Once again he had shaken off his pursuers; Li Guanyi was close to the Imperial Path when he heard the sound of something tearing through the air.
It was a crossbow arrow, but Li Guanyi did not dodge, for the arrow struck the ground in front of him, most of it embedded in the earth, cracking the bricks and stones. Li Guanyi slowly looked up to see the person approaching down the Imperial Path.
It was Ye Buyi.
This young military officer was gripping his battle sword tightly, his body still bore injuries as he stared intently at Li Guanyi, his right hand gripping his weapon so tightly that his knuckles protruded. At this moment, he had guessed some of Li Guanyi's background, and he clenched his teeth to keep his voice from trembling.
But his voice still sounded like a deep wind, determined yet halting, he said:
"You are from General Yue's lineage."
"Yue Qianfeng, who knows you."
