After walking for about fifteen minutes, the outline of the capital of Southern Chu could be seen in the distance. A procession approached from the front, and Chu Mingyao was riding at the very front.
As soon as Chu Mingyao saw Su Wan, she spurred her horse over, waving and calling out, "Sister."
Su Wan flicked the reins of Xuehua, and Xuehua galloped towards Chu Mingyao. The two stopped at the same time, and Su Wan said, "Sister Chu, we were just about to look for you. I didn't expect you to come here."
Chu Mingyao asked, "Sister, I asked His Highness about this matter. What was his response? Did he agree that the army would not enter the capital of Southern Chu?"
Knowing that Chu Mingyao was concerned about this, Su Wan quickly said, "Don't worry, Sister Chu. A Jin left the army where it was and said that he would sign a peace treaty with the Southern Chu Kingdom. Then we will withdraw our troops and return to the capital."

A white line slowly moves across the horizon. Trees touched by the white line are uprooted, and houses collapse instantly, as if a thousand troops are on the white line, destroying everything in its path.
Wei Jingzhuo pointed to a small hill with a gentle slope next to him and shouted, "Everyone, run to higher ground!"
