The sky was just beginning to lighten when the area outside the West City Gate of Bianliang City became crowded, bustling a hundred times more than usual.
Today wasn't a special day, nor was it the emperor's procession or a triumphant return of the army. The crowd surrounded a very ordinary carriage.
But the person inside the carriage was even more ordinary, a drunkard who didn't even know how he had gotten into the carriage. Standing beside the carriage was a man, bent over and obsequious, receiving instructions from a young man.
This young man was the center of everyone's attention.
"Take care on the road and look after Manager Jia properly. First settle in Xuanjiu City, and if I don't arrive, follow the caravan through the Hexi Corridor."
