Chen Ji gazed at the endless expanse of reed marshes. When the summer wind blew, the dense, lush reeds bowed like waves, producing an overwhelming rustling sound.
The sound was all-encompassing, drowning out everything else.
Chen Ji watched the small boat head south.
Jin Zhu comforted him beside him, saying, "Stop looking and let's go. The Jiefan Guard can set up an inescapable net within three days. Even if we let them go today, escaping will still be difficult."
Chen Ji acknowledged with a nod and turned his horse.
Jin Zhu looked at him several times, hesitating to speak.
Chen Ji turned his gaze in suspicion and asked, "Lord Jin Zhu, do you want to say something?"
Jin Zhu hesitated for a moment, "Have you been into the Jiefan Building before?"
Chen Ji was startled.
Jin Zhu sighed, "You really have been in there. No wonder you're chasing Lin Chaoqing like your life depends on it... Kid, do you remember what I told you?"
