Zhou Huaijin looked up at Gu Chaoyan who was lying in bed, worrying. She looked better, and her face had become redder. She was no longer frowning and she was moving about as she slept.
He started to believe what Li Qing said – she would wake up the next day.
He felt quite assured since Sword One and Qing were looking after her, so he nodded. “I will be next door, come to me if anything happens.”
“Yes”
Zhou Huaijin left the room and went to meet the people from Shadow Door.
!!
Shadow Door had become the biggest department in the whole country. Apart from the hidden guards all over the land, Shadow Door also ran their own business.
Although most of the staff working for Shadow Door were hidden guards, they were clearly divided into departments.
Shadow Door had its own messengers all over the place, and Yiyan Hall was in charge of all of these.
Yisha Hall was in charge of catching wanted people, while Yishang Hall was in charge of Shadow Door’s own business.
Also, there were other departments in the halls.
The men Zhou Huaijin arranged for Jiayu Pass were from Yihang Hall, who were well trained and had experience in fighting on the battlefield.
Well…
The people from Yihang Hall were better trained than the soldiers at the military camps, because apart from being capable of fighting on the battlefield, they were also good at flying about and secret assassination.
Zhou Huaijin was not very certain about Zhou Huailing’s trip to Jiayu Pass, thus having a lot of people tagging along.
It was the hidden guards from Yihang Hall who were here.
Something must have happened at Jiayu Pass.
Zhou Huaijin more or less guessed what had happened.
He looked calm as he more or less understood what was going on generally.
“Spill.” Zhou Huaijin looked at the hidden guards from Yihang Hall, as he took a seat.
“Head, the victory the army obtained at Jiayu Pass was due to the purposeful retreat of the North Qi Land, so that the army would be less wary. The army from the North Qi Land started to invade all of a sudden the night before and Jiayu Pass has already been lost. The army of the Saint Divine Land has retreated to Feng County behind Jiayu Pass, and Feng County is already in danger.”
“…”
“General Liu has been extremely badly injured and he has not woken up until dawn. The Crown Prince has already arranged someone to bring General Liu back to the capital and they are on the way here now.”
“…”
“The civilians at Jiayu Pass will suffer. General Liu is gone and Feng County is going to be lost to the enemy too. We wondered if we should help since we are there.”
Zhou Huaijin tapped the table.
General Liu was the head. Zhou Huailing was fine, so why did General Liu get injured and sent back to the capital?
It seemed that… Zhou Huailing was indeed ambitious.
Jiayu Pass was lost, probably because he gave up on it.
He was trying to swallow General Liu’s army.
Zhou Huaijin shook his head.
How stupid he was. He was only thinking about how to start an internal fight rather than to combat against the enemy.
The Saint Divine Land was going to suffer soon.
Everyone from Yihang Hall was very skilled.
He had intended to get the people from Yihang Hall to assist the army at the Saint Divine Land, so that Jiayu Pass could be maintained, but right now, he had another idea.
