Chapter 80: Maybe in the Next Lifetime (3)

Because of Chen Xue'er weakened condition, they could not leave Chang An. Therefore, the four of them stayed hidden in Grandpa and Grandma Ho's hostel. They soon saw through the window of the room that there were palace guards on the streets asking for Gao Wei and Cao Shu Yu. From Grandpa Ho's narrative. The royal decree said that Gao Wei and Cao Shu Yu were spies who kidnapped and were holding hostage Li Dong Hai and Chen Xue'er.
