Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi waited with the Bai family guards at the foot of the mountain. As the morning sun leaped over the mountain's peak, illuminating the entire region, cheers erupted from the mountain top.
Bai Jinzhi's eyebrows revealed a smile: "Eldest Young Lady, it seems we can report to the Crown Prince and the Emperor now."
"Such great news naturally needs to be reported to the Crown Prince..."
After reporting to the Crown Prince, Ji Tingyu and his group probably needed to stage another raid to show the Crown Prince that the bandit problem was not yet solved and Shuoyang still needed to intensify military training.
In Shuoyang City, the citizens, upon hearing early this morning about the Princess of Zhen leading troops up the mountain to eliminate bandits, saw her leading new soldiers from the north of Shuoyang City and ran to spread the news, cheering along the way.
"The Princess of Zhen is back! The Princess of Zhen has returned after eliminating the bandits!"
