The day Su Rong's caravan set off from Daliang's Capital City, a few dozen carts full of goods from the Eastern Palace, accompanied by ten thousand soldiers sent by the Crown Prince, joined the convoy.
The head of the escort was stupefied and asked the commanding officer, "Sir, what is all this...?"
"These are gifts from His Highness the Crown Prince to the Nanchu Princess." The officer explained.
The official was shocked. "This... this is too much."
The officer nodded. "Hence, His Highness has ordered me to provide an escort of ten thousand soldiers."
The official was speechless, guessing that the Crown Prince was planning to empty his Eastern Palace's warehouse as a gift to the Nanchu ruler. Impossible!
