320. Return to Licheng
Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li traveled at a relaxed pace, not just to protect the child in Ye Li's womb, but also to observe the people's livelihood in the various regions of Xiling now under the Mo Family Army's control. Though the usual journey by swift horse would take less than two weeks, they traveled slowly, and by the time they returned to Xiling, it was already November. November marked the arrival of cold weather not only in Xiling but in the entire northern region. In Licheng, located in the Northwest, two heavy snowfalls had already occurred. Xu Hong Yu had governed the area well, and the northwestern officials had also worked diligently. Thus, even though chaos reigned elsewhere, the people of the Northwest still lived in tranquility and comfort.
