At the General's manor, Qin Zhang Wei was informed that he was needed at the palace. When he came back home, he went to his room and changed into his silver armor.

"I'm going to the west border to deal with the growing rebellion" Qin Zhang Wei informed his family. Mrs. Qin sighed and nodded her head "Be careful, look after yourself" He nodded and hugged his mother to ease her worries.

On the same day, Qin Zhang Wei left the manor with his men for war. Before he departed, he stared at his family, before urging his horse. A week of non-stop riding, Qin Zhang Wei and his men arrived at the west border. He noticed that one of the commanding Generals set a camp near the battle.

In the middle of the camp, stood a large tent. Qin Zhang Wei and his commanders went inside and reviewed the progress of handling the rebellion. Qin Zhang Wei looked over the map of the West border and its surroundings. Currently there are no casualties, but half of the west soldiers are injured.

He decided to send out five hundred troops from his men to aid the three hundred west soldiers. Qin Zhang Wei picked up a brush and discussed the plan to his Generals. He decided that three-hundred soldiers will face the rebels head on, while the other half will be divided to two and simultaneously attack on both sides.

At the Feng Manor, a servant came to inform Feng Dong Tao about his assassins. "Master, our men heard that the assassins attacked a tea house at the south of the Capital. Coincidentally the General and the Third Prince were there so the assassins were immediately disposed of by their men".

Feng Dong Tao grew furious and threw a vase at the wall of his study. He looked at the servant and shouted at him to leave. He picked up a brush and wrote to his fellow ministers, informing them about his first daughter and the jade bracelet.

On the other side of the manor, another man is furious that he beat an innocent servant and threw her lifeless body on the floor. "when this servant went to town earlier, there are rumors circulating at the town about three dead bodies found on the creek. So I went there and found the bodies of the men we sent"

Feng Dong Fu breathes heavily and bangs the table "Inform mother about this, send new men to investigate what happened and who killed them" the servant nodded his head and left.

Back to the An village, it was already late at night when a knock was soon heard outside their home. Lu Ying Yue, who was about to lie down, wore her outer robe and went out of her room. Qiu Weiyuan opened the door and saw Lei Peizhi and his men.
