Gu Jiao had never visited that city, yet in her dreams, she could name it—Nanhai City, the smallest city in the southernmost part of Zhan Country.

The island was originally part of Nanhai City but had been occupied by sea bandits.

The purpose of Marquis Xuanping’s mission was to eradicate the pirates and reclaim the island.

The situation with the pirates was anything but simple, for as Marquis Xuanping headed south to suppress the bandits, dire news arrived from the border of Zhan Country—colluders of the old dynasty, in cahoots with Chen Country, had resulted in a defeat at Tang Yueshan; Princess Ning An was captured.

To rescue Princess Ning An, the old marquis ventured alone into danger and unfortunately fell into a trap set by remnants of the previous dynasty.

With three cities lost at the border, the emperor raged with fury and immediately summoned Gu Changqing, who was near Fengdu Mountain, to return to the capital and commanded him to reorganize the Gu Family army and march north to fight the enemy.

Yet before the army could set off, news came from the border that both Gu Chengfeng and the old marquis had perished.

It turned out that Gu Chengfeng, learning of his grandfather’s capture, had quietly left Capital City and headed for the border alone, planning to rescue his grandfather.

He was Fei Xue, and in principle, stealing a person from the enemy camp should have been well within his capabilities.

But something went awry along the way, and he was discovered by the enemy, peppered with a hail of arrows, and killed.

The enemy severed his head and displayed it on the city walls alongside the old marquis’ head.
