Chapter 23:
Yan City.
Old Huang and the soldiers, including the monk, were walking among the troops.
Military Officer Chu was brutally assassinated before the retreat, but these soldiers managed to safely return to Yan City without further incident.
This expedition against the bandits cannot be considered a complete victory since even their leader died, resulting in somewhat lowered morale.
Old Huang and the others were sad, but it had nothing to do with the success or failure of fighting the bandits. They were more concerned about the dead body they were carrying on their shoulders.
"We arrived in Yan City so quickly?"
"I haven’t figured out how to talk to the boss’s family yet…"
"Or maybe we should wait a little longer, until we receive the compensation money, and then go?"
Old Huang and the others quietly discussed and accidentally noticed a blind girl sitting in a noodle shop by the street, her eyes closed, facing the road.
