When King Chu's secret guards arrived in Mobei, Gu Yuzhi had already returned to Changzhou from Quanzhou. He basically stayed in the mansion all day and rarely went out.

A few days later, Guard Shen led his team back from Jinzhou. He returned to the mansion with a solemn expression. As soon as he entered the meeting hall, he knelt down to Gu Yuzhi and said, "Your Highness, something happened in Huizhou."

Gu Yuzhi jumped down from the chair with a thud and helped Guard Shen up: "What happened in Huizhou?"

Isn’t the Prince of Qi in Huizhou? Why did something happen?

Gu Yuzhi's surprised face suddenly tightened, and his voice changed tone: "It's not Huizhou that's in trouble, it's Huizhou's magistrate. Something's happened to Prince Qi, right?"

The escort agency often brought back news about Huizhou. Every time before, they said that Prince Qi was very popular and the people liked him very much.

How could such a powerful person as Prince Qi cause trouble in Huizhou?

Unless something happens to him!

Gu Yuzhi felt that there was nothing wrong with his logic. He looked at the silent guard Shen and stamped his feet: "Speak quickly. Did something happen to Prince Qi?"

Guard Shen shook his head and said, "I have not received any specific information. I just judge that something happened in Huizhou."

Xie Changshi on the side was almost frightened to death by Guard Shen, and whispered: "What's going on?"

Guard Shen said softly: "Your Highness, this time the Mobei merchant gang broke up into parts and went to Jinzhou to buy grain. I originally wanted to buy more, but I didn't expect that the Huizhou Grain Store was not open. Not only was the Huizhou Grain Store open, but also those days The Jiangnan Food Store is not even open."

Jiangnan is a major grain-producing area. In a place like this, the grain shops were closed down, and so many of them were closed down at once. It was strange that there was nothing fishy about it.

Guard Shen continued: "Not only the grain stores in Jiangnan in Jinzhou, but also in Linzhou and other places are not open. I sent people to the capital to inquire about it. The Jiangnan grain store in the capital is also closed."

You know, Jiangnan Rice Store was not closed even during the flood months, and everything was operating normally.

Otherwise, the floods in Jiangnan could not have been hidden for so many years.

Gu Yuzhi's mind went blank, and he sat back in his chair blankly. After a long while, he said: "The grain store in Jiangnan is not open. Brother Huang must know it, right?"

He stood up suddenly again, pinched his index finger and thumb together, put it into his mouth and whistled violently, and soon the black kite rushed in.

It walked twice on the square table, then moved its head and stared at Gu Yuzhi with its beady eyes, giving people an invisible pressure.

"Hei Yuan, wait a minute, I want to deliver a message to Brother Huang."

Gu Yuzhi bit his lower lip.

In fact, he not only wanted to see off the imperial brother, but also wanted to send a letter to Prince Qi and ask him what happened there.

He was a little anxious.

Brother Chu Wang's people have already left the pass, and Beidi may come in at any time. If something happens to Huizhou, the people in Jiangnan will suffer.

Black Kite barked twice, as if he had agreed.

Mingli trotted back to the study, and soon came back with pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Gu Yuzhi quickly wrote down the strange phenomena in Jiangnan on the paper. At the same time, he asked the emperor if he knew about these things. If there was really something strange in Jiangnan, What should he do.

After the paper was completely dry, he carefully tied the paper to Hei Yuan's hungry feet and gently touched Hei Yuan's head: "Hei Yuan, thank you for your hard work. Go and come back quickly."

The black kite screamed, fluttered its wings and flew out, and soon the figure disappeared into the sky. Gu Yuzhi bit his lower lip and then looked at Xie Changshi: "Xie Changshi, I wonder if Brother Huang wants to attack Brother Chu Wang first?"

Mr. Huo said that if the Jiangnan navy moved northward with its sword, the Beidi people returned to the south, and the two sides met in the capital, then the capital would be very likely to be captured.

Brother Huang must have thought of what Mr. Huo said, so he decided to let Brother Chu take action in advance?

Wouldn't it be dangerous for Prince Qi to be alone in Huizhou?

Gu Yuzhi stood up suddenly again, turned around and said, "Xie Changshi, I want to go to Huizhou. Do you think the emperor can agree?"

Xie Changshi looked slightly stunned, and after a while he said: "Your Highness went to Huizhou, but for the sake of Prince Qi?"

Gu Yuzhi nodded his head: "Of course it is for Prince Qi, but also for the people of Huizhou. Jiangnan rice shops are closed, and the situation in Huizhou must be very bad. If Brother Chu wants to attack Brother Huang, he will definitely deal with Qi immediately. The prince’s.”

Prince Qi is so smart and courageous, and he is the elder brother of Guard Qi, so he cannot ignore death.

Besides, if the King of Chu really succeeds, the pressure on the King will be great!
Xie Changshi sighed slightly: "Then how does Your Highness want to save Prince Qi? It is impossible for the Mobei Army to leave Mobei without an order."

Even if the emperor wanted to save Prince Qi, he would not be able to let the Mobei army leave the garrison. After all, the Beidi people were still watching outside the pass.

But if you want to rescue, someone can rescue.

If there is no one, then you are going to die.

No matter how bad the Jiangnan Navy is, they are still well-trained soldiers. What's more, the King of Chu has a private army secretly that has not been investigated.

Gu Yuzhi thought that this was what happened, pouted and sat back down again.

He snorted: "It won't work this way, and it won't work that way either. By the time Brother King Chu swings his sword and goes north, it will be too late."

From Jiangnan to the capital, there are many state capitals on the way. If there is really no way to stop the King of Chu in Jiangnan, the lives of these state capitals along the way will be ruined.

Gu Yuzhi said in a low tone: "When the time comes, will they be like the people in Qingzhou, who have to sell their children to make ends meet."

The scene in Gyeongju described by Governor Huang is really scary.

His voice was a little choked: "I heard from Magistrate Huang that some of those children are younger than me. You were with me when I came to Mobei. They must be more scared than me when they leave their parents at such a young age. "

He suddenly made up his mind: "This time I go south to Huizhou. If I see any orphans, I will bring them back."

Anyway, Xinliang's charity hall is being established, and with other children accompanying it, those children who have lost their homes will definitely not be so scared.

Seeing that Gu Yuzhi had obviously made up his mind, Xie Changshi sighed silently: "Your Highness is going south, and I will naturally follow you, but have you ever thought about who you want to take?"

This is for a fight, not for fun. I just want to bring some guards with me. I just want to ensure His Highness's safety.

Gu Yuzhi tilted his head and glanced at him, his eyes full of surprise: "Xie Changshi, so you agree with me to go?"

He originally thought that it would take a long time to convince Xie Changshi. Who knew that Xie Changshi was so easy to talk to.

The joy on Gu Yuzhi's face soon fell: "Xie Changshi, do you also think that there is going to be a war in Jiangnan?"
