Chapter 1390: Grand Finale

Suisui and Princess Lianchun sat on the back of the Great Phoenix, heading west to Xiling. By this time, it was no longer a country but had been reformed into a province, Western Zhou.

Looking at the brand new boundary stone of Western Zhou, Princess Lianchun couldn’t help but sigh.

“Dear one, look, this is all your merit.”

Upon hearing this, Suisui couldn’t help but curl her lips. Back in the day when she came to this Xiling, it was just a casual remark, who would have thought…

“Hehe, it is also thanks to the Emperor, your foster father, being such a good emperor, a sage of the ages!”

If Emperor Yuansheng were greedy and tyrannical, let alone Xiling becoming Western Zhou, even the Great Han might no longer exist.

However, as a mortal foster father responsible for such difficult tasks, without truly possessing that Dragon Qi and the fortune of the nation, how could he bear the title of Emperor and foster father?

“Dear one, where is this Array of Heaven in the west?”

“It’s still far away! Auntie, don’t worry, we haven’t rested for several days. Let’s find a place here to rest first, and set off again tomorrow morning!”

When Suisui said this, Princess Lianchun frowned and said, “You’ve talked for so long and still haven’t made it clear where the Array of Heaven is?”

“Huh? Did I not say? The little girl scratched her head and giggled, “If I’m guessing correctly, it should be in the Western Regions!”

Upon hearing this, Princess Lianchun’s eyes couldn’t help but sharpen, “The Western Regions? That’s a place where Buddhism thrives! How come it’s there?”

“Because of the Celestial Dao! The place where the Array of Heaven is located is naturally different. Auntie, don’t you know that the first Array of Heaven I and Seventh Uncle talked about dismantling was on the sea’s Lingzhou Island? And that’s the place linking the thirteen overseas islands. After breaking the Array of Heaven, overseas people can already find Lingzhou Island’s coordinates. Soon, overseas will establish a connection with the Central Plains!”

“I see! That place is the position of the Cyan Dragon to the east, so it’s on the sea. And now we’re going to the west. The west is the White Tiger, and Buddhism flourishes in the west. Is there any connection in this?”

Upon hearing this, Suisui blinked and was about to speak when a Xiao Er stood in front of them.

It turned out that while they were talking, they had unknowingly entered the city and walked to the entrance of an Inn.

“Are you two guests here for a meal or a stay? Our inn’s rooms are clean and spacious, and the food is delicious and hygienic, ensuring you both feel at home. Here, it’s as warm as being at home.”

Princess Lianchun glanced at the Xiao Er, a look of appreciation in her eyes, “You sure know how to talk. We’ll stay at your place. First, give us an upper room, then prepare your signature dishes on a large table, and then bring us two large pots of hot bathwater!”

After speaking, Princess Lianchun handed a ten-tael silver ingot to the Xiao Er.

“This is for you, serve us well!”

“Thank you, esteemed guests, please follow me upstairs.”

As Xiao Er was leading Suisui and Princess Lianchun upstairs, a thin young man suddenly ran into the entrance of the inn.

“Boss, I want to ask if you know, on this street today, if anyone has found a parcel!”

The young man was anxious and worried, his face covered in cold sweat, and his legs were trembling.

“Don’t worry, guest. You look like you’re from a foreign place. Rest assured, if you’ve lost something, you can go directly to the Government Office for lost and found. In our Western Zhou, the law is strict, and people don’t pick up things on the road.”

“Xiao Er, I hear from your words that my package has already been picked up and handed to the Government Office?”

“That’s right, although I don’t know if your package has been found and handed to the Government Office, I believe that if you really lost something, reporting it to the authorities would surely ensure your belongings are found!”

Xiao Er said loudly.

The scholar repeatedly expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, Xiao Er. If my package can be retrieved, I will definitely come back with a generous reward.”

“Oh, no need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank our Officer Xu. Our Western Zhou was once in disarray, but ever since Officer Xu took office two years ago, under his meticulous governance, people have been educated, and he treats the people like his own children. That’s why Western Zhou looks the way it does today.”

“Officer Xu?”

Upon hearing this, Princess Lianchun pondered deeply and suddenly realized.

“Auntie, do you know this Officer Xu?”
