The group left the tavern, and indeed, three small sedans were waiting in front of the tavern.
The sedan bearers were not from the local sedan service, but attendants from Kong Tixin's county government.
After assisting Xia Wenjin into a sedan, Kong Tixin thoughtfully said, "Miss Xia might not handle her drink well. Rest nicely at the inn, I won't see you off!"
He lowered the sedan curtain and spoke to the bearers, "Take Miss Xia to the inn, steady on the road!"
Though speaking, he gave the sedan bearers a look. These bearers were arranged by him early on, naturally understanding his gesture.
Afterward, he confidently saw Yu Shikui into a sedan and got into his own.
The sedan swayed as it moved, but after a while, it was yet to reach the destination. From inside, Xia Wenjin's drowsy voice came, "Why haven't we arrived at the inn yet?"
A bearer's voice responded from outside, "Doctor Xia, we fear jolting you, so we are going slow. Since you are in a hurry, we'll go faster!"
