Li Xiang was naturally supportive of her desire to learn.
The Northern Laos Border was just over 2,200 kilometers from the Imperial Capital. Li Xiang's cruising speed was 2.5 Mach, or 3,060 kilometers per hour. Even though he was carrying a girl, Jiang Cai'Er weighed barely a hundred pounds. With Li Xiang's Giant Power of one hundred thousand jin, she felt as light as a feather in his arms, not affecting his speed in the slightest.
In about forty minutes, the two arrived in the Imperial Capital. After a nighttime tour of the Capital City, Jiang Cai'Er mentioned she wanted to see the flag-raising ceremony.
The best place to watch the flag-raising ceremony was, of course, from the Tiananmen City Tower. However, the flag was typically raised shortly after 6:00 AM, while the Tiananmen City Tower didn't open until 8:30 AM. This meant it was impossible to get up there through normal means. The next best spot, then, was around the flagpole.
