Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 915

Before it even got dark, rain had already began to pour hard. As it got progressively darker, the booming thunder and crackling lightning made people feel very depressed. For Shawn, however, the storm gave him an opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief as it could give him and his men a chance to rest. With such a heavy downpour, the Great Jade Kingdom wouldn't be able to continue attacking the Dragon Pass.

"Guard," Shawn authoritatively called out.

"Yes, General," a guard replied respectfully.

"I believe the heavy rains would deter the Great Jade Kingdom from trying to stage another attack against us. Despite that, we must not let our guards down. So deliver this message to every one of our soldiers: be alert and do not let your guard down. A sudden attack from the Great Jade Kingdom cannot be ruled out, so we all need to get ready." Shawn was always very scrupulous. Although he knew that Rolando wouldn't attack the pass at such a time, he still ordered his men to be on high alert.

"Yes, general," the guard replied, leaving at once to fulfill his duties.

As he stood by the corridor watching the rain drench everything around him, Shawn suddenly thought of Felton. Before Harper left, she asked him to keep an eye on him, but he hadn't had the opportunity to see him. Now that he had a bit of a downtime, he figured out it would be best if he paid him a visit.

"General, where are you going? The rain is pouring really hard outside," the guard at the entrance remarked as he saw his general getting ready to leave. "You will be soaked, General, so I suggest you just stay inside."

"I just want to go out for a walk." As soon as he said that, he disappeared in the rain.

The guard scratched his head in confusion as he asked his fellow guards, "Who the hell would want to go on a walk in such weather?"

His fellow guards in the entrance looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. They all knew that no sane human being would want to have a walk when it was raining so hard outside that one couldn't see what was in front of him. Besides that, the roaring thunder and lightning would be enough to make anyone reconsider their plans.

"The general has been so stressed lately. This is the first time he has had time to rest, so maybe he just really wants to go out and relax for a while, notwithstanding the storm."
