Shen Huaixu reluctantly tried to follow in his wheelchair, but was stopped by Liu Huo.

Liu Huo said expressionlessly, "My master said it would be best for Lord Shen to recuperate in Yanzhou."

Shen Huaixu gritted his teeth and said angrily, "This is house arrest."

Liu Huo seemed not to hear, simply waving for someone to keep an eye on Shen Huaixu, then followed Shen Jintang, leaving Shen Huaixu standing there, filled with resentment and doubt.

"Master, do we really need to return to Kyoto so soon?"

Now that Yanzhou has just been pacified, according to the master's temperament, he usually waits until the dust settles before leaving, so that he can firmly control Yanzhou and have confidence for the future.

But why is Master in such a hurry to return to Kyoto overnight?

Shen Jintang lightly leaped onto the horse's back, glanced coldly at Liu Huo, and said in a calm but authoritative tone: "If I have to do everything myself, what's the point of raising you all?"

Although Shen Jintang's tone was calm as water, Liu Huo could clearly feel a strong sense of oppression coming towards him, as if a mountain was pressing down on his heart, making him unable to breathe instantly.

He immediately knelt down, lowered his head, and said in a voice filled with fear and remorse, "Your subordinate knows his mistake."

Shen Jintang didn't say another word. He simply spurred the horse's flanks, and the steed galloped away like an arrow, disappearing from everyone's sight in an instant, leaving only a series of crisp hoofbeats echoing in the air.

At the same time, the people inside the government office also quietly withdrew, disappearing into the night like ghosts.

No one knows where they went or when they will reappear, as if they had never existed, yet they constantly evoke an invisible threat.
