After leaving Gan Province, the next few days of travel went s deployed a cavalry of six hundred h the cities and counties As expected, they didn’t run into any other proble journey tests a horse’s strength and the passage of ti could tell that his position by Sun Bingchen’s side had stabilized and rose once more after the incident at the posthouse in Weiyuan Prefecture However, he noticed that Sun Bingchen was staring at him even deeper since then, and this chen was still acting the saazes filled with rapt attention still ht them He wasn’t sure if it was his sixth sense, but he just couldn’t shake off the feeling that there was soer on behind Sun Bingchen’s profound stare
The first ti else hidden behind Sun Bingchen’s gaze hen he assisted hi had hidden However, that feeling was evendidn’t know that Sun Bingchen wasn’t gay, he probably wouldn’t have the courage to continue staying by his side
Perhaps it was because Yan Liqiang had once again proven his capability and attentiveness, but the task of looking after Ye Tiancheng every day upon arriving at their acco their departure fro seized every opportunity he had with Yan Liqiang He constantly tried to brainwash and get chu — providing him with a few silver needles
Silver needles were extrehout most of the medical halls in the county town They were tools used in treating ail needed the Yijie had used on him If the meridians and acupoints in his body went back to nor’s attitude in response to Ye Tiancheng’s request was basically,‘Why do I have to risk my life for you? You think I’h to drive Ye Tiancheng crazy
On the 23rd of the first lunarand the rest had passed Gan Provincial City They continued heading east and arrived at the furthest county town in Gan Province — shi+zhai County
That night, Yan Liqiang and the cavalry who escorted them stayed at the shi+zhai County Office
shi+zhai County was a poor county — it was cursed by its infertile land and filled with yellow sand which stretched as far as the eyes could see There weren’t many people in the county The county’s posthouse was small, run-down, and could only accommodate a few dozen people Not only that, the posthouse was also located outside the city Upon receiving news of the arrival of Sun Bingchen’s party, the county istrate of shi+zhai County, dressed in his faded official robes, personally waited for Sun Bingchen along with a few county officials They showed Sun Bingchen and the rest to the county office and finallyout soh the so-called county office sounded impressive, it was actually extre’s old house back in Qinghe County For the sake of receiving Sun Bingchen and the rest as guests, the county ers and some administrative staff members from the county office They made a stove out ofto be served as dinner for everyone
If it wasn’t for this personal experience, Yan Liqiang wouldn’t believe that a county could be in such a dire state due to poverty
Although the county office was run-down, it still had an underground dungeon for prisoners Upon arriving at the county office, Yan Liqiang had soe and into the prison where he personally stayed back to keep watch there
Unlike those dark and damp prisons everywhere else, the prison in the shi+zhai County Office was so dry as though it was a pit dug out of dry rock In such cold and dry weather, the prison which had not been used in two years didn’t really have a bad odor
There was no lamp in the prison except for a lit torch As the torch’s flame burned, it e on a table leg For places like shi+zhai County, the oil used in oil lamps was a luxury Most people couldn’t even find food or feed theht a lamp
As soon as the people who delivered the straw , who had just been put into the prison, immediately moved His handcuffs and fetters clanked as he approached the iron bars of the prison cell He grabbed the iron bars with both hands, stared at Yan Liqiang as patting Goldie’s head, and then spoke in a soft voice “We have arrived at shi+zhai today We will be leaving Gan Province to after fourcal The forxi Prefectural Governor was travel-worn fro a shower, brushi+ng his teeth, washi+ng his hair, or getting a fresh change of clothes every day, his unkempt appearance and dirty facethat distinguished hihost lights
