"Your Highness, don't worry about me, this old man will be fine." Yang Ling reassured Prince Chu with a gentle voice, "Yang Qi is my cousin. For the sake of our kinship, even if I fall into his hands, he wouldn't take my life."
Prince Chu doubted that Yang Qi would spare Yang Ling, but he kept this thought to himself.
"Sir, we shall meet in the capital."
"Your Highness, you must also take care and be cautious." Compared to his own safety, Yang Ling was more concerned about Prince Chu's well-being.
Prince Chu said no more, for words would only increase his anxiety.
The next day, Prince Chu went to the Northern Border Camp to bid farewell to Prince Dai and General Chu.
Prince Dai could not return to the capital yet and had to remain at the Northern Border for a while longer to prevent another incursion by the Xiongnu.
As Prince Chu was about to depart, Prince Dai rudely made some sarcastic remarks, implying that Prince Chu might not make it back to the capital alive.
