96 The Sky Turned Dark

Once everything was ready, Princess Lingchen allowed her maidservant, Ah Zhen to put a thick coat around her body before the Princess climbed up her horse. Vice General Fei Liu led the group in front along with a few other guards. Mingyue chose to ride beside her with Yang Yun staying closer to them. Because of his injury, Prince Lu Wei had to ride a carriage with guards surrounded him.

The group departed early in the morning as they wanted to arrive in the capital city before the sky turned darker. They traveled for hours until they decided to catch a quick break near a stream.

The guards scattered to patrol around the area. A few from the Elite Squad stayed around both Princess Lingchen and Prince Lu Wei, while Yang Yun scanned around his surroundings. Once he was sure that the area was safe, Yang Yun walked towards Prince Lu Wei and helped him to exit the carriage and let him rest under a shady tree.
