Chapter 151 Yizhou Prefecture
"Lu Lang, please go quickly and return quickly. Qingyan is waiting for you at home." Liu Qingyan’s eyes were full of anticipation.
In ancient times, Lu Zheng smiled knowingly, waved at Liu Qingyan at the doorway, sorted out the prepared items, mounted his horse, and rode out of the city.
On both sides of the horse, one side hung an iron cage draped with burlap, inside was curled the corpse of a wild dog with white frost on its body, the other side carried two bundles, one square and containing a wooden box, the other elongated, appearing rigid.
Because this time he was heading to the Yizhou Anomaly Suppression Bureau, and the journey was long with many items to carry, Lu Zheng rented a horse to bear the load for the journey.
He did not follow the usual practice of leaving the items at home and traveling alone, retrieving them upon arrival, because the Southern Border Wizard’s corpse needed to be handed over to the Anomaly Suppression Bureau. What if they became suspicious and noticed he arrived empty-handed?
Besides the Southern Border Wizard’s corpse, Lu Zheng also bought three ornaments online: one Welcoming Pine, one Fierce Tiger Descending the Mountain, and one Fish Leaping the Dragon Gate, all made of colorful glass. This time he brought a Welcoming Pine, intending to exchange it for money at a pawn shop to buy the Sweet Shop, and subsequently start a Sugar Workshop, thereby covering the loophole of the sugar he brought from the modern era.
...
Traversing mountains, crossing waters, passing through forests and rivers, arriving at Yizhou City.
A wide official road ended at a five-zhang-high bluestone city wall, with an arched fortress entrance and arrow-tower eaves. Lu Zheng finally saw a city wall similar to those in film and television.
Last night, upon reaching the vicinity of Yizhou City at around 7 p.m., the city gates were already closed, so he found an inn outside the city to stay overnight, planning to enter the city early today.
Now, at the break of dawn, 5:15 AM, Lu Zheng led his horse, mingling among the farmers and vendors preparing to enter the city, queuing to go through the gate.
"Giddy up!"
