Chapter 113: Calling for Help
Chapter 113
Nanmen Yu unexpectedly encountered no one within the Imperial Palace—it was just as well, since he had already said his farewells. He had hoped for one last glimpse; a distant look would have sufficed.
"Princely Heir, you may leave with peace of mind." San He was somewhat reluctant; after all these years, he and the Princely Heir had depended on each other for survival.
"San He, take good care of yourself. If you are not willing to come back to Nanmen State with me, by staying with the Commandery Princess, as long as you are honest and decent, she will take care of you." Nanmen Yu instructed with concern, perhaps she would return soon, and he might catch that final glimpse.
Ultimately, Nanmen Yu left. The doors of Qishun Building remained firmly shut, and he did not get the chance to see the person he had hoped to glimpse one last time. Thinking of all the people waiting at the inn, Nanmen Yu turned and left.
Indeed, since they had parted, what difference would one more or one less glance make?
Once Nanmen Yu left the Imperial Palace, he quickened his pace and hurried back to the inn non-stop.
"Princely Heir, everything is ready; our men have already gone to the border to pass on the message," reported Tan Zong as he approached.
"What about the two men we left behind?" asked Nanmen Yu without moving.
Tan Zong glanced behind him, and two Death Warriors swiftly stepped forward, standing by.
Nanmen Yu glanced at the two men but still felt uneasy. Although they seemed entirely loyal, they were, after all, his men. He would find another channel for news from San He’s side. These two were left here just in case.
