Xue Xian has arrived!
This news was swiftly spread by the biting wind throughout Fufeng County. The populace, already as nervous as startled birds, instantly shut their doors and windows, not daring to leave even a sliver open.
The soldiers dispatched to the city gates all had ashen faces, anxiety and panic visible on each of them.
By the time they reached the gate, the atmosphere there had grown stifling to the point of suffocation.
Yu Wenye glanced at them but said nothing, taking several strides up the wall to look down. Sure enough, the wide open space before the city gates was filled with soldiers who had just crossed the river, now lined up in neat formation. Flags fluttered, warhorses neighed, a formidable aura reverberated through the landscape, and even from the city walls, they could feel the ground trembling.
Yu Wenye's brow immediately furrowed.
As he looked down, a rider emerged slowly from the ranks and lifted his head towards the wall.
