"In the end, there's no escape from death, is there?"
"How cruel, so very cruel!"
"..."
"Enough talk!"
Zhu Qi immediately set out, escorting them as they departed.
...
The fourteenth day!
On this day,
the Qing Country's grand army pressed towards Green Ridge Mountain.
Just another three to five days' march, and they would enter the territory of Lai State!
Outside Yong Yue Prefecture.
Meng Quji had already made preparations to retreat.
Outside Zhao Tong Prefecture, in the camp of the Dasheng Army, Sha Wenlong and the others were mixed with worry and secret joy.
The worry was that they were anxious about the direction of the situation to come.
The secret joy was because someone had issued a military order!
Ten days before.
After Chen Sansi failed to persuade Zhao Tong Prefecture to surrender, he led his men further south.
It was only recently that they had returned.
As a result...
According to reliable intelligence, they hadn't taken a single city!
