What Lin Yi had imagined before was completely different from what he saw now, you could say they were worlds apart.
In his imagination, the city gate would surely lead to bustling streets.
It's often depicted in those TV dramas.
After entering the city walls, the road would be lined with various shops, and countless small stalls would be hawking their wares along the streets—this was his impression of ancient life, his impression of an ancient city.
Meanwhile, Leng Yu was momentarily stunned upon hearing his question, not understanding why Young Master Lin would ask such a thing—aren't all cities like this?
Pedestrians being in a hurry is perfectly normal, it's explicitly regulated by the court that no one should linger here without a reason.
After all, this is a critical location at the city gate; if people gather here, it would first affect the normal flow in and out of the city, and secondly, it could easily lead to danger.
