Chapter 405 - 323. United in hatred against the enemy
When the Zhang Family’s carriage passed through Xuanwu Gate, the Five Cities Military Department on duty didn’t even bother with inspections, and stood even straighter than usual.
Brother Pao and Er Dao were left in front of the inn, while the six carriages that went in different directions did not head toward the Yulin Army Commander’s Mansion but eventually gathered in Cheng’en Temple Alley beside the Pottery Factory.
Inside the carriage, Xiao Man asked curiously, "Second Sister, where is this?"
Zhang Xia, masked, sat upright in the carriage, quietly reciting scriptures without answering. When they arrived, she alighted on her own and gestured for everyone to follow.
This place was in a remote corner of the southwest inner city, with Cheng’en Temple to the north, Stone Lamp Temple to the south, and a few houses in between creating an especially serene atmosphere.
Zhang Xia walked to the door of a house and knocked three fast knocks followed by two slow ones. Someone from inside opened the gate.
The Yulin Army filed in one after another, and saw more than a dozen men who hadn’t slept standing in the courtyard with a fire pit, roasting two legs of lamb over it.
When they saw Zhang Xia enter masked, they immediately stood up, greeted her with their hands cupped in silence.
Chen Ji recognized these people.
