Duan Jiong then said, "Since Prefect Fu insists on returning to Jincheng, how about I send some men to protect you?"

Fu Xie nodded: "Alright! But the number of people shouldn't be too large..."

"I understand!"

Duan Jiong then summoned the guards who were standing outside the tent.

"Go and summon Yang Feng!"

"promise!"

The guards accepted the order and then quickly left.

Before long, Yang Feng hurriedly entered the tent and gave Duan Jiong a military salute.

"I wonder what orders the general has summoned me for?"

Duan Jiong looked at Yang Feng with a solemn expression and said, "Yang Feng, I order you to immediately select a dozen of the most skilled brothers to accompany Prefect Fu back to Jincheng and protect Prefect Fu's safety!"

"promise!!"

After Yang Feng left, Cheng Yu looked at Duan Jiong and said, "General Duan, in order to reassure Bei Gong Boyu and the others to start their uprising, I think your army should find a reason to leave the camp!"

Duan Jiong nodded: "Zhongde's words make sense...!"

Subsequently, Cheng Yu, Fu Xie, and Duan Jiong held a detailed discussion.

However, Duan Jiong and Cheng Yu chose to keep the matter of taking advantage of the situation to eliminate the Lesser Yuezhi from Fu Xie's sights.

Before long, the three finished their discussion, and Yang Feng, along with his fifteen personal guards, changed into the clothes of his attendants and followed Fu Xie back to Jincheng.

Back in the prefectural governor's mansion, Fu Xie was busy handling various government affairs as usual. The difference was that Fu Xie now had a dagger hidden in his sleeve.

Fu Xie did not interrogate Liu Yan. After all, Liu Yan was a member of the imperial family, and an imperial decree was required for any interrogation.

Upon learning that there was no unusual activity within the prefectural governor's residence, Bei Gong Boyu and the others breathed a sigh of relief and quickly began making various arrangements.

Although they knew it would happen sooner or later, each day they delayed meant one more day of preparation time.
