Murong Ce's gaze was icy cold, his expression inscrutable, "Yelu Yan is full of tricks and deceitful schemes. We must not take him lightly."
He paused, then said, "Moreover, everything is proceeding too smoothly. I always have a bad premonition."
Murong Ce looked at the innkeeper and asked, "When does General Xue change the guard?"
"At 7-9 PM."
Murong Ce said, "Issue the order for everyone to rest briefly. Be fully equipped before 7-9 PM, and be ready to depart at any time."
"Yes!"
After finishing his instructions, Murong Ce returned to the private room where Li Xianyun was.
Upon entering, he saw Li Xianyun sitting in a rocking chair by the window, tapping her leg with her little fist as she gazed outside.
His eyes softened at the sight of her.
Li Xianyun was enveloped in the warm light of 11 AM-1 PM, her entire being bright and gentle, conveying a sense of peaceful years.
Peaceful years—wasn't that what he had tirelessly sought but could never attain?
