Li Xiaolu found out about the news and returned to report back, but he did not know that the Wan Yuan Qing that he scouted entered from the front gate and exited from the back gate, followed by two people who looked like followers, he went all the way to the dock, revealed his identity card, and boarded a boat that was brought to the north of the ocean. When he reached night time to stop at the pier, he also changed into a black robe, and quietly left the boat, disappearing into the vast night.
On the morning of the fifth day, a small boat came out from the reeds and landed in a sheltered bay. There were already people waiting there. When they saw someone disembark, they went up to him and said, "The general is back."
The man who was called 'general' had a gloomy face. He didn't answer and just got on his horse. He pulled the reins and galloped towards the rising sun.
Four hours later, a large tent filled with light yellow steamed buns appeared in the valley. The sentry on the watchtower saw a group of men running towards them from afar and shouted, "General, return to camp! "The general returns to the camp."
In an instant, the soldiers who were practicing had stopped their movements and stood in formation. The man in front of them lightly pulled on the reins, the horse's hooves raised, and stopped. His gaze swept across everyone's face, his voice clear.
"I'm ready!" The soldiers said in unison, "Swear to follow the general to the death!"
"Alright!" The general waved his hand and said boldly, "Brothers, it is time to end the situation of the partition of the north and south, to unite my East Yue and reunite my body!"
"Unification of the rivers and mountains, reunion of the flesh! "When rivers and mountains unite, we will reunite our flesh and blood!" The soldiers rushed off into the night with loud shouts.
The general nodded in satisfaction and rode his horse through the ranks, entering the largest tent. He took off his cloak and sword and threw them to his retainers. Then, he walked quickly to the sand table and grabbed a small flag. He stared at it for a long time.
Wasn't it said that she had a son, and her husband loved her and lived a happy life? Why did he suddenly disappear, just to find a chance to see her again? But without her, how could she see him again? Pity that little nephew of his, I've never seen this uncle of his …
Although the time was not ripe and his subordinates were all against it, he could not afford to delay any further. He had to go once, and even if he could not see her, it would be good to burn a stick of incense before her spiritual soul.
He originally thought that he would be able to meet Prince Chu, and that it would be his brother-in-law, and also his enemy. He thought that he would be able to see the Prince Chu, and that it would be his brother-in-law, and that he would be his enemy.
It was a pity that the Prince Chu did not appear in the mourning hall, but instead there was the crown prince. He did not raise his eyes, and he knew that the crown prince was suspicious of him, and knew that someone was following him, but he did not care.
He slowly inserted the small flag in his hand into the position marked with Su City on the sand table, and powerfully inserted it in. His eyes were firm and filled with determination, this hatred was irreconcilable, either the Prince Chu died or he died.
Assistant General Guan Xiong rushed in, "General, do you really want to fight?"
"Yes, I have."
"But the emperor has yet to formally give his order, you're doing this without authorization …"
Bai Changjian raised his hand and interrupted him, "The intention of the emperor to transfer me over is very obvious, but since the emperor is too indecisive, delaying him again and again will only harm himself."
"General, let's wait a little longer. After all …"
"It's going to be out in the world. The Jun decree will not be accepted." Bai Changjian stared at the position of the Su City. "Your Majesty can't make up his mind. This general will do it for him.
Seeing his unswerving determination, Guan Xiong knew that he could not persuade him otherwise. Gritting his teeth, he said: "Alright, since the general has decided, I shall follow him to the death." He had a close relationship with Bai Changjian, and since he could not persuade his, he could only follow him.
Bai Changjian patted his shoulder as the corner of his mouth pulled out a slight smile. Men do not need to speak when talking to one another;
"We haven't been in the Armoured Cavalry Battalion for long, and some people might not believe me. Upon hearing the news, they might not say anything on the surface, but they might send a letter to the capital to stop me. I want to kill some chickens to show them to the monkeys as an example."
"This lowly general knows," Guan Xiong said. "Don't worry, General.
"In addition, you should choose a group of people who are able to react quickly and are able to swim. I want to use them as the vanguard!" Bai Changjian laughed coldly, "Aren't they bragging about how great the water masters are? I will burn down Lian Cheng for them, let's see how they can brag about themselves now."
"General Zhi Zun," Guan Xiong said: "This way, they will definitely chase us relentlessly. As long as we are on the land, it would be time for us to show our might."

Prince Chu only came out of the house three days later. Ning Jiu was startled when he saw him, his face exceptionally pale, not to mention that his hair was a little messy, but both his temples had already turned completely white. A single lock of white hair hung between his black hair, which was indescribably strange.
Qi Hong was just about to bring the food over, but seeing him like this, she was obviously very scared, and almost dropped the thing in her hands. "Elder, you, you …"
Morong Gan indifferently swept her with his gaze, "Set the food in the side hall."
Qi Hong replied, she did not dare say more, and quickly carried the food to the side hall.
Morong Gan ate for a long time and also ate a lot, practically sweeping away all the food in the meal, as though he was going to fill up his stomach which had been empty for a few days.
Everyone was shocked to see him like this. His hair had turned white overnight. This was something that only existed in the rumors, but now it was happening right in front of their eyes. It could only be described as shocking!
After three days and three nights, without eating or drinking, without resting, it was unbearable for anyone. Wei Zhongqing mustered up his courage to ask for blood, but Morong Gan actually cooperated and extended his hand out obediently. Wei Zhongqing placed two of his fingers on the bed, closed his eyes and concentrated for a while, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
For the next four days, he still went to Bai Qianfan and Heir's coffin to burn incense and paper, but he ate his three meals on time and came out after a set amount of time to discuss matters with Han Tong and the generals.
"Your Highness," Han Tong told him the latest news, "Bai Changjian left Weishui's camp, his whereabouts unknown."
Morong Gan said in a low voice, "Go investigate."
Jia Tong's heart moved as he voiced out the doubt that the crown prince had shown that day. After being silent for a long time, Morong Gan said with a terrifyingly cold expression, "He's quite bold to actually dare come into my residence alone."
Han Tong was shocked, "Your Highness thinks that Wan Yueqing is Bai Changjian? Do you want me to send someone to chase him? "
"If he has the confidence to come, then he naturally has the confidence to leave." Morong Gan muttered to himself for a moment, "Today, we will transfer the navy to the north of the Lanjiang River, and send the troops of the Fifth Battalion down the mountain path. The time of the incident is set to be the day of Princess Wangfei's funeral."
On that day, he would formally wield the sword of vengeance, slashing all the ghosts, snakes, and gods that had killed his happiness in front of him.
Thousand Sail, walk slowly on the Road to River Styx. When you entrust this land to others, I will come and find you.
