After more than 15 days, each passing day made everyone feel even more worried.
With each passing day, the chances of those missing people coming back became lower.
Every day, there was somebody guarding a mountain pass that was one day's journey away. Those coming back had to travel through this pass, but no news had been received.
Gradually, even Ren Baqian was unable to laugh.
Although Lin Qiaole only knew how to eat and sleep, she was still an interesting girl in her own way.
She had accompanied him up to the north and down to the south, escorting him to Zi City as well as to Tianjing Basin. She didn't contribute much, but she had followed him for a long time. Besides the empress and a few of the guards by his side, Lin Qiaole was by his side the most.
If her life ended here, even Ren Baqian, who had gone through life and death so many times that he was blase about it, would feel regret.
