Secret Case of Taoyuan
Chapter 1 Shocking Change
Guo Tianyang looked in the direction of the coachman's finger, and his pupils suddenly shrank. The originally bumpy dirt road ahead became smooth and wide at some point. The road was paved with fine bluestones, and there were very few weeds in the gaps. What shocked him even more was that there were two rows of vermilion pillars on both sides of the road, with lifelike stone lions carved on the tops of the pillars. A wooden sign hung on each pillar, with the four characters "Taoyuan County Boundary" written in ink on it. The font was so powerful that it was beyond the ability of ordinary craftsmen to write.
"What... What's going on?" Guo Tianyang rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was hallucinating because he hit his head just now. He clearly remembered checking the map before setting off. Taoyuan County was just a small, barren county located deep in the mountains with a population of less than 2,000. How could it have such neat roads and impressive boundary markers?
Emperor Jing also opened the curtain and walked out. When he saw the scene in front of him, his tense brows furrowed even more tightly. He has been fighting for many years and has traveled to as many as 80 states and counties, but he has never seen a small remote county with such regulations. "It seems that Taoyuan County is simpler than we thought." Emperor Jing said softly, with a glint of inquiry flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, there was the sound of horse hooves in the distance, and a group of people in green uniforms were seen galloping towards this side on horses. They were all tall and straight, with long knives on their waists and serious expressions on their faces. They did not look like ordinary country warriors, but like well-trained soldiers.
The leader was a tall middle-aged man. He came to Emperor Jing and others and reined in his horse.
