Chapter 212: War (1)

The more one suppressed news, it would spread out like wildfire instead. The next day, the recent news that a war was at hand in Fengfu City was already out in the open and downright uncontrollable. This had reached other nearby cities in no time. 

In the capital city, the king's secret knights didn't waste time to inform him, and his armies had begun their march to the border city. 

Ming could not stop the people from fleeing. They were ready to make a riot, break the gates, and charge out. No point in keeping them. This was also convenient on their part. The lesser the casualties, the better. So Ming allowed them, but he only opened the south gate and admitted no one inside. Only those with the governor's approval could go in.
