On the night of the ninth day of the first lunar month, Xia Tingfeng, an Imperial Bodyguard, led one hundred soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army from the Capital City, rushing toward Yanguan City. According to intelligence reports from General Xiao, Fan Changsheng had been kidnapped on his way back to the Capital City from Yanguan City.
Xia Tingfeng, holding a map, charged ahead at the forefront on his horse. In the dark of night, his armor shone with a grim silver light, the red tassel on his helmet flying wildly in the night breeze. Beneath his dense eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes glinted sharply, like those of an eagle, seemingly able to penetrate everything in the dark.
After a nocturnal journey of several hundred miles, the troop arrived at the site of the kidnapping two days and nights later, joining forces with the Cavalry from Primus Camp sent by General Xiao.
