He went back, not because he agreed to Yuan Lang's request in the letter, but because, according to recent intelligence, like Gu Lan yesterday, he saw that Wei Junzhuo seemed to want to form an alliance with Qi Country and attack Yan Country again.
If war broke out again, since he was Prince Xiang, he ought to protect his land and people.
Gu Lan nodded, "Alright, Yuan Lang mentioned the first day of next month... you should set out immediately, and as for the old lady's birthday banquet and anything else, it can wait until next year."
She composed herself and continued, "After I finish celebrating the old lady's birthday, I will also request to lead troops to the Southern Border, using the crisis there as a reason."
Rong Heng was taken aback and instinctively refused, "No need, if my journey goes smoothly, and I make an alliance with Yuan Lang and then rush to the Cang Wind Port to dispel the crisis, I can return soon, and the two countries may not go to war again."
