As the sun moved further toward the west, the local scenery started becoming dyed with a scarlet hue.
A procession came from the south, slowly moving northward following the mountain trail. There were about 10-20 people there, with an exquisite carriage being protected in the center of the formation. There were armed soldiers keeping guard at the front and back of the carriage, and at the front of the formation walked two large horses side by side.
“Sir Lin, we’re escorting the fiancée of the city lord’s son this time. Black Bull Mountain is known for its many bandits, so we need to be extra careful here.” Huang Sanyuan spoke as he rode on.

“We’ve really been counting on Sir Lin’s protection this whole way. That said, this trip is for escorting the young miss of the Su family to Blackstone city for her marriage with the young lord. It’s very important, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.” Huan Sanyuan spoke.
