Chapter 203
As time flies, a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

The scorching sun felt like a fiery roast, yet despite the heat, various groups of people still treaded on the imperial road. They traveled in squads, some on horseback, some in carriages, and some on foot. They wore silk robes, hemp clothes, and even straw sandals.
Old Zhang had a tea stall by the roadside. The Imperial Martial Examination was about to begin, so martial practitioners from all over the Empire would soon rush to the Capital City. With the constant flow of people on the road, business was booming.
"Three honored guests, here are your tea and a plate of cooked meat. Please enjoy."
