The streets were busy with carriages and horses. On the second floor of a tavern, many people were sitting and drinking with one another.
Near a window, a young man in a green shirt sat alone. On his table were a small pot of wine, three small dishes of food, and a saber. The youth gazed at the scene outside, drinking by himself.
The scenery in Jincheng is very different from Guangyuan Prefecture and the Capital City, Shen Changqing remarked to himself.
He observed the hustle and bustle outside, noting that everyone's attire differed somewhat from what he had seen before. Moreover, the Great Wilderness Prefecture had a dry and hot climate, which made the skin of its inhabitants dry and sallow, unlike the delicate and fair complexions of people from other places.
This was his first day in Jincheng.
After receiving his mission, Shen Changqing had packed simply and then set off for the Great Wilderness Prefecture.
