Leaving the Capital, Storms Rise in You Province

Nothing major happened during those three days; perhaps the biggest event was that the Prince of Qin was about to be Enfeoffed as King and leave the capital.

At the hour of Chen on the sixteenth day of the first month, Tiandu City, a black and white torrent appeared, resembling a raging flood. The two armies merged into one, clearly distinguished by their black and white colors, and on their military flags hung a prominent Qin character.

The army was perfectly aligned, and with their appearance, a fierce aura permeated the air. The three thousand soldiers were fully armed and ready to go.

"I'm leaving."

Chu Xuanao stood in the courtyard, looking at his own yard, ready to set off.

It has been more than seven years since he was enfeoffed Enfeoffed as King at the age of eleven. This former prince's residence has now become the Prince of Qin's Manor with two plaques hanging on it. It is really hard to bear. I wonder when he will return next.

After paying my respects to my Imperial Father and mother in the morning, I also went to see my younger sister.

After that, I took a detour to Xuanwu Avenue and walked through Xuanwu Gate.

After returning to the residence to reorganize, it is now past Chenshi (7-9 AM), time to go.

Chu Xuanao turned around and looked at Yi Dao and Haitang, saying...

"Capital is now in your hands. If anything happens, contact Golden Light Mirror. If it's urgent, you can make a decision first and then report back."

If all else fails and the problem remains unresolved, go to the Duke Fu's Mansion and the Stone Grotto Great Buddha Temple, reveal your identity Heaven Beyond Heaven, and they will intervene.

Yidao and Haitang said in unison.

"I will obey Your Highness's orders. Please Your Highness assured."

Chu Xuanao nodded and walked out of the courtyard. These words he had instructed Yidao and Haitang should not be known to outsiders. Apart from the three of them, Yuan Tiangang, and the Ghost Servant, no one else should know.

Stepping outside the courtyard, Chu Xuanao looked at the Three Tiger of Weihu Mountain, pondered for a moment, and said...

"The three of you can stay in Capital! Since you three followed me, you established Weihu Mountain outside Capital. Now that Weihu Mountain has disbanded, and you are familiar with all sides of Capital, you can stay in Capital and cooperate with Yidao and the others!"

The three of them said in unison.

"As Your Highness commands."

Chu Xuanao had already dispersed the forces of Weihu Mountain, and all the men were now under the control of Yi Dao and Haitang, serving as peripheral personnel of the Dragon Guard Manor.

He's leaving. Seven Balefuls has already gone to You Province. If he were still standing guard at Weihu Mountain outside the Capital, some petty people might want to take revenge.

After speaking, Chu Xuanao looked at his Maternal Uncle, Bai Feihong.

"Maternal Uncle, I'm entrusting them to you. Yidao and Haitang will need your help in some areas."

Bai Feihong said with a slight smile.

Don't worry!

Chu Xuanao glanced at the remaining group and said in a deep voice.

"Gentlemen, it's time to set off."

After saying this, Chu Xuanao boarded the carriage, and the group left the Prince of Qin's Manor in a grand procession.

Upon arriving Tiandu City, Chu Xuanao stopped the carriage. There was no other way; Crown Prince Chu Xuanhao, Second Prince Chu Xuantian, Fourth Prince Chu Xuan'an, and some officials were all present.

After a brief conversation and farewell, Chu Xuanao stepped onto the roof of the carriage, head held high, eyes sharp. His Ghost Servant drove the carriage to the Silver Feather Cavalry and Black Armored Army, revealing the tiger tally.

"Guang Xing, commander of the Silver Feather Cavalry, greets Your Prince."

"Black Armored Army Mo Pan of the Black Armor Army greets Your Prince."

After the two commanders knelt to welcome them, a thousand Silver Feather Cavalry, two thousand Black Armored Army, and three thousand soldiers bowed their heads in welcome, like waves rising and falling, a magnificent sight.

"Greetings, Your Prince."

Chu Xuanao's majestic voice, infused with his inner energy, rang out.

"Rise, gentlemen, and prepare for the march."

After saying this, Chu Xuanao returned to the carriage. With the Qin banner fluttering in the wind, the Black Armored Army led the way, Ghost Servant drove the carriages, and the Prince of Qin's Manor's caravan was in the middle. Nearly a hundred carriages carried the Prince of Qin's Manor's property. The caravan was grand and imposing, with Silver Feather Cavalry behind. The group headed towards You Province.

