Map of the Kingdom's Warfare.

Summary

Zhang Xuan arrives at Yan Wang's residence in Luo Yang and unexpectedly meets Han Xin, who has also been promoted. They reminisce about their past battles, particularly at the Tian Si Ge tavern. Zhang Xuan learns that his old dormitory is still reserved for him and retrieves a hidden iron box containing gun parts and bullets, which remind him of his previous life. He reflects on the political situation in the capital, particularly the implications of Lai Hu Er's arrest by Yang Guang. Zhang Xuan decides to take control of his own fate rather than wait for others to decide it for him. He visits Pei Ju's residence, seeking assistance, and is welcomed by Pei Ju's grandson, Pei Xin.

The chapter ends with Pei Ju asking Zhang Xuan for evidence regarding his claims about court conspiracies.
