The gate to Su Changkong's estate was knocked upon.
Su Changkong stood up, walked to the door, and opened it to find a solemn-faced man standing erect outside—it was Di Hen, a trusted confidant of Hong Zhenxiang.
"Mr. Su," Di Hen greeted Su Changkong politely.
Previously, Su Changkong had informed him to return after a month, and Di Hen had come on time to visit Su Changkong, awaiting his instructions.
"Help me deliver this to Commander Hong and ask him to estimate its price. Exchange it all for the medicinal ingredients we discussed before."
Su Changkong handed over a small porcelain bottle to Di Hen with these instructions.
"Yes."
Di Hen wondered what was inside the porcelain bottle but, being a soldier, he was able to restrain his curiosity. He would not pry or open it to check; he would follow the previous orders from Hong Zhenxiang and fulfill Su Changkong's request!
Di Hen left with the porcelain bottle.
Naturally, the bottle contained Dragon Blood Pills.
