The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"Gentlemen, the matter of issuing the order to Zheng Min, the Governor of Yizhou, shall be carried out by you."

"Jiang Wan'er has important matters to attend to, so she will take her leave now."

Jiang Wan'er cupped her hands in greeting to Zhao Duo and the others, whose expressions were complicated, and said.

Jiang Wan'er didn't know what these people were really thinking. Whether they were happy to see Murong Zhi rebel, or even secretly encouraged him to do so.

At least on the surface, these people all seemed to be worried and concerned about the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Alright, Lord Jiang, rest assured, this matter can be left to us."

Zhao Duo nodded slightly and said to Jiang Wan'er.

Zheng Yun and the others nodded to Jiang Wan'er.

They naturally knew that Jiang Wan'er, as a close advisor to Empress Murong Si, must be extremely busy at this time.

"it is good."

Jiang Wan'er cupped her hands in greeting to Zhao Duo and the others, then turned and left.

After leaving Wenyuan Pavilion, Jiang Wan'er led a group of Imperial Guards on their dragon-blooded horses, whose speed was no less than that of a Nascent Soul True Person, and headed straight for the outside of the palace.

After leaving the palace, one of the imperial guards stayed behind to post the imperial edict and announce it to the world.

Jiang Wan'er then led the remaining Imperial Guards straight towards the capital's main camp.

After a while.

Jiang Wan'er led a group of Imperial Guards to the outside of the capital's main camp.

"Greetings, Lord Jiang."

Upon seeing Jiang Wan'er arrive with the Imperial Guards, the captain of the Beijing Garrison responsible for guarding the gate of the Beijing Garrison hurriedly saluted.

"No need to be polite."

"Report to General Zhao that His Majesty has issued an imperial edict!"

Jiang Wan'er waved her hand and said with a serious expression.

Although Jiang Wan'er was the female official in charge of the Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she was one of Empress Murong Si's right-hand women.

However, this was a heavily guarded area of ​​the capital's garrison, so Jiang Wan'er naturally dared not rely on having an imperial edict to force her way into the garrison's territory.

"Yes, please wait a moment, Lord Jiang, while I report to Lord Jiang."

The captain of the Beijing garrison narrowed his eyes and became solemn. He bowed to Jiang Wan'er, used his lightness skill to enter the Beijing garrison, and personally reported on her behalf.

Not long after.

The captain of the Beijing Garrison arrived outside the garrison's command tent and bowed respectfully, saying, "Reporting to the General, His Majesty has sent an imperial edict. Lord Jiang is waiting outside the gate."

"Very well, I understand."

The voice of Zhao Wuyang, the Grand General of the Capital Garrison, rang out in the command tent, but then seemed to disappear into the tent itself.

In a moment.

Zhao Wuyang appeared out of thin air outside the gate and bowed to Jiang Wan'er, saying, "This humble general, Zhao Wuyang, receives the imperial decree!"

His bow was not directed at Jiang Wan'er.

Instead, he bowed to Empress Murong Si of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"General Zhao, time is of the essence, so I will not read the decree. General Zhao, please read it yourself."

Jiang Wan'er took out a scroll of imperial edict from her sleeve, handed it to Zhao Wuyang, and said.

"it is good."

Zhao Wuyang had already guessed that it must be related to Prince Murong Zhi of Zhao. He solemnly accepted the imperial edict and began to read it.

Soon, a murderous glint flashed in Zhao Wuyang's eyes, and he said in a powerful voice, "Someone, inform Xie Xuan to come to the gate to see this general."

"Yes!"

The captain of the Beijing garrison, who had just come out, responded and returned to the garrison once again.

Less than a moment.

Swish!

Xie Xuan, the deputy commander of the Beijing garrison, appeared outside the gate and bowed to Zhao Wuyang and Jiang Wan'er, saying, "Greetings, General. Greetings, Lord Jiang."

"No gift."

"Xie Xuan, His Majesty has decreed that you select 100,000 elite troops from our capital garrison and send them to Yizhou!"

