Otherwise, how could this new prefect dare to come to the Hundred Flowers Mansion without bringing a few thousand soldiers?
"Let him go."
Li Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Tell him, no one is born wanting to be a bandit; you only took up arms because you couldn't survive, and all you seek is a full meal.
If there were more good officials in the world, you wouldn't have to resort to this, so you won't kill him.
Hmm, use that as your reason."
"Yes, master."
The carriage passed by, paused briefly at a dark alley entrance, where the shadow swiftly darted down again. The carriage continued forward, slowly stopping at a somewhat lively tavern.
Li Xuan stepped off the carriage, and after only a few steps, two scholarly-looking men inside the tavern stood up, cupped their hands, and said, "Master Li."
Li Xuan looked over and saw that it was two familiar faces from when he first came to the Hundred Flowers Mansion and participated in the Yanzi Dock gathering.
