Sima Jie drank his tea, calming himself as he prepared for this smoke-free war!
Just then, the screeching sound of sudden braking echoed from below the teahouse!
In the quiet three-story teahouse, the sound of braking was particularly sharp and clear!
Soon after, the teahouse door opened. A man stepped forward and said to Sima Jie, "Young Master Jie, someone has arrived outside, likely Sima Jun's people!"
Sima Jie's brow furrowed slightly, his face darkening as he said, "What's meant to come always comes. Get ready!"
"Yes, Young Master Jie!" The man nodded and then withdrew.
At this moment, Sima Jie was still seated firmly in his bamboo rattan chair, slowly savoring the tea in his cup.
"You all, step back," Sima Jie commanded the traders in the room.
The traders nodded and withdrew to another room.
Moments later, the sound of chaotic footsteps echoed from the hallway outside!
