The morning of March 31, 1229 of the Ziyun Era.
Swoosh!!
A huge creature flew through the air above the Chu royal mansion, swift as thunder, and before long arrived at Chuxiu Inn, circling in the air and surveying the courtyards and guest rooms below.
"Commander Xiao has arrived."
The commander of the city guard stationed outside Chuxiu Inn, Xue Meng, saw the large Cloud Condor high above Chuxiu Inn flying into Chuxiu Inn, and his eyes lit up.
"We'll enter."
The Chu king, Xiang Xiong, was standing beside Xue Meng and saw the Cloud Condor fly into Chuxiu Inn at the same time as Xue Meng. He gave the order and led the way into Chuxiu Inn.
Two old men followed closely behind Xiang Xiong.
One of the old men was the second elder of the Chu royal family, Xiang Donghua, who had personally made the trip to the imperial court of Yunyang to invite Commander Xiao Jiancheng of the imperial guard over.
