Chapter 899 - 877: Making Alliances (Extra update for the reward from the book friend "Huang Juzi")
Manbao and his companions had no intention of going shopping or even leaving the County Governmental Office.
For they believed that it was too dangerous outside by now—who knew whether the Prince of Yizhou was aware of their existence?
What if he was aware and had people watching them at this very moment?
What would they do if they went out and something unfortunate led to their deaths?
Both the faint-hearted Manbao and Bai Shan, who unanimously believed they could live a long life and wanted to do so, decided not to go anywhere today. They would simply stay at County Magistrate Yang’s home to read books, admire the scenery, and chat.
Bai Erlang, who really wanted to go out, was successfully persuaded by them. The main reason was that he didn’t have many friends in Luojiang County’s city; with the other two unwilling to leave, it wouldn’t be fun for him to go out alone.
Therefore, the three of them settled into County Magistrate Yang’s study to flip through books or do some writing.
The three managed to behave earnestly for a while in the morning, diligently practicing their calligraphy and seriously reading scholarly books. But after just a little over an hour, Bai Erlang couldn’t resist touching this and fiddling with that any longer. He grew restless, looking around restively.
Manbao also dropped his book to rummage through the shelves for other reads.
Seeing this, Bai Erlang couldn’t resist joining in, leaning over to ask, "What book do you want to read?"
"I want to see what books Lord Yang has; I want to read some storybooks."
