Dongshan Official Post.
A refreshed Marquis Wu'an, Qingye, returned to the post. As the commanding general of Juxu Pass and also a grand general marquis, he naturally did not need to stay in an inn while traveling.
The government's station was the best and didn't require any expense from him, as all necessities were provided by the court.
Of course, there was a special mission within the team this time, and staying at the official post was safer. Camping outdoors would be another matter altogether.
"This humble official, Prefect Pei Jian of Dongshan Prefecture, greets the Marquis!" Pei Jian came in person to visit immediately upon learning of Qingye's arrival.
However, as soon as Qingye arrived in Dongshan Prefecture, he left without mentioning his destination to his personal guards, leaving Pei Jian to wait in anticipation all afternoon at the post.
It was already evening by the time he returned.
