If it weren't for General Gu in charge, Shawan County would probably be in its current state.
Merchants are the first to suffer in times of chaos.
Ji Zixuan whispered to Lin Jinyue, "If the situation really gets bad, my grandfather has found a small island that can house quite a few people."
"If we can't handle the Li family this time, we'll head over ahead of schedule."

She noticed that people from Lingnan didn't seem to eat seafood very well, so she could arrange a seafood dipping sauce.
Other dishes can be chosen freely.
