CHANCE ENCOUNTER

ZHANG LIAO BAO

IN A FOREST

OUTSIDE THE FORBIDDEN CITY

He has successfully escaped the imperial city with the letter hidden under his clothes.

Just thinking about it again, he did not think he would have escaped. But he guesses the Heavens still have eyes and let him escape.

He said to himself

'This letter is probably the most important letter I have ever held in my hands' he muttered to himself.

He I pat the letter again, checking it again, just in case. It would be such a cruel joke if he lost the letter now after escaping the Imperial Guards.

He then checks the pouch of coins on the inside pocket of his clothes.

'I guess this is enough' he said to himself.

With the coins he got working as a scribe in the Palace he has about enough to buy a horse outside in a recluse village around the outside of the Capital.
