The journey would have taken more than half a month, but he traveled day and night and arrived in just six days.
It took another day to gather troops from Wenzhou Prefecture and several other nearby prefectures and rush to Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan nodded, "We still need someone who can lead the troops in battle in the city."
"Your Majesty also asked me to bring Li He and others."
Qi Yuan was relieved. Li He was not as good as Wei Fuchi and others, but his ability was enough to quell the rebellion in Licheng.
"Set off back to Beijing immediately." Qi Yuan said.
Not being able to see him return to the capital safely, my father and mother must have been worried day and night.
"For those guards who died for the king, you must arrange for someone to keep a record. When we return to the capital, treat their families well."
Qi Yuan warned.
He has witnessed too much death on the battlefield in recent years.
At first he was heartbroken by every death, but it was too much, and now he can control his emotions.
The only things that concern him are the very few relatives and friends whom he cares about.
"We must bury them properly and comfort their families."
Instead of feeling sad, it is better to do something practical.

The carriage had only been traveling for a few hours when Qi Yuan began to ask her.
Xu Lingyi nodded silently: "Your Highness, I am fine."

But Xu Lingyi also wanted to return to the capital as soon as possible.
His Majesty's health was already deteriorating, and now from Gu Qingfeng's description, it seems to be even worse.
If one day His Majesty passes away and Qi Yuan is not in the capital... it will be disadvantageous for them.
Besides, there are imperial physicians in the capital, so they can rest better after traveling for a while and returning to the capital.
