Chapter 399 - 401 Exterminate the Mountain Bandits
"Shao He, Shao He."
Jhiang Yijia lifted her skirt and ran in with an anxious expression on her face.
"What happened to make you so flustered?" Shao He casually handed her a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.
Jhiang Yijia picked up the tea cup, drank it down in one gulp, and finally caught her breath, saying, "I heard that the Fifth Prince has won a great victory. Not only was Changzhou defended, but he also recaptured a city, and even the bandits that have been plaguing The Emperor for years have been annihilated by the Fifth Prince. They even broke through that ’what’s its name’ barrier."
"Mist Barrier." Shao He corrected her.
"That’s right, the Mist Barrier."
Jhiang Yijia had been too bored lately, always dragging Fang Jue to tell her about the events happening in various places. Fang Jue’s news was very well-informed, and he always had fresh stories to share.
"The Fifth Prince has certainly made a merit this time; The Emperor will definitely promote him and increase his titles."
The bandits were located on Broken Heart Cliff, named so because of its perilous terrain and the surrounding forests.
The Mist Barrier is hard to break through; who knows how many soldiers have died there. Broken Heart Cliff is easy to defend but hard to attack, surrounded by all sorts of traps—a single misstep could prove fatal.
He had heard all these from Ah Mo, who also always brought news about Pei Huaian without the slightest attempt at concealment.
