"That's good!" Situ Jin nodded, also looking at the town.

The two of them were dressed in military uniforms and rode on horses, followed by a large group of people and horses, so many people walked into the town so charismatically, immediately attracted the attention of all the pedestrians on the road, but there was no fear in everyone's eyes, more just curiosity, since these people could enter the city safely, it means that they have been allowed by the officers and soldiers defending the city, so most people are guessing the purpose of this team to come to Tias.

Indeed, when he walked to the gate of the city just now, Situ Jin had already shown the identity documents of him and the [13th Battalion] to the city guards, originally thought that the other party would not easily let so many people into the city, but he didn't expect that after reading the documents, the city guards let himself and the [13th Battalion] come in without saying a word.

In fact, the city guards let [13 battalions] in so easily, not only because they got orders from their superiors, but also because the most important reason is that Tias is connected to the entire empire, which can be regarded as a safe rear, unless there are some special periods, otherwise the city gate is basically completely open.

Moreover, because Tias and the two countries of "Uta Country" and "Sena Country" have land borders, some caravans that have business dealings with these two countries often choose to take the road of Tias, so although the [13th Battalion] has hundreds of people, these people are really not many for the officers and soldiers who are used to seeing large caravans.

However, if a few hundred people wanted to enter the city through the front gate of Tias, it would not be so easy to enter the city.

"Where are you going now?" Gao Wen asked after glancing at Situ Jin.

"Of course, I'm going to see the lord of this city!" Situ Jin rode on his horse and looked around casually.

After the founding of the Yarrow Empire, in addition to the first few hundred years of the large-scale division of titles and rewards, the later the royal family became more and more intentional to control the division of land. In recent years, as the situation on the mainland has become more and more chaotic, the royal family has rarely rewarded territories in order to strengthen centralized power, and in recent generations, including Aldrich XXIV, the total number of territories awarded can be counted on ten fingers.

Not only that, even if it is a piece of land that is divided, the area is not too large, and the geographical location is average. For example, some lands in key positions, don't even think about it, the empire must be firmly in control.

However, even if these lands are not good, ordinary people do not have the opportunity to obtain them, and those who receive land rewards are either meritorious to the empire, or they are royal relatives and nobles. Most of the people who still have private territories in the empire are old families, and most of the new nobles get only titles.

Since the land was not divided, the empire needed to contribute to the management of a huge area of land, and the "city management system" was created instead.

The empire divided all the territory except for the partition into more than 80 cities, each of which had a city division and a city commander, which cooperated and restrained each other. The city secretary is in charge of the political, economic and military situation of the entire city, and can be said to have absolute control over the development of the entire city, while the responsibility of the city commander is mainly to assist the city secretary in managing the city defense army, and most of the time he must obey the command of the city director.

The direct superior of the city division is the "Five Cities Inspector", just listen to the name, the "Five Cities Inspector" is in charge of five adjacent cities, directly appointed by the emperor, and governs the five cities, and is responsible to the emperor, and the responsibility is very heavy.

However, at the moment, the Inspector of the Five Cities is still far away from Situ Jin, and in Tias City, the most powerful person is the City Secretary of Tias.

Hearing Situ Jin's words, Gao Wen nodded, but he was guessing in his heart what kind of person Tias's city secretary was, don't give everyone a dismount.

Walking along the milky white stone road, walking for about a quarter of an hour, a small red and white castle appeared in everyone's sight, saying that it was a castle, the architectural style in Situ Jin's opinion is more or less a bit of Dongfeng architectural style, the periphery of the small castle is surrounded by a layer of milky white low wall, if it were not for the two people in guard clothes standing at the door, this castle looks really unremarkable.

After Situ Jin followed Gao Wen to the gate of the castle, he grabbed the reins of the horse, raised his head, and found that there was a big stone standing at the gate of the castle, and the big stone was engraved with three big characters "City Division" with three dragons flying and phoenixes dancing.

"Looks like this is it!" Gawain jumped off his horse first, looking at the small castle road in front of him.

Situ Jin nodded, jumped from the horse to the ground, and just walked to the gate of the castle, a guard suddenly said to Situ Jin: "Excuse me, are you Young Master Situ?"

"En?" Hearing the other party's address to himself, Situ frowned for a moment, then glanced at Gao Wen, but saw that the latter was also looking at him with a surprised expression.

"Hey, it seems that this Lord Chengsi knows your identity very well!" Gao Wen approached Situ Jin and whispered in Situ Jin's ear.

Situ Jin tugged at the corners of his mouth, but he opened his mouth and said to the guard: "That's right, I am." ”

"Young Master Situ!" Situ Jin of the guard saluted slightly, and then said, "Our Lord Chengsi has been waiting for you inside for a long time, please come with me!"

Situ Jin's eyebrows twitched slightly, he didn't understand what the hell this city secretary was doing, but now it seemed that the other party was very clear about his whereabouts! I'm afraid that before he and his people entered the city, the other party had already figured out everything about him and the [13th Battalion]. From this point of view, this castle secretary is indeed not a simple person!

The guards took the lead and walked towards the castle first, Situ Jin and Gao Wen followed, and the rest of the [13th Battalion] naturally had to wait at the gate of the castle first.

Walking into the castle, passing through a small high portico, you can see an empty hall with plenty of light, the walls made of red bricks shining in the sunlight, a long square carpet of dark decors on the floor, a few long crystal chandeliers hanging above, and only a dark sandalwood table and a few stools to match the small table, although the decoration is simple, but very atmospheric.

Situ Jin raised his head and found a very thin middle-aged man sitting on a chair next to the small sandalwood table with a smile on his face.

As soon as he saw Situ Jin, the man immediately stood up, walked forward a few steps forward with a smile and said, "Your Excellency should be Young Master Situ, right?"
