Zu An nodded. He vaguely remembered that Chu Chuyan had mentioned that Wu County was adjacent to Linchuan County, and its capital was Jibei City. Because there was a Jishan mountain range in Wu County, and the city was located north of the mountain range, it was called Jibei City. "By the way, what is the reputation of this King of Wu like? What kind of personality does he have?"
When you're going to someone else's territory, you naturally need to do your intelligence work in advance so you can react to whatever happens.
Zheng Dan shook his head slightly: "King Wu usually keeps a low profile and has no bad reputation. At the same time, no one praises his wisdom, so I don't know much about him."
Huang Huihong outside looked somewhat surprised. Zu An had humiliated Miss Zheng so much, yet Miss Zheng still answered his questions so patiently. This woman really had a good temperament.
Inside the carriage, Zu'an's expression was playful. So he was a coward too. Such a guy was either truly indifferent to worldly affairs or had grand ambitions. He wondered which one it was.
“By the way, the most famous thing King Wu has done over the years is that he married a woman from a small family,” Zheng Dan recalled some things he had heard a few years ago. “You know, high-ranking princes like them usually form alliances with powerful families through marriage to consolidate their position, so his behavior is quite surprising.”
"But later, after someone saw the Princess Consort of Wu, all the doubts were resolved, because it was said that the Princess Consort of Wu had a beauty that could topple kingdoms, so it was understandable that the King of Wu made such a choice." Zheng Dan couldn't help but snort, "You men just love to judge people by their appearance."
Zuan immediately laughed: "You're making it sound like you women don't like looking at handsome men. The women in my hometown are way more crazy about chasing after handsome men than men are about chasing after female celebrities."
Zheng Dan was startled: "The customs in your hometown are a bit too... a bit too... you know."
Having received a traditional demure upbringing, she couldn't imagine such behavior, but she also felt a bit envious of those women who weren't bound by social norms.
Led by Sun Buqi, the group slowly entered Jibei City. Zu An quietly lifted the carriage curtain and looked around: "It doesn't seem as prosperous as Mingyue City."
"That's for sure. Mingyue City has the advantage of salt and iron trade, attracting wealthy merchants from all over the country, so it's naturally more prosperous than other places." Zheng Dan's tone was somewhat proud; it seems everyone has a sense of hometown sentiment.
The streets were lined with the people of Jibei City, who were clearly very interested in the Imperial Guards of the capital and had come to see what was going on.
Zuan was taken aback when he suddenly spotted a familiar figure in the crowd. However, the person was dressed differently than usual and was blending into the crowd.
Just then, a streak of dark light suddenly shot out from the crowd.
