Tap!
Tap tap!!
Dust billowed across the sky...
A convoy of carriages came galloping from the horizon. At the front, young men and women in fitted outfits rode tall horses, clearing the way for the convoy.
On either side of the convoy, several young men clad in black martial robes rode fine horses, patrolling the flanks.
Guarding the convoy!
Even at the rear of the convoy, young riders on fine horses brought up the tail.
Though their numbers were few, the arrangement was exceedingly meticulous.
Yet upon closer inspection, these dozen or so young men and women looked somewhat immature. They did not resemble seasoned escorts who had traveled the jianghu for years, nor did they look like household guards.
Instead, they seemed like greenhorns fresh from the nest, setting out to roam the jianghu.
But while these youthful-looking young men and women appeared entirely unremarkable, they carried an aura that sent chills down one's spine.
Just then...
From within a carriage not far behind the young woman in fitted clothes riding at the front came a voice.
Inside the carriage!
An old man with grizzled hair but vigorous spirits was looking pitifully at the old woman before him as he said:
"Mother, our whole family has already left the Jin Kingdom?"
"Where exactly are we going to settle down?"
At this.
The old woman remained calm and unhurried as she said:
"Of course, the farther from the Jin Kingdom, the better!"
"Besides, wasn't it you who suggested moving in the first place? We're only moving a little farther away!"
"What difference does it make?"
The moment those words fell.
The old man felt even more wronged.
I wanted to move, but I never said we had to leave the Jin Kingdom!
*And we left the Jin Kingdom months ago.
