The Old Man looked at the two and said, "You're here. Are you ready?"
The two bowed and said, "Yes, Steward Men. We're ready." Then the two took out two stacks of paper and handed them over to the Old Man. After the Old Man received the paper, he carefully flipped through it and looked at the content. After a while, he nodded and said, "Good, it's very detailed. You two can go back." The two quickly nodded and then turned around to leave.
The Old Man received the two stacks of paper, then he turned to Men Qing and said, "Men Qing, go prepare the carriage. We'll go to the Gathering Clouds Mountain to see the wind and clouds. I'll go see the patriarch first." Men Qing nodded and then turned around to leave. The old man then turned to Little Crane Grass and Little Yu 'er and said, "Bao' er, Yu 'er, you two play by yourselves first. Grandpa will take you out to see the scenery in a while." The two nodded vigorously, their eyes filled with excitement.
The Old Man looked at the two and then gently patted their heads. Then he nodded and turned around to leave. Before long, Ling Dang and Cui Yu entered the courtyard. They didn't see the Old Man and Men Qing. Although they felt strange, they still finished their work and began to clean up the courtyard. The leftovers on the table were also cleaned up.
At this time, the Old Man went to the Small White House and directly went to the Patriarch's office. After entering the door, Liu Yunfei immediately summoned him.
After the Old Man gave Liu Yunfei a salute, he took out the two stacks of paper and said, "Patriarch, these are the reports written by Liu Yu and Liu Ji. I've taken a look at them, they're very detailed."
Liu Yunfei took the two stacks of paper from the Old Man's hand and carefully looked at them. Then he nodded and said, "Good, they're very detailed. These two brats did a good job. I originally wanted to ask them, but now it seems like there's no need. Alright, let Little Yu 'er rest for a while. We'll wait for the news." The old gate master knew what Liu Yunfei meant. Recently, Liu Clan's shipping on Wuling River should be reduced appropriately.
This time, the incident at the Devil Beach was too big. In the Soul World, no matter which country it was, the battle between the powerful soul soldiers would attract a lot of attention. This time, at the Devil Beach, the battle between nearly ten soul soldiers naturally attracted the attention of the Blade Spirit Country. They wouldn't ignore it and would definitely send people to investigate. At this time, if they didn't restrain themselves, then the unlucky ones would be them.
Liu Yunfei turned his head and said to the old man, "You go and make the arrangements. Tell the people in the family to be more well-behaved. Maybe the secret agents of the imperial family have already entered Juyun City. It's best to be careful."
The Old Gatekeeper complied. Liu Yunfei waved his hand and the Old Gatekeeper retreated. The Old Gatekeeper went outside and made some arrangements before leaving the White Mansion.
When the Old Gatekeeper returned to his courtyard, Men Qing was already there. Ling Dang and Cui Yu were also ready. Of course, the two of them wouldn't follow them. Instead, they prepared food and necessities for them.
As a citizen of Juyun City, they were very clear that although Juyun Mountain wasn't very far from Juyun City, but every year during these few days, Juyun Mountain would be the most crowded. If they went to Juyun Mountain at this time, they would definitely stay in the mountain for a night and would only come back tomorrow. Therefore, they had to prepare some food and necessities.
Of course, a big local family like the Liu Clan had a courtyard in Juyun Mountain. A place to live was certainly not a problem. Moreover, there were servants staying in the courtyard all year round. Therefore, when the Old Gatekeeper went there, food and necessities were actually not a problem.
But in the end, the Old Gatekeeper was only a steward, he wasn't a member of the Liu Clan. So when they went there, the courtyard wouldn't prepare too many things. Moreover, because the courtyard was empty all year round, the preparations weren't necessarily good. If they wanted to eat something good, then they had to rely on themselves to prepare it.
When the Old Gatekeeper saw that the preparations were almost done, he nodded and said, "Alright, everything is ready. Then let's go. Yesterday morning, we woke up just in time to see the scenery." The reason why the Old Gatekeeper said this was because if one wanted to see the scenery of Juyun Mountain, then they had to go there in the morning. Only at sunrise would they be able to see the scenery. After that, they wouldn't be able to see it anymore.
The time that the wind shadow would appear added up to an hour. If they missed that time, then they wouldn't be able to see it anymore.
The Old Gatekeeper had already arranged the family's affairs. Moreover, the family needed to be low-key recently, so there wouldn't be too many things happening. Moreover, he wasn't the only steward in the family right now. There wouldn't be a problem for him to leave for a day or two. He just needed to inform the others.
The Old Gatekeeper led the three people out of the Liu Mansion. They sat on the Liu Mansion's carriage and went straight out of the city. But this time, they didn't leave from the North Gate of Juyun City. Instead, they went to the East Gate.
As soon as they came out of the Liu Mansion, the Old Gatekeeper looked at the situation of Juyun City through the window. There wasn't anything special about Juyun City, but there were a lot fewer children of the various clans.
In the past, the children of the various clans of Juyun City would usually be active in Juyun City. Although they wouldn't do things like bully people, they would still call their friends and swagger through the streets. But now, they couldn't be seen.
