Chapter 96: Immediate Capture
Leaving Pinecone Village, Chu Xun's pace was neither fast nor slow.
The Jing Kingdom was not the largest among the various countries, but thanks to the focus on the people's livelihood starting from the era of Emperor Taizu, the population had continuously increased over those decades.
Villages were distributed like scattered starlight.
Unless one ran to remote mountain forests, one would definitely see a village within a hundred miles.
Large and small, well-proportioned and orderly.
With a sword in hand, Chu Xun soon arrived at the Songliu Water God Temple.
There hadn't been a flood for many years, and the dozen or so flood discharge channels were piled up with silt, some already covered.
A small portion remained with less than half their height.
The commoners lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the number of people coming to the Water God Temple to offer sacrifices was actually more than before.
