Chapter 156: Revisiting the Old Place
"Indeed, the current Qingyun City is very different from the Qingyun City in my memory, the governance is well organized, neither sticking to the regular system, but also opening business in the frontier, which is commendable."
"After the war, recuperate, Qingyun City is not a rich place, and it is quite difficult to govern."
Dongfang Yu held his beard, nodded with a smile, and said in agreement.
"Presumably that green tree must have been planted by your city lord."
Dongfang Yu pointed to the verdant tree outside the city, in the middle of a bustling trade market, and said thoughtfully.
"Hey, you are still a god, that is what our Ye City Lord planted, but now the city lord is gone, and now only that tree can bring us some comfort."
In fact, it's not that Dongfang Yu is so godly, just looking at the busy trade market, leaving such a large open space in the middle, just for a tree.
Presumably, the person who planted this tree must have an extraordinary identity.
In addition, the tree is full of all kinds of blessing jade plaques, and the people who come and go are also very cherished, and when they pass by, they are also a little farther away.
There was an empty space under the trees, and the verdant colors contrasted sharply with the whole downtown area.
"Thank you, little brother, I don't have anything to thank for this, this is some gadgets I brought with me from Yan Guo, so I should be a thank you gift."
Dongfang Yu gave him the bronze slip that Emperor Yan had given him before, symbolizing his esteemed status in Yan Kingdom, to this young man who answered his questions.
This also represents the complete farewell of Dongfang Yu and Yan Guo.
Although this copper slip is of great significance in the Yan State, it is worthless in the land of the Chu State.
Then Dongfang Yu continued to lead his horse forward, passing through a long road, and then entered the inner city of Qingyun City, which is where the real Qingyun City is located.
The walls of Gundam appear in front of you, and there are many dense craters of arrows on the walls, which testify to the recent battle here.
Dongfang Yu raised his head and looked at the majestic Qingyun City Wall, and was amazed, this Qingyun City guard is indeed worthy of his reputation.
With such a strong city wall alone, even if the most powerful army of the Yan Kingdom was sent, it could not guarantee that it would be captured in a short time.
It is very good to take the city wall to the extreme.

Just as Dongfang Yu looked up at the lookout of Qingyun City, Xuan Ke was standing on it, and he also noticed Dongfang Yu.
The pale linen clothes, the scribe's exclusive bun, and the scroll that had been kept in his hand, as well as his detached temperament, all made Xuan Ke suspicious.
As the secret envoy of the Dark Pavilion, he was extremely sensitive to the existence of threats, and he had already noticed it when Dongfang Yu entered the city.
The current Chu State was not stable, and he knew what it meant for Ye Yunyi to keep him here, so he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
Especially Qingyun City, which has just ended the war, is the most likely to be mixed up by spies.
But looking at Dongfang Yu's scholarly demeanor in this life, despite his different intentions, he didn't go down directly and intercept him.
As long as he didn't make trouble in Qingyun City, he didn't want to make trouble. If it was really a treacherous villain, there would be no such invisible aura.
When Xuan Ke watched Dongfang Yu's every move, Dongfang Yu's eyes also saw Xuan Ke standing on the city wall.
In Dongfang Yu's eyes, Xuan Ke's body is entangled with handsome energy, although it is still only in the embryonic stage, as long as he grows, he will definitely be a general like Song Xuan Xie Wang in the future.
At first, Dongfang Yu thought that the Xuan Ke above was Ye Beijiang, but seeing the other party's young face and the news he got before, the person in front of him was not.
"It seems that the current Chu State is really full of talents, I remember that when I left, the Chu State did not even have a conspicuous general, but now there are several."
"God, what are you portending, it is always so fickle, first the destiny of heaven returned to Yan before, and now it is the prosperity of the Chu country."
Although his heart was very entangled1, Dongfang Yu did not stop again, and continued to follow the crowd in front of him to set foot in the real land of Chu.
"General, do you want to interrogate again?"
The deputy general next to him saw that Xuan Ke had been staring at the old man in the city, so he asked.
Xuan Ke didn't answer, just shook his head, if such an old man was interrogated for no reason, it seemed that they were very narrow-minded.
Just let the people under him pay more attention to the other party, and if the other party has any strange behavior in Qingyun City, report it directly.

Dongfang Yu only cared about checking the changes in Qingyun City and enjoying the scenery, and didn't care about the border troops staring at him behind.
The state of Chu is his motherland, when he was successful in learning and preparing to serve the state of Chu, the state of Chu at that time was in chaos, and the court was full of miasma.
Even the people at the bottom are struggling to survive, let alone where the hope is.
He also once took refuge in the imperial court, but the imperial court was ostensibly ruled by the queen mother, but everyone could see that his relatives were interfering in politics, and there was no hope of becoming a politician.
The entire Chu State is controlled by Uncle Chu and them, and a student from a poor background like Dongfang Yu, no matter how talented he is, is still looked down upon by others, and he is very disappointed in the whole country.
In addition, he calculated that Yan had the majesty to dominate the world, so in order to realize his ambition, he had to leave his hometown and go to Yan to practice his talents.
Now I went around and around and returned to the same place, let's say irony, a little, but it is still not as strong as the joy of hearing the people around me talk about the rise of the Chu State when I first entered the city.
Ignoring the border troops who had been watching him, Dongfang Yu went all the way to the place in his memory, a thin horse, a wine jug, and a scroll, just traveling the world.
Now he has long passed the age of ambition, and he has paid most of his efforts for Yan Guo over the years, but because he blocked Yan Guo from attacking Chu State, Chu Tiange directly abandoned him.
I have long looked down on Dongfang Yu, abandoned all the burdens in my heart, and just wanted to travel through the great rivers and mountains of Chu in my lifetime.
The wanderer is home, and when he goes, he can't walk anymore, so he stops and waits quietly for death to come.
Although he has only learned people, and he is proficient in metaphysics, he can see the mysterious things such as luck clearly, but they are all mortals, and their fate cannot be escaped.
can't escape, it's better to look away and live a little more freely.
Thinking like this, Dongfang Yu went all the way in the direction of Chu Capital, looked at the scenery of Chu, and experienced the changes in Chu over the years.
If he could, he also wanted to see the fine willows in Chudu in early spring swaying in the wind again.
