Not two days after the auspicious signs were unearthed, the southern covert operations had already learned of it, but it was taken as seriously as the fact that Wang Dao had spent a fortune buying a pair of Green Porcelain Lotus Vases to include in a gift list.
They believed this was just one of those things the Jiangnan aristocrats did to celebrate the new emperor's ascension, so although it was recorded, it wasn't given much attention.
However, Zhou Qi and Wang Dao sensed the gravity of the matter and would discuss it in secret behind closed doors each time, so much so that the covert operations hadn't detected the uniqueness of this auspicious sign.
When Luoyang inquired, the southern covert operations began to review last month's information. Finding little of use, they could only look further back until they reached the records of January, finally discovering the source, "Lu Yuan?"
