In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated through the window and illuminated the bed, Gu Yang suddenly opened his eyes and looked out the window, his brow furrowed, "Could it be the people from the Liu family have caught up? How did they get here so quickly?"
This was their fourth day since leaving Tianshui City. They spent last night in a small town, lodging at a local's home.
Once they had left the Lian Mountain range, there were signs of human habitation everywhere, one village after another. No longer were they eating in the open and sleeping under the stars as they did before.
Just now, he had heard the sound of horse hooves entering the town and was instantly on alert.
According to the many simulations he had performed before, it would be a year before the Liu family knew that Su Qingzhen was in Ba County and sent people to fetch her.
And the swordsman dispatched by the Lin family should not have appeared until tomorrow.
