Capítulo 718: All into Ashes

However strongly Xu Chi, Han Qing and other generals in the Northern Army Camp were against the idea, but the Empress took the objections peacefully, and she insisted on her idea to take the Sixth Prince back to Chang'an.

The Golden Palace was coming south and the Northern Borderline of Tang was at risk. The generals had no other choice, and there was no way that they could send a large troop to escort the Empress. The final decision was to send 500 elite riders to escort the Empress.

In the morning of the day when Ning Que was leaving, he went to Xu Chi and said, "Her Majesty and I brought thousands of calvarymen to you, so I think we are qualified to ask you for a few people."

Xu Chi thought to himself and then he said, "500 cavalry soldiers is indeed not enough."

"That's not what I meant."

Ning Que said, "I don't need them alive, dead bodies will do."