Inside the carriage, Chu Xuanao closed his eyes and pondered. Counting the 20,000 troops of Hanshan Prefecture, these 3,000 personal guards, and the 50,000 Bingzhou Wolf Riders in his spatial dimension, this was the main event: the 50,000 cavalry.

With an army of over 70,000 to nearly 80,000, and fierce generals like Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun, the foundation is in place. The Great Feng is not far off in this Battle of Youzhou. Just wait and see!

On the day the Prince of Qin left the capital for his fiefdom, another storm was brewing in You Province.

In the Shenying Marquis Manor, Wang Hanying looked at a secret letter sent from Great Feng Dynasty, her heart filled with solemnity and shock.

Looking at his son Wang Long beside him, he spoke slowly.

"They've arrived! The Great Feng has already mobilized its troops, and the supplies have been moved. Your Highness of Prince of Qin, is truly well-informed!"

Although she had been prepared, when the matter was actually presented to her, Wang Hanying still found it hard to accept and didn't want to accept it.

No one who has actually fought in a war wants another to happen. Even Wang Hanying, who had experienced two major wars and participated in countless smaller battles, did not want another major war to break out.

Suddenly remembering something, Wang Hanying asked.

"Is Your Highness leaving the capital today?"

Wang Long, who was standing to the side, nodded in response.

"Yes, Mother. When the Enfeoffed as King was conferred the title last year, His Majesty granted Your Highness Prince of Qin special permission to set off for his fiefdom after the Lantern Festival this year. He should be departing today."

Wang Hanying said with a touch of emotion.

"Your Highness, your luck is truly... ah!"

This Your Highness, accompanied by his personal guards and chariots, traveled along the official road. Even at the fastest pace, it would take at least a month, and at the slowest, more than a month.

As for Great Feng, its provisions have already been mobilized, and troops have begun to be deployed in the Eastern Border. According to current intelligence, the start of the war will take at least a month. In other words, by the time Prince of Qin Your Highness, Great Feng will be almost ready, and the great war will officially begin.

Just as Wang Hanying was thinking, a voice came from outside.

"Madam, Lord Marquis, Prefect Lu Shuangxing and General Qian Shan have arrived. They say they have important matters to discuss with you."

The two exchanged a glance, Wang Hanying said in a deep voice.

"Looks like they've received the news too. Let's go, let's discuss it first."

While these three people in charge of the entire You Province were gathered to discuss their plans, in a hidden underground palace in Cold Mountain, Zhu Wushi, Bai Yi, Cheng Shifei, and others stood.

In the underground corridor, dozens of figures were imprinted on the wall. Inside the palace, corpses lay everywhere, and blood stained the air. Zhu Wushi held a person's head in his hand and asked with a sharp look in his eyes.

"I'll ask you one more time, where is the person in charge of your Shadow Kill Hall?"

This is the main hall of the Shadow Kill Hall in Cold Mountain, as Yuan Tiangang mentioned. Originally, this group of people were going to wait until His Your Highness arrived before dealing with the matter, but news from the Great Feng had already reached You Province, and a great battle was about to begin.

Zhu Wushi originally intended to talk to the Shadow Kill Hall and ask them to contribute to the upcoming Battle of Youzhou. However, upon arriving, he discovered that all of the Shadow Kill Hall' main high-ranking members had fled, leaving only a few small fry.

The person whose head was being squeezed by Zhu Wushi had a deathly pale and ferocious face, with bloodshot eyes and two streaks of blood flowing from the corners of their eyes. These were the bloodstains from Zhu Wushi's hands squeezing their head.

The man's voice sounded like he was in pain, and he pleaded softly, speaking haltingly.

"Senior, this is a stronghold of my palace, and I am the one in charge!"

As he spoke, the man's face contorted in pain, and he wailed in agony. His eyeballs seemed to burst out of his eyes, and thin streams of blood shot out from the gaps between his eyeballs and eyelids.

Zhu Wushi exerted force with his hand, and a cracking sound was heard from the skull. True energy surged into the skull, and he spoke in a cold tone.

"I'll ask you one last time, where did they go? When did they leave? And in which direction did they go?"

"Ah, senior, ah, what I said is all true."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud "bang," and Zhu Wushi crushed his head.
