"Qilin?"
Li Guanyi, his brush tip heavy with ink, almost landed on General Xue's face, but he stopped at these two words, not just because of this exotic beast that existed only in myth and legend, but also because in the story of Yue Qianfeng, Taiping Duke came to Jiangnan after subjugating the Southwest area, holding the beads of barbarian chiefs.
He rode upon a qilin.
Such a divine beast, so vast is Chen Country, it was unlikely there were two.
General Xue smiled and said, "Yes, a qilin."
"If you have heard of Chen Xingyuan's story, there should be a line where he brandished his sword and killed a fierce tiger with wings, making the giants from the Northern Domain beat a hasty retreat. Chen Xingyuan made his name, but have you ever wondered why such a winged tiger suddenly left its dwelling and came to the Central Plains?"
Before Li Guanyi could answer, General Xue had already stated the reason.
