Chapter 20: Nothing Heroic

By midnight the rain had come, and Mian was packing his apron.

He had two shirts, a bowl and a bun wrapped in paper, and none of it took long.

He tied the bundle to a stick in the baggage shed, where the Bluebrook carts stood in a row with their shafts in the air.

The roof drummed.

He was good at leaving, which he was beginning to dislike.

"I'll tell the Council it was all me," he muttered to the nearest cart.

"I took the tally. I let people kneel."

"Shouyi was only trying to keep order, because that's his job, and he was fooled like everyone else."

"No," said a voice from the door.

Mian did not turn around.

"It's a good plan," he said. "Everyone believes it already. You've been the most fooled man in the sect for a week."

"I have not been fooled once."

"You were fooled a little."

"I was not."

Shouyi came in out of the rain, soaked to the skin, with his topknot undone and his hair plastered to his neck.

"You are not leaving."

"I'm not good for the sect. I'm a customer."
