This was a fortress large enough to accommodate an army of ten thousand, and though Princess Ning An was allowed the freedom to go anywhere, she never ventured out.
The Silver Fox man nodded thoughtfully as he said, "Understood. Guard the courtyard vigilantly and report to me immediately at the slightest disturbance."
"Yes!"
The crowd responded in unison.
The Silver Fox man entered the courtyard.
Elsewhere, Fei Shi settled Gu Jiao in a small wooden cottage.
Gu Jiao's little basket was also brought over by a soldier.
"Vice Commander Fei, how should we deal with this basket?" the soldier asked.
This basket had been personally dug out of the snowfield by Fei Shi and, along with the Red-Tasseled Spear, delivered into the hands of their superior. The superior took only the spear, clearly uninterested in the contents of the basket.
Fei Shi glanced at it and saw nothing but some hard, dry rations and a tattered little box.
