Chapter 225 (1/2)



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.
