Zhanzhou Prefecture is located in the eastern part of the Northern Border, bordering multiple state prefectures. It has well-developed land routes, frequented by cultivators and commoners for trade. It has always been a prosperous land.
Compared to the desolate neighboring Qingzhou Prefecture, this stark contrast feels somewhat absurd.
When Han Yu and others entered, the sun had just risen, but the city was already bustling. Vendors called out along the streets, and shops were opening one after another.
"These Palace Guards are quite unique."
A group of Palace Guards, armed with blade and sword, were leaving the city just as Han Yu noticed them, exclaiming in surprise.
The reason was simple: the Palace Guards were all cultivators. Even if their cultivation was low, it was still a rare sight.
It was understandable for cultivators to seek experience by aligning with the Imperial Court, but to serve as minor officials? What for?
