At the same time, the atmosphere in Gunzhou City was extremely tense.

In the government offices in the capital of Gunzhou Prefecture, the air was almost solid, filled with tension and anxiety.

King Zhu Cunxu of Han stood in the spacious meeting hall, his eyes showing deep worry.

He was wearing a brocade robe, but at this moment he had no intention of caring about his noble status. All his mind was occupied by the crisis in front of him.

In the government office in Fucheng, Gunzhou Prefecture, the tense atmosphere seemed to be suffocating.

King Zhu Cunxu of Han stood in the spacious meeting hall, his brows furrowed, as if he was weighing an important decision.

The counselor in black walked forward slowly, his voice low and firm: "Your Majesty, the actions of General Yuchi and the barbarians have begun, and we can't change anything now."

King Zhu Cunxu of Han took a deep breath, and his voice sounded extremely cold: "I know that for the sake of the overall situation, I can only let Linlang suffer some injustice temporarily. Her background should have made sacrifices."

The counselor in black nodded, but reminded: "Although General Yuchi is brave and good at fighting, he sometimes acts too directly. If his actions are noticed by Shenjing City, it may have an adverse impact on the prince's plan."

A flash of sharpness flashed in Zhu Cunsu's eyes: "I understand your worries. But the matter has reached this point, we can only wait and see what happens. Pass on the order to keep everyone on high alert and be ready to deal with possible changes at any time."

The counselor in black retreated in response, and the meeting hall fell into silence again.

Zhu Cunsu's eyes became profound, as if he was thinking about every move in the future.

He knows that he is walking on a path full of risks and challenges, but he also firmly believes that only by moving forward bravely can he ultimately achieve his goals.

No one will refuse the great cause of the Emperor.

Zhu Cunxu is no exception. He is willing to pay any price for this goal, even if it means sacrificing his own daughter.

In this game of thrones, no one can be alone, and everyone is fighting for their own goals.

