But these words had a different meaning to Qing Yuzi.
Are all the Qi army leaders present? Will the Yan army's Grandmaster seize this opportunity to make a move?
Qing Yuzi wasn't too worried about He Yunxiao's safety; with Chu Xiaoxiao protecting him, he was unlikely to encounter any major problems. However, Qing Yuzi was aware of Chu Xiaoxiao's weaknesses.
For some reason, that woman rarely made a move in front of others, especially not in front of Chu Fan.
Qingyuzi weighed the pros and cons for a moment.
Putting He Yunxiao aside for now, this Qi army gathering presents a rare opportunity to stake out the Grandmaster of Yan. Even if they don't capture him this time, just getting a glimpse of who the Grandmaster is will make finding him much easier later. What if the Grandmaster intervenes and causes many unnecessary casualties?
Qingyuzi thought and thought, coming up with a whole bunch of reasons to go, but no matter what the reason was, it had nothing to do with He Yunxiao.
"Where is the Qi Army Assembly?" Qingyuzi asked.
A group of soldiers glared at each other, and one of them said, "Reporting to the Taoist priest, we have heard that Qingmu City is a hundred miles to the west of here."
Qingyuzi didn't say much. He went to the stable, asked for a good horse, and silently headed west.

He Yunxiao and his group set off at noon. There weren't many people going; they were all high-ranking military officers and skilled fighters. The guards they brought were all his trusted short-sword soldiers.
The Short Swords Army now numbers five hundred men.
Due to the strict vetting process, Pang Jian remains the only one among those ranked ninth or higher. However, the core force below ninth rank, namely eighth and seventh rank martial artists, has seen explosive growth. The number of eighth-rank martial artists has increased from three to over twenty, while the number of seventh-rank martial artists has increased from over thirty to one hundred and seventy or eighty.
A seventh-rank martial artist could rise to the rank of centurion in an ordinary army, but in the Short Sword Army, he was just an ordinary soldier.
He Yunxiao led the female protagonists, along with several high-ranking officers from the New Chu Army and the Short Sword Army, plus a hundred Short Sword Army soldiers, all on horseback. They departed from the Yan Yang City military camp at noon and did not arrive at Qing Mu City until eight or nine o'clock at night.
