Gu Chengfeng's eyes became cold.
Yun Yi's words hit his heart hard.
All the disciples were dumbfounded and at a loss. No one has ever dared to contradict Master like this. Of course, it's not like they, who are destined to be chivalrous, have never thought about their current actions and situation. But, what can I say if I have received the kindness from my teacher?
"Oh, forget it, Yi'er, if you don't want to go, just take the other disciples back to Tianshan Mountain!"
After a while, Gu Chengfeng sighed.
He is a very smart man. Even if he is confused by fame and fortune, it does not mean that he cannot understand Yun Yi's meaning. This makes sense. Therefore, he asked Yun Yi to take the remaining disciples back to Tianshan as a preservation measure. This trip to Xiangyang is extremely dangerous, and it is really hard to say whether you will succeed or become a benevolent person.
"Master, I'm going! I've been to Xiangyang, and I know more about the reality of Prince Ping's Mansion. Who else would I do if I were to go to Xiangyang? Leave the matter of returning to Tianshan to Senior Brother!"
At this time, Yun Yi's face softened slightly and he looked sincere.
Gu Chengfeng nodded. There was no reason why he couldn't trust the disciples he brought up.
"Okay, it's decided! Yi'er, you go to Xiangyang with your master. Hong'er, you take the other juniors back to Tianshan. Remember, you are not allowed to send any news to your master, and you are not allowed to go down to Tianshan again!"
This was said so decisively that Senior Brother Ning Hong, who originally wanted to go with his master, was shocked.
"How, how can this happen?"
Gu Chengfeng walked up to him, his eyes full of expectation.
His only son, Gu Tianqi, is still young. If anything unexpected happens during this trip, he still hopes that Ning Hong can help his son and make the Tianshan Sect proud! He gently patted Ning Hong on the shoulder. There was no need to say more about the profound meaning.
Soon, the personnel were decided. Gu Chengfeng and Yun Yi led eight disciples, a total of ten people, divided into two groups and went to Xiangyang.
In this chaotic situation, Prince Jing's move caught everyone by surprise.
Within a few days, news spread that the imperial court planned to send troops to Jiangnan. Especially, in the states and counties that are connected to King Ping's territory.
At that time, Wan Feitong and Wan Feitong were still observing and thinking together. The closer they got to Xiangyang, the more they believed that the imperial court had no intention of using Xiangyang as a breakthrough point.
Of course, this news quickly reached Prince Ping's Mansion through other channels.
Prince Ping's Mansion has been undergoing renovations these days since Gui Yunzheng and others made a big fuss. The fire lit by Wen Jinhua and Xie Laosan almost burned down half of the Prince's Mansion.
Prince Ping was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Not only did he run away from Gui Yunzheng, but he also cost the lives of many guards and his own home was burned to ashes.
"Is this true that the imperial army will be transferred to the south?"
At this moment, facing the spy who came to report, Prince Ping was a little unconvinced.
"It's absolutely true. From Zhongzhou to Nanyang, I saw the army gathering in a hurry and heading south. This is not to raise troops in Jiangnan, so what else is there?"
The secret agent was very sure and said it with certainty.
Prince Ping was noncommittal and pondered.
"Your Majesty, Xinye's troops have withdrawn a lot recently, and I heard they are also heading towards Hefei!"
At this time, Wu Yingxiong, the general of Xiangyang City, also added.
"Oh, is this happening?"
Prince Ping asked, still confused.
Wu Yingxiong nodded. He had been observing the movements of the Xinye defenders.
"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be further investigated. Prince Jing is very scheming. Knowing that Your Majesty wants to sit on a mountain and watch the fight between tigers, he may not dare to confidently go to the south of the Yangtze River with all his strength. His subordinates think that it may be a trick!"
This is what Zhang Da, the commander-in-chief of Xiangyang, said. As the supreme commander, he obviously has more knowledge than Wu Yingxiong.
Prince Ping nodded approvingly.
"As General Zhang said, there is indeed something fishy. Let's investigate again!"
"promise!"
The emissary had no choice but to agree and leave immediately.
