Five days later, three young secretaries set out from the Capital City, beginning an important journey in their lives.
As imperial envoys, they were accompanied by a seasoned old minister as the Vice Imperial Envoy, and a thousand elite troops of the Imperial Army. The convoy's supply wagons and provisions filled hundreds of carts, stretching out like a long serpent.
