Chapter 204 Arrival at Nanzhou City



Lu Zifeng jumped down from the tree and said with a smile.

"About this matter! We don't have any evidence yet, and we can't explain it clearly. I think we'll get the answer once we get to southern Xinjiang."

"Lu Chun, tell everyone to clean up this place and cover up the bloodstains to avoid attracting wild animals."

At the hour of Mao, the sky was slightly bright. After breakfast, everyone, led by Ye the Hunter, began to climb the last mountain.

At the beginning, everyone was walking outside along the mountain road extending from the small lake. After walking for about half an hour, everyone began to climb the mountain. According to Ye Hunter, he had walked this road many times. In the past few years, many small itinerant merchants chose to take this road to save time. Because they were all itinerant merchants, not large caravans, they walked in the mountains, and every time they asked Ye Hunter to lead the way. Ye Hunter made a lot of money from this.

Just as Ye the Hunter said, they crossed the mountain smoothly and arrived at the foot of the mountain in the afternoon.

Looking at the small mountain village not far away, everyone felt relieved. Although they encountered some ferocious beasts during their days of walking in the mountains, they were all killed because of the large number of people. Now that they have finally walked out of the mountains, everyone feels that it is better to be outside the mountains.

Hunter Ye looked at everyone and said with a smile.

"Three of you, now that we've reached this point, we've left Blue Mountain. My mission is complete."

Lu Zifeng knew that although the other party was saying goodbye, he was also collecting money for guiding the way, so he winked at Lu Chun.

Lu Chun nodded and took out a silver ingot from his arms. It looked like there were about ten taels of silver, which was already a lot.

When Ye the Hunter saw the silver that Lu Chun handed over, although he was happy in his heart, his face was very calm.

"Okay, the work is done, so I'll go back now. Goodbye, see you later."

Lu Zifeng hurriedly stopped Ye Liehu.

"Uncle Ye, this Blue Mountain is very dangerous. If you go back alone, you might be in danger. Otherwise, you can follow us first, and we can go back together later!"

Hunter Ye looked at Lu Zifeng and said.

"Sorry to bother you. I still need to follow you guys. Sorry to bother you."

Situ Chen didn't know what Lu Zifeng was up to, but he knew that he couldn't interrupt at this time, so as not to ruin Lu Zifeng's plans.

Xiao Changhe basically didn't care about what happened on the road and followed all decisions, which made Lu Zifeng look up to him very much.

Everyone mounted their horses and headed towards the nearby city. According to the city that Ye Liehu mentioned, it should be the city where Chang Lin and others were waiting for them, because Ye Liehu said that this city was the last city of Dayu Dynasty and Southern Xinjiang.

Going further south, you will enter the southern Xinjiang territory, which originally belonged to the Dayu Dynasty. However, in order to stabilize southern Xinjiang and other places, the imperial court generally let the local ethnic minority chieftains manage the various mountain tribes. The imperial court only had some troops here to maintain its rule.

After riding for an hour, they finally saw a city not far away. Hunter Ye pointed at the city and said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, that is the largest city of our Dayu Dynasty in Southern Xinjiang. It is also the city closest to Southern Xinjiang. Nanzhou City means the last provincial capital in the south."

Lu Zifeng and others looked over, but the distance was still a bit far and they couldn't see clearly. However, the gray city wall looked no less tall and thick than the city wall in the north.

Everyone rode their horses to the city gate. Seeing the people wearing strange clothes, Situ Chen and several guards opened their eyes wide.

Lu Zifeng didn't feel anything about these things. What he saw in his previous life was even more excessive than these.

Looking at those women in revealing clothes and those men showing off their muscular bodies, Lu Zifeng said.

"These women are pretty good-looking, but their skin is really not very flattering."

Xiao Changhe laughed.

"Mr. Lu, I heard that your Lu family has a family rule that prohibits taking concubines. You should know that Princess Yuyang just gave birth to a son for you."

Lu Zifeng's mouth twitched, and then he said.

"Uncle Xiao has said too much. This young master has never thought of taking a concubine. You should know that concubines are the root of family chaos. This young master will not take a concubine. Today, this young master is just commenting, not thinking about taking a concubine."

"Uncle Xiao, you'd better be careful. You know, you're here to replace my uncle. He left and returned to Beijing, so you'll have to stay here permanently. Do you want me to go back and tell my aunt that Uncle Xiao is bewitched by the women of Southern Xinjiang?"

Situ Chen was walking in front with his horse. When he heard what Lu Zifeng and Xiao Changhe said behind him, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ye Hunter also said with a smile on his face.

"Ah, let me tell you, it's best not to mess with this woman from Southern Xinjiang."

When Ye Liehu spoke, his voice was very low, and if you didn't listen carefully, you really couldn't hear it. However, everyone was a martial artist, so their hearing was naturally good, and they all heard it. So they stopped talking and followed Ye Liehu into an inn.

Hunter Ye seemed to be familiar with the man, and he easily helped everyone rent a small courtyard in the backyard of the inn.

After the waiter of the inn left, Ye Liehu said this.

"Everyone, now that we've arrived in Southern Xinjiang, we must be careful with our words. Don't provoke Southern Xinjiang women easily. Also, don't try to provoke local men, and don't comment on their clothing lightly."

Lu Zifeng and others naturally knew why Ye Liehu said so. This place is located in the south. According to Lu Zifeng's guess, this place should be similar to Yunnan and other places in the previous life.

After dinner, no one went out for a stroll. Situ Chen was not in the mood to go out, Lu Zifeng was not interested, and Xiao Changhe was too old to have much passion. Besides, they were already physically and mentally exhausted after such a long journey, so it would be better for them to rest quickly.

The next morning, the group set out again and headed south. King Jing's army was in a valley fifty miles south of Nanzhou City.

The group spent half an hour rushing along the way and finally saw the outline of the military camp.

The group stopped not far from the camp gate, and Situ Chen sent someone to the camp gate.

In just a quarter of an hour, the man returned, and behind him was a group of people, all riding horses, who came to Lu Zifeng and others.

A middle-aged man in his thirties walked out from the middle. He was wearing armor and holding a long sword. He looked majestic, with a full beard and looked very ferocious.

"Which one of you is the Prince of Jing?"

Situ Chen was about to step forward to speak, but Lu Zifeng reached out and held him back, and instead stepped forward himself.

"I am Situ Chen, the Crown Prince of King Jing. May I know who this general is?"
