"Let's wait a bit longer before we go," Ye Jiu began, "Prince Sikong has already agreed to help us gather information, and from here on out, we'll be hitting the road with them. Thus, we won't need Lu Biaotou and his escort any longer. You go and make arrangements for Lu Biaotou, and let them return home."
"This..." Ye Wenzheng was somewhat troubled, "What about the horses on our side? And what about the silver for Lu Biaotou and his men?"
Originally, it was agreed that escorting them to and from the capital city would cost a total of two thousand taels of silver, half of which had already been paid. But now, they were asked to return halfway through the job. Furthermore, what was once a group of twenty was reduced to only six due to Dongzi's betrayal, leaving Ye Wenzheng uncertain about how to settle the silver.
