Nangong Zheng led the way, but Yuan Zhao, along with his army of eight hundred thousand soldiers who were closely following them, failed to catch up with Su Rong's troops before they entered Heiya Pass.
However, Yuan Zhao was not surprised by this. If Su Rong could be so easily chased down, she wouldn't be worthy of her status as a Nanchu Princess, let alone the various formidable rumors about her.
Nangong Zheng wore a concerned look on his face, "Your Highness, shall we hastily attack the city while their defenses in Heiya Pass may be rushed and faulty, or should we rest and then formulate a strategic plan for siege?"
Looking at the shrouded city wall, barely discerning a few silhouettes, Yuan Zhao asked: "Who are those people standing on the wall? Is the Princess among them?"
Nangong Zheng couldn't see clearly either. He asked for a spyglass, peered through, handed it to Yuan Zhao, "I don't recognize them. They must be the princess's subordinates."
