Before Eunuch Xiao could finish, a sudden burst of applause could be heard from the side.
"Indeed very wise! I almost made a trip here in vain, how could it not be wise? Eighth Imperial Brother, I didn't expect that you would really come! I have missed you terribly since our separation a few days ago, so I have been waiting here to meet with you. You won't disappoint me, will you?"

And the man leading them was none other than Zhao Jiong.
He was dressed in a mysterious robe, standing on a small hill not far from him, looking at him coldly with arms crossed.
"Quickly! Protect His Majesty!"
With a low growl, the group of Imperial Guards hurriedly guarded Zhao Yuanlang in the center, leaving no gaps, facing the enemy as if they were facing a formidable foe.
