The dozen or so carriages from Hou Qin stopped by a wide river.
The river was named the Ao River, and crossing this river led to Hou Qin's Imperial Capital, Yang City.
The water flowed endlessly, and Dugu Xiu gazed at the river with a stern demeanor.
"Crown Prince, the Holy Daughter has just sent a letter," A guard handed over a letter as Dugu Xiu stepped down from the carriage.
Dugu Xiu just glanced at it briefly before crushing the letter with his fighting spirit.
Hei Linlin, his half-sister, truly was a handful.
This would be the second time Dugu Xiu and Hei Linlin met.
About ten years ago, when Dugu Xiu was only eight or nine years old, he faced the most brutal trial of his life.
The princes of Hou Qin, unlike those of other nations, had no designated Crown Prince heir until Dugu Xiu was ten, as Hou Qin Emperor Dugu Sheng hadn't decided yet.
He handed over all princes and princesses, aged three to ten, to a group of ruthless assassins for training in Hou Qin Palace.
