Chapter 17: What Fu Wrote

Han had a blanket around his waist and a sword in his hand before the second knock.

Mo had not moved from the cot.

He lay on one elbow with white hair across the pillow and a look of calm interest.

He did not reach for anything to cover himself.

"Mo."

"It's Wen Qi. I recognize the knock."

"You're naked."

"So is he, in a manner of speaking. He's a crow."

Han opened the shutter.

Wen Qi hopped in off the sill.

Behind him on the ladder stood a round-faced young man in a fisherman's wet coat that did not fit.

He was shivering, and he clutched a bundle to his chest.

"Marshal," said Qin Shu.

His voice cracked.

Then he saw Han's bare shoulders, and the blanket, and the bed, and the very large, very white-haired man on it.

His ears went red to the tips.

"I'll wait outside," he said.

"You will climb in and shut the window," said Han. "It's freezing."

Qin Shu climbed in, and kept his eyes on the floor.

"You are alive," Han said.

"So are you, sir." Qin Shu's chin wobbled.

"They told us at the Fort you were a traitor, and that Lord Mo had eaten your heart."
