Chapter 207 The Most Beautiful Woman in Azangbu
More than a dozen cars drove in and parked in the yard, occupying only a small part of the yard, which shows how big the yard is.
Lord Rong Beile got out of the car and personally walked to the door of Nan Xiaoxiao, opening it for her like a gentleman. Seeing that she looked unwell, he asked, "What's wrong with you? Go upstairs and rest first. I'll have the Tibetan doctor come over to see you. The Tibetan doctors here are very skilled and can bring people back to health."
Nan Xiaoxiao's eyes were cold and indifferent, and she said lightly, "No need."
When she got out of the car, she saw many people in tattered clothes and with dirty and tangled hair kneeling on the ground in the yard, scrubbing the floor tiles and mowing the lawn.
The expressions on these people's faces were dull and dirty.
It was the first time she had seen these 'slaves' of the Azang tribe. She had heard before that in the Azang tribe, the nobles, officials, and temples almost controlled all the land. However, they only accounted for 5% of the total population of the Azang tribe, while the 'slaves' accounted for 95% of the total population. The lives of the 'slaves' here were like hemp ropes and dry grass, which could be trampled on by the nobles at will.
Without the consent of the landlord, they absolutely cannot leave here, and they have to sign an indenture from birth, because they have to farm to survive. Farming the landlord's land means they have to work for the landlord for more than 200 days every year for free. Not only that, they have to pay a large amount of taxes every year. If they have no money to pay taxes, they have to borrow from the landlord, and the interest rate of the loan is as high as 50%.
If you can't repay the loan, you will have to continue working for the nobles, and this will prevent your ancestors from getting out of poverty.
There was a flicker of emotion in Nan Xixi's eyes, but she concealed it by lowering her eyes.
Lord Rong took her to the largest room on the third floor and let her have a good rest.
Nan Xiaoxiao had altitude sickness here. She felt dizzy all the time and couldn't sleep, so she opened the window. The mirror-like sky seemed within reach. Occasionally, a vulture flew across the sky, making her realize that the sky was still very far away.
Looking further away, you can see temples scattered across the rolling hills.
…
“Dangdangdang!”
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
Nan Xiaoxiao didn't respond. Jing Junzhuo's voice came from outside the door, "Are you okay?"
"I'm taking a break!"
Jing Junzhuo sighed, "Okay, I'm next door, call me anytime if you need anything."
Nan Xixi didn't answer. She closed the window, lay on the couch, and forced herself to rest without thinking about anything.
Since we have to deal with such a powerful enemy, we must eat well and sleep well.

In the evening, the temple bells rang.
When Nan Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, she heard Jing Junzhuo's voice coming from outside the door, "The prince asked you to go downstairs and go to the Potala Palace with him.
The nobles of the Azang tribe invited us to a banquet.
The clothes are at the door. I'll go downstairs and wait for you."
When she heard the footsteps gradually fading away, she opened the door and brought in the clothes that Lord Rong had prepared for her. She quickly changed into them and went downstairs briskly.
At this moment, Lord Rong and the others were already standing in the patio-style courtyard waiting for her.
She was wearing a bright red Tibetan robe with dragon and cloud patterns outlined in gold and silver threads on the shoulders and cuffs. The wide robe was tied with a colorful belt around her waist, which perfectly outlined her slender waist.
Her silky green hair was braided with colorful ropes and hung over her left shoulder, and decorated with golden hair accessories, which made her beautiful facial features look quite exotic.
Lord Rong's eyes were dazed, and Jing Junzhuo and his other men couldn't take their eyes off him.
Nan Xiaoxiao was quite calm and got into the car in front of everyone.

Lord Rong's car was parked outside the Potala Palace, and some secular officials of the Azang nobles were already waiting for them by the stone steps.
