Tentative Crisis (3)

Gong Zhiyu saw that Ji Fengyan had understood him and smiled gently, "then I shall be leaving."

Ji Fengyan waved at Gong Zhiyu. Gong Zhiyu left the residence with two other guards. When the horse carriage left Ji City's boundaries, the two men who had gotten onto the same horse carriage as Gong Zhiyu started to speak, "Young master, you seem to be caring a lot about that little City Lord?"

"Isn't she interesting? It was no small feat for her to be able to get Ji City from Lei Xu."

Gong Zhiyu lifted his hand slowly and interrupted the guard's words.
