The crowd in the main hall waited for a long time, but the tavern doors remained closed. Meanwhile, the sound of fighting outside grew weaker and weaker until it eventually ceased altogether.
Outside suddenly became calm and peaceful, as if the unsettling noises earlier were merely their illusion.
Chen Hu waited for a while and couldn't help but whisper to Xu Jing, "Miss Xu, should we send someone outside to check the situation..."
Before he could finish speaking, the tavern door suddenly swung open. Upon seeing the familiar figure standing outside, Xu Jing was momentarily stunned. In the next second, a wave of surprise and relief surged through her heart.
The visitor was none other than Xiao He!
It seems the imperial reinforcement finally arrived.
It was only then that Xu Jing realized it was already dark outside; they had been waiting in this hall for an entire day.
