We have arrived at the city after hearing Xiao Qi spoke about her past life and family. The trip felt quicker then expected. Xu Chang City is the center of Cao Cao's forces and sphere of influence. The Capital of the current Wei Force.
The City is surrounded by a 40 m high wall for protection. Including hundreds of patrols and archers stationed on every watch tower fortified by layers of stone bricks and wetted wood. They wetted the woods so that in case of fire, the damage won't spread far and caused extensive damage to the watchtowers.
Xu Chang City is a city with diverse resources and massive farm lands. Xu Chang City became a self sustaining City capable of supporting hundreds of thousands of people for many years in case of a long siege.
All thirty thousand troops gathered here under the summon of Cao Cao. The letter stated that there would be an award ceremony here, for all who had fought in the campaign against Lu bu .
Jin Wei
" Xiao Qi , we've arrived at Xu Chang City ."
Xiao Qi
" Ah , right, sorry I dosed of for a moment there ."
Jin Wei
" So where should I drop you of ? "
Xiao Qi
" Right , over there ."
" That big building with the large courtyard and blue banners covering its walls, this my Mo family Mansion , pretty grand isn't it ."
Jin Wei
" Wow, your family must be really rich , to own such a large plot of land in the middle district."
Xiao Qi
" Of course , My Mo family is the main vassal family of the Cao Clan ."
" My family had been fighting, gaining fame from the battlefields for many years. "
I dropped Xiao Qi of at the gates of the Mansion. The Mo family servants rushed out to great her . They threw her a grand welcome. Xiao Qi's third uncle Elder Mo Zhen embraced Xiao Qi as she stepped pass the gates. Xiao Qi told me she was ousted from her family my her Uncles and family elders, however her third uncle remain on her side since her parents past away.
Xiao Qi
" Brother Jin, this is my third uncle and elder of the Mo family Mo Zhen."
Mo Zhen
" Greetings Warrior Jin , Thank you so much for recuing Xiao Qi . "
Jin Wei
" No problem Elder Mo ."
Mo Zhen
" Warrior Jin , Why don't you come inside for a cup of tea ."
Xiao Qi
" Come inside brother Jin , so we can continue our conversation ."
Jin Wei
" Sorry but , I can't ."
" I have to go to the Palace ."
Xiao Qi
" To the palace ? "
Jin Wei
" I guess , I haven't mentioned it yet , I am a commander within the Wei army, I came to Xu Chang because I've been summoned here by The Lord to attend the awards ceremony . "
Xiao Qi
" Okay then I'll talk to you later, after the award ceremony. "
Jin Wei
" Okay then I'll come by to visit you afterwards ."
" Goodbye Xiao Qi ."
I spurred my horse forwards towards the palace at the center of Xu Chang City . Leaving the mansion behind me.
