But when asked about the news of the Lord of Gaoyi, Bai Jinzhi, Li Chunyao shook his head, saying that the Lord of Gaoyi had led troops out of the city to rescue General Zhang Duanrui. However, later, Xun Tianzhang sent back the body of General Zhang Duanrui but did not send back any news of the Lord of Gaoyi.
Bai Qingyan was even more anxious.
The next morning, Bai Qingyan and her party arrived at the south gate of Longyang City.
Li Chunyao stepped forward and shouted, "I am Li Chunyao, deputy general of Youhua City, under General Wang Ruian, coming with the Princess of Zhen! Open the city gates!"
"Princess of Zhen?!" The soldiers on the city gate looked down, seeing no reinforcements, just twenty-something people. They quickly turned and shouted, "Hurry, report to the general that the Princess of Zhen has arrived, but she only brought... over twenty people!"
