The clear skies helped us as we made our way towards Ping He Fu.
I never thought the sky could be admired, but I couldn't help but look up every few moments.
It was a marvel to see the blue skies and white clouds so vast and endless. It served to remind me that the Palace was already far behind.
We marched onwards, amidst the gazes and cheers from the common people living in the Capital.
According to the team of men we had sent to Wu You Prefecture, where the Tong Zhen army was expected to invade, it would be about three days before they arrived to Jin Tang's prefecture walls.
We were to meet Emperor Lang in Chang Jie in two days, exactly where he had sent Chang Guo Qiang to more than a year ago.
Yi Fu had volunteered to be part of the embassy to meet them, and Zheng was more than happy to agree. Feng Mian had followed along, according to what Yi Mu had informed me via letter.
