Chapter 96

Luohe City, a ceremonial procession that looked quite important slowly appeared on the street.

The ceremonial procession had soldiers wearing armor and carrying swords and blades in the front and back; the several two-horse carriages in the procession could further explain that their status was not simple.

After all, in this day and age, ordinary people couldn't afford horses to pull carriages, let alone so many carriages pulled by two horses.

Such a scene attracted many common people to watch; one by one, they stood on tiptoe, all wanting to see what kind of person was inside the carriage.

It's just that they could at most see some blurry silhouettes behind the carriage curtains; other than that, there were only those soldiers who looked like they shouldn't be approached.

"Luohe City is really lively today!"

Also watching the fun was Lin Feng, who had come into the city to buy things, but he was not interested in the identity of the owner of this procession.

"Ta ta~"

Soon, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves gradually moving away, the entire ceremonial procession gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Heading toward the direction of the City Lord's Mansion?"

Lin Feng looked at the direction where the ceremonial procession disappeared and felt a bit intrigued; he wondered what expression the other party would have after discovering that Luohe City had changed owners?

Of course, perhaps the other party already knew in advance, but who cares? It has nothing to do with him!

"Buy paper! Buy meat!"

Shaking his head, Lin Feng continued to walk toward his destination; since he had been here last time, he was much smoother this time when he arrived at that papermaking workshop.

"Yo, little brother is here again; do you want Chen paper or old paper today?"

"That's right, the same as last time!"

Looking at the owner before him, Lin Feng threw out five taels of silver, and the other party instantly turned into a smiling face.

"Come, come, come, feel free to pick from these old papers!"

Lin Feng didn't stand on ceremony and, like last time, directly took a large bundle of mulberry paper; this strength made the workshop owner's eyelids jump.

"Little brother really has great strength!"

"I might come again next time; keep any old or waste paper for me!"

Lin Feng was too lazy to talk to him about this; he shouldered the more than two hundred jin of mulberry paper, gave a brief instruction, and walked toward the alley outside the workshop.

"Hoo~"

Still finding a place with no one around, he put these papers into the Yinjian Shijie, and then Lin Feng began to walk toward the market in the city.

In this era, many cities have markets specifically for trading large and small livestock; according to Old Quezi, if you want to buy venison, you can also try your luck here.

City Lord's Mansion, the ceremonial procession of Princess Qingyuan stopped in front of it, and then servants immediately came to the door of the City Lord's Mansion to knock.

After being announced, the gate was soon opened, and Princess Qingyuan was welcomed in.

"It seems that this Luohe City has indeed changed."

Princess Qingyuan, who is now sixteen years old, looks in the prime of her life, with a cinnabar dot between her eyebrows and a hazy fine veil on her face, giving people a feeling of being untainted by the world.

The moment she entered the City Lord's Mansion, she saw rows of heavy-armored soldiers standing around the City Lord's Mansion.

The Guiyi aura radiated by these heavy-armored soldiers was exceptionally strong, giving her a feeling of being quite dangerous.

Although she learned the news of Luohe City changing hands before entering the city, she was still secretly surprised in her heart now that she saw such a scene.

She studied under the Perfected Person Gao Mingli, and coupled with her natural talent, even though she is still young, she already possesses strength comparable to a grandmaster.

Precisely because of this, her perception is exceptionally keen; as soon as she entered, she discovered that those heavy-armored soldiers standing around the City Lord's Mansion were not ordinary.

"Zhenguisi Gold-Badge Divine Catcher Li Yanbing respectfully welcomes the arrival of Princess Qingyuan!"

Suddenly, a heroic and extraordinary female Divine Catcher in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion came out to greet her with several Silver-Badge Divine Catchers.

"Qingyuan thanks you all here."

Princess Qingyuan smiled slightly after seeing the person clearly and then bowed in return.

"I ask the Princess not to blame us; the Zhenguisi was previously arresting rebels and suppressing ghosts, so we were unable to arrange personnel to go outside the city to welcome you."

Li Yanbing pointed to the somewhat messy scene around her, and then said this to Princess Qingyuan as if explaining.

"Not at all; nowadays, natural and man-made disasters are constant, and it is precisely because of you in the Zhenguisi that the Great Xia can maintain the well-being of the people in one area."

Understanding the meaning behind the other party's words, Princess Qingyuan didn't mind, but instead praised Li Yanbing and the others.

"Princess, you are too kind; it is just our duty!"

"Also, I don't know if the Princess has any important matters for coming to Luohe City this time?"

Li Yanbing did not appreciate such polite words at all, and then she changed the subject and asked her directly.

"Some time ago, I was shocked to hear that a Perfected Person senior took action to save the safety of a city; Qingyuan has always admired such senior experts, so I specifically came to pay a visit."

However, the words she said immediately made Li Yanbing's expression somewhat ugly; this guy really has bad intentions!

"I'm afraid I have to disappoint the Princess; that senior is not a member of our Zhenguisi, and he has always refused to see outsiders."

Li Yanbing replied in a flat tone; she didn't want this beloved daughter of the Li King to have any connection with that senior.

"Oh? I haven't heard of that; then, Lord Li, how do you contact that senior?"

Princess Qingyuan didn't seem surprised by her reaction, but continued to ask her with a curious tone.

"There are no other means; if that senior wants to see me, he will naturally order someone to summon me to pay a visit!"

Li Yanbing lied without even blinking, blocking Princess Qingyuan's question in one sentence.

"Sigh, that is truly a pity; Lord Li, if you can see that senior next time, please put in a good word for me. If I could meet such a senior expert, it would be fulfilling a wish of mine."

Princess Qingyuan said with some regret, and then continued to say to Li Yanbing: "Since that is the case, I will stay in Luohe City for a few more days; perhaps I will happen to run into that senior expert by chance. I ask Lord Li not to blame me."

"Princess, please feel free!"

Li Yanbing replied with an expressionless face, and then watched this Princess Qingyuan, who was young but spoke and acted flawlessly, leave gracefully.

"Lord, she has come with ill intent!"

Li He walked to Li Yanbing's side and reminded her.

"I know!"

Li Yanbing's expression was somewhat cold, and then she turned and walked toward the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Clear all the account books and wealth here for me; additionally, start contacting the Zhenguisi of other cities from tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

No matter what the purpose of Princess Qingyuan's visit is, her status on the surface is still a Great Xia Princess, a royal relative.

She cannot be driven away, nor can she be arrested, and one must even pay attention to her safety at all times; otherwise, if something happens, Li Yanbing will definitely be in big trouble!

"Princess, this Luohe City is a place of right and wrong; it is not suitable to stay for long!"

On the carriage, a young girl who looked equally pretty and charming beside Princess Qingyuan suddenly spoke up to remind her.

"You know this, how could I not?"

"Those heavy-armored soldiers I saw just now are not ordinary things; if such soldiers appeared on the battlefield, I'm afraid my father's spring and autumn dreams would be awakened!"

"But for a small Gold-Badge Divine Catcher to possess such a heavy army is really beyond my expectations; the means of that Perfected Person senior are probably even more brilliant than I thought..."

Princess Qingyuan looked at the bustling streets of Luohe City through the carriage window, her thoughts turning a hundred times.
