The originally clear weather turned cloudy with impending wind and rain after the team left Feiyan Town.
Chang'an thought of the last assassination attempt and advised Mai Fei to cancel today's trip to the mine, fearing another accident.
Nian Jincheng looked up at the sky, "Your Highness, let's go another day. I will escort you back to town."
"Yes, Master! If it rains heavily, we won't be able to see the workers at the mine!" Chang'an said.
"Forget it, let's go back." Mai Fei's voice came from inside the carriage. Nian Jincheng ordered the team to turn around and head back to the county town.
As soon as they returned to Feiyan Town, raindrops the size of soybeans began to fall. Against the wind, the horses struggled to move forward, and the carriage couldn't block the rain.
Nian Jincheng ordered a stop outside the Feiyan Restaurant. He escorted Mai Fei inside to take shelter from the rain and wait for it to subside.
