Following the orders of the two Purple Guards, the black-robed men of the Xuanyin Division pressed forward step by step. In sharp contrast, the estate guards of the Eastern Prince's Estate retreated a step for every step the Xuanyin Division advanced.
It was common knowledge in Wu Zhou that the Xuanyin Division served as the Emperor's personal troops. With the Golden Saber in his hand, Eastern Prince Zhu Minjun could execute a few members of the Xuanyin Division and simply brush it off by claiming he was in a bad mood. Even if he incurred the Emperor's wrath, a few scapegoats would be executed to pay for the crime, and after a round of reprimands, the princedom would still be his.
The Eastern Prince could afford to do that, but they certainly could not. If they were to clash head-on with the Xuanyin Division in broad daylight, win or lose, none of them would keep their heads.
