763: The Weakness of the Mother and Child Ghost Temples!

"Things have changed..."

On the streets of Capital City, Mu Hongqing and his companion led their horses, looking around. The street was eerily quiet, a stark contrast to their past memories. The Imperial City, although dry and cold, was once the heart of the dynasty. Merchants from all over the country flocked here, making the morning market extremely bustling. At this time in the past, vendors selling breakfast would have already been running around with their carts; unlike now, it's so deserted that not a single person can be seen down the entire street.

Only a few inns had their lights on.
