After leaving Yalidu City, Gu Xi's thoughts had already shifted to this final village.
Thomson, who was guarding here, had long since received the news brought by the troops Gu Xi sent out.
He'd prepared everything here ahead of time.
Seeing Gu Xi come out from the Garrison Gate, he didn't ask much at all, just very honestly followed behind Gu Xi.
After Gu Xi walked a circuit around the place, he found there were still some traces of battle outside this temporary encampment.
That made Gu Xi chuckle a little; he could tell Thomson had deliberately left these traces alone as a way of taking credit.
It was to show Gu Xi how important this temporary encampment was in his eyes.
Looks like Thomson already knows a few things and has made his choice.
With Thomson having this sort of idea, Gu Xi naturally wouldn't object; in any case, arranging some other Hero is still arranging, leaving Thomson here is also arranging—keeping someone who's personally willing is even better.
