Vol 5 Chapter 31 (2/2)
“Ah, that huh.” He gave another laugh and stopped before continuing, “Of course I can let you pa.s.s. I’ve respected you esteemed generals for a long time now, and will not stop you all.”
Of course I can. Will not stop you all.
I only realised what those words meant after they reverberated in my ears for a long while. So that means we can pa.s.s then.
Hu.
I, Wen Yuan, Hua Tuo, Gan Qing and Mi Zhen heaved a sigh of relief. As for the rest, they were either oblivious or didn’t care how they needed to get through the pa.s.s.
“Then when can we leave?” Wen Yuan asked in a refres.h.i.+ng voice that carried her intention to leave as soon as possible.
“Ah, ah!” Han Fu was clearly shocked, and hurriedly said, “You all can leave now.”
“I understand. Thank you very much for your understanding, Administrator. We will be leaving immediately then, to prevent troubling the Administrator further.” I helped Gan Qing up after I finished.
“But… Ah! Wait, I’m not done yet!”
“Eh? What other matter does the Administrator have with us?”
Han Fu hurriedly got up and pulled us who had gotten up and were ready to leave, perhaps he was surprised at our reaction.
“Ah… No, umm…” Even though he had stopped us, he was stammering and kept stealing glances toward the inner residence.
“Ah, if it’s the tea, we don’t need it.”
“That’s right, you can just give us the tea leaves if you want.” Meng Huo said from behind us. I used my eyes to tell him to be quiet but he clearly didn’t understand. Or rather he wasn’t even looking at me.
“An, ah! Of course I can. It’s just that… This…”
Report! Just as he was still blabbering, a military courier came running in.
“Don’t be alarmed! Report what it is you have to repot!”
For some reason, I was attacked by a wave of pain in my stomach when the military courier came.
And so, at the command of Han Fu, the military courier yelled out the news he bore clearly to everyone at the scene
— The Yellow Turban General Du Yuan has surrounded Luoyang city with over a thousand men!
