As soon as the envoy mission heading to the South Kingdom left the Birch Pass, Luther blocked the pass, preventing anyone from entering. Some businessmen were quite dissatisfied with his action, but Luther never gave them a chance to question him while he was doing his job. The businessmen dared not to speak out their discontentment.
"Humph! Good for General Luther! Anyone can't disobey his orders in the Birch Pass. Even the other two generals don't make friends with him. Now he has become even more arrogant. He forbids everyone from entering the city."
"You don't have to be angry about it. When the envoys are entering the South Kingdom, he has the reason to block the Birch Pass. After all, Prince Matthew and his wife are part of the mission, and he didn't want others to know about their presence among the envoys. That's why he blocked the borderland. Don't worry. It won't be a long time, and in three days, it will be reopened," another man said slowly.
"Mister, so what should we do? Are we going to stay in the Birch Pass?"
A faint smile appeared on the man's face. "If everything is normal in the Birch Pass, we will be in the city. But if something goes wrong in the pass or if something happens here, it will be uncertain."
"Mister, we didn't get the transfer order yet. Leaving without authorization…"
"Who said we didn't get the transfer order?" The man turned around, revealing a familiar face. It was the powerful and dignified commander in chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Marquis Shawn.
"Do we have the transfer order?" The deputy general, Freeman Yan, scratched his head in confusion. 'Even if we have the transfer order, what is the Northern Expedition Army going to do in the south domain? We shouldn't have come to the south in the first place, ' he thought.
Seeing the confusion on Freeman's face, Shawn explained to him, "Currently, the Great Jade Kingdom is stable. The Wonder Kingdom is peaceful as well. Yet, only the South Kingdom will try something unexpected to create problems. In the past few years, they have colluded with Harrison, and they are very ambitious. Now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, it would be the best time for them to create fresh troubles. So, the South Kingdom will certainly try to do something evil on the pretext of the Worship Ceremony."
"I heard that Prince Francis was defeated, and is gone missing since then. Mister, is he…"
"Don't talk nonsense. We shouldn't spread rumors without evidence. We are soldiers," Shawn said, and then sipped his tea from his cup elegantly. He just looked like a graceful young master, and not like a tough soldier.
