The gate of the city guard mansion in Hanbei City is much smaller than Hua Mian imagined, and originally thought that such a vast city, as the mansion where the highest official in the city lived, might not be what kind of magnificent scene it would be, but when the convoy arrived at the gate of the mansion, before they heard what the officials complained, the palace maids on the side all muttered quietly.

"What kind of castle guard is this, it's so small, it doesn't look half the size of the inn I lived in before."

"Doesn't it mean that Hanbei City is an important commercial and trade town? This is the kind of place where the castle guard lives? ”

"I'm afraid this mansion can't even fit our carriage, let alone accommodate so many people."

"I'm afraid I'm going to sleep in a carriage again tonight, so I'm looking forward to sleeping in bed so much."

Hua Mian's carriage was in the middle and rear of the entire convoy, and when Hua Mian and a few people jumped out of the carriage, the people in front were already resting in place, and only then did Hua Mian seriously look at the area where the convoy was parked.

It looks like a small plaza or parking lot, judging by the surrounding buildings, it should belong to a public area in the city, and if it wasn't for someone to remind you, Huamian wouldn't have associated the buildings not far away with the castle guard's mansion anyway.

This so-called city guard mansion, not to mention compared with the Sikong Mansion also called 'mansion', is even much smaller than the Yinyang Post House where I just lived two days ago.

The exterior wall of the castle guard mansion is gray and white, maybe there are some peeling conditions in some places, from a distance, a piece of white and a piece of gray looks like some flowers as a whole, the door of the mansion is not very large, Mo Yue is just for three people to go together, and the width of any corridor in the palace is wider than this gate.

"It's... This city keeper is really a thrifty and simple person...", Hua Mian was short of words for a while, and he didn't know how to describe it, no! Isn't this the trading center of the frontier? Why are the city guards so poor?

However, these things are not something that can be evaluated by Huamian's status, even if there are many slots that want to vomit, they have to obey the internal arrangements of the mission.

In the end, for the sake of safety, it was decided that His Royal Highness Eleventh and several old ministers would live in the City Guard Mansion, Sikong Yue and Sikong Xiao sisters and brothers would naturally stay, and all the men and horses of the Xuanjia Army would be stationed around the City Guard Mansion, while the rest of the remaining people in the mission would all move to two inns not far from the City Guard Mansion to rest.

After everyone had settled down, Hua Mian was about to start preparing for His Highness Eleven's lunch, when he walked into the kitchen and was stopped.

"A few adults...", the person who blocked them opened his mouth first.

Several? Hua Mian looked left and right, and sure enough, not only herself, but also several chefs in the imperial dining room were also stopped outside the kitchen.

Looking at the person who stopped them, it was a tall, dark-skinned middle-aged man, who looked a bit like the head of a big man's house, but the white apron tied around his body reminded Hua Mian that this person was also a chef.

Seeing that Hua Mian and a few people stopped, the other party was polite, and saluted in a proper manner, and said: "I have seen a few adults, and I am the kitchen supervisor of the castle guard mansion, and the city lord has instructed that the chef in charge of the mansion is fully responsible for the reception banquet held for His Royal Highness."

Listening to his words, Hua Mian and several chefs of the imperial dining room looked at each other, and the chef of the imperial dining room did not refuse to who would do this, and agreed after a few words.

Hua Mian's side had the exact opposite effect, and she immediately argued with the chef of the castle guard's mansion.
