The city gate of Changping County opened.
The Spy Department and Jiefan Guard galloped westward, leaving only a few dozen people lurking in the county to continue searching for traces of Chen Ji.
As for Liao Zhong, he seemed forgotten, neither Wu Xuange nor Xuan Snake showed much interest in him.
In a civilian house within Gongji Square, Changping County, the man of the household had just started a fire in the stove.
In the main hall, a three or four-year-old child sat on a small, low stool, eagerly watching the stove room, while the woman sat on a chair behind him, smiling warmly as she tidied his hair.
The child smelled the fragrance wafting from the stove room and blinked his bright eyes: "Dad, I'm hungry, I want some sugar."
The man laughed loudly from the stove room: "Lord Zao has already left, where would there be sugar left? Ping Er, wait a moment, dinner will be ready soon..."
