The Luo River, hugged by towering city walls, flowed eastward, with ships bustling about at the ferry dock as the steps of trade caravans never ceased, even during wartime.
In mid-November, the cold winds had begun to blow – it was chilly and crisp with splendid sunshine, and not a cloud could be seen in the sky above Luodu City. It was indeed fine weather.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud gong, the entire Luo River ferry dock erupted into a hubbub.
Countless ships, both large and small, had already been moored, with wide, sturdy planks laid out to the shore. Those who could count tallied goods while the laborers heaved large and small boxes with exertion.
