Lu Hanyan snorted coldly and continued on her way...
Without her command, the father-daughter pair of Wu Wei and Wu Xin could only remain kneeling, not daring to move an inch.
After a long while, Lu Hanyan's voice finally came from up ahead. "Next time, you die... Get up. Lead the way."
Wu Wei and his daughter let out another long sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from their faces.
They scrambled after Lu Hanyan, clambered back onto their warhorses, and offered a stream of apologies and pleas for mercy as their voices faded into the distance.
The procession from the City Lord's Mansion, including Lu Hanyan's Personal Guards, gradually departed from the main street in front of the Cheng Mansion.
Inside the Cheng Mansion, by the wall...
Lu Chao and Cheng Yunsu slowly rose to their feet. Cheng Yunsu asked in a low voice, "Why would Lu Hanyan suddenly come to a small place like Yangzhou City?"
