Qi Haoran touched his nose and said, "The Imperial Court hasn't made any new moves. Don't worry."
Liu Dahei looked at Lin Man. Lin Man pursed his lips in dissatisfaction and said, "The Imperial Court still hasn't made any new moves? The 200,000-strong army has surrounded us and wants to kill us all. Who was the one who swore that he would inform us? It's been half a month. If you hadn't appeared on your own accord, we probably wouldn't have been able to catch your shadow."
Smiling, Qi Haoran said, "Even if I don't appear, you still have something on me. It's akin to you holding my lifeline. As long as I'm alive, I won't dare to deny it."
Only then did their countenances improve.
Only then did Liu Dahei ask the question he was most concerned about. "Why is General Qi in such a sorry state? The Imperial Court's army is only three to four days away from here. Since you could avoid the bandits along the way, why did you take the initiative to come to Huaiyuan County?"
