“Prince Yu of Nanjing went to the northern border half a month ago.”
"Now that Longmen City is leaderless and Lord Xie is not here, the morale of the army is unstable. If Yudan Kingdom joins forces with other countries to attack Longmen City, then Longmen City is in grave danger."
"If Longmen City falls, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Nan Qianyue frowned and said, "Qin Yi said he would rush to Longmen City tomorrow. With 100,000 Black Riders there, Longmen City will definitely not fall. However, rescuing Lord Xie will not be easy."
Nan Xiang shook his head, giving Nan Qianyue a complicated look. "Is this what he told you?"

"That old scoundrel has 100,000 troops under his command, and he's been making moves lately. According to our informants, he's already secretly mobilizing these troops."
"His Majesty is seriously ill and has not yet appointed a crown prince. Longmen City is also facing danger. This is a time of turmoil in the court. Those who intend to rebel will surely cause trouble. If the capital does not have an absolute military force to protect it, it will surely fall into the hands of traitors."
"Alas, that's why the prince left the Black Riders behind."
Nan Qianyue grew increasingly flustered as she listened, "I...I'll go back to the palace first."
