Chapter 255

The bright moon hung high while the March wind rustled the trees in the mountains.

Shen Wenchen's entourage was galloping on the official road.

As they approached, they realized that the light came from a mere roadside inn – regardless of their fatigue, everyone frowned.

"General, are we going to stay here?" someone asked.
