Qingzhou, Yu Yao Prefecture, Xia Guang City.
As the sun grew stronger, the city also began to bustle.
Along the streets, shops gradually opened, setting up their goods.
The city's market was the liveliest, with vendors carrying their loads, the greens at the vegetable stalls still wet with morning dew, and butchers slicing meat at their stalls. Pedestrians hurried along, some carrying baskets to buy vegetables, with various cries of vendors coming one after another.
Suddenly, a rush of horse hooves broke the peaceful scene as a messenger, clutching an urgent document, galloped toward Xia Guang City, whipping his horse to go faster.
The soldiers at the city gate quickly cleared the way for the entry of the common people, watching as the messenger sped past.
"What is this urgent order about? Could it be another conscription? Is the situation at the Southern Border so dire?"
