The battle lasted longer than expected, but the outcome did not change.
One year later, an army of two hundred thousand returned to the capital in a triumphant return.
During this year, the name of His Royal Highness Prince Yu, Ji Yu, became widely known, especially for his feat of leading a surprise force deep into enemy territory and beheading the enemy leader from a thousand miles away, which was extolled by the people of the Tianqi Dynasty.
Today was the day the army returned to the capital.
Countless people flooded the streets, standing on both sides of the road, eager to behold the elegance of His Royal Highness Prince Yu.
Gu Shengyin was also among them. She, along with Eldest Princess Wen Cheng, surrounded by several servants and guards, stood among the crowd, waiting for the returning hero.
Soon, the figure of the army appeared at the city gate.
The Great General led on a tall horse, followed closely by Ji Yu in his silver-white armor.
