After entering the city.
It was already late.
As night deepened, the carriage was found to be empty.
The only one driving back to the city was a junior flagbearer, while Master had stayed outside the city.
Wasn't that just talking nonsense with the Liu Family?
Meng Lu felt somewhat speechless, and he gave the junior flagbearer another look.
"Do you recognize me?"
"My name is Lin Yan. I grew up in Linjiang Square, and I have heard of Colonel Meng's reputation."
"I see."
Meng Lu nodded slightly, then couldn't help but ask, "Why isn't Master in the carriage?"
"This trip was originally for paying respects to Venerate Huai, but Venerate Huai has gone missing."
Lin Yan spoke earnestly, "Master believes that Venerate Huai may have encountered misfortune, thus he stayed outside the city to search before nightfall."
Meng Lu paused, then asked, "What about after night falls?"
