Meng Qi nodded, "Yes, now is not the time for wild thoughts. Whether or not a fight breaks out, what they can do is to protect the family."
Meng Qi took a deep breath and looked up.
As he looked up, he realized they had been walking towards the county office all along.
Meng Qi was startled, "Brother, aren't we going to find someone? This direction leads to the county office."
His brother had been to the county office twice, right? Last time, after passing the exam, the county magistrate even invited them for a meal. Surely he couldn't have forgotten the way.
Yet, Meng Yunzheng nodded, "I know."
"Then..."
Meng Qi was still puzzled when he saw a patrol of soldiers approaching from the front.
He immediately shut his mouth, thinking of how to avoid them.
Unexpectedly, Meng Yunzheng went directly towards them. The patrol frowned and asked, "Who are you, and where are you going?"
"Brother Hong, do you remember me?"
