Chapter 415: Chapter 416: Fascinating & Ye Ge’s Chase_1

Nan Feng stayed a total of three days in Wanjin County, but she only rested at the inn during the night. The rest of the time, she was out and about, bustling and visiting.

Luckily, Wanjin County was rather entertaining. There was a unique kind of rice noodle here called Wanjin noodles. These noodles were ground from a millstone into a large sheet as thin as cicada wings, then cut into strips. After some condiments were mixed in, the noodles tasted refreshing and pleasantly smooth.

Besides Wanjin noodles, there was a snack street next to the inn where she was staying. With spicy and sour noodles and river snail noodles, Nan Feng hardly ate any main dishes, rather, she had been eating snacks for two days.

She thought it would be much more fun if her brother Ye was here.

...

The Provincial City.

Outside the city gate, civil officials and military officers formed separate lines to welcome the slowly approaching chariot convoy in the distance.

The occupant of that chariot was the "dignitary" referred to by the prefect.

For his arrival, the prefect had summoned all the officials within the prefecture.

Brother Ye was also there. He had come up yesterday with County Magistrate Song as a bodyguard. He had to stand in the last row with the bodyguards of the other officials.

The chariot of the "dignitary," with its red and yellow blended colors, came closer. The officials in front bowed to the chariot, the guards behind made a semi-bow, while some groomsmen kneeled, demonstrating that the status of each rank was below the previous one.

"Hey, why are you standing still? Hurry up and pay your respects!" Another bodyguard from a different county nudged Brother Ye. He then slightly bowed his body, but he kept his head up, looking at the chariot.

His hand that gripped the sword was showing bulging veins, seeming as if his sword might fly out at any moment. He had to control himself!

Especially when he saw the man inside the chariot, his hands started to shake. An intense killing intent filled his eyes, hidden under his bushy brows. PLUS he was wearing a fake skin mask, making his face seem more terrifying. If someone in front hadn’t shouted, "Welcome Lord Qin to Su Prefecture," Brother Ye might have already leaped forward and started a massacre.

To control himself, Brother Ye had to bow his head and not look at that black figure.

...

As night fell, the posthouse in the provincial city was quiet. The accommodation was mostly occupied by officials from various counties, and they usually had to work on their books and documents before bed. So although the posthouse had become quiet, there were lights visible in every window.

In one of the rooms, a figure dressed in black and with his face covered walked over to the table and softly called, "My Lord, Master Song?"

No response.

The censer on the table smoldered with residual incense. Incense with a drowsy effect had been added to it, so Song Cheng was completely unconscious.

Ensuring that Song Cheng had passed out, Brother Ye jumped out the window and disappeared into the night in no time.

...

The prefecture.

A black figure slowly landed on a rooftop.

He lifted the roof tiles, then leaned over to look at the figure in the room below. That man had taken off his robe and was standing in front of the table, polishing a bright yellow knife, utterly absorbed.

The man on the roof gripped hard the knife in his hand

Whether it was out of excessive force or not, the hilt of the knife hit the sheath and made a ’crack’ sound. The man in the room was startled and shouted loudly, "Who’s there!"

As soon as his voice fell, several bodyguards rushed in, "Sir, what happened?"

"Some weird noise came from somewhere. You guys go check it out!" the dignitary ordered.

These bodyguards were all elite fighters. While two stayed in the room, the others climbed up to the rooftop or searched the yard. But after their exploration, they found nothing.

The bodyguards returned to the room, "Sir, we didn’t find anyone suspicious."
