"Hee-yah, hee-yah, hee-yah! Make way!"
At a northern border outpost, a fast horse galloped in. The rider held a token, and the soldiers at the checkpoint hurriedly made way.
Then, he entered the camp, twisting and turning through the paths until he reached a tent, where he tightened the reins and dismounted.
"The Emperor has ordered, General Gao to receive the decree!"
Gao Chi quickly came out from the tent and knelt on one knee.
"General Gao, the Emperor said that since the mistake has already been made, then we should follow through on it. Guard against the Daliang Army, and if they dare disturb, then strike back fiercely!"
Gao Chi had originally been worried that the Emperor would blame him this time, considering he had carelessly fallen into a trap.
The key point was, he didn't even know who had set the trap!
This was not mere negligence; it was outright incompetence!
Yet to his surprise, the Emperor didn't prosecute?
This wasn't typical of the Emperor's nature!
