The soldier guarding the gate, taken aback by his assertive manner, hesitated for a moment before calling for Song Zhishu.
Song Zhishu, being the grandson of Song Heqing, was young, energetic, and incredibly capable. He had been appointed to work alongside Zhao Huai, effectively serving in a role equivalent to that of a registrar.
In modern terms, he was similar to a secretary. However, being the secretary for the Crown Prince carried a lot of weight – many desired for this position but few were granted the opportunity.
Song Zhishu arrived at the city gate, facing the middle-aged man, he expressed in an emotionless voice: "I serve the Crown Prince. What news do you carry?"
The Crown Prince had always maintained that order came first. For someone like this, it would be a surprise if Song Zhishu showed any sign of goodwill.
