In the first year of the Han Tribe's founding era, it was a special year—not only because the new era had been established, but also because this was the year the Han Tribe made great geographical discoveries.
Perhaps calling it a geographical discovery was a bit exaggerated, but the Han Tribe had indeed broadened its understanding of the world considerably that year. First, You Fu went south and discovered a waterway leading to Great Grassland Lake. Along the way, he befriended many tribes and found a large number of valuable mineral veins for the Han Tribe. Then he continued south to open up a sea route, and the development of the southern region was currently going quite well.
You Ye, who belonged to the same You clan, was unwilling to remain idle either. After spending a year familiarizing himself with Great Swamp Lake, he unexpectedly discovered a waterway leading north. Without even saying goodbye, he immediately boarded a ship and sailed upstream. He had been gone for several months, and now there was finally news of him. Who knew what he had discovered after being away for so long?
After receiving the maid's report, Luo Chong quickly dressed and got out of bed. He had not even tied up his hair, simply stepping outside with his thick black hair hanging loose. The morning weather was fairly cool, so Luo Chong went straight beneath a loofah trellis in the courtyard to summon Yun Zhi.
Yun Zhi arrived soon, but to Luo Chong's surprise, You Ye was nowhere beside him. Instead, Yun Zhi had brought a bamboo tube sealed with mud. The moment Luo Chong saw it, he knew what it was. It had to be a message delivered by a Flying Eagle Message, which meant You Ye had not returned yet.
