Shu Yu was startled and yanked the reins firmly, looking at the man in front of her who seemed intent on taking her carriage.
Upon seeing him, her expression shifted abruptly.
Wasn't this... Cheng Dong?
He was the guard by the governor's side who was identified by Meng Yunzheng as a spy sent by Gong Qiu.
Meng Yunzheng had mentioned that he had already subtly warned the governor, so why hadn't Lord Cheng arrested the man? And now the spy had managed to escape here? Seriously, Lord Cheng, weren't you letting us down?
However, upon second thought, if this man had managed to infiltrate Lord Cheng's side for many years, he wasn't likely to be a simple character.
Given the blood on the tip of his knife, he must've gone through a fierce battle. It was just unclear how serious his injuries were.
Shu Yu was skilled, but her opponent was clearly a master among masters. A head-on confrontation would not be to her advantage.
