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!

"Mancheng, we're here!"

Chen Xuan took out the map, and the location marked on the map, the border city of the Daqian Dynasty, was right in front of them.

The convoy continued to move forward, and soon they arrived at 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 Mancheng line. Logically speaking, among the clan, when direct descendants come from the capital, they should at least 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 am not sure as well."

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 the people in the branch look down on Chen Xuan and do not take him seriously.

So what if you're a direct descendant of the capital's main vein? Here, you have to coil like a dragon and crouch like a tiger.

The second possibility is that it was someone from a branch, and this was done intentionally to intimidate Chen Xuan!

Of course, no matter which possibility it is, it shows that their days in the 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.

"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 Daqian Dynasty are second only to the royal family and are famous throughout the world.

Among them, the Chen family's branch 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 reputation 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 guards suddenly turned cold and said indifferently, "What are you doing in 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.

"and who are you?"

The soldier looked at Liu Jinyu, chin raised and a little disdainful.

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 not familiar with the place.

Moreover, these soldiers are regular soldiers of the imperial court, so it is difficult for him 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. Everyone from the Chen family will wait nearby."

The gatekeeper 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 came up one by one with unfriendly looks on their faces.

How many of these bandits are good people?

How many of them have good tempers?

"What do you mean?"

"Are you deliberately not letting us in?"

"Damn it! Why can everyone else get in while 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 bared their teeth and spoke in a scoundrel tone.

"What do you want to do? This is Barbarian City, not a place for you to run wild!"

Behind the soldiers guarding the city, a group of dozens of armored soldiers holding weapons came over and shouted at Liu Jinyu and the others.

"I'm warning you. Barbarian City has eight thousand elite soldiers. Anyone who dares to cause trouble here and anger 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.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so disrespectful to him, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

You're scared, it's embarrassing.

Don't be afraid, 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 Daqian 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?

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'm 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 first soldier guarding the city, he sneered:

"You're from the Chen family, right? You're 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.

"I told you to wait, so just wait obediently. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

The centurion's face was filled with impatience.
