Chapter 246 - A Long Road Ahead
When Qi Zongbi woke up again, half a day had already passed. Fortunately, during this time, the Northern Qiang camp had remained calm while he was incapacitated. Both sides were focused on rest and recovery, and abstained from engaging in any military actions.
As Qi Zongbi opened his eyes, he found himself lying in bed. He stared blankly for quite a while before realizing that what he had experienced was not just a nightmare.
"Minister Qi, this is not the time to rest in bed," said a voice from the corner of the room.
Qi Zongbi turned to look and saw that Ah San was the only other person in the room.
"What is your name?"
When Qi Zongbi spoke, he realized his throat was hoarse, sounding like a broken gong, likely due to illness.
Ah San was silent for a moment before replying, "Ephemeral
Requiem."
Qi Zongbi slightly closed his eyes and nodded, knowing full well that the man before him had no intention of revealing his true name. However, he did not mind and continued in his usual calm tone.
"It must have been a hard journey for you."
Considering the significant events that had unfolded at the manor, it was impossible that no one had been sent to deliver the message to him. The fact that he had only heard about it today from this black-clad man spoke volumes about the fate of those messengers. Just thinking about the circumstances was enough to confirm that the black-clad man’s earlier words were no exaggeration.
