Chapter 125: The Things Left Behind
The two individuals Nanmen Yu left behind were ones of deep thought and steadiness, not among the most outstanding of the Nanmen Death Soldiers, yet they possessed the patience typical of those sidelined.
Moreover, these two had been previously concealed within Nanzheng State, so they knew much about the local customs and people of Nanzheng State.
Thus, Nanmen Yu insisted on leaving these two behind, entrusting them with Zheng Nianru’s shop, along with other items he had originally prepared to leave behind.
The two faithfully and dutifully waited at the entrance of Prince Duan’s Mansion for several days, thoroughly familiarizing themselves with all the major and minor issues of the mansion, before finally positioning themselves at the entrance early one morning.
As Prince Duan was about to leave, he immediately noticed two strapping figures standing at the door, their expressions respectful and their clothes neatly arranged.
Prince Duan found it rather odd, for there were scarcely any who came to plead or conduct business at his mansion’s door anymore. Could it be that these two had lost their way?
Prince Duan deliberately shifted his direction to exit, but the two immediately took a respectful step to the side, standing impeccably before Prince Duan without any fault.
"We present our respects to Prince Duan—"
"Wait, whose servants are you?" Prince Duan was not keen on claiming them, although he vaguely guessed the identity of the two, especially since he had seen that carriage before at the inn.
"The Princely Heir has given us to the Commandery Princess, from then on we are her people, and naturally yours, Prince; our very lives are at your command." The two promptly produced their indentures, their movements synchronized and precise.
Prince Duan felt a headache coming on, couldn’t Nanmen Yu keep to himself even after leaving?
