396 Gu Yue Kingdom (1/2)

When the ship finally arrived on the shore, Nanglong Soujin could see the massive harbor there. Many people were walking around, and many of them worked to move things here and there. This wasn't the first time he saw a port, but this was the first time he saw one this big.

Tang Xuan walked out from his room and saw the other party staring at the port. ”Don't be surprised, this is just how the Gu Yue Kingdom thrives.”

Nanglong Soujin looked towards the other party with arched brows.

”The north and west are all rivers like the sea,” Tang Xuan explained, ”and the east is this big river. Many other countries often come and trade with us. That's how we could continue to thrive all these years and gain a lot of new things.”

The difference in culture between the two sides was rather big. Now Nanglong Soujin finally understood just how such thing could happen. His eyes stared at the big port in front of him then turned back to the noble.

”With such a big kingdom and income, I don't think you only come to the Long Kingdom with the purpose of trade,” Nanglong Soujin remarked suddenly.

Tang Xuan stiffened for a split second before smiling again, ”What are you talking about, Prince Soujin? Let's get down.”

Soujin looked at the other party for a moment before walked to Lin Hong's room. He knocked on the door, and the other party quickly opened it.

”Yes, Your Highness?”

”We have arrived. Follow after me,” Nanglong Soujin answered simply.

Lin Hong complied and followed after the other party. The people were all making way for them and they cheered up when they see Xiao Meng. With a glance, it was clear that she was quite famous in this place and the people liked her.

”I don't think I would get used to this place,” Lin Hong muttered to himself.

”You have to get used to it,” Nanglong Soujin remarked, ”You will stay here for a long time.”

Lin Hong blanked at Nanglong Soujin's remark. Does it mean they won't return to the Long Kingdom for a long time? He didn't want to stay here for that long. Oh wait, they indeed cannot return without a ship and that fast current would be dangerous for a ship to sail.

From the information he got, it should be around one year? Hopefully, it wouldn't last that long.

”Let's go,” Tang Xuan instructed.

Steward Du quickly prepared carriages for them. They were all got into separated carriages that brought them to the nearest city.

Soujin watched the people outside the carriage. There were many things that were different from Long Kingdom, but many of them were still the same. He moved away his gaze as his lips curled up. It will be really interesting to stay here.

”Prince Soujin, we have arrived.”

Lin Hong got out from the carriage and he almost stunned silly in his place. The place where they have arrived was a truly big place, just like a palace in the Long Kingdom. Could it be there were many palaces in Gu Yue Kingdom?

Xiao Meng seemed to notice the other party thought as she chuckled, ”This was once the palace of a small kingdom here. Since we have unified the entire land, this place became the governor place. Many of them are still empty, so it's suitable for all of us to stay here.”

”I see,” Soujin answered and walked inside.

He didn't even know anything about this place and yet he dared to get inside first? Xiao Meng was bewildered at Soujin's action. It seemed the other party already treated this place as his second home although he had only arrived not long ago.

Lin Hong looked around the place before looked back to Tang Xuan, ”How long do we have to stay here?”
