Chapter 69 - 66: Strength of 10,000 Jin, Uprooting a Towering Tree! (Part 2)
If Zhuang Shisan truly died, he would probably have to consider resigning from his position as an official. Otherwise, when the Thirteen Riders of the Great Desert incited a rebellion under the influence of the White Lotus Sect, he would be doomed.
Lu Changsheng rode a fast horse out of the city and galloped north along the official road. After approximately an hour, he came to a stop.
