260 Thirty-seven of the Hundred Thousand Mountains

I also have a strong impression of Yun Shuni. She is intelligent, straightforward, and doesn't hide anything. She has also achieved great success!

This place is truly blessed with outstanding people and auspicious energy; or perhaps it's some other special opportunity? My heart was stirred for a moment!

He said softly, with a hint of envy, "It's a good thing that the two generals have left the capital. Although the border is tough, it's also like a dragon entering the sea, where the sky's the limit. Congratulations!"

Yun Qing nodded slightly, "You're too kind, Master Si. It's truly fate that we meet you here!"

Yun Shuni remained silent. Her eyes showed a hint of unhappiness, but she said nothing.

Jingzhai looked on, a hint of guilt and helplessness in his eyes!

Yun Qing gently comforted Yun Shuni and asked in a low voice, "Master, please don't worry. Everyone is caught up in the affairs of the royal city. Fortunately, we are away. We didn't know you would come here. There are still many matters concerning the royal city that require your attention!"

Jingzhai nodded slightly, then shook his head slightly, unsure of where to begin, and a hint of despondency crept in. The struggle for the throne was becoming increasingly clear, something he couldn't control, and besides, he shouldn't get involved in such matters.

Soon, the delicacies were served, and the aroma filled the air. Donkey rolls, mung bean rolls, Dong meat pies, mustard greens, butterfly pastries, yellow cakes, oil tea, sugar-coated sesame cakes, silver thread rolls, osmanthus twisted dough sticks, jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes), noodle soup, fried cakes, donkey sesame cakes, hanging pancakes, meat sesame cakes, and all sorts of other staple foods were quickly served.

The aroma grew richer and more intoxicating, its fragrance wafting through the air as if possessing an invisible power that lifted one's spirits, cleared one's mind, and made one forget all worries, filling one with anticipation for something beautiful.

At that moment, the ethereal moon smiled and said, "Everyone, let's start eating!"

After speaking, he looked at Han Linling intently, as if to say, 'Miss Ling, dinner is ready!'

At this moment, the women were gathered together, but they were missing a male host. The enticing aroma made everyone's appetites grow!

In the distance, night had fallen. Tonight, a trace of warmth quickly spread through the border market, invisible and intangible, yet undeniably real.

Wes, Zhang Dazhuang, Jin Luo, and Bi Fengxing had just finished walking through the market. It was late at night, and all the surrounding stalls had closed and gone home. There were no pedestrians on the streets at this moment.

In the past, I was used to every blade of grass and every tree here, but at this moment, there should have been a deep silence and coolness. The moonlight shone on the earth, as if covering it with a thin layer of frost, illuminating the surrounding scenery, but offering no warmth to anyone.

The rustling sound of the wind through the treetops, and the occasional passing of patrolling figures, added to the sense of loneliness.

I felt the wind, which should have been cold. But it wasn't so cold anymore, which surprised me!

Jin Luo, whose cultivation was the weakest, exclaimed in surprise, "Why don't I feel cold tonight? Could something have happened?" He unconsciously tightened his grip on the knife.

Wes was also surprised and looked around. Upon hearing this, Zhang Dazhuang, with his broadsword in hand and his eyes focused, his clothes fluttering even without wind, concentrated his mind, and a powerful aura quickly gathered, causing the surrounding air to whistle and whistle sharply.

Bi Fengxing was doing the same thing at this moment. He had his knife in his hand, and he gathered his true energy. After waiting for a while, there was nothing unusual about the surroundings.

Bi Fengxing said softly, "My lords, perhaps this is the purpose of building the city."

The group glanced around, listening quietly.

Bi Fengxing organized his thoughts and explained, "It is said that after a city is built, an invisible aura will be injected into it. It is this aura that will protect the people in the city from the intrusion of some evil spirits!"

No entry without permission. Unless specifically invited by the homeowner, the sound ghost is generally not allowed to enter!

If I'm not mistaken, although the city isn't fully completed yet, the city's aura is gradually forming. The faint, eerie winds are now unable to penetrate, making it feel much warmer.

With the establishment of cities, people had a place to live, unlike in the wild where wandering ghosts, wild beasts, and demons could invade at will. Now, the city's energy field blocked the entry of evil spirits, making people feel safer.

If there were a City God Temple, evil spirits would not dare to appear easily at night, and ordinary wandering ghosts would be captured. At that time, the night would probably be as bustling as the night markets in big cities.

For example, in the royal city, at night, the bustling streets are filled with colorful lights, including hexagonal palace lanterns, symbolizing fortune, prosperity, longevity, happiness, wealth, and health!

There are also various kinds of lanterns, such as flower lanterns or revolving lanterns, which are brightly lit and lively, making people linger and yearn for them!

Moreover, at night, various stalls are closely packed together, and some families who do some work during the day come out at night to supplement their income, selling everything from delicious snacks to all kinds of daily necessities!

There were also goods that were prohibited from being traded during the day, all kinds of items were available. Various aromas and vendors' cries mingled in the air, and there were also performers. The night was just as lively as the daytime, or even more so.

After listening, Jin Luo, Wei Si, and the others gradually lowered their guard, nodded slightly, and thanked him, saying, "Thank you for clearing up my doubts, General Bi."

Jin Luodao said, "There's a small inn ahead, a place to rest for the night. They have some noodles, soup noodles, or dumplings. Why don't you two go and have something to eat?"

Zhang Dazhuang and Bi Fengxing didn't stand on ceremony, saying, "Thank you!"

The four of them walked and talked as they went.

After a long and tiring journey, the family members can finally get a good night's sleep today. New house, new bed, new quilt, new furniture and new environment.

Comfortable and filled with good news, I drift off to sleep, washing away the dust and fatigue.

A soft voice came, "My lord, our child is asleep! Tomorrow you will be going to the camp, please take good care of yourself and return safely."

"I'm sorry to have troubled you so much at home, my wife," a deep, soft male voice said, as if afraid of waking their sleeping youngest child.

Then, a creaking sound came from the wooden board!

Mixed with the soft murmur of the breeze!

In Huangtu County, Gui San and Yang San were currently sorting out accounts. Gui San had been busy for half a day, but he was not tired at all. He had also worked hard all night yesterday.

A sigh escaped my lips; I felt a mix of shame and responsibility. At that moment, I realized I had taken on an even greater burden of duty.

Deep down, a tender feeling inevitably arises.

Gui San said to Yang San, "Tomorrow is an auspicious day. The City God's affairs must be arranged carefully; there can be no mistakes."

Yang San, having just rested for a while, immediately whispered, "Yes, I've already notified everyone in the city, and the county magistrate even sent someone to make a special trip."

Then he whispered, "My lord, I would also like to go with you, to follow behind you and handle some miscellaneous tasks."
