As night fell, Qianzhong Guard was brightly lit, and soldiers wearing sabers patrolled back and forth in the barracks, appearing no different from usual at first glance.
On the high watchtower, upon seeing a team galloping in the night, a soldier in armor quickly ran down, signaled to his companion at the gate, and then rushed into the guard post like a gust of wind.
After a while.
"Who goes there?" a shout rang out in the dark night. Several guards quickly gathered, their gazes wary as they looked at the uninvited guests.
"Are you blind? Don't you recognize Lord Cai!" a personal guard on horseback roared, his horsewhip lashing out fiercely.
The leading soldier didn't even have time to react before a whip struck him. Fortunately, the other party was mindful that this was Qianzhong Guard, otherwise the whip would have landed on his face instead of his shoulder.
"Open the gate and let Xu Heng come out to see me!" Lord Cai, seated on his horse, wore a blue straight robe. A glance at his gaunt face revealed his triangular eyes, which appeared cold and sinister.
As Lord Cai finished speaking, another personal guard suddenly produced a token from the Commander's Office.
"Greetings, my lord!" Upon seeing the token, the guards immediately bowed. One of them quickly ran back to report, while the others opened the gate.
A dozen or so fine horses galloped into the Qianzhong Guard camp. In the silent night, the sound of hooves made one's heart pound.
Lord Cai had just settled down in the meeting hall, lifting his robe, when hurried footsteps were heard from outside the door.
"Your subordinate was unaware of your late-night arrival, my lord. Please forgive me." Xu Heng stepped into the room and immediately began to apologize.
The accompanying Deputy Commander Cao and Deputy Commander Zhu also bowed. A higher rank held absolute authority, and moreover, throughout Qianzhong, everyone knew that Investigator Cai was unpredictable, acting with extreme cunning and ruthlessness.
"This is a secret letter I received. To avoid any further complications, Commander Xu, please proceed," Investigator Cai said, seated on the main seat with his golden saber across his horse. He handed the secret letter to Xu Heng.
His heart sank. Xu Heng braced himself and took the letter. After a quick scan, his face instantly turned grim. He then passed it to Deputy Commander Cao beside him.
The secret letter was concise and clear. According to reliable intelligence, Zhan Feiyu and his group, who had been captured, were colluding with the barbarians. Furthermore, the barbarians were already gathering their forces to attempt a rescue. Therefore, to prevent further casualties and avoid any unforeseen incidents, it was best to eliminate Zhan Feiyu and his group preemptively.
