At this moment, the other person jumped off the cart, took off his straw hat and raincoat, and Zheng Quchi immediately saw the boy's cold and stern face in the cold wind and morning dew.
His greyish-black eyes fell on her, a half-smile playing on his lips.
"It's you! What are you doing here again? Didn't you say you'd wait for my notification?"
Zheng Quchi quickly jumped off the cart and subconsciously looked around to see if anyone was there.
Ya seemed amused by her current nervous appearance: "Qu Chi, you seem quite different from before. You wouldn't have been so easily frightened in the past, nor would you have gotten on a stranger's oxcart so carelessly."

Hearing that the person was alright, Zheng Quchi didn't want to get into any other matters and asked directly, "What do you want?"
Ya shrugged and, to her satisfaction, only talked about the important matters and didn't mention the past.
“I forgot to tell you before, I scouted Yuwen Sheng’s camp but didn’t find Qiu. I only saw the others being imprisoned together. So before the operation begins, you’d better infiltrate the camp and find out where Qiu is being held.”
Zheng Quchi thought for a moment and said, "I helped build the camp. If Qiu is not imprisoned with others, he is likely being held in the Nanshan Water Prison. You can go and check it out."
