Xiao Wan'er naturally wasn't worried about his safety, but she still instructed Xie Tingyun and Shen Huatang to keep an eye on his whereabouts.
Chen Yi went along with it. Bypassing the crowd, he approached Zhang Dabao and the others. Cupping his hands, he asked with a smile, "I heard from those returning to the city that you have grain on hand. Which of you is the Steward?"
Liu Lang slightly raised an eyebrow, about to speak, but saw Zhang Dabao rush ahead of him to bow.
"This humble one greets Mr. Qingzhou," Zhang Dabao said respectfully. "You can discuss any matters directly with me." As he spoke, he winked and signaled with his eyes, indicating that he was at Chen Yi's beck and call.
Chen Yi glanced at him and nodded with a smile. "There are too many eyes and ears here. Why don't we find a quiet place?"
Zhang Dabao naturally had no objections. Pushing past Liu Lang, he invited Chen Yi into the courtyard.
