Shang Dongyang turned around in a daze and saw Shang Xiye, Wuying, and Wuhen walking slowly from the direction of Kyoto. If he wasn't seeing things, the three of them seemed to have just descended from the sky... No, he must be seeing things!
Shang Xiye didn't even glance at Shang Dongyang, and issued a command in a deep voice: "You all return to camp immediately, and set off for Cangzhou in half an hour!"
"Yes!" Shang Xiye's soldiers answered in unison again, and immediately turned around and left in an orderly manner.
"Hey, stop right there! Don't leave!" Shang Dongyang shouted anxiously, brandishing Shang Xiye's personal seal. "The transfer order is in my hands. Who gave you permission to leave!"
The soldiers under Shang Xiye's command marched away in unison, their steps echoing.
No one paid any attention to Shang Dongyang's screams.
Shang Dongyang felt like a clown trying his best to get a reward, but was completely ignored by these lowly soldiers.
"How dare you, Ninth Prince..."
Unable to control tens of thousands of soldiers, Shang Dongyang had no choice but to turn his attention to Shang Xiye. After all, the orders were now in his hands, so he wasn't afraid!
But before he could utter his question, the transfer order in his hand automatically slipped from his grasp and flew swiftly toward Shang Xiye.
Shang Xiye lightly raised his right hand and grasped it, and the transfer order returned to his hand.
Shang Dongyang: "?!!"
Was he seeing a ghost, or was he dreaming?
Is this transfer order some kind of supernatural power?
It can even grow wings and fly to the Ninth Prince's hands?!
"You, you quickly return my transfer order! That was something the Emperor bestowed upon me, the Crown Prince!" Shang Dongyang said, waving his hand and jumping up and down in his haste.
Its weakness was so pronounced that it was unbearable to look at.
Just as Shang Xiye was turning to leave, she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and said coldly, "If you're tired of living, you can hang yourself."
Having said that, he turned and rode away with the army.
Wuying took two steps, then turned back, rummaged through his storage ring, pulled out a roll of clean bandage, and tossed it at Shang Dongyang's feet. He grinned so wide his eyes disappeared, and said in an extremely irritating voice, "Helping others is the source of happiness, Your Highness, you don't need to thank me too much!"
Shang Dongyang looked at the bandages at his feet: "..."
Shente Miao's joy in helping others is the source of his happiness!
This temple thanks your ancestors for eight generations!
"You dog, how dare you, a mere guard, humiliate me like this?" Shang Dongyang belatedly realized his anger rising and wanted to teach Wuying a lesson.
He looked up:
All that remained before us was the tail of a long line and a vast, desolate forest.
Wuying, Wuhen, and Shang Xiye had long since disappeared.
Shang Dongyang: "!!!"
Are these all flying with wings?
But in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.
Shang Xiye's men left.
In the mountains and fields, only a small, scattered, and disorganized group of Chen's family remained, looking like a disorganized army.
After the Chen family fell from power, soldiers with family connections and financial resources were either transferred or left.
The rest were men with no family background or power, who needed military pay to support their families and were only trying to make a living; they had no intention of training for war.
Wang Jian looked at these people with a worried expression.
He asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, what do we do now?"
"What else can we do? Do you think I can just snatch the transfer order from the Ninth Prince?" Shang Dongyang was furious, his teeth itching with hatred. "Of course we should go back to the palace and quickly tell the Emperor this news so that he can deal with the Ninth Prince!"
"Those soldiers from the Chen family..."
"Go back to where you came from, you bunch of good-for-nothings," Shang Dongyang glanced at the Chen family soldiers with utter disdain, mounted his horse, and rode away.
