After parting with Feng Liu at the foot of the mountain, Chen Chao headed for Yingzhou City.
This northeastern seaside city in the Liang Dynasty has many legends in the history of the human race.
Before the founding of Daliang, it was rumored here that Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of Daliang, was the reincarnation of an immortal, so he could conquer the world and seek peace for the people.
Later, Emperor Daliang raised troops in the north, and similar legends spread in Yingzhou City, saying that Emperor Daliang had abundant dragon energy and was the real ruler of the world.
However, compared with these "secular" legends, those legends about immortals that circulate from time to time are the main theme of Yingzhou.
It is precisely because of such endless legends that Yingzhou has been longed for by the world over the years. The people of Daliang also call Yingzhou Xianzhou.
After Chen Chao rushed to Yingzhou City, he entered the prefectural government office without stopping. Li Huaixian, the governor who came after hearing the news, couldn't believe it when he heard the report. But when he came to the lobby half-convinced, he saw the man sitting in the main seat.
When I was young, my whole body trembled and I suddenly woke up.
He no longer doubted anything. The young man in black in front of him looked very much like the guardian envoy in the portrait!
You must know that ever since Lord Chen, the guardian envoy of the Chen Dynasty, killed the demon emperor in the north and established the victory of the battle in the north, not only the people in the capital, but also the ladies waiting to be married, the entire
All the people in the Liang Dynasty began to spend a lot of money to buy portraits of the Chen Dynasty to hang in their homes and burn incense in worship.
Moreover, almost all of them were copied from the portraits of the Painting Saints from the Divine Capital. They would no longer be the same three-part portraits as before.
As for the young people of the Daliang Dynasty today, they dress more like the Chen Dynasty. There was even a joke before. Two young people wearing similar clothes had a conflict. One of them just said, "I am Chen Chao, the garrison envoy of Daliang."
No one bothers to interrupt, you are Chen Chao, then who am I?
"Li Huaixian, the governor of Yingzhou, is sent to the imperial court to see the envoy!"
Li Huaixian was so excited that he was about to bow down. Although he was a scholar, he did not have the slightest contempt for someone like Chen Chao who had really done countless good things for the people, only admiration.
Chen Chao raised his hand and said with a smile: "Li Shishi, as early as when I was in Shendu, I heard Master Xian Zaifu mention that you are one of his most popular disciples. Throughout my journey, Yingzhou can
For this kind of peace, Governor Li must have contributed a lot."
Li Huaixian said sincerely: "If there is no guard envoy to fight bloody battles in the north, how can the people of Yingzhou have peace?"
Chen Chao stood up and walked a few steps, "That is the result of the bloody battles of the soldiers. If I remember correctly, excluding Xinliuzhou, the people of Yingzhou died the most in the northern border."
Of the two northern state capitals, New Liuzhou is always on the front line. Once the Great Wall in the north is breached, the people of New Liuzhou will bear the brunt first, followed by the people of Yingzhou.
Just as Li Huaixian was about to speak, Chen Chao shook his head and joked: "I returned from the northern border to the capital of God. I heard too many compliments. Even if Li Qishi said it again, I would not be able to remember it clearly.
"
Li Huai first smiled knowingly.
"It depends on our gang to kill the demon clan, but to govern the world, our gang together can't match one or two Governor Li. Now that there are no demon clan in the north, how will the people live well? Governor Li has to worry about it
It’s something.”
Chen Chao changed the topic and said with a smile: "I'm here to introduce you. This kind of thing is actually for a layman to say, so I won't say more. This time, I'm not here to check on Li Jishi, but to take a look.
This is the state history of Yingzhou City over the years."
Li Shi was startled. The so-called state records were just records of major events that had happened in the local area over the years. He could not imagine what the Chen Dynasty wanted to see in this.
However, he quickly said: "There are records in the archives. If the official remembers correctly, there are also some state records from the previous dynasties. Because there have always been too many legends about strange things in Yingzhou, the number is huge.
I'm afraid that the other prefectures in Daliang combined cannot compare to Yingzhou alone."
Although he had been prepared for it, Chen Chao was still a little surprised when he saw the huge library of documents.
The yamen servant who accompanied him looked at the dusty bookshelf, looked at Chen Chao carefully and said, "Sir, guard envoy, why don't you ask me to find someone to clean it up first?"
Chen Chao waved his hand and said, "You can go and do your own work and don't worry about me."
The yamen servant did not dare to say anything more and just bowed and left. However, when he was leaving, he couldn't help but say, "Sir, if anything happens, I will be right outside the door."
Facing this invincible man, the government officials did not dare to be careless in the slightest, but he thought that when he returned home and mentioned to his mother-in-law that he had said so many things to the guardian envoy, her mother-in-law would definitely be extremely envious.
Maybe I have to work harder on the bed at night.
When he thought of this, the yamen servant couldn't help but grin.
Chen Chao, who was in the archives, had already begun to look through the state records of Yingzhou for hundreds of years, starting from the previous dynasty. Before he knew it, it was already late at night.
The government officials guarding the door have been replaced one after another. In the past, if they encountered this kind of thing, they would definitely feel that it was a hard job, but now, they are hardly tired. Looking at the figure in the docket, everyone's eyes are filled with excitement.
It's all a matter of admiration.
In their eyes, Chen Chao was the real big shot in the Liang Dynasty. They should have never been able to come into contact with such a big shot in their lifetime, but now that he was right in front of them, that feeling was very unreal.
Chen Chao, on the other hand, had no idea about the passage of time. He was just looking for overseas clues in those state chronicles.
It is said that only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one be able to fight without danger. Before going to sea this time, Chen Chao also wanted to make complete preparations.
He's not that reckless.
…
…
A few days later, a young Taoist priest came from outside the state capital, wearing a dark red robe. However, when he introduced himself, the government officials were dumbfounded.
After being stunned for a long time, I went in to report.
Then Li Huai walked out first, looked at the young Taoist priest, and said with some hesitation, "Is this really the infatuated Master Yun?"
The young Taoist priest nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I have met the governor in Yun Jianyue."
Li Huaixian was a little lost in thought. Even though there was their guard envoy in the state capital now, the man in front of him was also a truly powerful figure in the world.
"Pindao was invited by the guardian envoy. I wonder if the guardian envoy can be here?"
Seeing that Li Huai didn't speak, Yun Jianyue took the initiative to speak, her voice still calm.
