After sending Qin Huan off, Yan Qing, with a hint of tipsiness, walked alone on the street. He strolled from the west side of the city back to the east and ran into Xu Zizhou from Jingzhao Prefecture on the way.
Mounted on his horse, Xu Zizhou clearly saw the long silhouette of Yan Qing at the end of the street. He waited a moment, and when Yan Qing approached, he called out, "Marquis Yan!"
Yan Qing stopped in his tracks and lazily greeted, "Xu Shaoyin, what a coincidence!"
Xu Zizhou smiled, "Not a coincidence, I saw Marquis Yan walking alone on the long street and purposely waited for a moment."
Yan Qing was puzzled, "Xu Shaoyin, are you looking for me on purpose? Is there something the matter?"
"Lately, the Capital has been somewhat uneasy. Marquis Yan, in the future, you should try not to walk alone in the middle of the night, to avoid danger," said Xu Zizhou.
Yan Qing cocked his head to look at Xu Zizhou, "So, Xu Shaoyin means to say... someone wants to harm me?"
