Chapter 225
225 This is the mansion (1)
After passing through two states and three counties, the Imperial inspector’s team finally arrived at the main city of cloud state-White Emperor City.
The origin of White Emperor City’s name came from a historical story from the previous dynasty. About 1300 years ago, Yunzhou suffered from a great drought, and thousands of miles of land were barren.
The people had no harvest, and they had no way of living.
This year, a strange beast came from the ocean. It had the body of a deer, covered with snow-white scales, a pair of horns on its head, a snake tail, and a snake tail.
Wherever it passed, dark clouds would gather and heavy rain would fall. This beast had been in Yunzhou for more than a month, filling the reservoirs in Yunzhou, moistening the dry rivers and lakes, and solving the drought in Yunzhou.
The Imperial court regarded it as an auspicious beast and gave it the title of white Emperor.
Xu Qi ‘an looked at the towering outline of White Emperor City and asked with a smile, “”Is this legend true or false?”
Raising the curtain and looking at the distant White Emperor City, Governor Zhang, who had spoken of this story, nodded.
“It should be true. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been recorded in the history books. Great droughts and floods were common, and historians would not fabricate history for this. However, no one has seen the auspicious beast white Emperor since then.”
It was obviously a demonic beast from the ocean, or even a sea beast. Maybe it came to Jiuzhou just for a vacation. Seeing the drought in Yunzhou, it was not happy, so it changed the environment … Xu Qi ‘an was analyzing the situation from a’ scientific point of view ‘while saying, ”
“Your Excellency is wise,”
After that, he continued to look at the city wall and a poem appeared in his heart:In the colorful clouds of the White Emperor, a thousand li of Jiangling returned in a day. The monkeys on both banks cried incessantly, and the light boat had already crossed ten thousand mountains.
“A thousand miles of River tomb returned in a day … It’s too f * cking extravagant. If it were me, I would only be willing to return it today, tomorrow, or the 31st day of the first month.” Xu Qian said.
He couldn’t help but think of a travel advertisement he had seen before, encouraging high-class white-collar workers to fly to Thailand after work on Friday. They would have a carefree day and return on Sunday.
Everyone was the modern li Taibai.
The guards of White Emperor City stopped the crowd, and after reading the documents issued by the Imperial court, they respectfully let them through.
After entering the city, Xu Qi ‘an looked left and right. In the bustling crowd, he saw many passers-by with sabers and swords hanging in their hands.
Great Feng had very strict control over weapons. From the state capitals to the counties, no one was allowed to walk around with a saber in the city. Unless it was a special profession, such as an escort.
However, even bodyguards were only equipped with weapons when they were out on a mission.
“Is this a specialty of Yunzhou?” Xu Qian muttered in his heart.
At this moment, provincial governor Zhang lifted the curtain and said to Xu Qi ‘an, “”Ningyan, have someone send these traveling merchants home, but don’t return the goods yet. Let the traveling merchants get the account books and come to the relay station tomorrow to verify and retrieve the goods.”
what about Zhao Long’s goods? ” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
“Of course we’re sending them back. Both Zhao long and the bodyguard were killed. The family of the bodyguard must be compensating them.” Now that Zhao long is dead, sending the goods back can be considered as making up for their losses.”
“You’re a good eel,” Xu Qi ‘an gave him a thumbs up.
“Why do you say that?” Governor Zhang frowned.
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing,” Xu Qi ‘an turned to look for song tingfeng and told him about the matter.
“Why should I be the one running errands?” Song tingfeng was unconvinced. as if I’m your subordinate. We’re of the same rank.
Xu Qi ‘an turned his head and shouted,”Governor, song tingfeng refused to acknowledge his responsibility. I will deduct his money.”
“I’ll go, I’ll go,” song tingfeng quickly said.
He turned around to look for Zhu guangxiao, told him about the matter, and instructed him to do it.
“Didn’t Ning Yan ask you to do it?” Zhu guangxiao said gloomily.
“At Xu ningyan’s banquet, Zhu guangxiao refused and acted shamelessly,” song tingfeng said.
“….”Zhu guangxiao turned his horse around without a word and called a few Tiger guards to go do something.
The two b * tches got together and sighed, ”
“Guang Xiao is really an honest man who works hard.”
“Yes, yes, whether it’s in bed or on official business.”
…..
The commander’s office.
Yang Chuannan was in his early forties this year. He was a mild-mannered scholar. He also had another identity, a rank-5 martial artist.
Yang Chuannan was born in a family of military generals. He was talented and liked to practice martial arts and even read books. He had entered the ranks of scholars in 2012. Due to his family’s heritage, he was familiar with military books and found a job in the Ministry of War.
In 2016, yuan jing was appointed to Yunzhou. He was promoted to the position of Commander-in-Chief step by step because of his Meritorious Service in suppressing bandits. He had become one of the three most powerful people in Yunzhou.
Yang Chuannan, who was handling official Affairs, suddenly raised his head. A few seconds later, footsteps were heard. A woman in light armor strode over, and no official stopped her along the way.
She was tall, with a sword at her waist and a silver spear on her back. She had a sharp, oval face. Her facial features were clearly exquisite and beautiful, but she didn’t look weak like a woman. Instead, she looked heroic.
In addition, she had a high ponytail, revealing her bright and beautiful forehead.
“The governor has entered the city.” The first thing she said when she entered the room was straight to the core of the problem.
Yang Chuannan’s expression froze for a moment before he nodded slightly. I understand.
the cursed Emperor Yuan jing is cultivating all day long. The Emperor of the human world still wants to live forever. It’s simply wishful thinking. The moment she opened her mouth, a flower appeared.
“Miaozhen!” Yang Chuannan frowned.
Li Miaozhen sneered, ” I don’t eat royal food.
She leaned her silver spear against the wall and sat cross-legged on the coffee table in the guest’s seat. She took off her sword and placed it across her knees.
“If the governor is here, you have to hand over your military power. This is the rule of the great Feng. What do you plan to do?”
“Since it’s a rule, we can only follow it.” Yang Chuannan said.
“I will help you,” li Miaozhen nodded.
