Mingdequan left, leaving behind a thousand soldiers to do miscellaneous work. Jun Shutong arranged them to go to the other courtyard, and they were responsible for escorting the supplies in the two hundred horse-drawn carriages.
——
At the city gate, in addition to the Jun family, there were also ministers in the court who were on good terms with the Jun family who came to see them off.
"Jun girl, please keep these crystals. They are a token of my appreciation for you. Don't be impulsive in the future. Always put your life and property first."
Qi Mingxiao handed Jun Shutong a small box filled with crystals, all of which he had collected from various sources over the past few days.
