Chapter 835: Not Even the Fuchun River Can Cleanse Them

The summer in the wildlands south of the Tang Empire was not extremely hot. It was as gentle as the Empress, called Xia Tian, (Summer in English) and it made one feel very comfortable. Along the way to the south, Ning Que naturally recalled the trip to Lanke Temple he had made with Sangsang. It was here, where he fell in love with this place.

Ning Que and Wang Jinglue rode in an ordinary carriage, and when they reached the Verdant Canyon and the carriage could no longer move forward, they abandoned it and walked. They struggled to find their way between the rocky mountains. There were a lot of Tang soldiers the steep canyon to guard it. The imperial court still had no intention of completely sealing the Verdant Canyon, having plans to recover it one day in the future.
