"I heard they're returning in batches. This batch has returned, and the next will come later. With the Hu people being so cunning, I'm afraid they might suddenly attack."
"Has General Nangong Ye returned?" asked a person at the next table.
"That I don't know."
"..."
Nan Feng, listening to the conversation at the neighboring table, felt her hand holding the chopsticks trembling involuntarily.
Brother Ye... is he coming back?
Nan Feng was once again in a dilemma. If Brother Ye had returned, her trip to the North would be in vain, but if he hadn't, she couldn't just wait here aimlessly.
She decided to go out for a walk. With some luck, she might even hear some news about Brother Ye.
Nan Feng then went to the streets and wandered near the Palace.
The big officials live outside the Palace; perhaps like in the Inn, she might dig up some useful information.
