That year, the four foreign enemies were all busy fighting each other at home.
In the Southern Barbarian lands, the princes fought tooth and nail for the crown prince's position, and the Ghost Guards quickly infiltrated every aspect of the society.
With the secret encouragement and help of Xiao Zhixing, Xiahou Gong of the Southern Barbarian tribe is brewing a campaign to purge the court of corrupt officials and is determined to take down Xiahou Zhenglin.
Last winter, countless cattle and sheep in the Northern Barbarian lands froze to death. Coupled with the harassment from the Snow Tribe further north, Xiao Kui, who was already in poor health, almost died and barely survived.
With several princes involved in politics, they engaged in infighting, and the situation entered a heated phase.
During this time, Xiao Xuan had to "return" to the Northern Barbarians, and Consort Ai forcibly sent people to take him away.

Naturally, no one was "found".

When they returned to Beizhou, it was already mid-autumn.
Ghost Guard, Yin Yi's secret service, Xiao Dong, and others all sent messages.
With the northern barbarians making unusual movements, it seems that Xiao Kui is gathering his troops again.
Meanwhile, 200,000 troops were deployed in the northern border region, heading straight for Xining Pass.
"Your Highness, Xiao Kui and Yelü Ge have joined forces and are coming on strong."
The event caused a great uproar, and all eyes in the world turned to the north.
