Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After traveling for almost a day, they were more familiar with Hanshan Town.

At night, because of exhaustion, Lin Xiaoyue finally slept better.

The next day, at night.

After dinner, Lin Xiaoyue placed the two footwarmers on the bed.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Xiaoyue’s expression changed.

“Who is it?” She asked.

“Mistress, Cheng An requests an audience.” Cheng An’s whispering voice immediately came from outside the door.

Lin Xiaoyue quickly went to open the door.

Sure enough, she saw Cheng An and two people behind him.

“Please come in!” Lin Xiaoyue’s face lit up with joy as she hurriedly welcomed the three of them into the room.

Yes, the two people behind Cheng An were Head Fang and Manager Liang, whom she had been waiting for.

The two of them were not there by dinnertime. She thought that they would arrive tomorrow. She didn’t expect them to arrive at night.

The few of them bowed to Lin Xiaoyue and then told her about the situation.

They said that the matter had basically been settled.

“There are people in the towns mentioned earlier to receive the soldiers.”

“And even if the contact fails, they can go to the local restaurant owned by the Liang family.”

“Go straight to the kitchen and find the person in charge. The chefs and managers of each restaurant had received orders and would act accordingly.”

Lin Xiaoyue’s expression turned solemn.

“There can’t be any accidents. The contact must be successful.” She said in a deep voice.

Manager Liang hurriedly bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Lin. I’ve already warned them that they must not be careless.”

He looked at Lin Xiaoyue. “The soldiers will not have to go to them.” As he spoke, beads of sweat appeared on Manager Liang’s forehead.

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Head Fang.

Seeing him nod, she did not say more.

“Please sit down. Please don’t take offense. This is a very important matter. If they are not careful, not only the Nangong Army, but the Liang Trading Company and the Prince might also be in danger.” Lin Xiaoyue said.

“Yes.” Manager Liang wiped the sweat off his forehead and sat back down.

When Manager Liang calmed down, Lin Xiaoyue asked again.

“How’s the arrangement for the ships going?”

She wasn’t really worried about the people on land. What worried her the most were the 3,000 people who were taking the water route.

Manager Liang bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.

“I rushed here in a hurry just to tell you about this.”

“As Hanshan Town’s dock is too small, if there are too many fishing boats coming at once, I’m afraid it’ll be too eye-catching. Therefore, I have instructed them to only dock at Hanshan Town after midnight tomorrow night.”

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue did not speak, he continued, “there are a total of 6 fishing boats, all big. It’s not a problem to arrange 500 people in each!”

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Head Fang again.

Seeing him nod, she relaxed a little.

After asking a few more questions, she asked them to go rest.

Then, when they returned Lin Xiaoyue discussed the next arrangements with Cheng An and Head Fang.

After that, she wrote a letter to Li Xiao and asked Cheng An to pass it on.

In the middle of the night, in the tent of the central army.

Li Xiao finally received a letter from Lin Xiaoyue.

After reading the contents of the letter, a hint of emotion flashed across his eyes.

“What did she say? When can we retreat?” Xiao Yang couldn’t wait any longer.

Li Xiao kept the letter.

Suppressing the emotions in his heart, he glanced at Xiao Yang indifferently.

“What’s the hurry? It’s not time yet.” He said in a deep voice.

The fishing boat would only arrive after midnight tomorrow, and there was still a whole day before the evacuation.

The more critical the situation was, the more they needed to remain calm.

Xiao Yang’s face fell.

He glared at Li Xiao and walked away.

Li Xiao could not help but smile.

Then, he sighed and began to think about the next arrangements.

They would start making arrangements after nightfall tomorrow night to avoid attracting the attention of the Imperial Court army nearby.

Then, he would make his move at midnight. After rushing back to Hanshan Town, he would take the fishing boat and leave…

After thinking for a while, Li Xiao took a pen and paper and replied to Lin Xiaoyue.

After handing it over to the messenger, Li Xiao returned to the bed and lay down.

Time passed.

The next night finally arrived amidst the nervousness of some people.

At this moment, in the camp of the Nangong Army..
