Two orderlies jumped off their horses and immediately ran to report to General Li: "The Chief Steward divided the troops into two groups. One went to cut off the Western Turkic route, and the other returned to Wang City in Kucha. They will arrive early tomorrow morning..."
Keke relayed this to Manbao.
Manbao breathed a sigh of relief and ran off to find Bai Shan.
Bai Shan was standing by the window, looking at the street below. Hearing the commotion, he turned around and smiled slightly, asking, "Any news?"
Manbao nodded vigorously, squinting her eyes and beaming at him.
Bai Shan understood. He also smiled slightly and didn't ask for specific news, instead extending his hand to her.
Manbao placed her hand in his, and the two stood shoulder to shoulder, looking at the street below from the inn.
Though they had just experienced war, the street below had already come back to life, bustling with many stalls selling various foods.
