Chang Lian pulled aside the curtain of his carriage and saw two horse-drawn carriages up ahead that looked like those of merchants on their way from the border. "Go ahead."
The occupants of the carriage quickly came forward to give thanks. Chang Lian did not dismount but merely drew back the curtain, received their respectful thanks, and said politely, "Everyone encounters difficulties from time to time. It is only right that we help each other, no need to mind."
The man standing outside the carriage had a long beard that covered most of his face. Rongchuan glanced at him and then lowered his head to continue reading; his third brother had the situation under control without his assistance.
The man outside the carriage was very tall and well-built. "Since the young master has put it that way, I'll be sure to thank you. If fate allows, we shall meet again."
