Earthquake in Shangjing (IX)

"Huaiyu," she said, disrupting Feng Jin's thoughts, "Help me."

Feng Jin's heart trembled, and he replied, "Please feel free to ask what you require of me."

They were not just close friends. Lanting was akin to family, and he was indebted to her forever.

"I wish to stay in Shangjing."

Feng Jin said decisively, "No, you should leave quickly."

He could not bear to implicate his wife and daughter. He had to choose a safer option against his will, but it was different for Jiang Pengji.

If she did not provoke the bandits and the mob of refugees, her safety was guaranteed. Her chances of leaving Shangjing to travel to Chongzhou were also higher.

"Please hear me out first."

"Please, go ahead. I am listening." Feng Jin calmed his emotions.
