The night rain drifted down.
The roads were nearly empty.
Chen Yi silently trailed five li behind Ge Muxiao and Lv Jiunan. He infused his ears with True Essence, listening to their conversation from afar.
The Left King's son?
The Left King...
Chen Yi knew of only one person who held the title of "Left King"—Left King Mu Hage of the Barbarian Race.
He was the one who had led the Barbarian army north to attack Mengshui Pass five years ago, causing the deaths of Xiao Fengchun, Fu Wanqing, and many others from the Xiao family.
'The Left King's son is in Shu State?'
An image of the young barbarian he had seen on his last trip to the East Market immediately surfaced in Chen Yi's mind.
He recalled that the young barbarian had been subtly protected by the other barbarian slaves, which did suggest he was a barbarian of noble status.
'But how could the son of Left King Mu Hage be abducted by people from Poshisu Country, brought to Shu State, and sold as a barbarian slave?'
