Chapter 606 - 604 Husband, why did you hit me? (Second watch)
Li Xianyun stepped down from the carriage, and the party only began speaking once they entered the courtyard.
"How did the Khan respond?" Li Xianyun asked Jinwu as she looked at him.
Jinwu bowed to Li Xianyun with a bent arm and said, "Reporting to Master, the Khan said he won’t be returning tonight, and instructed you to rest early and carry on as usual, without worry."
Li Xianyun certainly didn’t believe this statement. If everything were as usual, if there wasn’t critical military intelligence, why wouldn’t Yelu Yan return? "What’s the situation in Hengzhou?"
Jinwu said, "Master, rest assured, it’s the same as before."
Still, Li Xianyun detected a clue from his fleeting expression, "Did the Khan specifically instruct you not to tell me about the situation in Hengzhou?"
"No, the Khan gave me no such instructions. Truly, nothing has happened in Hengzhou."
His response was overly strong, giving off the feeling that he ’doth protest too much.’
Li Xianyun spoke coolly, "Something must have happened in Hengzhou. If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll have the Khan replace you and never let you come to Yanzhou to deliver messages again."
Upon hearing this, Jinwu’s face changed in an instant, and he became flustered.
