Capítulo 42: Chapter 39 The Lin Family of Lanxi

The capital of Zhongnan Country is called Luojing.

Luojing is situated on a vast plain at the foot of Taibai Mountain, amidst the Zhongnan Mountains.

It is also the most fertile and prosperous area in Zhongnan Country.

Ancient pavilions and terraces, amid the misty willows and dwellings, stretch haphazardly for miles.

Although Luojing is the capital of a country, apart from the Inner City where the Imperial Family resides, there is not a single outer city wall, for the entire Zhongnan Mountains serve as the best barrier.

In the early morning, a light rain trickles down.

In the rainy season, Zhongnan Mountain is prone to frequent downpours.

But at this moment, outside the city of Luojing, at a ten-mile-long pavilion, two groups of people are standing under their umbrellas.

This long pavilion is a necessary passage for travelers from the south to Luojing; usually, at this time, there should be many people welcoming friends, snapping off a willow twig as a farewell gesture.
