News reached Huaxi Village that day while Feng Yun was by the lotus pond, watching Xu Sis teaching the villagers how to plant lotus roots.
The weather was warm, and the pondside was crowded with onlookers, men and women, young and old. They seemed unaffected by the war, their faces filled with joy, doing what they should do without ever neglecting the farming work...
Because under the Great Pagoda Tree in the village, there were constantly notices reminding of military, neighborhood, and village affairs.
As long as they followed instructions, they could do no wrong.
Unconsciously, Huaxi people became more reliant on Changmen...
And they became even more willing and obedient towards Feng Yun.
So, when the news of Zheng Shoushan's surrender came, the villagers' first thought was of Feng Yun.
"It's all thanks to the mistress's foresight with that coal delivery of two hundred thousand carts. If I were Zheng Shoushan, I would rather be delivering coal than stealing it..."
