Upon hearing this,
Su Yanjin halted, turned to look at Zhang Cheng, and answered expressionlessly, "It's time to get off work."
Since it was time to get off work, naturally, he should go home.
"You...!"
Hearing Su Yanjin's answer, Zhang Cheng was scared senseless. Su Yanjin was going to get him killed—he had actually mentioned getting off work in front of the Continent Lord.
"Continent Lord, I'm sorry. His brain doesn't work properly. I guarantee he won't make such a mistake again."
So frightened that he dropped directly to his knees before the Continent Lord, Zhang Cheng hurriedly admitted his fault.
If this matter was not handled well, he might lose his little life.
"Hmph. Straighten things out properly. Such a mistake must absolutely not happen again."
Xiang Tiannan said in a deep voice, leaving with a dark expression.
In the past, he would certainly have punished them severely without leniency. But manpower was scarce now, so this was all he could do.
"Thank you, Continent Lord!"
Only after watching Xiang Tiannan leave did Zhang Cheng let out a sigh of relief and rise to his feet thankfully.
"Su Yanjin, spend the next three days properly reflecting in the prison."
"You, escort him there."
Zhang Cheng spoke to Su Yanjin, then assigned an old soldier to escort him to the prison.
"Yes."
The old soldier hurriedly answered and led Su Yanjin toward the cells.
"Little brother, it's not that I want to lecture you, but you need to learn to read the room. With the Continent Lord there, what would it have hurt to get off work a little later?"
The old soldier and Su Yanjin lived only one street apart.
Therefore, this old soldier had usually taken especially good care of Su Yanjin.
"Oh."
Yet Su Yanjin merely nodded.