Little Crane Grass was also observing the situation outside. As the carriage moved forward, Little Crane Grass roughly understood the layout of Juyun City. The entire Juyun City was divided into five regions: East, South, West, North, and Central. The East, South, West, and North regions were controlled by the Four Great Clans. Although they were only the City Defense Officers there, in fact, those four regions were similar to their own territory. After so many years, the Four Great Clans didn't offend each other. They got along with each other peacefully. Moreover, they were connected by marriage, forming a huge, intertwined network of relationships.
And in the middle of Juyun City was the location of the East Arrival Mansion. That was also the location of the Juyun City's City Lord, the East Arrival Mansion's Mansion Head. The Four Great Clans didn't dare to go there. They didn't dare to stretch their hands over there, otherwise, they would definitely be dealt with by the Imperial Family.
Therefore, although Juyun City was divided into five regions, they had always gotten along peacefully. This was mainly because of the Four Great Clans. The Four Great Clans had always been very honest. Every year, they didn't pay a single cent less in taxes. The people under their rule also lived a good life and didn't do anything too excessive. Therefore, the Mansion Head also turned a blind eye to the matters of the Four Great Clans.
Of course, Little Crane Grass couldn't possibly know about these. He only had a rough understanding of the layout of Juyun City and didn't care much about other things.
But the Old Doorman wasn't observing these. He wanted to see if there were any special people or things on the streets because the Patriarch said that the Imperial Family's secret agents might have already arrived.
The Imperial Family's secret agents were no joke. It was said that the Imperial Family's secret agents were all-pervasive. Moreover, you shouldn't think of the Imperial Family's secret agents as experts. They were very likely to be some trained Soul Bearers. They hid in the countryside and hid in the city. Perhaps an old farmer selling vegetables next to you was a Imperial Family's secret agent.
But don't underestimate these Imperial Family's secret agents. In addition to inquiring about information, they also carried out assassinations. Although they were Cloud Bearers and couldn't cultivate anything, when it came to assassination, they weren't inferior to anyone. They could obtain some assassination weapons that weren't circulated outside, and even some secret poisons. And those poisons were all concocted by some Plant Masters. They were colorless and tasteless. Even if you were a Soul Bearer, if you were poisoned by them, you would be skinned alive even if you didn't die.
After looking for a while and not finding anyone special, the Old Doorman withdrew his gaze. He also knew that there wouldn't be any results if he continued to observe, but he still couldn't help but want to take a look.
Before long, the carriage left the city. The Old Doorman finally gave up. He turned to look at Little Crane Grass and Little Yu 'er. The two of them were now squeezed by the window, looking outside. Little Yu' er was pointing outside from time to time and laughing from time to time. Hearing Little Yu 'er's laughter, the Old Doorman's mood became a lot better.
From Juyun City to Juyun Mountain, there was a total of 50 li. The carriage that the Old Doorman was riding wasn't an ordinary carriage. The horses pulling the carriage were all fine horses. The 50 li journey took about two hours.
When they arrived at the foot of Juyun Mountain, Little Crane Grass and Little Yu 'er were dumbfounded. This Juyun Mountain was really too high. One must know that Tree Root Village was also at the foot of Jadeite Mountain. Jadeite Mountain wasn't a small mountain, but compared to Juyun Mountain, Jadeite Mountain was far inferior.
Mount Juyun was extremely tall. Most importantly, there were five peaks on Mount Juyun. From afar, it looked like five fingers had suddenly stretched out from the ground. It was very strange.
The Old Doorman looked at Little Crane Grass and Little Yu 'er, then he smiled faintly and said, "From here, we can see the five main peaks of the Cloud-Gathering Mountain. It's because the five peaks are still very far away from us, and our goal isn't the five peaks. You should know that the five peaks of the Cloud-Gathering Mountain are very difficult for even birds to cross. Very few people would go there. I heard that there are some fierce beasts, wild beasts, and ferocious birds there. As long as they see someone approaching the five peaks of the Cloud-Gathering Mountain, they would attack crazily, as if they wouldn't give up until their last breath. Even among the Soul Soldiers, very few people can enter the five peaks of the Cloud-Gathering Mountain. I heard that in the past, there were people who went there, but in the end, they didn't come back alive. Fortunately, those wild beasts never come down from the mountain, so the periphery of the Cloud-Gathering Mountain is very safe, especially the Cloud-Gathering Peak. Every year, a lot of people would go there to watch the spectacle of the Cloud-Gathering Mountain."
It's very lively. "Little Crane Grass nodded and said," I've read about this matter from the Journey of the Blade. When Leiming wrote the Journey of the Blade, he wanted to go to the five main peaks of Juyun Mountain. However, he didn't even go to the first peak before he retreated. Right, he said that the first peak of the five peaks is called the Snake King Peak. Because there are snakes everywhere, all kinds of snakes. "
The Old Doorman nodded and said, "Right, the five peaks of Juyun Mountain are called the Snake King Peak, Eagle King Peak, Tiger King Peak, Bear King Peak, and Pig King Peak. Together, they are called the Five King Peaks."
