It rained heavily all night. Pei Zhan and his group didn't rest much because they were escorting a high-profile criminal of the court. Fortunately, the rain stopped at dawn the next morning, and a bright sun soon climbed into the sky.
The team regrouped and set out once again.
When Yang Yi came downstairs, he looked no different from usual. Only Pei Zhan, with his sharp eyes, noticed that the color under his eyes was deeper than usual.
But he said nothing.
The remaining hundred or so li were covered in just over a day. Along the way, at almost every post station they entered, people were discussing the revelation of King Yan's lineage.
On the afternoon of the second day, the group entered the city gates as scheduled.
