“Why aren’t you putting out those fires yet?” one of the Black Frost Cavalry generals hit the leader of the soldiers He staggered back a few steps, angry but too timid to talk back
Meanwhile, Old Huo’s e halls in a merchant’s house Xie Laibao looked around him and shi+vered as he asked Old Huo, “Just where is this place?”
