Commandery Prince Kang's Residence.
At dusk, the sky was painted with a brilliant sunset. The entire mansion was bathed in the orange-red glow of the setting sun, as if it had been coated with a warm, rosy light, adding a touch of splendor and magnificence.
Such a scene was undoubtedly beautiful.
On a normal day, Commandery Prince Kang might have stopped to admire it for a while, but today, he had no such interest and ordered the carriage to drive straight into the residence.
His mood was extremely foul at the moment.
After the grand court meeting, he should have returned to the Commandery Prince's household immediately to handle tax-related matters.
Unexpectedly, he was entangled by the people from the Engineering Office, who insisted on dragging him to inquire about the specific plans for the expedition against the Southern Barbarian Gu Clan, questioning the engineering equipment, construction materials, and other details needed for the campaign, as if it would never end. It was only after he lost his temper that he managed to extricate himself.
Although the Southern Barbarian Gu Clan's numbers were not as large as before, they still occupied vast lands south of Tianfu. Even if the plans were finalized, it would take months to prepare provisions, determine the list of personnel to accompany the army, mobilize troops, and prepare for departure. Why the rush?
