Chapter 39: Interception (First Update)_1

The Military Armament Department had indeed developed a new weapon, but not last night, rather three days ago, it's just that Xiao Zhen had someone conceal the news. Yesterday, upon receiving the letter from Ling Hua that Qiyun Mountain had sent to him, he immediately put it to use and left the Imperial City with his men.

Traveling from Youzhou City toward the Capital, halfway through the journey, a heavy snow began to fall. The urgent missives from the Wen Family, sent by riders spurring their horses to maximum speed, were delayed by half a day due to the weather.

Delayed by just this half-day, the Feiying released by Ling Hua, which were specially trained to be unaffected by the wind and snow, caught up. Furthermore, they reached Qiyun Mountain even before the Wen Family's dispatch.
