Shi Fuyou looked over the secret letter with a rather solemn expression and spoke to Zhou Ruhai only after a long while, "Only a few years of peace have passed, and some have already forgotten how brutal the war was back then."
"United long we must divide, and divided long we must unite. It's the natural trend of the world, it's just that the actions in the capital city are somewhat too hasty."
"Since it has come, then let it be. Inform the Hidden Guard to be on alert."
"Yes." Zhou Ruhai complied and left to carry out his orders.
Once he left, Shi Fuyou's tense expression relaxed slightly. After closing the door, he turned a vase on the table, and the originally solid wall thunderously cracked open, slowly retracting to both sides.
The next day, Shi Zhou left just like that, truly leaving behind a letter, shouldering his pack, and secretly descending the mountain.
By the time Shi Fuyou learned of this, Shi Zhou was already nearly at Ping'an Town.
