Anping Prefecture, Liu family.
In a dark room, Liu Chengxiong was shrouded in darkness. After an indeterminate time, he slowly opened his mouth.
"How much longer before the Forbidden Place of Blessing opens again?"
"Responding to the Master, it will be three days more." The steward serving by his side respectfully answered.
Liu Chengxiong asked again: "Has there been any action from the Prefect?"
The steward replied: "The Prefect has remained in the Yamen (government office) all this time. He has not made any movements."
"What about the people from the Six Gates and Thousands of Households?"
"The people of Six Gates have been as calm as usual, showing no signs of action." The steward thought for a moment and responded. It seemed as though he had remembered something else, and added: "However, it seems a hundred households from Thousands of Households have been ordered by the millennium household to go to West Capital yesterday. I'm unsure of the reason."
