Chapter 12: The Marshal Counts
Marshal Jin Tianyu rode through the gate on a white horse, and the horse's hooves did not touch the cracked line.
He lifted it over, politely.
Luan watched from the line of maids in the courtyard, with Mei's hand tight on her elbow.
Fifty soldiers in gold armor followed him.
They filled the yard with a ringing, and every maid around Luan took a small step back.
The Marshal dismounted.
He was tall and lean, perhaps thirty-eight to look at, with a neat black beard and a smooth, kind face.
A jade fan hung from his belt.
He bowed to Cangjue, who stood at the top of the steps in his black robe.
Cangjue's arms were folded, and his jaw was set.
"Sovereign Yan," he said warmly. "It has been nine hundred years. You look better than I had feared."
"Marshal."
"Please, forgive the early arrival. The roads were clear." Jin smiled. "May I?"
He climbed the steps.
He stood in front of Cangjue and did not ask again.
He reached out with two fingers and laid them against the gold thread where it left the Sovereign's chest.
Luan felt it in her own empty ribs.
It felt as if someone had put a hand on the back of her neck.
Cangjue did not move.
His eyes stayed fixed on the Marshal's face, and a vein jumped in his temple.
