Tan Zhiyuan
'Twas the first stop of Tan Zhiyuan's long journey from city to city, dutifully answering each letter he received. A man named Li An was supposedly the one who delivered the letter, and Tan travelled all the way from Hanzhong to Yun Nan to meet with Prefect Li Jun in his palace. Accompanied by absolutely nobody, and wearing commoner's clothes as to not be recognised by anyone [even though he was completely unknown], Tan marched to the gates of the great city. He looked around, and noticing other commoners walking into and out of the city, Tan walked up to the gates and entered. Within was nothing truly of note to him; he only ever heard tales, stories, and rumours about the people to the south, and most of the things he heard were not pleasant. The city itself was like a massive, imposing fortress, and such a large complex in the centre of the city was relatively foreign to him. The prefecture at Han Zhong was rather small in comparison; perhaps even dwarfed would be an appropriate adjective.
Letter in hand, Tan walked to the doors of the prefecture, and cleared his throat before speaking to the guards.
"I have come to the Kingdom of Yun Nan to speak with Li Jun, for a man named Li An sent me a letter which intrigued me. Is Li Jun available today?"
Little Lady Xiao then spoke up sneakily from behind.
"Lord An, Lord Jun, which of them you wish to find~?"
Little Lady Xiao noticed the man's letter in hand.
Wearing peasant clothes and nothing really grand~
Little Lady Xiao then said; "My name is Xiao."
"May I read the letter in your hand right now~?"
Little Lady Xiao then turned to him quickly with her feet.
Standing in front of the man with a smile to greet~
