"We're patrolling in broad daylight and can barely see a soul. What's the point of this, anyway..."
"The Hundred Households said a lot of the rebels who fled to the mountains haven't been caught yet. He told us to watch out for any of them trying to escape this way!"
"They're not stupid. Why would they run over here now, of all times..."
Chu Mu led a squad of Inspectors, strolling unhurriedly down the street.
Xu Yuan and the other Inspectors chattered back and forth, but Chu Mu, walking ahead of them, seemed a world away, completely lost in thought.
His attention clearly wasn't on the Inspectors' conversation, and certainly not on this supposed patrol to prevent rebels from causing trouble.
Ever since that first dose of medicinal soup went down, his attention had been completely fixed on his own body.
