The news of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry breaking into the border spread like wildfire, fermenting faster than expected!
The news reached Jingguan City by noon and spread through inns and taverns by afternoon, causing a flurry of shock as rumors flew everywhere.
In the late afternoon, the setting sun hung obliquely on the western mountains, dyeing the horizon in a somber orange hue, like charcoal fire having lost its warmth, leaving only embers flickering weakly behind the clouds, illuminating the Jingguan below.
As the sky darkened, in the Northern City, a tavern called Hui Cui Building, a private room on the second floor, an unfamiliar voice sounded,
"Now that Beiliang breaks into the border, the situation in Jingguan is as precarious as a pile of eggs, and I'm afraid it will soon trigger a chain reaction. Brother Yue, remind everyone to make plans early!"
