Episode 87: Up the Mountain, Entering the City, Into the Palace (Part I)

Three large ships entered the vast Spring Goddess Lake from the river. In the misty twilight, the lake was filled with boats and ships, looking lively and prosperous. Tonight, the group would stay on an island in the heart of the Spring Goddess Lake, called Mushan Island. The ship came to a sudden halt near the island. It seemed that the passengers could go ashore. Looking back at the Spring Goddess Lake, Xu Fengnian muttered in a trance, "We arrived?" Peace City, the capital. It was a dull morning with the sky painted in grey. Three hundred horses galloped along the main thoroughfare, carrying the cavalrymen. Rumor had it that Xu Xiao, the Lord of Northern Liang, was arriving at the capital, rendering this only metropolitan with a population of over a million in a state of chaos. The tall buildings along the main street were filled with people of all kinds, who were eager to take a look at the Grand Consul.
