Ye Shikai didn't ride very fast, taking a full two hours to reach the county seat. The guards followed behind but didn't dare get too close, for fear of disturbing the two of them...
"Alright, we're here." Ye Shikai escorted He Linghan to the entrance of the market, carefully helping her off the warhorse. Many of the townspeople in the market turned their gaze here, curiously looking at He Linghan, asking each other if anyone recognized this girl.
"Mr. Ye, you have official duties, you'd better hurry to the camp." He Linghan instinctively took two steps back, noticing that many gazes had turned her way. She didn't like this feeling.
"Alright, I'll come to pick you up after you're done shopping." Ye Shikai nodded, not giving her a chance to refuse.
"Xue San, take a few brothers and change into civilian clothes to protect her. There are many people in the market with diverse eyes, I'm worried about her safety." Ye Shikai said softly.
