan come from the capital, they should line up to welcome them.
However, at the gate of Mancheng, only ordinary people were coming in and out, and their luggage was checked. No one wearing Chen family clothing came out to greet them.
"I don't know."
Chen Xuan shook his head, but he didn't care. Since the branch of the Chen family didn't send anyone to greet him, he could just go find these people himself.
On the side, Li Xiuning didn't say anything. In fact, she already had a guess in her mind. If the branch people didn't send anyone to greet them, there were only two possibilities.
The first is that people in the branch look down on Chen Xuan and do not take him seriously.
So what if you are a direct descendant of the main vein of the capital? When you come here, you have to coil up like a dragon and lie down like a tiger.
The second possibility is that it was someone from a branch, and this was intended to intimidate Chen Xuan!
Of course, no matter which possibility it is, it shows that their future days in Barbarian City will not be so easy!
"Stop, where are you from?"
Just as they were entering the city, the soldiers guarding the city reached out and stopped Chen Xuan's convoy.
"The capital."
Chen Xuan took out a token and showed it to the soldiers guarding the city, "I am from the Chen family!"
The three major families of the Dagan Dynasty are second only to the royal family and are famous throughout the world.
Among them, the branch of the Chen family is very large in Mancheng. It can be said to be well-known and quite powerful.
Since I brought out the Chen family's sign, I'm sure these soldiers will give me face.
"From the Chen family in Beijing? Are you the Chen Xuan?"
The soldier guarding the city took a look at the token and spoke in surprise.
"You know me?"
Chen Xuan was stunned.
Although he was a notorious loser when he was in the capital.
But my fame won’t spread to the barbarian city thousands of miles away, right?
But this soldier guarding the city even called out his own name, which shows that he is quite famous.
"Oh, I've heard of it."
The soldiers guarding the city suddenly became indifferent and said indifferently, "What are you doing in the Barbarian City? And you brought so many people with you."
As he said this, he glanced behind Chen Xuan and saw hundreds of people gathered there.
"I came to the Chen family in Mancheng under the order of the clan leader to strengthen the clan." Chen Xuan spoke. His words were more official, but they were the truth.
"Okay, got it. Wait over there for now."
The soldiers guarding the city waved their hands, signaling Chen Xuan and the others to stand aside and not block the gate as there were still people coming in and out.
"What do you mean? You won't let us into the city?"
On the side, Liu Jinyu noticed that the attitude of these soldiers was not right and couldn't help but speak.
"Who are you?"
The soldier looked at Liu Jinyu, chin raised with a hint of disdain.
Liu Jinyu was immediately furious. He had been a bandit for so many years and he was always the only one who was arrogant. When did a gatekeeper dare to be so arrogant in front of him?
But after all, they were new here and were not familiar with the place.
Moreover, these soldiers are regular soldiers of the imperial court, so it is difficult for me to use force against them.
Immediately, Liu Jinyu suppressed his anger, calmed himself and said, "I am Mr. Chen's man, which means I am also a member of the Chen family!"
"Okay, got it. All the people from the Chen family will wait nearby."
The gatekeeper soldier spoke indifferently.
Judging from his attitude, the subtext seems to be saying that people who are not from the Chen family can enter the city at will, and people from the Chen family can forget about entering the city.
"you!"
Liu Jinyu was furious and his face turned red in an instant.
On the side, the bandits' younger brothers approached with hostile looks on their faces.
How many of these bandits are good people?
How many of them have good tempers?
"What's the meaning?"
"Are you deliberately not letting us in?"
"Damn it, why can everyone else go in, but we have to wait on the sidelines? Are you deliberately making things difficult for us?"
Several old bandits who held high positions in Liufeng Village grinned and spoke in a scoundrelly tone.
"What do you want to do? This is Barbarian City, not a place for you to act wild!"
Behind the soldiers guarding the city, a group of dozens of soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons immediately came over and shouted directly at Liu Jinyu and the others.
"I'm warning you. There are 8,000 elite soldiers in the Barbarian City. Anyone who dares to cause trouble here and angers the governor will be killed without mercy!"
The leading centurion said coldly.
These soldiers looked like they had been on the battlefield, and each of them had a special murderous aura.
For a moment, the bandits under Liu Jinyu were really intimidated.
"Boss, these soldiers are not easy to mess with."
"What should I do?"
They all looked at Liu Jinyu.
Liu Jinyu was a little troubled for a moment. He originally wanted to show off in front of Chen Xuan and let these soldiers guarding the gate not be so arrogant.
He didn't expect that the other party would be so disrespectful to him, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
You're scared, it's embarrassing.
Don't be scared, right? According to what the centurion said, there are a total of 8,000 elite soldiers guarding the Barbarian City!
After all, Mancheng is an important hub city on the border of the Dagan Dynasty, so it is normal that there are many soldiers guarding the city.
With so many people, if they really want to deal with these 500 bandits, they can kill them all without leaving a single one alive!
What to do?
Liu Jinyu didn't know what to do.
He quickly turned around, threw this problem to Chen Xuan, and asked, "Master Chen, these people won't let us enter the city, what should we do?"
After all, Chen Xuan is the one who makes the final decision.
At this time, Chen Xuan frowned.
He could clearly feel that these soldiers guarding the city were deliberately targeting him!
"I am from the Chen family. Please go in and report to the Chen family."
Chen Xuan had just arrived and didn't want to cause trouble, so he tried to speak in a friendly tone.
However, the centurion looked Chen Xuan up and down, and after listening to the report from the soldier guarding the city at the beginning, he sneered:
"You are from the Chen family, right? You are a young master from the capital, right? Stay aside and don't stop others from entering the city!"
Chen Xuan's face darkened slightly. The other party was not only being disrespectful, but was deliberately humiliating him!
"When can we go into town?"
Chen Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Just wait quietly if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
The centurion's face was full of impatience.
