In the mountain forest that should have been pitch-black, the glow of fire lit up the sky. Government soldiers stood every three steps, each holding a sharp weapon.
Yuan had waited for a long time and was getting anxious. In the blink of an eye, he saw a figure walking out of the woods, carrying someone in his arms. His appearance wasn't much different from when he had left, except that both of them looked completely drenched.
Attendants hurried forward to offer a cloak.
Yuan stepped up to ask for instructions.
Lu Xiu glanced at the crowd of people kneeling and wailing on the ground. "Raze it to the ground."
Yuan took the order and left.
Carrying Liang Wan, Lu Xiu headed straight for the carriage.
Liang Wan opened her eyes just a crack, wondering why he hadn't just ordered them all killed.
"Awan—"
Before they had taken more than a few steps, someone stumbled after them, only to be stopped by the government soldiers.
