Before long, an attendant announced for Duan Shanmian to enter.
He gave Song Lianhe a faint smile and walked into the medical hall with Zhu Liao.
Sishui City had narrowly escaped being massacred. Now that the Nanchen Army had withdrawn, the city was under heavy guard. Forget enemy troops—even people from the two cities of Daisui and Fengbai behind them couldn't dream of setting foot inside.
This move strongly suggested he was cutting ties.
"...Is City Lord Duan planning to betray Prince Yongdong?"
Zhou Cangyan asked bluntly as soon as he saw Duan Shanmian.
After taking a seat, Duan Shanmian leisurely fanned himself with his folding fan. "It's not a matter of betrayal. I merely wish to fulfill my duties as City Lord."
Zhou Cangyan's gaze then shifted to the person behind him.
Zhu Liao knew this was a moment of truth, and he couldn't escape it.
So, with a wry smile, he bowed to Zhou Cangyan. "I am devoted only to Sishui City and have no other ambitions."
