Chapter 586: Plots and Schemes
The eight-steps dragon carriage landed before the old spirit stone shop, leaving two deep wheel marks on the ground after crushing the slab.
This was the headquarters of the Divine River Guards.
Two people rushed out from inside, one in gray and the other white. They became cautious and finally heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Feiyun coming out of the carriage. They got on one knee and greeted: “Greetings, Divine King.”
“Rise.” Feiyun entered the shop. The princess recalled the carriage and followed right after him. The gates closed afterward.

At a jade palace in the Grand Chancellor’s Mansion.
The fire of war raged outside but this mansion was still peaceful and serene as ever.
Moshou sat near a pond with a light breeze skirting nearby, causing his robe to flutter. He was painting a picture with spring as the inspiration. A smile appeared after he finished.
The calmest person in the capital right now might be him.
Two beautiful maids walked forward; one carried a basin with clean water and the other a plate with a silk cloth.
He dipped his hands in the water for a careful rinse before drying them with the cloth. He ordered people to take away the brush, ink, and painting before sitting down again: “What’s the situation?”
More than ten Divine Commanders waited outside. They rushed inside like ants on a boiling pan and quickly reported, one at a time.
