New Yu Era, Year 1332, October 26
In Xiapi County, contrary to the raging storms of Longxiang County, the sky here is clear and cloudless. The sunlight is not particularly intense, yet strangely, the earth has already cracked in layers, countless lakes and rivers have dried up and ceased to flow, and the vegetation on the surface has withered in large patches. Not to mention crops, even the growth of weeds is very concerning.
On the streets of the Prefectural City, there are hardly any pedestrians. Considering the high temperature outside the city, it is even higher within the densely populated and built-up area of the Prefectural City. Naturally, people do not dare to go out and all hide at home, figuring out ways to beat the heat.
Unlike the quiet streets, in the City Lord's Mansion of Xiapi, two groups of people are arguing fiercely. The City Lord, Cao Keyuan, sits above, his face sullen as he listens to the debate.
