When Li Changhe returned to the well, he discovered a strange change in the water level.
As he climbed out, he saw a group of Chenhai soldiers shivering and huddling around a fire for warmth in the courtyard.
They were clearly severely frozen.
Among them, Li Changhe also noticed a few warriors with bruised and swollen faces.
Particularly Yang Ming and the Thousand Cattle Guard soldier, Wu Jie.
How they managed to get their faces so bruised and swollen was anyone's guess, but it was severe.
Theoretically, with their helmets on, the armored warriors shouldn't have been able to injure their faces.
And the courtyard was damp, as if a torrential rain had just passed through.
"What happened to you all..." Li Changhe approached with surprise and asked, "What's going on? Did you encounter water ghosts on your way back? That shouldn't be, they should have been scared witless by now."
