Clip-clop, clip-clop~
The sound of galloping horse hooves was urgent.
A tall steed charged forth from the south.
The rider upon the horse was none other than the Prefectural Governor Luo Lifu.
Soon, the fast horse rushed forward and stopped outside the South Gate of Yulan County.
Luo Lifu raised his head to gaze at the city shrouded in grey mist, a deep wariness flashing through his eyes.
Before, he had been unable to approach Yulan County, but now he had managed to reach the city walls.
Yet, it was unknown whether this change was due to some upheaval in Yulan County, or if Ye Zixuan had made some move.
Luo Lifu looked around and cast his eyes toward a large tree not far off before dismounting from his horse.
"Judge Ye, this official offers his respects."
Luo Lifu approached Bai Niu, bowing with a respectful demeanor.
Ye Zixuan sat on the ground, leaning against the bull's back.
