Chapter 802: Coming Home (Part I)

The winter was cold and windy.

As the tension was released, the refugees were relocated. People living in the Southern City were working hard to rebuild their homeland.

Hundreds of Tang soldiers were passing by along the road. Judging from their armor and weapons, they were likely to be from the garrison troops. Seeing them, people would put down their tools and encourage them. Some of them would shout, "Come on, Chang'an is close."

The soldiers would nod and move on. The applause would stop soon after. Since the imperial court was unable to increase the relief efforts, they had to help themselves out to pull through the winter. At least, they had to mend the houses.

Behind the Tang Army's procession there were several carriages. People assumed they were southern officials and paid no attention to them. They would never believe that these people in the carriages had, in a sense, saved the country.
