Early in the morning, before dawn even broke, the patrolling guards on the watchtower noticed someone riding a fast horse approaching from a distance.
Since it was only one person, they didn't alert their supervisor but aimed their bows at him. When the horse was 10 meters away from the military camp, the rider pulled on the reins and raised his hand.
"The Imperial Edict is here! Open the gate!"
The moment the patrolling guards saw the bright yellow edict in his hand, they quickly opened the gate.
The messenger urged his horse forward and rode past them at high speed. When he reached the open area near the General's tent, he dismounted and rushed over to report.
The guards standing outside the General's tent noticed the messenger's token and went to inform Lu Qianxuan. Soon after, the messenger was summoned.
