Sunlight filtered through the treetops, casting dappled shadows on the ground, but these shadows were now being shattered by a group of heavily armored cavalrymen.
They surged out of the woods like a torrent of steel, instantly surrounding Chen Zhennan and Song Yunming.
Chen Zhennan looked around and saw that the armor worn by these cavalrymen all bore the insignia of the Great Wu. Without a doubt, these were Song Xuan's direct troops from Tianyang Pass.
Two hundred cavalrymen appeared within the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty. What is Song Xuan up to? Does he want to provoke a conflict?
Just as tensions were rising, a familiar figure slowly emerged from the crowd—it was none other than Song Xuan himself.

Song Xuan nodded, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes: "Very good, Chen Zhennan, I'm waiting for your good news. Let's pretend today's events never happened."
After saying this, Song Xuan ordered the cavalry to make way, and Chen Zhennan and Song Yunming took the opportunity to ride away.
"Chen Zhennan, I'm afraid you'll end up doing all the work for me, hehe..."
