   Urgent and direct! When Yuan Hao opened his eyes, seven thousand men outside the tent were distributing the last three days' worth of rations. In three months, he would lose Luoyang, his son would be captured, and he himself would be beheaded by a county soldier. In his previous life, he had spent eight years investigating ancient water conservancy heritage, and his research topic was precisely the route of Yuan Hao and Chen Qingzhi's northern expedition and the defense of the Mazhu River. He knew how seven thousand white-robed soldiers had conquered thirty-two cities, and he also knew how this miracle had been defeated by military discipline, suspicion, starvation, and a sudden flood. Now, he was a grandson of the Northern Wei emperor who had fled to the Southern Liang; beside him was Chen Qingzhi, who had been sent north by Emperor Wu of Liang; before him stood Qiu Daqian's 79,000 strongholds, Kaocheng's 20,000 imperial guards, Yang Yu's supposedly 70,000-strong garrison at Xingyang, and Erzhu Rong, who had just slaughtered two thousand nobles at Heyin. When others asked him, "With seven thousand soldiers, do you really dare to declare yourself emperor?" Yuan Hao only knew that he had to take back Luoyang to survive! The soldiers were borrowed. Luoyang was not. The world is no exception.

   At midnight, Qingfeng Temple was as quiet as a tomb. Torn prayer flags fluttered weakly in the night wind, making a soft, rustling sound, like banners summoning souls. The pale moonlight, filtering through gaps in the collapsed courtyard wall, illuminated the desolate scene of overgrown weeds and broken tiles. The main hall had long since burned down, leaving only a few charred beams stubbornly pointing towards the night sky, like the ribs of a giant beast. Li Moxuan lay prone in the weeds, like a stone. His breathing was extremely low, almost inaudible. His wounds were still bleeding, and the knife wound on his left leg throbbed with every movement, yet he didn't even flinch. His eyes were fixed on the eaves of the main hall. There, a dark figure. Not a bird, nor the shadow of a branch—it was a person. The person clung to the upturned eaves like a gecko, motionless, blending into the night. But when the moonlight occasionally swept across, one could glimpse the gleaming hilt of the sword at his waist. A sentry from the Shadow Pavilion. Sure enough, a net had been set up here as well. Li Moxuan's heart sank. From Tiekou Temple to here, he had traveled through most of the capital, changed his clothes three times, and even soaked in a stinking ditch for half an hour before barely shaking off his pursuers. Yet, the people from Yingge had still gotten there before him.

    Ke Tingyan's grandfather was the richest man in Haicheng, and his maternal grandfather was the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armed Forces in Beijing. Ke's parents were a powerful figure in the marriage between officials and businessmen, representing the most influential families in both Beijing and Haicheng. Power and money were concentrated in the Ke family's hands. Ke Tingyan himself was a prodigy. Whether in officialdom or business, he could easily attain a high position if he so desired. However, the Ke family resided in Haicheng, and their influence in Beijing wasn't as prominent, far less than that of the Song family, the richest family in Beijing. But even compared to the Song family, the Ke family was probably inferior. Zhou Qi learned these things from her master. Besides power, money, and status, Ke Tingyan also possessed a handsome appearance. With superior bone structure and a height of 1.88 Meters, he exuded an innate nobility when wearing a white coat. His physique was also outstanding, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist—he was practically walking embodiment of masculinity.
