Several people sat in the lobby and discussed in low voices while watching the passers-by.

Zhao Jun is no stranger to Shu embroidery.

Shu embroidery has lasted for thousands of years throughout its history and even in modern times.

It is listed as one of the four most precious embroidery styles due to its complex embroidery techniques and unique fabrics.

In modern times, it is also famous throughout the country and is not something that ordinary families can afford.

What is unexpected is that Shu embroidery already existed during the Qin Dynasty.

Historically, Shu embroidery was first recorded to have become famous throughout the world during the Han and Tang dynasties.

"Shu embroidery? I've actually heard of this."

Xiao He, who was sitting opposite, suddenly spoke, and Zhao Jun was attracted by him.

"That's something I heard about back when I was in Chu. A prominent family held a banquet, and I was fortunate enough to attend along with a friend. The women in that family wore a set of Shu-embroidered clothes, which were said to be quite expensive."

"Which one? How come I don't know?"

Liu Bang interrupted and was glared back by the two men.

"It's not just a matter of price. We were briefly shown the exquisite embroidery, the softness of the fabric, and even the vibrant and varied colors. It's completely different from those single-colored clothes."

"I remember there was a playboy at the banquet who privately mentioned that woman. He said it was like a colorful phoenix that had fallen into a pile of hens."

Xiao He felt quite embarrassed when he said this.

"Really? If that's the case, then the dress must be very beautiful, like a phoenix."

Liu Bang's tone was excited and a little regretful. How could he not see such a beautiful thing?

"Okay, now that we're in Shu County, why worry about not having the chance to see Shu embroidery?"

The King of Zhao glanced at Liu Bang unhappily.

"However, the situation in Shu County is indeed quite complicated. Logically speaking, the roads in Shu County should be difficult to travel, but the location of this prefecture is very convenient. I wonder if it's because the county seat under it is too remote."

"After dinner, let's go visit the local county magistrate and get a better understanding of the situation."

After discussing for a while, they finally decided that it would be most convenient to ask the county magistrate.

Just then, the Shujun signature dish they had just ordered was served.

When Xiao He saw the dish, he suddenly felt dizzy.

That's why Shu County cuisine uses more chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns than Ba ​​County cuisine.

Don’t so many peppercorns cost money?

The King of Zhao and Liu Bang accepted it well.

"My dear guests, your signature dishes are here. This is our Shu County's famous fried rabbit with chili peppers. It tastes delicious."

The waiter introduced it enthusiastically.

"Is there no non-spicy dish?"

Xiao He couldn't help asking.

"Yes, our restaurant specially made non-spicy dishes to cater to foreign customers. This is it, stir-fried mushrooms, it's not spicy at all."

The waiter served the dishes enthusiastically and quickly ran to other tables to serve.

Zhao Jun suppressed his laughter and secretly glanced at Xiao He, who had a gloomy face. He felt quite happy in his heart.

The King of Zhao and Liu Bang enjoyed the meal very much, especially the roasted rabbit meat, which was very spicy and tasted very good.

Poor Xiao He basically only touched the mushroom.

"Okay, now that we've had enough to eat and drink, it's time to go and greet our county governor."

A few people went out and paraded through the city with the captains and soldiers until they arrived at the gate of the Shu County Governor's Mansion.

The county magistrate's mansion here looks much more luxurious. There are several guards standing outside the gate, and the plaque on the gate is particularly eye-catching.

So many of them marched to the gate of the county magistrate's mansion, immediately attracting the attention of the soldiers guarding the gate.

"Who are you?"

Two soldiers came over with weapons and asked.

Just when Zhao Jun was about to ask Xiao He to report, this person came.

"This is Lord Zhao, one of the Nine Ministers. We are here on an inspection tour from Xianyang. Please inform your prefect."

Xiao He stood in front and answered proactively.

The two soldiers glanced at Zhao Jun behind them with some doubt in their eyes, but they still went back to report dutifully.

A moment later, a person quickly ran out.

As soon as he saw Zhao Jun, the man's face was obviously filled with joy.

At the same time, Zhao Jun was also very surprised when he saw him.

How could he be the prefect of Shu County?

"Your humble servant, Lu Jing, the governor of Shu County, pays his respects to Lord Zhao. Lord Zhao, it has been a long time since we last met."

Lu Jing smiled and bowed to Zhao Jun, as if he was meeting an old friend.

"Lu Jing, it's you!"

Zhao Jun was also extremely surprised and astonished. She didn't expect to see a former county magistrate of Hanzhong County here.

And now this young county magistrate has been promoted to county governor.

Xiao He and Liu Bang standing beside them looked confused.

Yes, when Zhao Jun was active in Hanzhong County, the two of them were not there, so naturally they didn't know Lu Jing.

"I never expected to meet you here again, sir. What a coincidence."

"Sir, please go to the palace first and we will discuss the details."

Lu Jing respectfully led his men into the county magistrate's mansion.

Xiao He and the others followed behind Zhao Jun, listening to the greetings between the two people in front.

"Master Zhao, why don't you see Miss Qingliu? Isn't she with you now?"

Lu Jing didn't see the girl who had been following Zhao Jun, so he asked with some confusion.

"She doesn't follow me all the time now. She manages the workshop independently in the North."

When mentioning Qingliu, she replied with some melancholy.

"I see. Miss Qingliu is so capable that she can definitely act alone."
