Everything was prepared quite well, but unfortunately, the heavens didn't cooperate. On this night, the sky began to drizzle, and the rain kept getting heavier.
Trapped inside the house, Xu Zitian sighed with relief. Wu Xingshun patted his chest, "It's raining, so maybe we can save our necks this time, right?"
Zhang County and the others couldn't leave. They were forced to stay in the house to protect themselves.
Fortunately, Xu Zitian and his companion were not ones for indulgence. They didn't like living in the county government office because it would appear to blur the lines between public and private. So they bought a small courtyard with just six rooms, a well, and a small garden.
It was just enough for the two of them and their attendants.
When they came in, they figured out a way to send out a message, but they didn't know if they'd get any help.
