Chapter 168 - Meeting the Lu Family
The summer nights in Wanshen were not hot or stuffy, rather, there was a breeze blowing in waves, dispersing the heat left behind by the day. The croaking of the insects and frogs, which were listening very carefully in the dead of night, along with the ringing of the gongs, disturbed the small animals' gathering in the middle of the night.
After the rumors about the ghost in the former General Lu Palace spread, the City Guard had increased their patrolling at night, in order to prevent people pretending to be ghosts from causing trouble in the capital.
In the darkness of the night, a patrol of about 20 people walked past General Lu Palace with torches in hand. When they walked past, they even lit up the torches in their hands, the seals were still in place, and there were no sounds coming from the house. Only then did they relax and go to other places to patrol.
