Chapter 1642: Entering the City Chapter 1642: Entering the City Editor: Henyee Translations After Wu Guan and the others entered the city, they found an inn to stay in before contacting each other.
On March 11th, Shao Yunduan arrived at Anze City in the afternoon with his wife and his n.
From afar, they could see the gray city wall that was neither tall nor short.
The surroundings were filled with undulating mountains and forests.
In late spring, the trees and grass were lush, making it look even deeper.
Amidst the surrounding mountains, such a gray city looked even more lonely, desolate, and bleak.
It was unknown if it was because of their preconceived notions, but when everyone looked at the city wall, the yellow soil, and the bumpy official road, they subconsciously felt desolate and sinister.
Even though the sun was shining brightly, it still made people subconsciously nervous.
After all, this was a bandit’s nest!
Anze Prefecture City was very large, but the population didn’t seem to be high.
There were only a few pedestrians and horses on the official road that entered and exited the city gate, making it look very deserted.
In such a cold environnt, Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan, and the other six carriages were very conspicuous.
Anyone who passed by them could not help but size them up curiously.
When the convoy finally arrived at the city gate, a few soldiers guarding the city also looked over.
Just as their carriage was about to enter the city, a few soldiers moved.
“Stop!” They ca forward with rusty spears and surrounded the most luxurious wagon that Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were in.
“Everyone in the carriage, get down!” Shao Yunduan had no intention of concealing his identity and visiting incognito.
Catching the culprits red-handed required boldness and a show of authority, which would be compromised if he hid his identity.
Lixia lifted the curtain, and Shao Yunduan, with an air of authority, opened a fraction of a tael and rushed towards the soldiers.
“I am the new Prefect.
Two n, lead the way to the governnt office!” “…” The soldiers widened their eyes, dumbfounded.
Sun Bai, who was driving the carriage, flicked his wrist, and his black whip drew a sharp arc in the air.
He shouted in a low voice, “How dare you!
Why aren’t you bowing to the Lord Prefect?” Although these soldiers couldn’t read, they were familiar with official seals and the decorum surrounding them.
No one would be so audacious as to make such a jest in broad daylight.
While they knew the new Prefect would assu office soon, no one expected him to enter the city so discreetly.
Reprimanded by Sun Bai, the soldiers’ hearts trembled, and they hastily knelt down.
“Greetings, Lord!” “Greetings, Lord!” It seed that with just six people, the illusion of a bustling scene was successfully created.
Shao Yunduan commanded, “Get up!” Casually pointing at the two soldiers in front, he continued, “You two, lead the way.
The rest, return to your posts.” “Er… yes!” The bewildered soldiers led the way while the others stood guard, looking at each other in confusion.
Why did this Prefect seem so different from the others?
And why had he let them off so easily?
“Hey, what are we waiting for?
Hurry up and report it!” “Oh, yes!”
