In the spacious carriage, a charcoal brazier burned, occasionally emitting a faint crackling sound.
A middle-aged man sat by the brazier, warming his hands over it.
Dujuan sat on the other side, holding a pair of tongs and roasting a sweet potato over the flames. A sweet aroma gradually permeated the carriage.

"That boy?"
"Yes."
"So, after the incident at Huaiya Academy, he didn't return to Green Willow Fortress."
"Yes, my Lord. Based on the intelligence from our informants in Qian State, it can be inferred that he likely led his men directly to Qian State immediately after the Huaiya Academy incident."
"Heh."
"My Lord, why would he do such a thing?"
