36. Shadows in the Sunlight

On the Luocheng Official Road, Yun Yang sat astride his horse, awaiting the arrival of the Jiefan Guard from Mengjin Camp, which would take only two hours. Jiao Tu held the King's Command Flag, and no one should dare to disobey.

Behind him, more than ten spies stood silently with their horses.

These spies, dressed in black, stood like solid rocks in a river, while the stream of people on the road parted around them.

The terrifying reputations of the Spy Department and the Criminal Justice Department were not something the common folk dared to provoke.

At that moment, the sound of galloping hoofs approached from afar, growing louder, thunderous.

Jiao Tu, clad in black, led the charge with five hundred Jiefan Guards following, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The Jiefan Guards were draped in straw raincoats and wore bamboo hats, with long knives across their saddle-backs and black cloths tied over their noses and mouths, fearsome as dragons.
