"Dugu Yu? That is one of the four great generals of the Southern Territory, known as the Poison General. He once single-handedly wiped out an entire small nation with poison—he didn't even spare the newborn infants!"
The presence of Nangong Lie from the Eastern Territory was already enough to shock the citizenry, but no one expected Dugu Yu from the Southern Territory to appear as well. These two men—one possessing courage that outshone the entire army, the other notorious for his deadly toxins—could strike fear into the hearts of any enemy force simply by standing on the field. To think that both had arrived at the Capital City, only to kneel before Chu Xuan.
Yet, it did not end there. After Nangong Lie and Dugu Yu appeared, figures began to emerge from the rooftops along the riverbank. Moving with the speed of a gale, lightning-fast, they descended upon the river in the blink of an eye. Dividing into two groups, they gathered behind Nangong Lie and Dugu Yu and knelt on one knee in perfect unison, their voices thundering as one: "The Vanguard Army of the Eastern Territory pays respects to the Nation-Guarding Prince of Langya! Long live the Prince, long live the Prince, may he live for ten thousand years!"
