After finishing their business, that group of riders left.
They rode off in the direction that everyone had come from.
As the sound of hooves faded into the distance, the crowd breathed a sigh of relief and then burst into cheers.
"Great, we've arrived in Tabei Prefecture!"
"Hahaha, finally this life of fleeing like refugees is coming to an end!"
Everyone was so excited that they were jumping around.
The eyes of the elders turned red, and the women's tears began to fall.
Though on this journey no one went hungry or thirsty, and we even gained something, yet everyone still longed to settle down.
After a while, everyone's emotions finally started to calm down.
But no one felt sleepy, even the children who were nodding off didn't want to lie down, and instead nestled in their mothers' arms, yawning and trying hard to keep their sticky eyelids open to listen to the adults speak.
Someone remarked, "Could the group that just passed be people of the Northern Garrison General?"
