Lu Yuan then called over a confidant and said, "Go make preparations. Tomorrow, without alerting the Jinyi Guard, transfer two large units from the Martial Hall. Have one unit stationed at the Lu Mansion and the other in Taiping City."
"As you command, Master!" The confidant clasped his hands and went to arrange the transfer of men.
Lu Yuan turned and went into an empty room next door, changing into a set of Night Travel Clothes.
Quite a few Jinyi Guards were standing outside the Mansion Gate. Until their intentions were clear, it was best to be cautious.
Tiptoeing, Lu Yuan gently closed the door. With a single leap, he used a decorative rockery in the courtyard as a foothold and easily jumped onto the roof.
Under the cover of dusk, Lu Yuan crouched low and moved lightly across the roof tiles. Avoiding the Jinyi Guard's line of sight, he slipped out of the Lu Mansion.
