After Qi Xiuyuan had the ability to do so, he arranged for people to be stationed in the capital. His original intention was to protect his silly brother, but because his brother was too skilled in martial arts and Zijin was smart, those people did not come in handy. Instead, they became intelligence agents to collect information.
Because their two little masters were always making them worry, they only realized that something was amiss two days after Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin left the capital.
After finding out that Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin had run away from home, they sent people north to report and search along the way.
However, they had limited manpower, so they couldn't be as fast as Fan Siwen and Xia Tong.
However, the messenger arrived at Xingzhou Prefecture very quickly.
