127 Forfeit All Walls (1/2)

After confirming their plan to stay along An Sun's side, Manchu who was quiet for some time spoke up.

”Your injuries, they were caused by An Ruo weren't they?”

An Sun nodded his head slightly. ”Not directly. He must have planned to kill me while my guard was down and so that he could later blame it on bandits. However, I'm certain he's already been informed of my survival.”

”What do you mean?”

”I let one of them escape.”

”What?!” Manchu stared in disbelief.

An Sun ignored the stunned Manchu and cast a glance to Rin. ”We can no longer carry out with our initial plans.

”I will go speak to Governor Duyi and inform him on the matter. In the meantime, you rest Lord An. We'll need you healed and ready when the time comes.” Rin looked at the bandaged An Sun solemnly.

Manchu butted in agreement, ”He's right. You need to take it easy before doing anything, you can't be impulsive.”

An Sun took in a deep breath and let out a long bored sigh, ”Fine. But get someone to hand me some reports to look at, I want to be informed of the situation at all times.”

”Understood,” Manchu rose from his seat and left the tent with Rin following behind.
