"Great General!"
Nalan Qiutong had just left, when Du Yunzhong impatiently strode into the tent: "You absolutely can't fall for that demon girl's trick... Is she trying to lure you to Qian State? That's a place where you can't go right now!"
"..."
Chen Chong silently changed into his azure robe.
He calmly said, "In the two days that I'm gone, hold Xuanbei Pass well. Although the Tribulation Lord has retreated defeated, the Demon Tide might not be gone for good."
"General!"
Du Yunzhong became anxious, dropped to the ground with a thud, and grasped Chen Chong's leg, speaking through gritted teeth: "You don't need to hide it from me... I know the one who made a move at Xuanbei Pass was Xie Xuanyi... If it were only a matter of 'defying the edict,' Qian State would no more than issue a verbal condemnation or two, but if accused of colluding with Chu people, it would be far more difficult to clear yourself."
