Chapter 1570: The Current Situation of the Capital! (1/2)

Wang Chong passed a letter to Young Master Qingyang.
Young Master Qingyang's eyes narrowed upon glancing at it, his expression turning grave.
”Understood. Leave this matter to me!”
Wang Chong nodded. Supplies needed to move before the army, and for every matter, preparation led to success and lack of preparation led to failure.
The triangular gap was in a complicated position, positioned between the Western Regions, the Western Turks, the Ü-Tsang Empire, Arabia, and the Qixi Protectorate controlled by the Confucian Sect. Although Wang Chong had dispatched Su Hanshan and Li Siye to oversee it, he had always felt the place to be too weak.
More importantly, Young Master Qingyang was the best choice for completing the mission Wang Chong had assigned.
Wang Chong also had another plan in mind. Su Hanshan and Li Siye were two of Wang Chong's most important officers, but while the two of them had been Great Generals in their last lives, they hadn't had enough time to mature in this life.
But with Young Master Qingyang's sharp intuition and vast knowledge of martial arts, he might be able to help Su Hanshan and Li Siye rise to a new level and reach the levels they had achieved in their past lives a little earlier.
Perhaps even his other officers might also be able to benefit from Young Master Qingyang's help.
The Origin Immortal Lord had said that the calamity could come at any time. Wang Chong was far too busy with other matters to teach his subordinates martial arts. In this aspect, Young Master Qingyang could completely replace him.
And once all this was done, Wang Chong had other plans for Young Master Qingyang.
”Hyah!”
Young Master Qingyang and Sword Dragon soon took their leave, and the carriage continued to hastily make its way toward the capital.
Around six or seven days later, Wang Chong's carriage finally completed its journey and returned to the majestic capital of the Great Tang.
Bang!
In the distance, the crowds were thriving, an endless stream of carriages flowing in and out of the gates.
After returning from a place as deserted as the northwest, Wang Chong couldn't help but feel a little dazzled upon seeing the capital. But he still felt that there was something different, a sense of bleakness and solemnity.
”Hyah!”
The shout from the carriage driver brought Wang Chong back to his senses, and the carriage soon mixed into the crowd entering the capital.
……
At this time, the gate to the Wang Family Residence was wide open. Old Eagle, Zhang Que, Xu Keyi, Su Shixuan, and Cheng Sanyuan were waiting in front of it.
”Xu Keyi, do you think the young master is really coming back?” Su Shixuan couldn't help but ask. Ever since he had received the news, he had become so impatient that he could hardly sit still. Wang Chong had been gone for a very long time, and all of them were worried about his condition. Moreover, without Wang Chong, the entire Wang Clan was in disarray.
Now that they had received news of Wang Chong's return, Su Shixuan could hardly contain himself.
”There's no mistake! Didn't you all read Young Master's letters?” Xu Keyi sternly replied. He could understand what all of them were feeling, and while he seemed composed, he was just as anxious as everyone else.
”Milord, can your birds see how far His Highness is now?”
Xu Keyi turned to the towering and unmoving figure of Old Eagle. After all, it had been Old Eagle who sent the initial message to Wang Chong.
All the subordinates in the estate regarded Wang Chong's return with utmost importance, and Old Eagle had even emerged from his seclusion. It was also only Old Eagle who knew the specifics of Wang Chong's route and progress.
”It's not long now. He'll be here soon.” The unperturbed Old Eagle gave a perfunctory answer.
Everyone was only further vexed by his reply. This was how Old Eagle had answered several hours ago, and he was still saying the same thing after they had all waited such a long time.
Rumble!
At this moment, a carriage rolled up and suddenly stopped in front of the residence. The carriage door opened, a foot emerging from within.
”Your Highness!”
”Your Highness!”
”His Highness has finally returned!”
Everyone quickly rushed up to welcome Wang Chong once they saw him coming out from the carriage.
Even the unperturbed Old Eagle hastily strode over.
