Shangguan Yu had become an official for the past two years. Despite he was being a disabled, it didn't hinder his path in become a low ranked official. Naturally, he was not too satisfied with this position, but he had to start from somewhere.

And in this situation where the relationship between kingdoms were not too good, going to the border would be the same as putting his life on the line.

If he was suspected of being a spy, he might be punished or even executed.

If Shi Long Kingdom were to find out about his whereabouts, he might even be captured to become a war prisoner. After all, his two cousins were famous on the battlefield as a general and a young commander.

The two of them had long made a name for themselves on the battlefield.

"I will stay in the nearby city under Shangguan Xian's rule. Would it be fine that way, Traveling Doctor Liu?"

"Yes, it is." Traveling Doctor Liu nodded. "I also need one of my disciples as assistant to help in the operation. I hope that you wouldn't mind since this man is already old and advance in age."

Shangguan Yu nodded. "This one wouldn't mind that much."

He also knew that Traveling Doctor Liu no longer performed any surgery on his own. It was often replaced by his disciples starting from a few years ago because he had been quite advanced in age. If it was a short and simple treatment, he could still handle it.

But a long surgery that required a lot of stamina was clearly impossible for him.

"Alright then..."

They talked a bit more about the situation before they departed.

Shan Yu was looking at Traveling Doctor Liu but he was too lazy to reveal Traveling Doctor Liu's lie. The real reason why he wanted them to head to Shi Long Kingdom's border was because the only person who could do the surgery for this kind of untreatable injury was Luo Qing Wei.

Traveling Doctor Liu himself couldn't do it.

'Some people are really born as genius.'

After going to the battlefield, Feng Qian Shao hadn't returned home at all for the past few years. She missed her husband, but she also knew that the situation at the frontline was not exactly good. They were in tense situation with the other kingdoms and naturally it meant that the generals were unable to take rest.

She definitely couldn't go there.

Her third son was still so young, how could she bear to let him witness those things?

In the end, she just had to be patient and waited for any kind of news to be passed from the frontline about her husband. No matter what, she wished that her husband was still doing well there.

The servants were moving around to do their duties.

Among them, Mu Yan was inconspicuous. She blended with the other low ranked servants and walked out of the residence. Before long, she had arrived before a small teahouse and entered it.

"Young Miss, what a pleasant surprise," A man greeted her.

Mu Yan smiled politely. "The day is peaceful. I would like a bag of tea for Mistress."

The man nodded and handed a small bag to Mu Yan. After receiving that bag, Mu Yan left in the direction where Nan Si Qiao stayed.

The man was Cai Yao Shu, who had returned to Heng Xing City. After his father was saved by Nan Hua, he worked under her and often moved in accordance to where Nan Hua wanted him to be. Since Nan Hua was staying most of her time at the border and frontline, he naturally returned to Heng Xing City.

Here, he assumed the identity of the owner of this small teahouse while passing news to his subordinate.

Mu Yan came here from time to time to take some tea leaves and also delivered the condition of Nan Si Qiao. If anything happened to Nan Hua's aunt, Cai Yao Shu would be the first to know and then told his father to arrange everything before passing the news to Nan Hua.

In other words, he was the one controlling the information in this city.

Though, he would do his work properly as he was trusted by Nan Hua. He went to the back and wrote in a bamboo strip. 'It's still peaceful for now.'

For now.

Because he didn't know when those spies who entered the city would begin to make their moves.
