That night, after meeting Zhao Yao, Prince Chu left Jinling immediately. As he left, he created several decoys to make it difficult for anyone to discern which one was him.
Before coming to Jinling, he specifically arranged for someone to impersonate him and stay in Peng City, to make the Crown Prince and his followers believe that he hadn't left. As of now, only Prince Wei and Zhao Yao know that Prince Chu has left Peng City; everyone else is completely unaware, thinking he is still in Peng City investigating the copper theft.
The Crown Prince, Duke Zhen, and their men have almost dug up Peng City without finding Prince Chu. The continued failure to find him worries the Crown Prince, who then instructs Prince Wei to personally visit Peng City to uncover Prince Chu's hiding place.
The main purpose of Prince Wei's journey to Jiangnan this time is to secretly infiltrate Peng City, hinder Prince Chu's investigation into the copper theft, and of course, kill Prince Chu.
