"You don't want to leave?"
The woman in black scrutinized Chen Ji.
It was her first time in years seeing Chen Ji up close, just a step away.
Under the young man's bamboo hat were serene eyes, and brows as sharp as swords. His nose was thin but high, and beneath his rolled-up sleeves were wrists and hands with distinct veins.
This wasn't the kid who used to just follow behind her.
The person was Mrs. Lu.
At this moment, Chen Ji looked at her, she averted her gaze, speaking without a ripple in her voice, "Over a hundred from the Jiefan Guard and the Spy Department have arrived, and tonight they're determined to turn Changping County upside down. They'll start searching from the north of the city and will finish this not-so-small Changping County before dawn."
"The Jiefan Guard has a camp with soldiers five li away. If they don't find you tonight, they'll bring in those 500 troops to search a second time tomorrow."
