Chapter 29: The Depressed Market
"Brother Shen, it seems we won’t be able to drink today. Let me know where you’re staying, and I’ll come visit you another day for a good drink,” Yu Meng took his eyes off the view, patting Shen Luo on the shoulder.
"No need to hide it from you, Brother Yu. I just arrived in the city. As for where I’m staying…” Shen Luo deliberately gave a bitter smile, speaking vaguely.
"Oh? Brother Shen is not a local, yet he’s willing to risk his life defending the city. That’s some daring spirit, a true brother!” Yu Meng was taken aback by this and gave Shen Luo a thumbs-up.
The accompanying three men also looked at Shen Luo with friendlier eyes after hearing this.
"You are too kind, Brother Yu. I am only doing what I can for self-protection,” Shen Luo hurriedly waved his hand.
"Haha! There aren’t many men with character like Brother Shen in this world these days! If you don’t have somewhere to stay in the city, why not come with me to my house?” Yu Meng laughed heartily, then seemingly thought of something and asked.
"I indeed haven’t had a chance to find a place yet, so I will take advantage of your kindness, Brother Yu.” Shen Luo has been filled with curiosity, so he readily accepted the invitation.
"Bother about what? We’re brothers. No need to talk such formality. Let’s go!” Yu Meng raised his eyebrows, draped an arm over Shen Luo’s shoulders, and set off.
The group came to the corner tower of the city wall along the roadway. About to step down the city ladder, they saw several soldiers in uniforms, supporting a stout middle-aged man, struggling step-by-step up.
