"Understood. Leave the city to me," Zhang Shouzhi deferentially said.

"Mm."

Wang Chong nodded and smiled. As he looked up to the sky, yet another set of blue-green birds unfurled their wings and flew into the air over the City of Steel.

With Wang Chong's appearance, more and more birds had begun to appear in the skies.

Wang Chong shook his head and put the matter aside. With a smile, he set off for his next destination.

However, not even Wang Chong noticed that as he turned his head and walked away, five or six li to the north of the City of Steel, a fully-armored horseman glanced in Wang Chong's direction and turned to the northwest.

"It's about time to report to Milord!"

The warhorse set off, and that horseman who had the clear traits of a Hu vanished into a cloud of dust. After following the official road to the Western Regions for several hundred li, the horseman left the path and entered a gorgeous and magnificent palace of a dark golden hue.

Wang Chong's fief of Wushang and the city he was building were closest to the Qixi Protectorate.

"Hmph, clearly knowing that Qixi is my territory yet still daring to place his fief here, his boldness is truly even greater than the heavens. Only a year has passed. Does he really think I've forgotten the Regional Commanders incident so quickly?"

Fumeng Lingcha, the rearmost of the Great Tang's Protector-Generals in the northwest, yet also the most powerful of them all!