"Responsible for annihilating the traitor Murong Zhi!"

"If Zheng Min, the governor of Yizhou, has already wiped out Murong Zhi, then you should lead your troops back."

"If Zheng Min, the governor of Yizhou, has not yet eliminated Murong Zhi, then you will take over the task of eliminating Murong Zhi."

Zhao Wuyang handed the imperial edict to Xie Xuan and said, "Take whichever of my generals in the capital garrison you fancy!"

Anyone who disobeys will be punished according to military orders!

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys!"

Xie Xuan's eyes became incredibly firm as he accepted the imperial edict and shouted with resounding conviction.

He didn't even bother to look at the imperial edict, since he already knew its contents.

Zhao Wuyang waved to Xie Xuan, remaining silent.

Xie Xuan bowed and then disappeared from the spot. He had already gone to summon the generals of the capital garrison to arrange matters for the expedition.

Boom!Boom!thump...

The commander's drum of the Beijing garrison was sounded.

This caused a tremor throughout the entire Beijing garrison.

The moment the commander's drum was sounded, the generals of the Beijing garrison all rushed towards the commander's tent.

"General Zhao, I must return to the palace to report to His Majesty, so I will not linger here any longer."

Jiang Wan'er cupped her hands in greeting to Zhao Wuyang and said.

"Alright, Lord Jiang, take care."

Zhao Wuyang nodded slightly and said.

Jiang Wan'er immediately mounted her horse and led the imperial guards away at full gallop.

Like a gust of wind, it vanished without a trace in an instant.

After all, the warhorses they rode were not ordinary warhorses at all, but dragon-blooded horses.

These were warhorses that only the Imperial Guards and the soldiers of the Beijing Garrison could be equipped with.

Even among the border troops, there are only a small number of Dragonblood Horses.

Each Dragonblood Horse is like a True Person at the Nascent Soul Realm.

Although it cannot compare to a true Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, its speed has already reached this level.

After watching Jiang Wan'er and the others leave, Zhao Wuyang disappeared outside the gate.

The headquarters of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Chu Xiu sat upright in the main seat of the hall.

The seven men—Li Jingtian, the Vice Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard; Nie Kuangren, the Commander of the Northern Garrison; Ximen Jue, the Commander of the Southern Garrison; Fang Heng, the Grand Commander of the Jingtian Guard; Pei Shiji, the Grand Commander of the Jingxian Guard; Luo Tianxi, the Grand Commander of the Jingshen Guard; and Lin Huaiyu, who was in charge of intelligence affairs for the Embroidered Uniform Guard—gathered in the hall.

These seven men could be said to be second only to Chu Xiu in status and position within the entire Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Chu Xiu remained calm, his gaze fixed on Fang Heng.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, after we led our men out of the Zhao Prince's mansion through the underground passage, we found that we had indeed arrived outside the capital."

"And it is clear from the traces outside the tunnel."

"Murong Zhi has been gone from the capital for about two hours."

"If I'm not mistaken, Murong Zhi is very likely no longer in the capital region, and may even have left the entire Sili Prefecture and entered the territory of Yi Prefecture!"

Fang Heng understood immediately, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chu Xiu, and said with a solemn expression.

"Li Jingtian, how's the matter with the Seven Killings Organization going?"

Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow, looked at Li Jingtian, and said in a deep voice.

"Reporting to my lord, everything regarding the Seven Killings Organization has been arranged."

"I have already handed over the list of Zhang Yue's remnants from the Seven Killings Organization to Xiong Tiandu and the others."

"It won't be long before Zhang Yue's remnants are completely wiped out!"

"And our people will take over the entire Seven Kills organization."

"In addition, the intelligence network of the Seven Killings Organization has also been gradually taken over by our Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"It won't be long before we get our hands on the complete intelligence network of the Seven Killers organization."

Without hesitation, Li Jingtian replied, "Your subordinate requests that you give the order, sir, to lead our elite Imperial Guards into Yizhou to gather intelligence for us!"

Fang Heng and the others also turned their gazes to Chu Xiu, revealing eager expressions.
