Zhao Muyun nodded and said, "Tell the brothers, thank you for your hard work. Intelligence is crucial to the success of this battle."
"I understand!"
......
at the same time!
Outside Jinyang City, a team of about 500 people was gathering.
Crown Prince Yinji was dressed in military uniform, riding on a horse with a solemn expression. His eyes showed both worry for his father and a subtle determination.
Beside him were three generals, Zhang Huan, Wang Ben and Li Mao, who were also wearing armor.
Zhang Huan was nearly fifty years old, with a resolute face. He was a veteran from the Jin Wang era and was loyal to the Yin family.
However, he was afraid of fighting when he was guarding Xinzhou and almost lost the city, so he was replaced by Xiao Lie.
Wang Ben was slightly younger and had a hot temper. He had long been dissatisfied with Xiao Lie's autocracy.
Li Maoze was relatively calm, commanded a group of cavalry, and had a neutral attitude. He felt a little complicated when he was named by Yinji this time.
Xiao Lie personally came to the outside of the city to see him off, his face full of "concern" and "worry".
"Your Highness, Generals, we are going to Hebei. The mountains are high and the roads are long, and bandits are rampant. Please take care!"
Xiao Lie pulled Yin Ji's horse reins and said earnestly, "After picking up His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, you must return as soon as possible. Jinyang cannot do without His Royal Highness!"
Yinji sneered inwardly, but his face was filled with sorrow and determination. "Thank you, General Xiao, for your concern! I'll be back immediately after fetching my father! Jinyang... I'll leave it to you for now!"
Zhang Huan snorted coldly, clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, General Xiao. I'm here to protect the Crown Prince and His Highness the Prince of Jin!"
There was something else in his words, and his eyes swept over Xiao Lie sharply.
Wang Ben was even more direct, saying in a deep voice, "Who dares to provoke me? This is a good opportunity for me to stretch my muscles!"
Li Maoze just bowed lightly without saying much.
Xiao Lie seemed oblivious to their hostility, his face still beaming. "Thank you, Generals! I have already ordered supplies along the way and arranged for support at the border. I wish Your Highness and the generals a speedy return!"
The team finally set off, raising a cloud of dust.
Looking at the convoy gradually moving away, the smile on Xiao Lie's face instantly disappeared, turning into a cold expression.
"Send a message to Mr. Fan Wenjing. The prey has been released. Now it's up to them."
He whispered instructions to the soldier beside him, with a cruel sneer on his face.
