Thirty miles outside the Imperial City.
Di Yelei and others led their weary soldiers to rest at a hostel.
According to the normal marching speed, the army should arrive at the capital in ten days, but Di Yelei was eager to return. He ordered the deputy general to lead the army to the capital, while he took a few hundred confidants and hurried along. Finally, they arrived here at dusk today.
He originally intended to enter the capital overnight, but there was a rule that "the army must not enter the city without the Emperor's decree." So he had to forcibly suppress his anxiety and stay at the hostel.
Perhaps because he had something weighing on his mind, Di Yelei couldn't sleep at all. Unable to bear it anymore, he left his room and looked up at the sky.
"General! General, there's news from the capital."
A figure rushed in from outside, coming directly to Di Yelei.
Di Yelei turned around and saw Zhang Peng entering the courtyard.
