Soon, Song Yaoyao and the others also learned that Nian Xiaoqing had arrived outside Suyu City with his army.
Under the banner of "avenging my father and wiping out the rebels," Nian Xiaoqing set up camp outside Suyu City.
Song Yaoyao could not help exclaiming:
*[Finally, a prince has reached Suyu City. I feel like I've waited so long the flowers are about to wilt!*
Guagua, are these princes tiptoeing around ants or something?
Nian Xiaoqing brought an army, which slowed his march, and even he's already here.
*The other princes are traveling light. Why haven't they arrived yet?]*
Guagua: [Host, the reason those princes haven't appeared is that they've all gathered in the county town closest to Suyu City. They've reached an agreement and formed an alliance...]
Guagua then explained the princes' plans and their reasons for forming the alliance.
Song Yaoyao: [These princes are pretty clever. An alliance really is their best option right now.]
Guagua: [Nian Fengyuan and Nian Xiaoqing don't know about their alliance yet.
They both think they're the strongest of all the princes and don't give the others a second glance.
Nian Fengyuan and Nian Xiaoqing each regard only the other as their greatest enemy.]
Song Yaoyao: *[Those two really are full of themselves.*
They'll have plenty of chances to regret it later.
*By the way, Guagua, can you get the gossip from the city gates?]*
Guagua: [Yes, Host.
Give me a moment. I'll send you the footage from the city gates.]
Song Yaoyao: [Okay.]
A moment later, the screen above Song Yaoyao's head lit up.
In the video, Suyu City's gates were tightly shut. Xiao Ming, commander of the Forbidden Army, stood atop the gate tower, watching everything outside the city.
Outside the city, Nian Xiaoqing had no intention of attacking Suyu City
