Xia Yan, upon hearing this, looked around and lowered his voice, saying, "No, Lord Qi is not in the capital."
Shu Yu understood immediately that the black market affairs had always been handled by Qi Lie. Since there was still one last place that hadn't been found, Qi Lie was probably out on a mission, hence his feigned illness at home.
She thought of delivering the letter to Qi Lie herself, but now it seemed she would have to rely on Yun to handle it.
Xia Yan quickly arranged for everyone and went to a nearby restaurant to buy some dishes and wine, making do with them for dinner.
There was an old woman cooking in the courtyard, similar to when they were in Changjin Prefecture; hired from the nearby neighborhood, she would return home to sleep at night.
After a day's journey, the group finished their dinner and saw that Meng Yunzheng hadn't returned yet, so they all went back to their rooms to rest.
