Countdown Start

When the sky was turning dark, there were several people coming from the gate. The sound horseshoe hitting the ground entered Yang Xian's ear.

"Your Highness!"

Yang Xian's body tensed up as he tried to lower his presence even more. When facing someone who had higher martial arts, he had to be extra careful because he didn't want to get found.

"How's the preparation?"

"It's all complete, Your Highness. We're ready to depart tomorrow."

"Good."

Prince Lian's voice was low and his reply was only a short one word answer. From his tone, it was clear that he was satisfied with the result.

"Where's my imperial older brother?"

"Replying to Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince left this morning with Crown Princess Ji Xiaoli."

"He's with that princess again? My imperial brother had turned soft," Prince Lian said with a laugh. "How about his people?"

"They're staying still at the back."
