Welcome

The appearance and departure of He Mingchi was a great shock to Li Huiyuan. When he heard the news, his face paled even more and a fearful expression appeared in his eyes.

"How did you return so quickly?" He asked in a trembling voice.

Li Yu sat down slowly, dispassionate.

She would not have responded in the same manner should she have heard the news a few days ago. With the return of the Tang Army of Helan City, the news of tampering with the edict would have been made known. She had made many preparations for this. However, with the West-Hill Divine Palace's call for the world to punish the Tang Empire, those plans had lost their effectiveness.

The eunuch said softly, "Eunuch Chen of the Ministry of Rites in the south of Wuzhou. He should have received the news in advance and should be rushing there right this moment. He should be able to stop it."

After a long silence, Li Yu asked tiredly, "How many people are there in the Northern Army?"
