Not long after setting off, the Xiling Delegation faintly heard the sound of musical instruments playing ahead.
"Where is the sound coming from?"
The veiled woman inside the Da Wan Country's carriage asked.
The maid following the convoy said, "The officials from the Daqian Ministry of Rites say that it is the Emperor of Daqian holding a grand performance in the Capital City. It reportedly started a few days ago and will continue until the end of the month."
"The Daqian officials say that the performances are even livelier at night, brightly lit, with as many as 18,000 musicians performing. The area spans 5,000 paces."
The maid couldn't help but exclaim, "Daqian is indeed wealthy. Such a grand performance must cost a lot of silver. Our Xiling Countries combined probably couldn't manage it."
The veiled woman was indifferent, and said blandly, "Merely the fat of the common people."
After another ten miles or so, the Xiling Delegation finally arrived at the Daqian Capital City.
