"Thank you, General. It's still early now, so we won't go to the station. We'll head directly to the foot of the Yin Mountain and set up camp."
As she spoke, she glanced at Tang Xiaotong, her eyes filled not only with hope but also with an inexplicable complex gleam.
"Tong, I'm entrusting all my hopes to you. If there is news, please let me know as soon as possible."
"Hmm! You take care." Tang Xiaotong nodded solemnly, his eyes heavy with reluctance.
As the camel bells rang once more, Tang Xiaotong stood at the city gate, watching the delegation's backs gradually meld into the distant, desolate grassland.
He touched the prominent old scar on his wrist, bid farewell to Li Erniu, then turned and descended the city tower, mounted his horse, and headed towards Fufeng County...
At dusk, the continuous Yin Mountain Range loomed like a giant beast slumbering as it devoured the last ray of sunset.
