Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Nanning City

Bai Xifeng and Bai Tingfeng prepared to go to the nearby city. It is called Nanning City. From what people say, this city was famous for its honey.

They intended to ride the horse. At first, Bai Tingfeng thought to ride the carriage. His precious sister rejected the idea.

She told him that her butt hurt a lot when she rides in the carriage compared to riding the horse. His sister was very honest about that.

So, they rode the horse to go to the Nanning City. As the city is near the border, there are some people from the Liuyin Empire, so, the siblings were able to blend into the crowd without attracting others.

Bai Xifeng pulled Bai Tingfeng into the first restaurant that they could find. The restaurant is lively.

"Welcome. Which one do you prefer? Hall or private room?" The waiter welcomed them and asked the question.

Bai Tingfeng wanted to tell the waiter that they wanted a private room. However, Bai Xifeng stated the opposite.

"Just hall, please." Bai Xifeng smiled.

"Sure. Follow me. I will lead you to your table." The waiter said.

Bai Tingfeng leaned over and whispered in Bai Xifeng’s ear.

"Why don’t we choose the private room? It is more comfortable." Bai Tingfeng said.

"Big brother, here we can hear a lot of information." Bai Xifeng smiled.

Bai Tingfeng’s mind began to think. ’Yeah, what Xixi said is right.’ He followed his sister and sat at the table shown by the waiter.

"So, what can I get for you?" The waiter asked.

"What is the famous dish here? Can you recommend it to us?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Oh, our restaurant is famous for Honey BBQ Chicken Wings. If you want something sweet, I recommend you try our Darsaan. As for the drink, you can try our honey ginger tea." The waiter recommended the dish.

"I will take them all, Honey BBQ Chicken Wings, Darsaan and honey ginger tea for two people." Bai Xifeng ordered the food.

"Okay... Please wait for a moment." The waiter said.

"This city is famous for its honey. No wonder, the food here has honey in it." Bai Tingfeng said.

"So, they must have a field of flowers to produce a lot of honey." Bai Xifeng commented.

"Probably." Bai Tingfeng said.

Then, they heard some discussion at the table next to their table.

"I think we have been abandoned by the emperor." A man said.

"What? What are you talking, man?"

"Listen, listen. I heard that we are under the Liuyin Empire already. The Yue Kingdom already abandoned us."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. You know my brother, right? The one who worked with the magistrate’s office?"

"Oh, I know him."

"Well, he was fired yesterday. He asked for the reason. He was told by someone that this city is no longer under the Yue Kingdom but Liuyin Empire."

"Really?"

"Don’t you see? The magistrate already moved out and left the city with his family."

"But why didn’t we hear anything about that? Like the Liuyin Empire invasion?"

"My friend from the military told me that our general signed the agreement to hand over the fortress and this city to the Liuyin Empire."

"What? Why though?"

"Because the emperor wants to save his nephew who had been caught by the Liuyin Empire."

"What? Don’t tell me that nephew is from that Gao Family?"

"Yes. That one."

"The emperor really does anything for his beloved consort."

"Hmm... Everyone knows about that."

"But why the Liuyin Empire caught that man?"

"My friend told me that he refused to listen to General Zhang and went to attack the Liuyin Empire. But even with a lot of soldiers, he lost the battle and had been caught by the Liuyin Empire."

"I know that he is stupid, but I never expected that he is this stupid."

"Yeah... But well, we did not have much affection with the Yue Kingdom. We did not care about that. Our city can operate perfectly fine."

Bai’s Siblings listened to the conversation. From what they found out, the citizens of this city did not care much about being under the Yue Kingdom or Liuyin Empire. They could survive either way.

"Sorry for the waiting. Here is your order. Please enjoy." The waiter served them the food and drink.

Seeing the food in front of her, Bai Xifeng did not wait any longer and dug in. The chicken wings were so tender. It tasted sweet and tangy.

"Big brother, you should eat it." Bai Xifeng said.

Bai Tingfeng took one and ate it. It did taste delicious. The two siblings ignored everything and started eating. They finished everything.

"It is good." Bai Xifeng rubbed her stomach.

Bai Tingfeng chuckled. His precious sister is very easy to please. Just need to serve her delicious food.

After that, Bai’s Siblings went to make the payment. Before they left, they asked something to the waiter.

"Does this city have any herb shops?" Bai Xifeng asked.

That was their aim, after all. The waiter was thinking for a moment.

"Yes, I think we have three of them. Shanghai Pavilion, Kungmin’s Herbs and Wuxi Shop. A lot of people prefer the Shanghai Pavilion." The waiter stated.

"Shanghai Pavilion is here too?" Bai Xifeng was surprised to hear the name here.

"Of course, Shanghai Pavilion has lot of branches everywhere. The service, product and price are very good. That is why lot of people prefer to shop there." The waiter nodded.
