"Prime Minister coming here, I must say I'm rather surprised!"
Fu Zhengqing's expression remained unchanged, and the middle-aged man at this point also withdrew his hopeful look, returning to his earlier blank stare.
Because of Fu Zhengqing's arrival, his heart had finally settled down.
"Out on an autumn outing, I didn't expect to encounter Governor Ye in a place like this!"
The group of officials behind Fu Zhengqing, upon seeing Ye Liuyun, all instinctively edged back behind Fu Zhengqing.
Clearly, none of them had expected to run into Ye Liuyun here.
They had just been hoping to latch onto Fu Zhengqing, so they'd tagged along for the autumn outing—and with Fu Zhengqing leading, ended up in Lishui City.
"Speaking of which, wasn't it said there was a rebellion in Lishui City some time ago? From the looks of it, Governor Ye has already put it down!"
Fu Zhengqing looked perfectly at ease.
