That night, the moon was high in the deep night.
During late autumn, the Southern Borderlands showed little sign of coolness, instead unusually muggy, with mushrooms growing wildly between the wall cracks, and tangled shrubs crowding the eaves.
Qin Jingde left Gaoliang Mountain, rushed through the night, and after entering the city on horseback, he returned home to remove his armor before hastily heading out again. It was already deep into the night; every household had long since bolted doors and windows, while the patrolling guards in the streets occasionally stopped Qin Jingde. However, he merely showed them the badge of the Iron Scale Army, and the guards instantly fell silent and made way.
Contrary to the common knowledge of the Central Plains students,
Nanwei has many horses.
Hence the Iron Scale Army.
