The diplomatic mission continued its journey. The distance from Luoyan City to the southern border was no longer great. However, to ransom Prince Si, the Emperor of Nanxin had ceded three small cities near Dongji to the Dongji empire. The Han family was currently stationed there, assisting Jun Chenyi in managing these three cities.
They were about to reach Liangzhou, where the Han Family Army and the Ten Thousand Serpents Valley were located. Upon returning to this place and gazing at the vast, rugged mountains before them, both Deng Youning and Li Tianzhuo were filled with deep emotion. Liangcheng was where their entire story had begun.
The General's Mansion of the Han family had formerly been the residence of the Liangcheng city governor. Unlike Dongji, Nanxin did not have a system of regional prefectures and counties; a single city governor managed all affairs within a city. Ever since the people of Dongji occupied the area, the original city governor had taken the vast majority of the inhabitants to live in other cities under Nanxin's control. Those Nanxin people who wished to remain in the city were required to renounce their nationality and become citizens of Dongji. These three cities were now populated almost entirely by migrants from Dongji. In less than two months, the Han Family Army had already made these cities feel increasingly like Dongji.
