With numbers on his side, Yan Boguang stood a good deal straighter. He sneered, "You must have had something to do with the attempt on Li Tianheng's life. Push me too far, and I'll turn the lot of you over to the authorities."
Hu Xiaotian frowned. "Yan Boguang, if you've got the guts, go ahead and inform on us. Then we'll see who they come to arrest." Yan Boguang was a horse bandit from Heavenly Wolf Mountain.

Yan Nujiao finally managed to drag Yan Boguang away. Watching the bandits leave, Yang Lingqi shook his head and sighed. "My lord, this is no place to linger," he said quietly. "There's good and bad mixed together among these bandits. There's no telling what they might do."

Everyone was delighted to hear they could leave Western Prefecture the next day. Trouble had cropped up one thing after another here, and their position had grown increasingly unfavorable. Hu Xiaotian had told no one about rescuing the Prince of Zhou. Even Yan Nujiao did not know whom he had saved. The matter was too serious to let a single word slip. If Long Xuan'en learned that Hu Xiaotian had rescued the Prince of Zhou and ruined his grand scheme, he would probably spare no expense in taking revenge on the Hu Family.
Hu Xiaotian told them, "Even when two kingdoms are at war, they don't execute each other's envoys. Li Tianheng won't pursue the matter against us. He'll let us return to Great Kang without any trouble."
