"As for this period, to be cautious, I haven't contacted them. However, through our covert investigation, we've uncovered something peculiar."
"Oh?" Zhao Douan raised an eyebrow.
The sickly scholar was about to speak when suddenly the eyelids of Jin Jian, who was slumped in the chair and drowsy, snapped open with a "pop", as if startled, and looked outside.
Then, Ji Yue, Lang Shiba, and Gongshu Tianyuan all looked toward the outside with expressions of shock, almost simultaneously.
"The sound of hooves... and swords... many people... are coming this way, surrounding the inn." The drunkard Lang Shiba suddenly spoke, his eyes sharp, the former Assistant General of Jubei City took a brisk step to the corner of the room, opened a crack in the window, and said in a deep voice.
Surrounding the inn? Swords? Zhao Douan was stunned and looked at the scholar and Hong Ye in shock.
The two Gold Shadow Guards were equally bewildered, not understanding what was happening.
