Peace Order

Go to the highest Holy Mountain in the Western Regions to see the place where Emperor Qin led his army to break the city and cast the cauldron.

Personally reach out and touch the vast and ancient, ruggedly shaped Western Regions grand cauldron.

Again at the borderland between the grassland and the Western Regions, see the desert like a long river, the red sun setting, with steaming clouds billowing like boiling water. After sunset, a bright moon illuminates the four directions, making the entire desert reflect a faint silver light like silver, emitting a cold aura.

Until the end.

Riding the Divine Eagle Auspicious, sweeping over the sea of clouds in the sky, seeing the great sun rising, the rosy clouds surging, a magnificent spectacle, within a day, nearly glimpsed the prosperous scenery of this world. Xue Shuangtao was in excellent spirits, but at this moment was also somewhat fatigued.

Li Guanyi chuckled lightly, "Then let’s go back and have a look."

With a thought, the Divine Eagle Auspicious sensed Li Guanyi’s intent, folded its wings, and like an arrow, pierced the air, tearing through the sea of clouds. By the time it stabilized, they could already see the city gates of Guan Yi City.

The Flying Eagle couldn’t just descend grandly from the sky. Such a huge auspicious Divine Beast, just its appearance alone is extremely terrifying, surely it would give the populace a scare. It landed on a mountain outside the city, and Li Guanyi and Xue Shuangtao dismounted, strolling and chatting leisurely, entering Guan Yi City.

Guan Yi City is quite a distance from the original eighteen states of Jiangnan.

Today’s grand wedding, the ceremony naturally takes place in Jiangnan, and many of the Xue Family have already arrived at the Jiangnan villa waiting. Here, there’s no worry about running into familiar faces, as Li Guanyi and Xue Shuangtao strolled forward.

The green-robed woman walking along the road couldn’t help but chuckle.

Li Guanyi said, "What are you laughing at?"

Xue Shuangtao said, "You should ask, what am I thinking about."

Li Guanyi smiled, "Then, Miss, what are you thinking about?"

Xue Shuangtao clasped her hands behind her back, her fingers white and gently raised, brushing over the drooping green branches on the roadside, and said, "I thought of more than ten years ago, when Brother Yue and the others wanted to rescue General Yue and get Elder Zu into the city."

"Brother Yue then gathered many fugitives, forcing them to assault the city defenses."

"That was the time when Master Wen Zhongzi was recruiting disciples to live in his inner chamber, and the children of the families near Guan Yi City were holding cultural and martial contests here. But at that time, many children of distinguished families prided themselves on being both cultured and martial, yet only you dared to rush out."

"Back then, you hadn’t even entered the realm yet, and still had such courage."

Li Guanyi said, "Elder Xue and Brother Yue were both very good to me. Since I knew it was just a misunderstanding between them, without any reason to be enemies, I certainly couldn’t just watch them fight to the death."

Xue Shuangtao laughed, "There’s always truth in what you say."

"And the last time..."

The spring light was faint, just at the time of sunrise.

There were people from villages outside the city, hurrying to Guan Yi City, the road still covered with cold dew, with a chill in the air. The green-robed woman and the blue-robed ranger walked shoulder to shoulder, chatting about things from their youth.

Upon entering the city, the woman suddenly became interested and laughed, "It was right here where the other family’s young ladies invited me to a ladies’ literary meeting, but you just dragged me away."

"I remember back then, there was also a small market, with merchants selling Western Region dates, children, craftsmen, and street performers. Ah, from that day until now, it’s been more than ten years since I’ve seen such a bustling market or tasted such delicious hot soup."

Li Guanyi smiled, "Since you miss those times, let’s go take a look today."

The two of them slowly and leisurely walked forward, like an ordinary pair of martial world knights.

Going to that tree, although it hadn’t rained, there was still a small market, a spontaneous barter market held by the people. After the founding of Great Qin, these activities were not strictly regulated, only encouraged as long as order was maintained.

Today is not the first or fifteenth market day, just an ordinary one.

There were only a dozen or so stalls, mostly selling small trinkets and some everyday useful tools. However, even on such a typical day in Guan Yi City’s market, there were special products from the Northern regions, Western Regions, Southwest, and other places.

Leathers from the Western Regions and grasslands, silk from the Southwest.

Ceramics from the Central Plains Northern regions.

And other places’ exquisite trinkets and different kinds of tea. From people’s conversations, it was learned that a trade caravan had arrived in Guan Yi City, bringing so many special products from other places.

Today, the caravan leader was here opening a stall.

Li Guanyi looked at an ox-horn comb, polished smoothly, with a pleasant texture, wanting to ask the caravan leader, but slightly paused. Next to the largest stall, a young man was sitting cross-legged, not particularly handsome but with a sense of determination and familiarity.

Wearing a brown strong outfit, iron bracers, with two swords hanging from his waist, he wasn’t very old, just in his early twenties, yet his martial arts were already at the Third Layer Heaven. For a martial world ranger, at such an age and with this level of skill, he was exceptionally outstanding.

"Is the guest interested in buying this comb? It is crafted by herders from the Western Regions, with an ancient and simple technique, particularly effective against dandruff, if you want it..."

The caravan leader began speaking with a smile, then paused.

The young man hesitated, looked at Li Guanyi, then at the green-robed woman, and sprang up like a Mo Family mechanism had been triggered, blurting out, "Taoist Li, Manager Xue?!!"
