"'Auntie', the size of this mask suits you perfectly." Drew held a wooden cat-faced mask that could only cover half of his face and gestured at Ma Xiaoxiao's face.

"Really?" Taking the mask from Drew's hand, Ma Xiaoxiao put it on his face and asked.

"Uh-huh...... 'Auntie', how about you think I bring this?" When Drew asked this again, he had already put a lion mask on his face, which was also half-covered.

"Very good." Ma Xiaoxiao replied.

"Alright, boss, we're going to have these two masks." Drew said as he handed the coin to the mask vendor.

"Look, there's a tavern over there, let's go there and get some food." After Drew said this, he took Ma Xiaoxiao's hand and led her into a tavern on the side of the road.

Entering the tavern, Drew ordered a few side dishes for Ma Xiaoxiao and himself, and then Drew asked for a pot of wine for himself and Ma Xiaoxiao.

"Tomorrow you and your father will enter the royal city, and it's not good to drink tonight." Ma Xiaoxiao pointed to the flask and said to Drew, who was obviously eager to try.

"It's okay, I'm just drinking a little less. I haven't tasted this thing before, have I? Now that I'm an adult, of course I have to try it, or people will laugh at me if they ask me and know that I haven't tried it yet. Rubbing his hands together, Drew carefully poured himself a glass of wine and said.

After pouring the wine for himself, Drew thought about it and poured another glass for Ma Xiaoxiao.

"'Auntie', have you ever drunk alcohol before?" Drew asked.

"Nope." In this world, Ma Xiaoxiao has indeed never tasted such a thing as wine.

"That's right, let's just taste it together today." After Drew said this, he handed the wine glass in his hand to Ma Xiaoxiao.

"Okay, just one cup, don't forget that you have important things to do tomorrow." Taking the wine glass, Ma Xiaoxiao said to Drew.

After exchanging wine glasses with Drew, Ma Xiaoxiao took a sip of the wine in the glass with a hint of curiosity.

After smashing his mouth twice, Ma Xiaoxiao found that the wine sold in this tavern was still good in terms of taste, because the spicy taste in the wine was not heavy, and the sweet taste made Ma Xiaoxiao guess that this wine should be regarded as a kind of fruit wine.

"Huh...... Why is this wine fruit-flavored, it doesn't look like wine at all, is it that the boss made a mistake and sent us the juice by mistake. Drew said as he drained his glass.

"If you drink it so much, of course you can't taste it, but if you taste it carefully, you can drink it and it's not the same as ordinary juice." Ma Xiaoxiao took a sip of the wine in the glass again and said.

"That's right...... Then I'll try again. After Drew said this, he poured himself another glass, and took a sip like Ma Xiaoxiao.

"Well, this time you can taste that it's really wine, right?"

"Take a closer look, it's really like this." Drew took another sip and said.

"After drinking this cup, let's eat quickly, and after a few days of nothing, find a time, I will accompany you to drink, and you can know what the wine tastes like today." After Ma Xiaoxiao said this, he cut off a small piece of meat from the large piece of meat on the plate in front of him and handed it to Drew.

"Oh...... Well, I listen to you. Drew took the meat and replied.

Ma Xiaoxiao and Drew were halfway through their meal when suddenly there was a commotion outside the tavern.

After stopping the action of eating with Drew, Ma Xiaoxiao turned his head, looked out the window and listened carefully.

"What are the people outside shouting......" Drew said as he walked over to the window and stuck his head out of the window.

"'Aunt', 'Aunt' I heard clearly, the people outside shouted King Guge, ah...... Let's go, let's go out and have a look. Drew retracted his head, grabbed Ma Xiaoxiao and galloped out of the tavern, and at this time, everyone inside the tavern had the same action as them.

When Drew led Ma Xiaoxiao out of the tavern, the entire noisy street was surrounded by people, and the only road that was vacant was the one that led to the royal city.

In the crowded crowd, the tall and strong Drew is still very dominant, so under the protection of Drew, Ma Xiaoxiao was quickly squeezed into the center of the crowd by Drew.

Drew, who squeezed into the center of the crowd, was not satisfied, because his goal was directly in front of the crowd, so he did not stop his movements at this time, but used one hand to protect Ma Xiaoxiao, and at the same time used the other hand to forcefully separate the crowd in front.

Just when Drew was squeezing extremely hard, with the neat clatter of horses' hooves in the distance, the noisy crowd suddenly stopped, and at this time, the crowd suddenly fell from far and near like an undulating wave, all of them clenched their right hands into fists against their chests and half-knelt down.

Drew, who was squeezing quite hard, saw that all the people in front and behind were half-kneeling, and at this time, he couldn't do anything more, so he also followed closely and took Ma Xiaoxiao half-kneeling.

Ma Xiaoxiao, whose vision finally became widened because the people in front of him suddenly knelt down, was dragged by Drew and drowned in the crowd again before he could stretch his neck and see the scene in the distance.

Everyone, not long after they knelt down in unison, a group of men and horses lined up in a neat line from the direction outside the city, and rushed into the city.

When Ma Xiaoxiao, who stretched his neck, in his field of vision, those black dots that could only be regarded as a rapidly moving black spot because of the distance were finally slowly getting bigger, and the crowd of people who were half-kneeling on the ground suddenly raised their left arms from far to near like the waves, and shouted together.

This is the slogan that everyone keeps shouting, "King, King, King......".

The raised arms of the crowd in front of her really made the vision of Ma Xiaoxiao, who had been submerged in the crowd, more unclear, so when the neat queue of tall horses passed by her, she only felt a bright color flash in front of her eyes, and after that, she could only see a piece of dust that had been brought up after the queue left......

It wasn't until the sound of the horse's hooves became almost inaudible due to the distance that the crowd, who had fallen into a certain state of frenzy, slowly calmed down and returned to normal.

Standing up, Ma Xiaoxiao patted his knees, and when he turned around, he found that Drew still hadn't changed his previous kneeling posture, still kneeling there stupidly, and looked at the direction where the queue left, that is, the direction of Wangcheng, with an extremely yearning expression.

"Hey...... Wake up...... The people are gone. Stretching out a hand, Ma Xiaoxiao shook back and forth in front of Drew's eyes.
