Chapter 253 I Can Also Rule the World (24)
Chen Yan rode on his horse, looking at the vast expanse of land ahead, and couldn't help but sigh: "Aunt Ye, this Kunyuan Kingdom is really huge!"
As he spoke, he observed the surroundings curiously.
Ye Yihan at the side smiled and responded: "Of course, after all, this is a country protected by the 'God'."
She remembered that she had introduced Kunyuan Country to Chen Yan before, but she couldn't help but say again: "Kunyuan Country is located in the center of Zhongzhou Continent. It has a vast territory and rich resources. It is one of the most prosperous countries in this land."
Chen Yan nodded slightly to show his understanding.
He remembered what his father had said to him before he left, and secretly felt fortunate that he had the opportunity to come to Kunyuan Country to broaden his horizons.
Chen Yan looked around and couldn't help asking, "We have been walking for so long. When will we reach their imperial city?"
Ye Yihan thought for a while, then replied: "We are now near the border town of Kunyuan Country, but Kunyuan Country is vast, and it will take a long time even from the border to the imperial city."
Hearing this, Chen Yan sighed helplessly. The enthusiasm in his heart seemed to have been completely exhausted by the long journey.
The excitement that the twelve-year-old boy had felt when he first left home had long since faded, and he now looked a little exhausted.
Seeing Chen Yan's expression, Ye Yihan suggested, "Although it's a small border town, it has some beautiful scenery. After we enter the city, Your Highness, why don't you take a look around? Aren't you always curious about Kunyuan Country?"
Yes! A country where women are respected is indeed curious.
Chen Yan nodded, agreeing with Ye Yihan's suggestion, but when they stopped at the city gate, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
How can this be called a small town?
Before entering this "small town", you can see the towers on the city wall towering into the clouds, and it seems as if there is no end in sight.
"Is this a small border town?" Chen Yan asked Ye Yihan beside him in disbelief, "How is it small? And aren't borders often accompanied by wars? Why has it developed so well?"
Ye Yihan couldn’t answer this question, but there were many “small town people” around them.
"Is this your first time here?" A young man in his twenties came over. "Do you want a guide? I'm very cheap."
Ye Yihan felt that they really needed a guide. After all, they were in a foreign country, so it would be better to find a local. After agreeing on the price with the other party, he was taken to another passage and entered the city.
"Why do we have to go through here?" Chen Yan didn't understand. "It seems there aren't many people over there."
The young man's name is Gao Zan. His father is a local of the town and his mother is an outsider, so he knows a lot of things.
"The small door you just walked through is for outsiders." Gao Zan then pointed at the labels on Chen Yan and his group and said, "You must keep this thing well. You can use it to exchange for the mark of the next city when you arrive there."
It turns out that because the customs of Kunyuan Kingdom are different from those of most countries in Central China, in order to distinguish between foreigners and locals, each city will set up such a small gate to allow outsiders to pass through.
They will also be given special labels to distinguish whether they are local people of Kunyuan Country.
This is not intended to discriminate, but to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Xiaoyang, marry me!" A somewhat "strong" woman was pulling a handsome man to propose, "I promise to only marry you, my only male wife!"
The man blushed and said, "Let me go, let me go. I saw it all. You said the same thing to my neighbor last time."
The woman was stunned for a moment, but immediately explained: "He didn't agree to it! I think I still like you the most."
"Bah!" The handsome man's face turned even redder, but this time it was out of anger, "I knew you weren't good enough. I'm telling you, my family has already arranged a marriage for me. I'll marry my wife in a few days. I won't marry her this time. I'll marry her!"
After saying this, he broke free from the woman's hand and left the scene.
The woman saw that she had no chance and left in shame.
Seeing such a scene just after entering the city, Chen Yan and his companions were really hard to adapt.
"Aunt Ye, this place is so weird!" Chen Yan was even more confused. "The city is so prosperous, how can it be called a small border town? And men and women are doing this in the street!"
There is nothing wrong with this.
After all, the streets of this "small town" are spacious and clean, and the buildings on both sides are grand and elegant.
Many buildings in the city are magnificent, demonstrating the city's strength and prosperity.
The market they passed was bustling with activity, and there was a wide variety of goods on display.
People were walking around and the sound of bargaining could be heard everywhere.
Looking at their clothes, you can tell that this place is home to merchants and tourists from all over the world.
Everything in front of him could not be connected with the so-called "border town" that Chen Yan had imagined.
