Chapter 670: Still Merely the Martial World

As the reply letter was completed, the newlywed couple from last night changed out of their wedding robes, put on martial attire, mounted their swift steeds, and headed straight for Puyang alongside Cui Yuanyong’s personal guards.

Puyang was ultimately the frontline of the Cui and Wang factions; although the prior battle had concluded, and Huangfu Shouzong’s imperial army and the forces of other counties had returned, the remaining garrison was by no means small, the main force of the Cui family was still present, and even the Blood God Sect was there, meaning going over now allowed them to immediately march out for war.
