At sunset, Fengyu's entourage set up camp by the small river to rest.
On the way from West Continent to Tongzhou, there were many large and small important towns. Some had relocated into West State City, while others, attached to their homeland, could not bear to leave and continued to live in the towns. Without bandit disturbances, the villages and towns outside the city depended on the mountains and rivers for sustenance, and life, though modest, was tolerable.
Nuanyang and a few soldiers caught several plump river fish. Fengyu enjoyed a bowl of fresh fish soup at dinner. After settling in the soldiers, Nuanyang came over to discuss matters regarding Tongzhou with Fengyu.
Xie Xun had yet to send any message; it was Nuanyang who sent people ahead to gather information.
