Their ability to pass unimpeded through the heavily guarded territory controlled by Prince of Yan Hua Fadie was thanks to the leader of this group of Xiongnu officers, Zhang Hao. While Zhang Hao was officially a soldier of the Yan Military Guard, he was actually a spy planted by the Xiongnu Empire who had managed to infiltrate the ranks by a stroke of luck, which allowed him to move freely across the lands of Ximing Prefecture under the Prince of Yan.
Of course, the Left Wise King of Xiongnu chose not to take this route himself because he was far too conspicuous, and Prince of Yan Hua Fadie would never have let him pass through unmolested—something the Left Wise King knew all too well, given his deep awareness of the Prince of Yan's power.
After gathering this intelligence, Prince of Shicheng Hua Tianxiong also discovered that the Left Wise King had entrusted the vast majority of the medicinal pills and various items acquired at the auction to these twenty Xiongnu soldiers, who were tasked with smuggling them secretly back to the Xiongnu Empire. Meanwhile, the Left Wise King himself remained in the Zhao State, preparing for a decisive battle to the death against the Zhao State forces that would waylay him halfway.
