Yang Xiao and several others were brought back to the Earl Mansion by a troop of soldiers, including Chang Chuchu, who had been surveilling covertly outside. Although the soldiers' attitude was not pleasant, fortunately, they did not give them a hard time.
Passing through the main gate of the Earl Mansion, the group noticed that a royal banner had been erected outside the gate, with Prince Qi's insignia displayed, hinting that after a bumpy journey, Prince Qi and his entourage had chosen the Earl Mansion as their stop for the night, unaware that a large net had already been cast here.
Once inside these doors, leaving again would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Entering the Earl Mansion through a back door and returning to the familiar courtyard, this time, Yang Xiao noticed there were several more pairs of malicious eyes nearby.
