Since these issues have been resolved, the next step is naturally to prepare for departure as soon as possible.
Lu Qing also mentioned this matter to Zhu Cheng. Zhu Cheng was shocked and hurriedly asked whether he needed to send someone over, lest there be rumors about collusion between Jie and Shuo regarding rebellion.
Lu Qing told him that General Yi has some troops under his command, especially since this matter might require going to Lan Country's turf. Given Shuo Country and his current situation as Prince Shuo, it's indeed not quite appropriate.
Zhu Cheng understood this point. He needs to make amends, prepare, and request forgiveness from Emperor Jin for more than a few matters. He's pretty much unable to care for himself and indeed cannot afford any additional complications.
Because the news came suddenly, the decision to leave was also immediate, and several people hurriedly packed their things.
