The small Yanmen City, having gone through a great battle, naturally lay in ruins.
However, the townspeople showed resilience; even the city gate, which was severely damaged, was repaired in no time. Soon, the roofs and walls shattered by the arrows of the Turkic soldiers were covered with new bricks and tiles, and the blood-soaked city walls were doused with barrels of water to clean them. Even the faces filled with panic gradually calmed down, adorned with a new expression.
Shang Ruyi, not wishing to return, asked Tushere to accompany her to explore the city. To her surprise, Yanmen County, battered by warfare, had recovered so quickly.
Tushere commented, "How strange that after just completing a battle, everyone seems to be energized."
She turned to Shang Ruyi, asking, "Miss, do you know why?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi gently shook her head.
Seeing her still somewhat forlorn, Tushere quickly supported her, "Miss, is your wound still hurting?"
"..."
