"Alas..."
Su Zhenglong let out a heavy sigh.
"For A-Jing to call someone like Brocade Sect his brother, he must have been an incomparably noble figure before his exile."
"He values loyalty so deeply. If anyone tells me again that he was exiled because he committed some crime, I'll fight them."
Su Yuexi held onto the Su Mansion's doorframe, and at last, tears fell from her eyes.
"Jing Gege, if anything happens to you, I, Su Yuexi, swear that I will kill Duan Chengshan and the others, kill every one of your enemies, then die alongside you."

At the city gates, Yunye City's guards had assembled, thirty thousand strong.
Qiu Ye wore battle armor, looking every inch the imposing general.

Of course, they were not angry because Sikong Jing had become their commander. They were angry because their unit was made entirely of the old, weak, sick, and disabled.
"Set out!"
At Qiu Ye's command, the thirty thousand troops marched out through the city gates in unison.
Some had mounts, while others could only run behind them to keep up.
Given A-Hu and Old Zhang's seniority, they should originally have had mounts. But after offending Qiu Ye, naturally they had none.
