Astride his horse, Zheng Fan appeared carefree and languid. If not for the armor forcibly propping him up, he might have collapsed into a heap of mud.
The five centurions behind Zheng Fan all wore bitter expressions, radiating anxiety and fear. They felt as if they had been sold into a brothel on their first day, utterly unwilling.
In Blind Bei's "Hindsight Letter," he had once mentioned that Zheng Fan must maintain a high profile after their operation in Mei Village to secure his own position. He must not bow his head or concede. As long as he remained high-profile, no one would dare to provoke or investigate him! However, if he showed any sign of guilt or weakness, endless troubles would follow.
Finally, in the letter, Blind Bei also stated that if the situation were to become unmanageable, my lord must protect Siniang, that weak woman, and evacuate Hutou City immediately!
