The first day was chaotic. The guards split into several groups. Some set up tents and camps, others searched for food, and a third group scouted the area to ensure everything was safe.
The village where Hui Yue lived was very small and never had a specific name. The villagers were poor, and even if they knew exactly where the village was, no bandits would bother them. However, now Lord Rongrong was a very important person, traveling with two children, and his enemies were likely to send assassins after him when he left the city he managed.
The women in the village would find any excuse to walk past the camp and look at the guards. Some would openly flirt with the men, hoping they would take a liking to them. They hoped the guards would take them away from their impoverished lives. Meanwhile, others would blush and flee when their eyes met.
