It was not until around three quarters past 9 p.m. that a carriage arrived at the post station, bringing three people to the imperial guard camp.
The person driving the carriage was not dressed in the clothes of the Li State imperial guards, but looked more like a personal attendant of Situ Jing.
Without saying a word, he brought the three people into Situ Jing's large tent and silently stood by the entrance of the tent flaps.
Situ Jing was startled when he saw the three people entering, but upon seeing that they were brought in by his own personal attendant, he immediately understood, stood up, and scrutinized the three before gesturing to Lu Qing, "Please, this way, sir."
Lu Qing approached as Situ Jing produced a thick cloth bundle, carefully placing it on the table, unfolding the wrapped cloth layers one by one.
Zhu Yu, also curious, thought there might be something rare inside. But as the last layer was removed, it turned out to be just a waist card.
