The Dragon Guards moved quickly and reached Yangzhou in just a few days.
"Say that again." Zhao Yao looked incredulously at the ordinary-looking man in front of him, "What did you just say?"
The Hidden Guard A respectfully repeated, "Your Highness the Tenth, the Emperor wants you to return."
Zhao Yao shouted, "Return? Return where?"
"Return to the capital." The Hidden Guard A added, "The Emperor instructed that if you are unwilling to return..."
Zhao Yao interrupted the Hidden Guard A: "If I'm unwilling to return, does that mean I don't have to?"
"No, the Emperor instructed that if you are unwilling to return, you will be bound and brought back."
Upon hearing these words, the smile on Zhao Yao's face vanished completely. He said with a cold expression and displeasure, "Say that again."
The Hidden Guard A deliberately raised his voice and repeated, "Your Highness the Tenth, the Emperor instructed that if you are unwilling to return, you will be bound and brought back."
