On the afternoon Lory left her little disciple rest in the inn while she get outside on her own she was sitting in the lavish teahouse at the second floor her table is near the wood fence with the street view, she drink calmly but her eyes watch the street closely than not long after an old man with white and tangerine color robes enter the tea house with two bodyguards following her.

The teahouse shopkeeper seems has waiting for his arrival he immediately lead him to the second floor where the area is quieter and private compare to the first floor, every room is divided with wooden partition and hidden behind the curtain to give the customer privacy and the second room table is more expensive compared to the first floor and that's why customer in the second floor treated more special compare and that's the other reason no one dares to question why Lory sits alone in her table without anyone waiting for her which is not common for woman in this world. ​​

The room across from her, a man behind the curtain is sitting alone with two bodyguards guarding him behind the curtain not long after the shopkeeper and the tangerine robes man come than the shopkeeper lift the curtain so the man with tangerine robes could enter and his bodyguard waiting outside the curtain with the other man bodyguard, the four-man look each other with vigilant expression while their master talking inside.

Lory let out a long sigh it's unfortunate she can't even read their lips when the curtain blocked her view but from there gesture it seems they're in a heat conversation where the tangerine robes man is in the losing side so perhaps the other man has a higher position than him.

Then a good thing happened the shopkeeper himself come to serve the wine at first he hesitated to enter but after the man behind the curtain wave his hand to let the shopkeeper enter the bodyguard lift the curtain and the shopkeeper served the wine in a quick pace but enough for Lory to catch the word 'Boy' and 'war' before the shopkeeper left and the curtain pull down.

Her eyebrows slowly furrow, the man she had been following is Qian Qi Feng, he is the District magistrate of Ching Su city. Lory ask if they're anyone with the same name but they say it's only one people with that name, maybe Shin Jiu grandfather knew about this that's why he only gives his grandson a name and the city although she's not sure how Shin Jiu find him if she was not there, he only seven years old for God's sake!

Not long after the strange man and Qian Qi Feng leave the room but before leave the strange man turn around and said with warning expression "Make sure he didn't know about this!"

Qian Qi Feng bend his waist and said politely "Of course"

The strange man flicked his robes and left in harrumphs, Qian Qi Feng's face remains kind but after the strange man climbs down his face turn to menace than he shifts his gaze to his bodyguard "No news from the boy?"

"No, Master Qin!" the bodyguard said anxiously.

Qian Qi Feng clicked his tongue as he leaves the room while stomping his feet angrily.

Lory leans her back on the chair while her hand twist the empty teacup, she pretty sure the boy they meant is Shin Jiu but what they mean about war, the only war she knew is the war that waged by Zhao Li Xin but what is the connection between them and who is the man they can't allow to know? to know what?

Lory suddenly got tired and pressed her head to the cool wooden table, she wonders why is never simple when it comes to her life, can God give her a break? And why Girsha still sleeping? Lory wants to cry but they're's no tears so she whines alone in her table.

Suddenly someone called them "Mister if you look for an inn, that place is closed for almost two weeks," said the old lady with a skinny little girl with her both of them look malnourished.

"Granny, do you know what happened to this place?" one of the men asked.

The old lady sigh "One day a woman and the boy past to this city and that four awful man wants to kidnap the boy for the governor in exchange of money, thankfully the God not blind the four men got knocked out by someone and the man and the boy disappear together with the owner of this place" the granny tells the story with vexed expression, she hated the governor who like molesting young boy and what kinda people kidnapped other people son just for money, even when she's hungry she would never sell other people son to that animal.

"Can you describe the woman and the boy?" the man asked again.

"Well, I only see her once…." The old lady pinches his chin "But she looks quite nice she wears a beautiful dress and she looks rich but the boy robe is not so good, it's weird why they dressed differently that's why I remember…..I don't remember anything else" said the old lady with apologetic smile.

"Here, feed you're granddaughter" he gives a few silver to the old lady and her hand trembles when she see how much money on her palm, she can't stop smiling and bow repeatedly.

"Wait, do you know who is the men who try to kidnapped the boy and also the name of the owner of this inn?"

The old lady nodded her head "Yes!"

The two men look at each other with a meaningful gaze.
