He waved his hand with a sense of openness and said, "General Zheng, do as you please. It is crucial to maintain the morale of the troops; we cannot afford to delay."
After speaking, Li Siyuan led the group onward, deeper into Tianfeng Prefecture. His silhouette appeared particularly imposing against the backdrop of the setting sun, resembling an unshakable mountain.
Zheng Qifeng gazed at Li Siyuan's retreating figure, his eyes flickering with complex emotions. He seemed to be pondering something, weighing his options.
The vice commander, observing this, couldn't help but feel puzzled. He whispered, "General, why not proceed together? Do you have other plans?"
Hearing this, Zheng Qifeng shot a sidelong glance at the vice commander, his tone laced with disdain and authority. "Hmph! What do you understand? It won't be too late to enter tomorrow. Today, I want to carefully observe the situation in Tianyang County before making any decisions."
With that, Zheng Qifeng turned and left, leaving the vice commander looking bewildered. This seemingly ordinary entry into the city quietly laid the groundwork for future upheavals.
Meanwhile, in the deep hall of the residence, Zhong Tianhao sat in the main seat, his expression grave and his gaze revealing an undeniable resolve.
He listened intently to the report from his guards, each word landing clearly in his ears. When the guard mentioned that only Li Siyuan and Zhao De had arrived while Zheng Qifeng was absent, Zhong Tianhao's brow furrowed slightly before relaxing again.
Noticing this reaction, the guard quickly nodded in confirmation, his voice tinged with anxiety as he feared that any mistake in his report might displease his superior.
Zhong Tianhao snorted coldly; the sound echoed in the spacious hall, betraying his wariness of Zheng Qifeng.
"Zheng Qifeng is indeed a favored general under Qi Wang—meticulous and cautious—far beyond what Li Siyuan and others can compare to." His words were filled with recognition of Zheng Qifeng's capabilities but also dripped with disdain for Li Siyuan and his companions.
However, Zhong Tianhao soon regained his composure, returning to his usual calm and steadiness. He understood that the current situation allowed for no carelessness.
Well then, even with Li Siyuan and others coming here, it would suffice to complete our mission. He spoke in a tone that conveyed a quiet confidence.
He then instructed the guards to make preparations, ensuring that every detail was flawless and that no mistakes were made.
"Remember," he emphasized, "our plan allows for no errors. A slight misstep could lead to total failure." His eyes sparkled with determination as if warning both the guards and himself.
The guards acknowledged their orders and hurried away with purpose yet maintained their composure. They understood they bore their master's heavy trust—this was pivotal for the entire situation.
Zhong Tianhao continued to sit in his seat, eyes closed in contemplation as he made final preparations for the impending storm.
As Li Siyuan slowly approached the residence's entrance without getting too close, he caught sight of Zhong Tianhao standing prominently at the door to greet him personally.
This scene brought a flicker of satisfaction to Li Siyuan's heart. He turned slightly to Zhao De beside him and whispered, "Chancellor, look at Zhong Tianhao; he truly understands etiquette."
However, Zhao De did not respond with a smile as Li Siyuan had hoped; instead, he wore a serious expression with furrowed brows and remained silent.
