Chapter 1002: Can one man serve you?
This tone is extremely respectful.
Jiang Lianzhu asked again, "Do sea monster tides happen often?"
The female shopkeeper was shocked. "If this happens so often, how can it be? Our Lancang Kingdom would have been finished long ago. I remember the most recent sea beast tide was six years ago. At that time, our female majesty had just given birth to a princess, and the sea beasts took advantage of her weakness to attack. Our female majesty did not hesitate to injure herself and led the royal army to drive back the sea beasts! That battle was so brutal. The sea beasts had broken through the formation and killed our Lancang Kingdom, and even ate the newly born princess heir..."
Jiang Lianzhu echoed, "This little princess is truly tragic. She died just after she was born. I'm sure your female leader must be extremely sad."
The female shopkeeper said, "That's right! Since then, His Majesty has been seriously injured in a sea beast battle and has not recovered yet. He was also heartbroken and injured by the death of the little princess, which has led to his inability to have children. Now our Lancang Kingdom doesn't even have a legitimate heir. However, the sea beast tide dares not attack anymore. Under the leadership of our Hua Dutong, the Royal Legion has turned from passive to active and often sends hunting teams out to clear out nearby sea beasts to prevent them from gathering in groups and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past."
"So that's how it is. Today we were surrounded by a group of sea beasts in the outer sea. It was the hunting team from your Lancang country who helped us escape. They all have the cultivation level of the eighth level of martial arts and look very powerful." Jiang Lianzhu continued to ask questions.
Liao Jiu doesn't need to say anything.
Normally, he didn't talk much with outsiders.
Besides, this is Lancang, a country where women are respected. He is a man of low status... and he has no right to speak.
The female shopkeeper patted Jiang Lianzhu on the shoulder.
"Of course, you must have reached the eighth level of martial arts to qualify for the hunting team. Our Hua Dutong is at the ninth level! And our former master, it is said that those at the peak of the ninth level can enter other dimensions at any time. She once said that our Lancang country is surrounded by sea beasts and is unsafe. There are great secret methods in the high-level planes outside that can move small countries and small dimensions like ours to a safe place, so that they will never be invaded by sea beasts again..."
"Oh? There is such a magical thing?" Jiang Lianzhu listened with great interest.
The people of Lancang Country are not only powerful in military force, but also have advanced imagination!
In ancient times, there was a man named Yugong who wanted to move mountains.
There are people in Lancang country who actually want to move their country.
At this time, the clothing store was busy again.
The female shopkeeper couldn't continue her conversation with Jiang Lianzhu and the others. "Of course. Anyway, you don't have to worry about us coming to Lancang. Our Royal Legion and hunting squads are all strong and capable of protecting us! We haven't had any sea beasts enter in five or six years. It's very safe! You should worry about your handsome husband, lest he become a target. Come back next time to buy clothes, and we'll talk again..."
After saying that, he went to greet the new guests.
"Okay, thank you."
Jiang Lianzhu and the others also learned a lot from the female shopkeeper.
That's about it.
When they left the clothing store, they were all dressed in the style of Lan Cang Country.
No one else was staring at them anymore, like they were watching a monkey trainer.
Set out to find Lin Ziji.
The Kingdom of Lancang is composed of several circular islands. The residents live on the small island in the middle, and most of the surrounding islands are planted with crops, trees, fruits, vegetables, grains, etc.
The entrance to the formation that Jiang Lianzhu and the others entered was in the middle, the very center of the country. The streets here were paved with sand and gravel, and the houses were built with sand, gravel, and shells of all sizes. Every house had a unique shape, very personal style, and was full of romance and imagination.
They walked and stopped here and there. Nanbao was curious. Whenever she saw something delicious, she would ask Jiang Lianzhu to buy some for her to try.
Jiang Lianzhu also took the opportunity to inquire about the situation in Lancang Kingdom.
They had wanted to release their consciousness to investigate, but unfortunately, Lan Cang Kingdom could not release its consciousness due to the special terrain or the formation.
If their consciousness could be extended, they would have directly used it to cover the entire island and search for Lin Ziji.
After making inquiries from various sources, they had a general understanding of the Lancang Kingdom. It was a group of islands surrounded by water, very large in area and with a large population. Adding together all the people, young and old, there were estimated to be over a million. It was said that before the sea monster appeared, there were even more people, but many were later eaten by the sea monster...
Their main source of livelihood is from planting and animal husbandry on several other islands.
However, hunting edible sea animals, skinning them and making dried meat for consumption is also a major source of daily necessities.
I walked around for most of the day until it got dark, and I only walked around a few streets, but I didn't find out any news about Lin Ziji.
Let's stay at the inn.
They found a place called Youfeng Inn. This inn was on the busiest street with a lot of people coming and going. If they wanted to find someone, they had to go to a place with a lot of people.
Jiang Lianzhu brought a lot of pearls, and gold is also commonly used here. The consumption level here is not high, so Jiang Lianzhu and her friends rented a small courtyard.
It has strong privacy. Once the courtyard gate is closed, you don’t have to deal with various residents.
A young servant took Jiang Lianzhu and the others to the courtyard.
The young man was not a cheerful person and was not as enthusiastic as the people I had met before. He looked a little melancholy.
We didn't talk much along the way.
After bringing them there, he said, "Dear guests, this is it. This is the best courtyard in our Youfeng Inn. I will be responsible for all matters concerning your courtyard, including daily cleaning and meals. Three meals a day will be provided, and I will deliver each meal to you in the courtyard. If you want anything to eat, you can tell me. If there is nothing else, I will go downstairs."
Liao Jiu replied, "Thank you very much! We are from Zhongyuan Continent. If you have food that tastes like that from Zhongyuan Continent, that would be great. If not, feel free to send some over."
The young man couldn't help but look up at Liao Jiu with an envious look on his face.
"How dare you, the men of Zhongyuan Continent, interrupt before your wife has spoken?"
This made Liao Jiu speechless.
Jiang Lianzhu took the opportunity to tease, "Zhongyuan Continent is different from here. Men can have three wives and four concubines, just like you can have ten or eight wives here."
The young man was dumbfounded. "How can one man serve so many wives?"
Liao Jiu...
Nanbao interjected, "Because he couldn't take care of her, my father married my mother alone. No, my father was a live-in son-in-law, so my mother married my father alone."
Now the boy understood. "I was wondering, how could a man marry so many wives that he couldn't even take care of them all..."
Nanbao laughed out loud.
The little fellow was wearing a long shell dress from Lancang Country. When he smiled, his body trembled with a jingling sound.
After the small talk, the boy is about to leave.
