Pei River, the water source for the people in the capital city, was bustling due to surging water and the overlying shadows of sails.
Meng Qi and the others were standing on the shore of the Pei River, overlooking numerous streets and markets on the other side of the river, including the remote city gate.
"I haven't seen the capital city for nine years, but it appears to be as bustling as it was yesterday," said Lu Guan, somewhere between exclamation and lament.
"If the West Invaders go down south, such a scene of prosperity will no longer be seen. General Lu, please take care of yourself for all the people," Taoist Hu said sincerely.
