An Yi reported to Chu Tianling: "Master, we have captured most of the people here. By the way, this Lord Gao is a garrison stationed near the East China Sea."
After completing their mission, An Yi quickly disappeared into the shadows.
He generally doesn't appear unless absolutely necessary.
Gao Tiankuo had been following An Yi all along, and this time he finally met his leader. Although the other party looked like a matchmaker, he remained calm and smiled whenever he had the chance to go back.
"I am Gao Tiankuo, the garrison commander of the East China Sea. I have met you, sir. May I ask your name?"

Ning Caichen had been standing to the side, listening intently to the conversation between the two sides.
He was secretly delighted, never expecting to run into a legitimate official. He was really set for himself and was determined to get close to him.
I missed out on the credit before, so I'd better make a good impression this time.
As soon as the torchbearer peeked out, Ning Caichen strode forward with great momentum and called out loudly, "Who goes there? State your name!"
