"I'm preparing to take Yu Shu back to Great Qin," Jiang Hao said.
King of Goguryeo, who had still been admiring those exquisite porcelain wares, paused slightly and turned to look at his daughter. He found her eyes already somewhat red. "Won't you stay a few more days? There's still plenty of time. I was thinking of properly hosting the Imperial Preceptor."
Jiang Hao shook his head. "There are matters at home, so I can't delay for too long. Besides, I need to return and prepare to attack Jin Shengzhou. He dared lay a hand on Yu Shu, so this must be settled. Your Majesty must also make preparations as soon as possible. At the latest, the first wave of attacks must begin within a month, drawing Jin Shengzhou's men toward the Jinshan region. Then I'll strike when the time is right."
King of Goguryeo knew that important matters came first, so he could not press him to stay.
Carriages headed for the river one after another. Many of them carried Yu Shu's dowry, accompanied by a hundred male servants and a hundred maidservants.
King of Goguryeo and the others arrived by the river. When he saw Jiang Hao's great ship, he sighed inwardly once more. As expected of Great Qin. Such an enormous warship could probably only be built by Great Qin today. No wonder he had been able to bring over a thousand guards at once.
The dowry and servants boarded the ship.
By the riverbank, Yu Shu bid farewell to her family. She was about to travel thousands of miles away, perhaps never to see them again in this lifetime. Tears streamed down her cheeks like falling pearls.
"Father, your daughter is leaving. Please take good care of yourself," Yu Shu said through tears.
