Chapter 315 - 255, Yellow Corn Bread
Chen Ji silently gazed at the handful of yellow soil and ashes on the ground, pinching the corner of the yellow paper talisman in his hand.
Whose talisman could this be... Bai Long? Not sure.
Chen Ji had seen yellow paper talismans in Bai Long’s hands before, but Bai Long was not the only Executive Officer using yellow paper talismans; Meng Ji used them, Dao Court used them, and all branches and scattered lineages of Executive Officers would need to use yellow paper talismans.
However, for some reason, he felt in the dark that the owner of this yellow paper talisman must be Bai Long.
When he first arrived in Guyuan, the post officers mentioned that the Spy Department had withdrawn due to the hardship here... which was illogical in itself.
How could such a spy-infested city lack the crucial presence of the Spy Department? Each spy was mad for merits, as if they were insane, wishing to capture Jing Dynasty spies every day; there should have been a large number of Spies around!
Originally, the Ritual Supervision let go of Jiao Tu and Yun Yang to lower the guards of the Liu Family.
Isn’t the current situation in Guyuan strikingly similar to before?
When Chen Ji realized "it might be" Bai Long behind this, his heart couldn’t help but sink.
He instinctively surveyed his surroundings, worried that when he turned his head, he’d catch Mr. Feng watching him from afar with a half-smile.
Fortunately, that was not the case.
