Governor He paused for a moment, unable to suppress his curiosity, "Which route did Imperial Doctor Zhou take to get here?"
As far as he knew, from Suzhou to their Shazhou, there was a section already occupied by a gang of bandits. Although they wouldn't kill all passersby, passing through would require a hefty toll.
And recently, there hadn't been any news of large-scale bandit suppression in Suzhou. Weren't they supposed to coordinate a joint effort after some time?
Manbao seemed to understand what he was asking and said, "We didn't come through Suzhou but crossed over from the desert."
But traveling through the desert wasn't exactly safe either. Governor He wanted to speak, but after thinking it over, he swallowed his words. They had already arrived safely, and mentioning it now was pointless; perhaps they were just lucky?
