"You—how do you have that thing? Could it be you're also...?"
Gao Yao's face was filled with shock. Right before his eyes, Qing Mo pulled a lighter from his robes and used it to light a Huazi for him!
"Yes! I know you have a lot of questions. This isn't the place to talk. Come with me, and I'll explain everything to you slowly!"
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, Gao Yao hurriedly nodded. He had no one to rely on now. Since the other man could produce something from his era to reveal his identity, Gao Yao decided to try trusting Qing Mo!
Meng Tian strode up to Qing Mo, clasped his fists in salute, and said, "State Preceptor, how should this man be dealt with?"
The soldier who had beaten Gao Yao earlier was now pinned to the ground by several of Meng Tian's personal guards, his face utterly terrified!
"Spare me! State Preceptor, please spare me! This lowly one truly didn't know he was your man! Please spare me, State Preceptor!"
Hearing the wails of the soldier being held firmly to the ground, Qing Mo slowly walked toward him, his face utterly expressionless!
Qing Mo came to the side of one of the guards, casually drew the man's waist saber, and directly chopped off the soldier's head!
"Ah!" Gao Yao could not help crying out at the sight. When he looked at Qing Mo again, his eyes were filled with terror as well!
"This soldier accidentally discovered a spy planted in the city by the Xiongnu. He had intended to report the matter, but was discovered by them instead. In the end, he died for his country!
Issue his family a death-in-battle pension, and give him a proper burial!
General Meng, submit the report. I'll approve it!"
