Lóng Wei tightened his grip around the sword and looked around. By now, the enemy in the palace must have found out that he had gone out with Feng Lao. He had asked Xiwan to spread in the palace that Lóng Wei went out to fetch Shui Xiaoqing.
They both heard the sound of the horses and turned to face them. The chauffeur on the carriage pulled the reins on the horses upon seeing that two men were in the middle of the road.
The royal inspector who had accompanied Shui Xiaoqing got off the horse and walked towards them. He recognized Feng Lao and greeted him.
Shui Xiaoqing, who was inside the carriage, opened the window and asked the chauffeur why the carriage was stopped. Feng Lao quickly went to open the carriage's door, and his father was surprised to see him.
