After entering the city, Richard saw that the roads of Cuijin City were very wide, with the main road being more than ten meters across, paved with even bluestone slabs. However, possibly due to the long construction time, most of the bluestone slabs were damaged, some places were covered in cracks, while others were potholed, filled with black sewage.
Pedestrians moved carefully among them, avoiding the difficult areas. Occasionally, horse riders galloped by, their hooves splashing the sewage around, causing pedestrians to curse and dodge.
The air was somewhat murky and the smell was unpleasant, but other than that, everything else was bearable.
