"Hyah!"
Pang'er squeezed the horse's sides with his legs, his leather whip flailing in the air and producing a piercing whoosh.
The sound of Xi Lü Lü's horse hooves gradually faded away.
Watching the Xingyuan Division's cavalry leave the hostel to pursue Cao Yongchang, Zhu Yan finally showed a hint of a smile.
Her aim was just to stop this rising star, the reincarnation of the God of the Martial Arts Star, from interfering in the case of Huo Tu. Now that Huo Tu had been brought to justice, and Li Yan was no longer shielding his associates, this was undoubtedly the best outcome.
She put down her wine glass, stretched her neck a little, and said to Li Yan, "It's getting late, General Li, if you have nothing else, you should get some sleep."
"Aren't you resting, Lord Director?"
"No need, I'll just sit here tonight."
Zhu Yan was afraid Li Yan would verbally agree but actually look for a chance to slip away from her.
"...Haha, I don't really feel like sleeping either."
