He stood on his horse and slowly approached the city gate of the Pacification Commissioner's Office amid the shouts of the soldiers.
After traveling for four or five days, Fu Mingchi was already exhausted. He half-closed his narrow dark eyes and looked at the dazzling red figure on the city wall. His tired body suddenly became much more refreshed.
Zhu Wencai tightened the reins of his horse and followed cautiously beside him. Looking at the blood-stained clothes on the prince's chest, his eyes were filled with sourness.
"Your Highness."
After traveling for another day and night with the arrow wound, he was really worried that His Highness would suddenly collapse.

"That's nonsense." Gu Tingchen frowned. "Yuzhou is still three hundred miles away from the coastal defense area. There are heavy troops guarding the entire route. Where did these pirates come from?"
