“There was originally no City Lord in Jiangsai City. About a hundred years ago, this was a place filled with war and disasters.” After City Lord Wan confirmed Ah Yu’s identity, it was as if he had suddenly become enlightened. He did not beat around the bush.

“Since you’re the Holy Envoy, 1 won’t hide this from you. Perhaps you can’t understand, but in order to wait for you to appear, the previous generations of City Lords have already lost their faith. I thought that I would just live like this in a muddle-headed state as well. Then, 1’11 pass down the position of City Lord and let it go for the rest of my life.”

[He wanted to pass down the position of City Lord to King Xiaoyao.] While City Lord Wan was telling the story, Meatball secretly sent a message to All Yu. [1 thought they were imprisoning King Xiaoyao, but now I realize that they were thinking of a way to treat King Xiaoyao’s leg.]

Ah Yu had also thought about treating King Xiaoyao’s leg many times, but the elf told her that in any case, King Xiaoyao’s leg was already in that state and would not get worse. It wouldn’t be too late to take this risk when she was older and truly had the ability to protect herself.

She now understands more and more that the higher the position of a person, the less she can judge them solely by their character, because they have too many things beyond their control.

King Xiaoyao was someone who had been tested by the elf, but it was only to test his favorability towards her. It did not prove that he would treat anyone very well, nor did it mean that he could stay true to his heart when facing benefits that exceeded his understanding.

She had to be careful with everyone other than her family.

“Uncle Ah Shu won’t want to be the City Lord. He’s a person who’s afraid of trouble.” Ah Yu felt that she knew King Xiaoyao quite well. Outsiders said that he was the living King of Hell and used torture at the drop of a hat. Many serious criminals were interrogated to death by him.

However, Ah Yu knew that he was not cruel, but he liked to simplify things. This was because the more gentle the policy, the more troublesome it would be.

Only by killing decisively could he cut the Gordian knot.

The military books said the same thing.

The outcome of his simple and crude methods was that his reputation as the living King of Hell would precede him.

While All Yu and the elf were discussing, City Lord Wan did not stop. He roughly explained the origins of Jiangsai City and this stone hall.

It was nothing more than that Jiangsai City was actually an ownerless land that was also uninhabited. Later on, many wandering soldiers gathered because of the war.

Those people rested for a period of time before gradually giving birth to children and later lived and settled here.

The Great Chang, West Wind, and the surrounding small countries, which could not even be considered as countries, were all nibbling away at their territory here.

“There’s a Hu Dingbang in the Great Chang. He’s known as General Hu. He’s a legendary figure. Back then, he led 30,000 armored horsemen directly from the north pass and made a name for himself here. In just half a year, he defeated the others and suppressed other countries to sign the contract of ownership of Jiangsai.” Speaking of this, City Lord Wan had a look of admiration. “From then on, Jiangsai really became the border of the Great Chang. During the years when General Hu was alive, Jiangsai City established a protectorate with 30,000 troops stationed all year round.”

Later on, General Hu retired and returned to the fields. The garrison on Jiangsai’s side was also recalled and disintegrated by the other factions one after another. The Jiangsai protectorate filled its own pockets and was led by muddle-headed and incompetent people. This place gradually became a land of chaos.

By the time the Imperial Court reacted and wanted to deal with it properly, it was already difficult to turn the situation around.

The role of City Lords of Jiangsai City started passing down about 50 years ago. Although it had not been long, there were more than 30 City Lords. Most of them did not have a good ending. It could be seen how dangerous this position was.

The City Lord only gradually appeared after the Jiangsai City protectorate was dismantled.

“Although the history of the City Lords are relatively history and the stone hall was only built more than 40 years ago, the underground palace has existed for more than 100 years. According to what 1 know, it might be the tomb of a certain country’s royal family, or even the tomb of General Hu.”

“Impossible!” Wang Wulang blurted out. “General Hu is a humble person. How can his tomb be so luxurious!”

Moreover, the real General Hu’s tomb was in their village!

Although he had never seen General Hu before and was not from the Hu Family, Wang Wulang was a follower of General Hu.

Ah Yu also shook her head. “We went in to take a look. Although we didn’t see much of the mechanisms inside, there are quite a lot of treasures. The furnishings in the palace don’t look like the style of the Great Chang. From the clues I can see, we can infer that it should be the tomb of a certain royal princess.”

“It’s a woman’s?” This time, it was City Lord Wan’s turn to be surprised. “I’ve never been inside before, so 1 don’t know what’s there.”

At this moment, the woman in red said, “City Lord, when we went to check, the mechanism outside was destroyed. The mechanism inside… is still there.”

They had almost died in the trap.

Fortunately, they knew the first few mechanisms well and often repaired them, so they were not injured.

Speaking of this, City Lord Wan’s eyes were filled with excitement as he looked at Ah Yu. “Lord Holy Envoy, I wonder if you’re free to bring us to the underground palace. 1 only know where some legendary secret keys are, but I’ve never dared to open them. I’m only waiting for Lord Holy Envoy to arrive.”

Chi Gou glanced at him. “There’s no need to make it sound so righteous.”

City Lord Wan:”…” Shut up, or I’ll crush you to death!

However, Ah Yu was in no hurry to bring them to the underground palace. Instead, she took out a piece of paper from her long cloth boots and handed it to City Lord Wan.

“There’s no hurry. City Lord Wan, in that case, why don’t you resolve my problem first?” All Yu said. “After all, without a protectorate in Jiangsai City, only you are left.”

City Lord Wan took it over and took a look. The words “Appointment Letter” were shockingly written on it. The content below was from the Ministry of Personnel. The general idea was that the Commander of the Astrology Divination Bureau had come to Jiangsai for a year of friendly exchange on official business. The local officials had to be prepared to receive her. They had to abide by the principles of friendship, mutual assistance, and harmonious coexistence. They had to protect the safety of the Commander’s life and could not neglect her needs.

The most eye-catching thing was the line of seals at the bottom. Other than the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs, there was actually the seal of the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial Attendant’s Office, the jade seal from Emperor Minghua, and the phoenix seal from the Empress Dowager and Empress.

City Lord Wan: ???

Wait, so many people were protecting this little girl in front of him?

How was this a study tour? She was clearly the Crown Princess Consort who had descended to the mortal world!
