The sky finally dawned.
Gu Chengfeng sat on the boat, feeling extremely depressed.
Xingyue Dao Master and Prince Ping did indeed keep their word. There were no pursuers behind them. With the help of Dao Master Xingyue, it is no longer possible to assassinate King Ping.
He was a little disheartened.
Full of ambitions, I went down the mountain, wanting to follow Prince Jing to make some big noise. Unexpectedly, things went against my expectations. I had a battle with Xingyue Taoist Master last night. Although there was no winner, I really saw the power of Xingyue Taoist Master. Awesome, how easy is it to unify the world? But if he returned to Prince Jing's Mansion without completing his mission this time, he couldn't afford to lose this person no matter what.
"Go back to Tianshan, Master! I will take revenge on you later!"
Yun Yi obviously saw what was on his master's mind. In this battle, two more junior brothers were killed, and two more junior brothers were seriously injured. Now, since I don't have the face to go back to Prince Jing's Mansion, it is better to go back to Tianshan first and then make plans.
Gu Chengfeng nodded heavily, and for a moment, his heart felt empty.
The water of the Han River, with the breeze, carries the fishy smell of the early morning, which enters the nose slowly. On both sides of the bank, there are bursts of fragrant grass. The farmers who got up early are puffing their dry smoke and blowing out the longest smoke rings.
This reminded him of Tianshan. In this season, the snow in the Tianshan Mountains has gradually melted, the trees are lush, and the flowers are blooming. It is a divine realm that many people yearn for!
Go home, go back to Tianshan!
A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. Before leaving, the melancholy shown by his gentle wife for the first time stirred a soft feeling under his cold appearance at this moment.
"Yier, you are right, go back to Tianshan!"
Then, he shouted to the boatman: "Brother, just send us to Gucheng!"
Tianshan Mountain is a long way away, and Gu Chengfeng thought that the boatman couldn't go very far by water. He disembarked from Gucheng, then took the land route, via Shangluo, to Chang'an, and then along the Silk Road back to Tianshan Mountain.
"okay!"
The boatman was very excited. For this job, Gu Chengfeng gave him fifty taels of silver, which was enough for him to take a good rest.
As the oars sounded, Xiangyang City became farther and farther away.
At this end, Prince Ping finally settled down and was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
"Your Majesty, there is urgent news!"
Outside the door, Commander Qi's voice sounded urgent.
Prince Ping touched his heavy and confused head and stood up in surprise.
"Who is so bold and loud!"
He was a little angry. He was frightened and tired last night and almost died in the house. He had only slept for a few hours when someone knocked on the door in such a panic.
He put on his clothes and opened the door. The two guards were at a loss, but Commander Qi looked worried. Next to him was General Wu Yingxiong.
Wu Yingxiong held an arrow and an untied paper ball in his hand. When he saw King Ping, he didn't care about being polite and quickly offered the paper ball.
When King Ping saw it, he knew that something big was going to happen. He took it over and opened the paper ball. When he saw it, he couldn't help but get angry and his complexion suddenly turned bad.
"You, Prince Jing, have done this to me!"
It turned out that what was written on this piece of paper was that the imperial court accused him of murdering Du Cheng, so he mobilized troops to attack the crime.
Commander Qi had heard about this matter from Wu Yingxiong along the way, and he couldn't help but feel worried. After all, the news they received during their previous mission to Prince Jing's Mansion was that the imperial court was sending troops to Jiangnan, but unexpectedly, they were coming. They turned their troops in the middle and pointed directly at Xiangyang City.
The actual situation is that before daybreak, people have already deployed troops on the other side of Xiangyang City, and they are still sending the book of crusade with strong slaves.
"General Wu, take me to the city quickly to take a look!"
King Ping is not the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Although today's incident was not expected, he has already prepared for it. He also wants to see how his Xiangyang troops can fight against the royal army.
"As you command!"
Wu Yingxiong quickly handed over his hands and led the way.
"Commander Qi, inform Taoist Master Xingyue to take the guards of the mansion and follow me!"
King Ping gave another order to Commander Qi that his own safety must be guaranteed at all times.
