Upon receiving the message from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, Yunzhong County's Governor dispatched Guo Yi to track down Young Master Min. Meanwhile, he himself led the remaining Black Cloud Knights and foot soldiers to hold at bay the Da Li soldiers.
But suddenly, he awoke one night to find that the Da Li cavalry which had been stationed a hundred miles outside of Yunzhong City had quietly withdrawn.
He instantly realized a drastic development must have occurred, most likely the discovery of Young Master Min's whereabouts. Otherwise, the Da Li cavalry would absolutely not retreat so easily.
Upon coming to this conclusion, he ordered his men to defend the city while he personally led the Black Cloud Knights out of the city for a pursuit.
After all, ordinary foot soldiers moved slowly, while the Black Cloud Knights moved like the wind. Even in the case of unforeseen circumstances, they could retreat quickly.
