Ten days later.
North of Lingjiang City, Jiangdu.
As the capital of Jiangzhou and a hub of land and water transportation, Jiangdu is thriving, even in turbulent times.
On the long street, vendors of all sorts incessantly call out their wares. There are antiques, paintings, cosmetics, pawnshops, banks, restaurants, and tea houses, all dazzling to the eyes.
