The rain poured relentlessly, forcing Xie Xun and the large army to halt and camp temporarily. Lin Helin was tied up inside a tent, which could only provide shelter from the wind and rain. In the rush to set up camp, there hadn't been time to clean properly, and the ground was covered in streams of water.
Lin Helin had a glib tongue capable of talking his way out of anything. Xie Xun feared he might trick someone, yet leaving him alone in the tent wasn't an option either—if he escaped, it would be troublesome. Therefore, Fengyu and Nuanyang were tasked with keeping an eye on him. Xie Xun had many military affairs to attend to and couldn't personally monitor Lin Helin in the tent at all times, but he trusted Fengyu.
