After saying that, Chu Yi rode his horse out of the city.
He knew that his elder brother had finally made a decision.
I don’t know what my brother went through that made him make such a quick decision, but it doesn’t matter.
He knew that the era belonging to the Chu family was truly coming.

Soon, Chu Yan led the Beijing Camp to take over the position of the Five Cities Military Headquarters and directly blocked all the streets in Taining City.
