Yan Shen nodded blithely and immediately pulled out a wooden token, handing it to Su Rong.
Without hesitation, Su Rong took it and asked him, "How many men?"
Yan Shen whispered,"Three hundred covert guards."
Su Rong nodded and complimented him, "His Highness, the Fourth Prince, is indeed capable—quite a large number of men."
Yan Shen said nothing more.
Su Rong asked again, "Where are they now?"
"Outside the Eastern Palace, once you leave the palace gate, snap your fingers three times and show the token. They'll follow you," he said.
Su Rong was quite satisfied and turned to Yan Huisheng.
Yan Huisheng expressed his concern, "Are you sure you want to go now, leading these men yourself? I'll always worry about your safety. Shouldn't we make some preparations? I'm a precious and rare jewel, aren't you too?"
