By the time they reached the county city gate, dawn was just breaking.
As soon as the gate opened, they drove the carriage back to "Kechanglai".
Yuanbao was extremely surprised to see Xie Zhinuan, "I thought it wouldn't be until evening that you would arrive, I didn't expect you to come so quickly!"
Thinking that his master would soon leave, Yuanbao pressed his lips together slightly.
"What's wrong?" Xie Zhinuan, sharp-eyed, noticed Yuanbao's hesitation.
Yuanbao pulled Xie Zhinuan aside, "An urgent letter came from the Frontier Pass. The brave Great General has sustained serious injuries and has been poisoned and fell into a coma. The medicines my brother sent haven't arrived yet. His Highness was thinking, he'd speak with you for a moment as soon as you returned, and then leave immediately. Now that you're back, I'm afraid he might leave in a while!"
"Is he waiting for the carriage?" Xie Zhinuan asked.
Yuanbao nodded.
