Northern Cang Dignitary, Marriage Alliance

Under the protection of their escorts, two carriages slowly came to a stop at the entrance to the Northern Cang Stronghold for inspection.

Compared with before, this entry inspection was undoubtedly much stricter.

The Northern Cang Rebellion had had an extremely vile impact. Many people had yet to emerge from its shadow.

The necessary procedures were naturally handled by their subordinates. Shui Furong enjoyed no small reputation in the Northern Cang Stronghold. With her inside the carriage, entry into the stronghold proceeded exceptionally smoothly.

As the carriage entered the Northern Cang Stronghold, Chen Ping'an looked through the window at the scenery lining both sides of the street.

It felt as though he had only just left the Northern Cang Stronghold, yet here he was again! This time, however, quite a few changes had taken place within the stronghold.

Many damaged areas along the streets had already been repaired. Buildings on both sides that had suffered considerable damage were also being restored. As for collapsed structures, reconstruction seemed to be underway.

Compared to the period of the North Azure Auction, the stronghold was far less bustling, but overall, it was still quite prosperous.

It was clear that after the unrest, the North Azure Town Pacification Office had thought of many ways to address things.

Under the curious gazes of passersby along the way, the carriage traveled slowly into the heart of the stronghold before finally stopping before a magnificent yet distinctive building.

"Lord Chen, we're here!"

Shui Furong stepped gracefully down from her carriage, walked over to Chen Ping'an's, and spoke with a beaming smile.

As a guard bent down and drew aside the curtain, Chen Ping'an slowly stepped out of the carriage.

Chen Ping'an calmly raised his head. Several large characters were written upon the plaque hanging before the building.
