บท 194: Here's the World

There was a very humble teashop behind the famous Restaurant Yi Pingxuan in the Western City of Chang'an.

There were two men sitting on a bamboo mat deep inside. The short and fat middle-aged one kept wiping off the sweat dotting his forehead. It seemed he was greatly impacted by the late summer heat, even making his Hebei accent sound somewhat dry.

"You're a secret guard. You should always do what you're supposed to. Why not help complete the task while you're in the Wilderness? I just want you to take a look, not investigate the case."

The chunky man was Master Xu Chongshan, the Deputy Commander of the imperial palace bodyguards. Today, he deliberately left the palace to secretly meet Ning Que. The latter sitting across him took out a handkerchief from his sleeves and began to wipe his sweat as well. It was clear he wasn't sweating because of the hot, stuffy summer weather but because of Xu Chongshan's words.
