Chapter 919 - 917: Any Clues?
The group of people had been waiting by the pier since dawn without even having breakfast.
They just ate some dim sum with tea at the teahouse. As noon approached, they drank pot after pot of tea and made several trips to the lavatory, yet their stomachs became more and more empty.
The more tea they drank, the hungrier they felt, and everyone was finding it hard to endure.
However, no one dared to mention the matter of eating, praying silently for the two lords to arrive quickly.
As the sun reached its zenith, a disturbance arose at the pier. A government official who had been keeping an eye on the ships on the river hurried over to report, "My lord, two official boats are coming on the river—"
Upon hearing this, Lv Wenguang threw down the teacup in his hand, straightened his official attire, and ran downstairs.
When he reached the pier, indeed, two official boats were approaching, one from the east and one from the west. Were the two lords arriving at the same time?
The two boats had also noticed each other. After the boatmen exchanged flag signals at the prows, the boat coming from the west sped up.
In no time, it barely docked by the pier. After it moored, a group of armored guards disembarked from the boat and encircled the pier tightly.
The government officials of Jing County, seeing these guards, prudently retreated, giving up the prime positions.
Then came a graceful man in a crimson Third Rank official robe who walked out of the cabin with a leisurely pace.
It was none other than Zhu Haoran.
