Li Huowang mentally reviewed his abilities, but he found nothing that could help in this situation.
"Go back and ask County Magistrate Lou to send a boat?"
Just as Li Huowang was reluctantly considering this, his sharp hearing picked up the sound of an extremely piercing musical instrument. "A suona?"
Li Huowang hid himself in the bushes and looked toward the source of the sound.
