This had indeed gone abnormally smoothly.
"Where are they?"
"They left about an hour ago. They're probably on their way back to Huangjing County now."
"What are their names? Are they who they say they are?"
"The man leading them was named Chen Guan, the Registration Official from Huangjing County. I've met him several times; his identity is definitely real. It's my fault, all my fault. How could I not have seen this coming?"
"Hmph!"
Kan Luotang immediately mounted her horse. Before bringing her whip down, she glanced at the Li Zheng's regretful face and quickly said, "Don't blame yourself. This matter isn't your fault."
With that, she whipped her horse into a gallop and sped toward Huangjing County.
「An hour later.」
She finally arrived at the gates of Huangjing County.
The city gate guards all recognized her and let her pass without making her dismount.
