In the next three days, Gu Yuzhi followed Mr. Huo around the inside of Jingxiang. Not only did he see the magical tree, but he also finally saw the shadow of a heavy crossbow that had not been burned out.

He was so busy every day that he fell asleep right after dinner. He had no time to chat with Mr. Huo and others like before.

Gu Yu knew that all the information had been collected and asked Hei Yuan to go to the palace again with the letter.

And Huizhou seemed to have suddenly calmed down.

Qi Chengjun looked at the man with a smile on his face, and his lowered hands slowly clenched into fists. However, his back seemed to be bent, and his whole energy seemed to have been sucked away.

He was fighting wits and courage with King Chu's people here in Huizhou. He had never felt this tired in more than a year.

But now, when he saw this person appear, his inner perseverance seemed to have a place to pour out.

He twitched the corner of his mouth, turned around and sat back on the chair. After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Qi is honored by your protection trip. But now the King of Chu has been angered, Huizhou..."

The King of Chu now clearly looks like he wants to break up with everyone. If he simply led troops to encircle Huizhou, it would be a shame for him to die, but how could the thousands of people in Huizhou be so innocent?

This was Qi Chengjun's first thought when he saw people on the street defending him.

But now, when he saw this person, he knew that King Chu would not give up, but he would not act so quickly either.

Then why did he do this? This was obviously to anger King Chu?
Huizhou's wealthy businessmen and gentry were chattering below. Qi Chengjun's brain felt as if hundreds of ducks had blown it up. He was obviously not very annoyed, but he could still find a nerve to think about why this person wanted to anger the King of Chu. ?
Could it be the emperor?

Could it be that something happened in Mobei?

But my younger brother just wrote to me, and the letter didn't mention anything about the changes in Mobei...

It wasn't until the yamen fell silent that Qi Chengjun suddenly knelt down towards the man and said respectfully: "Father."

As soon as these words came out, except for the person who recognized Qi Guogong before, the other guards' jaws dropped in shock.

How does this man look like the Duke of Qi!

Qi Guogong laughed, helped Qi Chengjun up, and patted his shoulder hard.

Although I have been looking at it all afternoon, I still can't help but feel red eyes when I look at it again: "I have lost a lot of weight. If your mother saw this, I don't know how sad she would be."

Qi Chengjun didn't think it was a big deal: "Although I help the emperor share his worries in Beijing, fighting with those ministers is nothing new. It's more interesting to come to Huizhou."

As the father and son spoke, they went to the place where Qi Chengjun currently lived. They heard Qi Chengjun's very soft voice telling Duke Qi about what happened here bit by bit.

The father and son seemed to be still in Beijing, one talking and the other listening, and finally analyzing together.

Since Qi Chengjun came to Huizhou, there is no one around him with whom he can discuss things. He often wonders how he would handle this matter if his father were here.

Everyone thought that his father was just a rude military commander, but they didn't know that his father was as resourceful and thoughtful as the staff around him when he was the emperor or the prince.

It wasn't until he returned to his residence that Qi Chengjun knelt down again. This time, Qi Chengjun kowtowed to Duke Qi three times before choking up and saying, "Father, you have worked hard on this journey."

The distance between Beijing and Huizhou was not far, and my father had to make the journey and disguise himself to live in Jiangzhou. This was difficult, but even his father knew it without telling him.

Duke Qi laughed and took off the disguise on his face, revealing his dark complexion and smooth chin. It wasn't until they saw Duke Qi's true face that the guards suddenly realized that Duke Qi was really here.

The Duke of Qi helped Qi Chengjun up and waved his hand. When they were the only two left in the room, he whispered: "The emperor asked me to come here urgently to mobilize the Lingnan garrison."

Mobilize the garrison?

Qi Chengjun's pupils were shaking, and his breathing became rapid: "Father, what are you doing to mobilize the Lingnan garrison? The Emperor wants to attack the King of Chu..."

Duke Qi nodded slowly: "I heard news from the king that the King of Chu sent someone to Quanzhou with the intention of destroying and dividing the Mobei Army. General Lu and the prefect of Quanzhou, Prefect Ke, followed the clues and found this man. Only then did they realize that this man had already Escaped."

Qi Chengjun didn't think too much about just escaping from the border. After all, what this man did was going to cause his head to fall.

People who don't want to die have fled to Guan, and it's not uncommon in all dynasties.

Qi Guogong continued: "Prefect Ke investigated and found out that before leaving, the man invited many people to buy salt in the Mobei Prefecture. He took the salt with him to the outside of the customs."

Did you take salt with you outside the customs?

Now, Qi Chengjun had to think more!

In just a moment, Qi Chengjun reacted, clenched his hands into fists, and slammed them on the table: "King Chu, let that man take these salts to find the Beidi people!"

Beidi doesn't know how to make salt. In order to buy salt over the years, I don't know how much I have contributed to Sang Changshang.

And now, this man went to Beidi with the salt he bought scattered as a guide!
Speaking of this matter, Qi Guogong looked very ugly: "Of course we hope that this is the person's own behavior and has nothing to do with the King of Chu. But I came to Jiangnan and after many investigations, I found that this person should have been appointed by the King of Chu. ”

"I have angered the King of Chu today, but the King of Chu still dare not move because he still has to wait for the news to come back from Beidi that Beidi agrees to cooperate. Only in this way can he and the people of Beidi cooperate inside and outside. "

King Chu didn't really have no brains at all. He naturally knew that at this juncture, if he really killed Qi Chengjun in front of everyone, the emperor would not give him another chance to wait.

Qi Chengjun closed his eyes: "King Chu is really..."

He really didn’t know what to say!
A dignified prince actually cooperated with the murderous Beidi people for his own selfish interests.

Qi Chengjun said: "Hasn't he ever thought about what he would do if they really succeed and the Beidi people don't leave?"

"For the King of Chu, that was after the victory of the war. Naturally, he won't think about it so much now."

The successive defeats had left King Chu with no hope of winning, so he took such a desperate risk and cooperated with the Beidi people.

"I'm going to Lingnan from Huizhou, and it will probably take me more than a month to come back."

Duke Qi patted Qi Chengjun on the shoulder: "You should be more careful in the past month or so and act a little bolder."

Qi Chengjun nodded solemnly.

Since the King of Chu has scruples, then he doesn’t have to scruples!
