Early the next morning, Zhu Wencong was invited to the largest landlord's home in Star City, where they had prepared a welcome banquet for him.
Without a doubt, they were retired Xiang Army generals who followed Zeng Butang's orders to stay peacefully at home waiting for a summons.
Once the situation changes, the disbanded Xiang Army will quickly reorganize, still tightly united around Zeng Butang.
The guide arranged by Li Butang, Li Zhiyuan, had just seen off his old leader, only to find Zhu Wencong had been taken by the Governor, and they had reached a cooperation.
Li Zhiyuan regretted not having the art of body duplication, but fortunately, he returned quickly, attempting to pull Zhu Wencong back into the military officer camp.
Seeing Zhu Wencong and his entourage alighting from the carriage, Li Zhiyuan and landlord Zhao Ruixuan knelt in reverence, acknowledging Zhu Wencong as the sole Emperor.
