Her Hope

After they had watched the figure in red disappear though the main entrance of the City Lord's manor, four men in grey clothes walked out of the dark and one of them asked: "Why didn't we make a move? With our strength it would be easy to take her life."

"This is Shun Yan City and we are in the City Lord's territory. We;re in no hurry, she will leave here and we can make our move on the road." One of them said. 

"That's right, we can set up a trap on the road and wait for her to fall into it. She's just one girl, how hard can it be?"

"Keep two men here to keep an eye on things, and remember, don't get too close to avoid being discovered." One of them said. Two men stayed behind while the other two left quietly in the dark.
