In these three days, a lot happened. Xia Geng safely returned to the Xia Family Army with his men and immediately ordered the arrest of the traitor, a Colonel who usually went unnoticed.
But how could a mere Colonel have the ability to communicate with the Beirong people? There must be a more powerful backing behind him.
As for who this backing was, it could no longer be investigated, because clearly, the other side had decided to sacrifice the pawn to save the king, poisoning the Colonel before they noticed.
And they did it so cleanly without leaving a single clue behind.
This matter, therefore, had to be left unresolved.
What's more infuriating was that the day after Xia Geng safely returned, the reinforcements sent by the Imperial Court finally arrived.
The young general leading the reinforcements had a very arrogant attitude, complaining immediately upon arrival about the harsh climate beyond the border and the dangers of the journey.
