CLIP-CLOP, CLIP-CLOP. The sound of horse hooves echoed endlessly on the streets of Yinling City. Due to the rain, there were few people on the road, allowing the horse to gallop freely.
The rider lifted his bamboo hat, revealing Li Huowang's resolute gaze. He held the reins with one hand and pulled a slip of paper from within his robes, checking it once more.
This was a Pigeon Message from Tuoba Danqing, with few words on it: "Summons from Record of Appearance. Come quickly. Yinling Prison."
Li Huowang felt he understood Tuoba Danqing quite well by now. For a man like him to issue instructions without even stopping to eat or drink was proof enough of the matter's urgency.
He had no idea whether this would be a blessing or a curse, so all he could do was prepare for the worst.
Fortunately, he was all alone in the world now; there was nothing to fear even if the worst came to pass.
