932: Chapter 892: Just Entered the City 932: Chapter 892: Just Entered the City As dusk approached, Lu Chuan looked out into the distance and saw Tiannan City far away.
The city within his sight was about the size of his fingernail, standing on the horizon, surrounded by a vast and endless plain.
Continuing on their way, Lu Chuan saw so tents and wooden walls from afar.
Riding on horseback, Lu Chuan would necessarily pass through these camps.
Lu Chuan turned his head towards Dongfang Cheng and asked, “Are these camps part of the city’s military?”
Dongfang Cheng looked forward, shook his head helplessly, “I’m not sure, let’s go and see.
This is also my first ti coming to Tiannan City, I don’t know much about this place.”
Lu Chuan could only move forward, following the main road, and soon he arrived at the entrance of the camp.
The camp was set up on both sides of the road, and in the middle, there were checkpoints for a basic scrutiny of people passing through.
As Lu Chuan rode past, he was stopped by a soldier dressed in silver armor.
“What brings you to the city?”
He looked at Lu Chuan and asked.
“To et soone.”
“Is it just the two of you?”
Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Yes, just the two of us.”
“Where are you coming from?”
“Beihe City.”
“Alright, go ahead.”
The checkpoint opened, and Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng rode inside.
Tiannan City also had a significant daily influx of people, so generally, they were quickly asked and let through.
After passing through the camp, Lu Chuan continued towards the direction of Tiannan City.
By evening, Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng had only reached the city gates.
Waiting in line at the gate, they slowly entered the city.
Once inside, Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng led their horses along the streets.
The size of Tiannan City was indeed larger than that of Beihe City.
The population alone was said to be over a hundred thousand.
Lu Chuan walked on the streets, looking at the shops around him.
“Let’s find an inn to stay in before anything else,” he said.
Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng walked along the road and soon spotted a nicely decorated inn.
The inn was three stories high, bustling with people entering and exiting, and without any garishly dressed won touting for guests, it seed quite respectable.
Lu Chuan entered the inn and walked to the counter.
The lady at the counter smiled warmly as she saw Lu Chuan.
“Sir, are you looking to stay or dine, or perhaps both?”
She smiled cheerfully at Lu Chuan.
“Two rooms, please.
We’ll be staying here for a while,” he replied.
“No problem, here are your key cards.
How many days will you be staying?”
Lu Chuan thought for a mont and said carelessly, “Start with half a month; will this amount of money be sufficient?”
Lu Chuan casually took out a small gold bar and placed it on the counter.
Seeing the gold bar, the lady’s eyes sparkled with excitent, and she burst into laughter.
“No problem at all!
That’s more than enough!
Not just for the room, your als are covered too!
Eat as much as you like, no worries!”
Lu Chuan smiled faintly, turned his head towards Dongfang Cheng, and said, “Let’s go upstairs.”
Many people in the lobby looked at the two of them, impressed by their generous spending.
Dongfang Cheng did not follow right away but stood at the counter looking at the lady.
“This is our first ti in Tiannan City, can you tell us a bit about the situation here?”
“Well…
What exactly do you want to know?
I don’t know where to start.”
The landlady smiled helplessly.
“For example, about the Nangong family.”
Upon hearing this, the landlady sighed, “The Nangong family, in our Tiannan City, is the preeminent aristocratic family, very powerful, and we all fear them.”
“But recently, so misfortunes have occurred in their family, which seed to hit them hard, nearly leaving them gasping for air.”
“It’s uncertain what will beco of the Nangong family in the future.
It’s really hard to say right now.”
“Are you going to find the Nangong family?
Many people in their family have died.
It’s possible that your friend is among them.”
The landlady realized she had misspoken and quickly corrected herself.
“That’s not what I an.
If you’re going to the Nangong family to find soone, you will definitely be able to find them!”
Dongfang Cheng shook his head, “I’m not here to find anyone, just asking.”
“By the way, do you know Nangong Qianying?”
The landlady cocked her head, gazed at the wall beside her and pondered for a mont, “Nangong Qianying, that na sounds familiar, but he hasn’t been seen in public for many years.”
“That’s an old man.
Who knows if he’s even still alive.”
“Why are you asking about this?
Nangong Qianying is practically on his deathbed.
What can you do by finding him?”
Dongfang Cheng shrugged indifferently, “Nothing much, I just have another question, do you know a girl nad Su Changyue?”
“I don’t know.
With people coming and going here every day, how could I rember so many people.”
Dongfang Cheng nodded understandingly, “Fair enough.”
“One last question, who is the City Lord here in Tiannan City?”
“You don’t know this?
The City Lord is nad Yuan Tiancheng, his power is extrely strong, and his City Guards are capable of suppressing the Nangong family.
It’s best you keep a low profile in Tiannan City.
If the City Guards set their sights on you, you won’t be able to leave the city.”
Dongfang Cheng nodded slightly, “I understand, this City Lord Yuan Tiancheng, his strength must be above the Martial Saint Realm, right?”
“Should be…
I guess, I’m unclear about that, I’m not one to practice martial arts.”
Dongfang Cheng turned and walked towards Lu Chuan.
“That’s all I wanted to ask.”
As Dongfang Cheng approached Lu Chuan and they were about to head upstairs, suddenly soone ca over, placing their hand on Dongfang Cheng’s shoulder.
“Are you looking for Su Changyue?”
Dongfang Cheng paused his steps and slowly turned around.
The person behind him was dressed in black and wore a mask, looking very mysterious.
Dongfang Cheng looked at him curiously and asked, “Who are you?”
“What do you want with her?”
He loudly questioned.
Dongfang Cheng smiled, “Nothing, just want to et her.”
“Not many people in Tiannan City know her na.
How did you find out about her?
I’m asking you!”
His voice was loud and arrogant, seemingly commanding Dongfang Cheng.
Lu Chuan walked up briskly, coming in front of the masked man.
“If there is sothing, you can talk to .”
“What do you two want with Su Changyue?”
Lu Chuan spoke indifferently, “Are you a friend of Su Changyue?
Or a subordinate?
Do you seem to be afraid of her being found?”
“Afraid?
That’s a joke.
You must not know our strength.
We fear no one in Tiannan City!”
Lu Chuan chuckled, “If you are not afraid, why don’t you personally co to Beihe City to find ?”
Upon hearing this, the man’s pupils dilated instantly, looking at Lu Chuan with utmost surprise.
“What?
What do you an by that…
could it be that you are?”
