Just as the entire Beijing celebrated the splendid victory in the North with drums and joy thundering, Prince Yi, Yu Jianshen, far in Xi'an City, also received news from the North.
By that time, The Court's army had gradually advanced toward the city of Xi'an from the north and east.
The secret spies that Prince Yi Yu Jianshen commanded were already few, with his intelligence network torn and barely intact.
Nevertheless, Jin's northern expedition involved the hearts of people across the realm, and Yu Jianshen was keenly focused on this battle.
Although he was currently in a predicament, he could still manage to spare a dozen men to observe the situation in the North.
After receiving the reports from the north, Yu Jianshen secluded himself in the sleeping chamber, continuously sitting silently within the palace.
His complexion was pale, his eyes lifeless, his pupils lacking focus, completely oblivious to the passage of time.
