Colluding with Outsiders

"Prince and Dingyuan Marquis have been at odds since young. They hated the Marquis for suppressing them at every turn. Back then, Master Hou had almost lost his life in a battle of Yancheng, so who among the people in the Yongding City didn't feel regretful or heartbroken?
