Sundial was kicked and was about to say something when another guard returned after relieving himself, accompanied by Fengquan, whose expression was never good.
Just like the great general Xin Ye in Dongyang Kingdom, there is also a great general in Nancai Kingdom, namely Feng Quan. However, unlike Xin Ye, Feng Quan is extremely loyal to the king of Nancai Kingdom. Especially because of Mu Gui's harmless nature, this great general has really been very worried about him.
Feng Quan was extremely cautious about Mu Gui taking two people of unknown origin with him. It was nothing unusual for him to send people to observe the scenery and sundial from time to time. Just like today, he would occasionally come over to investigate himself.
Fengguang and the sundial exchanged a glance and said in perfect unison, "Greetings, General."
Feng Quan nodded and asked, "I wonder if you two have been getting used to your stay here these past few days?"
“Very good,” the sundial said. “It is our honor to serve His Majesty.”
The scenery nodded in agreement.
"That's good. His Majesty will soon be setting off for another county. The journey will be arduous. I think you two come from good backgrounds, so I hope you can be patient and not cause any trouble on the way."
Upon hearing the words "good background," Fengguang and Rigui were already at ease. Of course, they knew that their words were full of loopholes, and they couldn't understand why Mu Gui was keeping them here. Anyway, they were already here and couldn't escape, so they naturally accepted their fate.
Feng Quan added, "Of course, if you two can't endure the hardship, I can arrange for you to stay and work in the yamen here, instead of leaving with His Majesty."
He meant... that he could help the two of them leave Mugui?
Feng Guang certainly didn't want to leave, but when she looked at the sundial, she frowned and thought that he must want to leave and go back to Dongyang Kingdom. How could she stay but also make the sundial leave?
Just as she was struggling with this question, she heard the sundial say, "His Majesty helped us, and we are grateful people. Since His Majesty saved us, we will serve His Majesty wholeheartedly for the rest of our lives."
Feng Guang's eyes widened. Wait a minute, why didn't the sundial say that he was willing to leave?
Feng Quan's face darkened, and he snorted, "Then I wish you both good luck."
After Fengquan left, Fengguang glanced at the other guard, pulled the sundial aside, and quietly asked, "Why don't you want to leave?"
"Although Fengquan said he was willing to let us leave, it's hard to guarantee that he wouldn't have other ideas."
"How do you say this?"
Sundial glanced at the scenery with a nonchalant air, displaying the arrogance of an intellectual looking down on an illiterate woman. "Fengquan's offer to help us leave might just be a test. Don't forget, he's always believed we deliberately approached Mu Gui with impure motives. And from what I've heard, he's the kind of person who'd rather kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free. He's actually wanted to take action against us for a long time, but he couldn't because of Mu Gui."
Feng Guang understood, "So... now Mu Gui is like our lifeline."
“That’s right,” the sundial said. “During this time, I need to find a way as soon as possible to use the divine power that can teleport people away again.”
Feng Guang seemed to realize something and asked, "Aren't you a high priest? And you have divine power, so you must be very powerful too. What, you can't beat Feng Quan?"
