After leaving Gan Province, the next few days of travel went smoothly without a hitch.
Lei Sitong deployed a cavalry of six hundred men to escort Yan Liqiang's party through the cities and counties. As expected, they didn't run into any other problems at all during the journey...

However, he noticed that Sun Bingchen was staring at him even deeper since then, and this made his heart race.
