When the people of Great Xia heard the name Su Yan, their faces immediately brightened with a sense of shared pride. They knew him well, especially those living in the border regions who had long suffered from the harassment of the Northern people. Some had even lost family members at the hands of Northern invaders. It wasn't until Su Yan arrived that the Northern people were driven out, leaving behind only those who came to conduct legitimate business.
Some time ago, when they heard Su Yan had left and that the region no longer required his protection, they had felt a wave of anxiety. Although nothing untoward had happened recently, rumors suggested that peace was only being maintained because chaos had broken out within the Northern cities themselves. Whether in Yunhai or Yunjing, the tracks of Northern people were everywhere, and they had committed many atrocities against ordinary citizens. It was precisely because of this that Su Yan felt the Northern people had not changed at all; they could not simply be left to their own devices. Now, he had begun to deal with them, determined to make them pay the price.
The people of Great Xia felt fortunate, yet they also believed the Northern people’s actions had gone too far and deserved a harsh lesson. If this continued, how could ordinary people possibly avoid being targeted by these sneakily malicious individuals?
