Wu Zhan stayed at Duke Xing Mansion for three days, then Qu Changkong personally saw him off from the city, giving him not just a Three Yellow Plum but also many fine gifts for the four brothers accompanying him.
After leaving Nanhua City, the group of five sped towards the Capital City as if fleeing for their lives.
Damn it, this Duke Xing is too frightening; how slickly he changes faces and employs threats and inducements, Wu Zhan is genuinely scared.
One would say he fears death, but that's not quite it. Yet facing Duke Xing is even more terrifying than facing countless enemy chieftains on the battlefield.
What should have been a month-long journey, the group of five returned to the Capital City in less than half a month.
When Yang Zhenshan saw the fatigued faces of Wu Zhan and the others, he couldn't help but ask, "There was no rush for this matter. Why the hurry to come back?"
