Nangong Yin was almost driven to laughter in his fury.
His laughter tinged with rage, he asked, "So you mean to say, Ye Yu has become a deserter? And the King has fled with him?"
His subordinate replied, "We're not certain if the King left with him, but we can confirm that the entire Ye Xiang family has left their army camp, which held a hundred thousand soldiers."
Nangong Yin immediately ordered, "Dispatch a messenger to Hen Zhong. Tell him to gather the hundred thousand Jinglu troops and pursue Ye Guixue's army. Kill them all. The Duke wants the lives of everyone in the Ye family."
"Yes."
"Bring me the ink stone," Nangong Yin commanded again.
Immediately, someone prepared his writing brushes and ink.
Nangong Yin immediately composed a letter to Han Yin, the commander appointed by Crown Prince Yuan Zhao, requesting him to lead the fifty thousand troops loaned by the Crown Prince to him, and pursue Ye Guixue. Once they catch up, they should kill everyone from the Ye family.
