Chapter 706: Return to the Capital (1)_1
In the morning, when the sky was barely lit, a group of men, wearing Mongol costumes and horse riding, was rushing frantically along the official road on the outskirts of Qing County. The constant galloping of the horses’ hooves were like drumbeats, and they kicked up dust along the road like a cloud of smoke. When they arrived at the Xiaoyaoshan Manor on the outskirts of the county, some of them dismounted, and one stepped forward, furiously pounding on the manor’s main gate.
"Open up, open up——"
The guard, behind the gate of the manor, shouted impatiently, "Who is it, in the early morning!"
Outside the gate, "Quick, bringing an urgent message from the capital, hurry up and open the gate!"
The gatekeeper, hearing about an urgent message from the capital, ran over in two or three steps and opened the gate.
By then, the master of Xiaoyaoshan Manor was already up and waiting, ready to go.
The night before, he received a message from a woman saying that she had returned to the capital. So he made up his mind to catch her and severely discipline her!
Therefore, after hastily getting a half night’s rest, he got up early, had breakfast, and was about to set off when he received the urgent message from the capital.
His father, Mengdan Lelei, was critically ill and he was ordered to return to the capital immediately!
Saknu held the letter with a stern, dark look on his face, seemingly able to squeeze water out. The situation was severe, so he had to go back to the capital. However, it was a pity that the woman might escape and enjoy her freedom for a little longer!
Although he was unwilling to let her go back to the capital and be free, given the circumstances, he didn’t really have any other options to catch her now.
Alright, he would begrudgingly let her go for now. Once he became the true master of Liaodan, there would still be time to deal with her!
