After returning, Zichuan Xiu told Si Yilin everything he had seen in the enemy camp. The arrival of the Divine Emperor now made them somewhat uneasy. Zichuan Xiu didn’t forget to ask Si Yilin whether he was still thinking about the Northern princess Ka Dan. Si Yilin admitted that he indeed was, but he was worried that they might never meet again, especially since tomorrow they would be fighting against Ka Dan’s father.

Si Yilin suddenly asked whom Zichuan Xiu missed. Zichuan Xiu pretended to be carefree, saying he missed many people—Xiaohua, Xiaoli, and so on. Si Yilin knew Zichuan Xiu had always avoided facing his true feelings and didn’t press further. The Divine Emperor and Yun Qianxue continued analyzing Di Lin’s possible location. The Divine Emperor didn’t believe Di Lin could escape no matter what.

At this time, Di Lin was indeed planning to use war hawks to transport food into Payi City. His subordinates were concerned that this might cause the loss of all the war hawks, but Di Lin could no longer care about that—his brothers were the ones trapped in Payi City. Just as the Northern forces were attacking Payi City, hundreds of war hawks flew over.

Zichuan Xiu was overjoyed, knowing that Di Lin had arrived because these war hawks were his prized possessions. Although the Divine Emperor ordered the hawks to be shot down, many still made it into the city. Di Lin, wearing flight wings, also flew toward Payi City. Yun Qianxue immediately ordered archers to shoot, but they missed the best opportunity. Di Lin successfully entered the city, ready for the three brothers to face Yun Qianxue together.

Under Di Lin’s command, the war hawks carried explosives and charged toward the enemy. The soldiers were terrified and fled. Both Yun Qianxue and the Divine Emperor were shocked. After the battle, Di Lin and his two brothers emerged victorious, though more than half of the war hawks were lost. Zichuan Xiu flattered Di Lin, only to angle for a chance to fly himself. Si Yilin worried that the Northern forces would attack again.

Di Lin was most concerned about the 300,000 troops outside the city—the enemy wouldn’t give up easily. Then Di Lin suddenly thought of a way to make them retreat without fighting: negotiation. But clearly now was not the right time, and Di Lin started to contemplate how to initiate talks.

Yun Qianxue was distressed by the defeat and begged the Divine Emperor to execute him, but the Divine Emperor spared his life, instructing him to keep fighting against the three Zichuan brothers. Zichuan Xiu and Di Lin analyzed that the Divine Emperor might have used the Ka Dan situation as a pretext to send troops. On the surface, he appeared heartbroken and claimed to have dispatched troops in anger upon hearing of Ka Dan’s death.

However, it was possible someone was stirring up trouble, hiding the fact that Ka Dan was actually alive. They believed that perhaps sending Ka Dan back could avert the war. Zichuan Xiu and Di Lin went to drink with Si Yilin. Di Lin suggested that negotiations would be the best course of action, but if Si Yilin still wanted to fight, they would stand with him.

Si Yilin embraced his two brothers, declaring he would not become a traitor to Zichuan and asking them to protect Ka Dan. When Di Lin returned to Zichuan intending to escort Ka Dan, he was suddenly surrounded by Luo Minghai and his men. Just as tensions rose, Li Qing arrived to deliver an order—the commander wanted to see Di Lin. Luo Minghai had no choice but to withdraw. Meanwhile, Payi City was once again under siege.

The defenders had been fighting nonstop for ten days, and Si Yilin realized the enemy was attempting a war of attrition. Di Lin went to see Zichuan Canxing, who was having his hair combed. Di Lin offered to do it for him and updated him on the Payi City situation: supplies could last at most ten more days, over half the troops had already been lost, and even the Divine Emperor himself was now personally leading the attack.

The Northern forces were overwhelming, and not only was Payi City facing certain doom, the rest of Zichuan would soon be in grave danger too. Canxing feared a great calamity for Zichuan. Di Lin proposed peace talks and hoped Canxing would agree. The first condition was to return Ka Dan and let her help mediate. Canxing found this reasonable. Di Lin also suggested Canxing relinquish control of the Twenty-Three Remote Prefectures. Furious, Canxing drew his sword at Di Lin.

Di Lin explained his reasoning: given the heavy losses, if the war continued, Zichuan would surely be destroyed within three years. Only peace talks could buy ten years of recovery. Then, all that was lost could be regained. With endurance and determination, Zichuan would grow strong again. More importantly, Zichuan Ning would live to witness Zichuan’s future prosperity.
