The County Magistrate of Quchun raised his head and laboriously scanned half the courtyard.
He dared not question the handsome man in the center, who radiated the oppressive authority of a ruler, and could only look hopefully at the others. "Then... then you, you are...?"
If there was only one Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard here, this was not yet a certain-death situation!
