Qingzhou Secret Intelligence Bureau.
As soon as news arrived from Yongzhou, Wang Xuan rushed to the Prince’s Manor.
While Prince Qi had been busy reforming Qingzhou these past couple of months, the situation in Yongzhou had taken a dramatic turn for the worse. The number of people rallying under the so-called “Azure Dragon King” had grown rapidly, and Prince Yong’s forces were losing ground fast.
But that wasn’t the biggest concern.
Worse yet, the Mongol general Chagatai had led sixty thousand cavalry southward in two separate units, seemingly seizing the opportunity to strike. They were now acting as the vanguard of the nomadic invasion targeting Jizhou.
“What? Chagatai is already heading south?” Xiao Ming’s expression turned grim upon hearing the news.
Wang Xuan nodded. “There’s no doubt about it.”
“Yong Wang, you damn fool!” Xiao Ming slammed the table. Plans always lagged behind changes—especially when you had a pig-headed ally who wrecked everything.
He’d sensed this might happen the moment the rebellion broke out in Yongzhou, but this was still far too soon.
And the letter he had sent earlier to warn Prince Yong? No reply. It had probably been tossed aside.
