章 851: Sending Her Away (1)

Xiao Qirui had brought the imperial court's army to Nanling Pass two months ago. At that time, the Wu Kingdom's army would only occasionally send a few scouts to cause trouble. The local army did not take them seriously at all, and the imperial court soldiers were treated like outsiders.

Xiao Qirui was young, but he was on equal footing with General Meng the moment he arrived. Naturally, they were unconvinced.
