The courtyard was not large, housing an old woman and a young boy.
After closing the door, the old woman called the boy over and told him to quickly deliver the message, which the steward had entrusted to a servant, out of the city to their master.
The young boy agreed repeatedly, led out a small donkey from the back courtyard, and rode out of the city on it. The donkey trotted along, not as fast as a horse, but in a short while, it had covered several miles.
Mo Zhu, following Mei Shuyan's instructions, did not dare to take any chances, even with a boy with no martial arts skills, and cautiously followed him from a distance.
The boy riding the donkey managed to catch up with the caravan after traveling more than ten miles.
