When they returned to the Capital City, it was just in time for the Spring Festival.
There had already been a stop to the snow in Chang'an when they left, but upon arriving in the Capital, there was a light snow falling. It wasn't much, and everywhere children were running around wearing adorable tiger-head felt hats, building snowmen in the snow, while the sound of fireworks could be heard all around, creating a festive atmosphere.
The three of them did not disturb the city's defenses; instead, they chose a secluded place from the sky to land, leading their horses through the Capital City while smiling and observing its scenery.
It had been some time since their last visit to the Capital. Back when Lu Jianzhang and his cohort met their demise, the Capital was rather deserted, but now it was beginning to show signs of spring warmth and revival. Although it was still not as prosperous as Chang'an, it was, at least, starting to display some liveliness.