And Zhu Cunsu will continue to move forward on this road, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead.

~~~~~~

The next day, in the mountains outside the city of Gunzhou Prefecture.

Inside a quiet cave.

"Huh, this trip is really unlucky. This is the third time I have been injured so seriously."

Fang Yue leaned against the rock wall of the cave, breathing heavily and looking slightly pale. His clothes were stained red with blood, and the wound was still aching.

The two masters joined forces to attack, and he had to distract himself from protecting Zhu Linlang. He was really powerless, and he was lucky to escape.

Fang Yue took out a bottle of healing medicine from his arms and sprinkled it on the wound skillfully. A stinging pain made him frown.

Despite this, he did not stop what he was doing because he knew that this was a necessary step in healing.

After taking care of the wound, Fang Yue rested for a while before starting to use his energy to treat the internal injuries.

Time passed slowly, Fang Yue's breathing gradually stabilized, and his internal injuries slowly recovered under the nourishment of vitality.

He opened his eyes, and there was a glint in his eyes.

At this time, there was a noise outside, and then Zhu Linlang walked into the cave and saw Fang Yue sitting there adjusting his breath, with a worried look on his face.

She walked quickly to Fang Yue and asked softly: "Brother Fang, how are you? Is your injury serious?"

When Fang Yue saw Zhu Linlang, a smile appeared on his face and he comforted: "I'm fine, it's just some skin injuries that have been taken care of. But you, aren't you injured?"

Zhu Linlang shook her head and said, "I'm fine, thanks to you protecting me. Brother Fang, are you really fine? I see you lost a lot of blood."

Fang Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm really fine. But you, I have to send you to Yujing City quickly."

Zhu Linlang had a confused look on her face after hearing Fang Yue's words.

Zhu Linlang was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Going to Yujing City? Why?"

Fang Yue explained: "The situation is complicated now, and Gunzhou Prefecture is no longer safe. Sending you to Yujing City can at least ensure your safety. Moreover, there are also your friends and relatives there, and they will take care of you."

Zhu Linlang lowered her head, thought for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Okay, I listen to you. But, I don't know how to face them..."

Fang Yue patted her shoulder gently and comforted: "Don't worry, everything will be fine. Let's leave here first, find a safe place to rest for the night, and set off for Yujing City early tomorrow morning."

Zhu Linlang nodded, with a firm light shining in his eyes.

She knew that the only thing she could do now was to trust Fang Yue and follow him to Yujing City to find a new beginning.

The two walked out of the cave, and night had fallen.

They walked carefully through the woods and came to a hidden mountain col.

Fang Yue built a bonfire, and the two of them sat around the fire, silently enjoying the rare tranquility.

Although the road ahead is unknown, at least at this moment, they can still feel a touch of warmth and peace.

Zhu Linlang sat quietly by the bonfire, watching the jumping firelight reflect on Fang Yue's determined face.

Her heart was filled with gratitude and respect, but also mixed with some inexplicable emotions.

She knew that her ability to escape the danger this time was all due to Fang Yue's vigorous protection.

"Brother Fang, thank you."

Zhu Linlang said softly, her voice trembling a little, obviously she was greatly touched.

Fang Yue turned his head, looked at Zhu Linlang, and smiled slightly: "Linlang, don't say that. In our relationship, we should support each other."

Zhu Linlang nodded, tears flashing in his eyes.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her excitement.

Then, she raised her head, looked at the dark night sky, and said, "Brother Fang, tell me, what will it be like when we go to Yujing City tomorrow?"

Fang Yue also looked up at the dark night sky. The stars seemed to be a guide for their future journey.

He thought for a moment, and then said gently: "Linlang, the future is always full of uncertainty, and we cannot predict what will happen tomorrow.

But no matter what challenges and difficulties we face, I believe we have the ability to overcome them. "

The next day, it was dawn, and Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were ready to set off.

They put on ordinary clothes, concealed their original facial features, and transformed into ordinary pedestrians.

After making sure that no one was following them, the two of them walked towards a small town near Gunzhou Fucheng.

This small town is called Qingshi City, named after its streets paved with bluestone slabs.

Although the city is not large, it is located on a major transportation road, so there is an endless stream of merchants and tourists coming and going, making it seem bustling and lively.

But now, the atmosphere has become tense because of the invasion of Qingshi City by the barbarian army. Most of the pedestrians on the street were in a hurry, lacking the leisurely pace of the past.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang blended into the crowd, trying not to attract others' attention. They first found an inconspicuous inn to settle down, intending to collect some information here and then plan their next move.

The innkeeper is a shrewd middle-aged man who is well-informed and has a good understanding of the recent changes in Qingshi City and Gunzhou Prefecture. Fang Yue looked for opportunities to chat with him and tried to get some news from him.

"Sir, are you two from out of town?" the shopkeeper asked while settling the accounts.

"Yes, we are here to do some small business." Fang Yue made up a reason casually, "Shopkeeper, look at the tense atmosphere in Bluestone City these days. Did something big happen?"

The shopkeeper sighed, put down the account book in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Sir, you two came at the wrong time. The barbarian army recently invaded, and there have been several battles in Gunzhou Prefecture. I heard that Han King Zhu Cunxu was also there. There are some big plans being planned secretly. Although this Bluestone City is small, it has also been affected a lot. "

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang looked at each other, secretly wary. They did not expect that even this remote Bluestone City would be involved in this dispute.

"Shopkeeper, where is the barbarian army now?" Fang Yue continued to ask.

The shopkeeper shook his head and replied: "It is difficult for people in a small place like us to know the specific information about the specific battle situation. However, I heard that the barbarian army has approached the capital of Gunzhou Prefecture, and the fighting is quite fierce."

Having said this, the shopkeeper shook his head and then continued: "However, Prince Han led the army and resisted the barbarians, so it is still peaceful now."

When Zhu Linlang heard this, she felt even more worried. She couldn't help but hold Fang Yue's arm tightly and said worriedly: "Brother Fang, my father..."

Fang Yue patted her hand gently to express comfort: "Don't worry, the King of Han is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. He will definitely have countermeasures."

Although Fang Yue said this, Zhu Linlang's worry did not diminish.

She knew that this war was crucial to her father and even the entire Wei Dynasty.

The two of them settled down in the inn with heavy worries in their hearts.

Fang Yue decided to go in person to get more information in order to understand the latest progress of the war situation.

He left the inn and walked through the streets of Qingshi City.

People on the street were talking a lot about this sudden war.

Fang Yue listened to their conversation attentively, trying to get useful information from it.

Some people say that the barbarian army is overwhelming and has conquered several cities; others praise Han King Zhu Cunxu for his bravery and skill in leading the army to resist the barbarian attack.

These messages are so complicated that it is difficult to judge whether they are true or false.

Fang Yue decided to find some more reliable sources.

He came to a teahouse in the city, where news circulated fastest.

He found a seat in a corner to sit down, ordered a pot of tea, and listened quietly to the conversations around him.

Soon, a middle-aged man in a gray robe walked over. He looked like a businessman traveling in the world.

He sat opposite Fang Yue and took the initiative to chat: "Brother, you look worried, are you also worried about this war?"

Fang Yue nodded and said, "Yes, this war is related to the safety of all of us. Who can not be worried?"

The middle-aged man sighed and said: "I heard that King Zhu Cunxu of Han personally led his army to fight. He is the backbone of our Wei Dynasty. As long as he is still on the battlefield, we still have hope. Of course, this is just me I wonder what the supervisor thinks of this?"

When he said the last sentence, he had already used sound transmission.

Fang Yue's eyes froze slightly when he heard this.

"It seems we have to change places to talk." Fang Yue smiled slightly and responded in the same way of transmitting sound into the secret.

Immediately, the two left the teahouse and came to an abandoned mansion.

"My subordinate, Inspector Si Tianjian, has met Mr. Fang."

As soon as the middle-aged man entered the mansion, he suddenly saluted Fang Yue and said.

Fang Yue was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. He looked at the middle-aged man and asked calmly: "How did you recognize me?"

The middle-aged man raised his head and replied: "Master Fang has a great reputation in Si Tianjian. Although my subordinates have never seen you in person, your deeds have already been spread to their ears. Furthermore, in the teahouse just now, Your Excellency’s concern for the war and the King of Han made my subordinates suspicious.”

Fang Yue nodded, expressing his appreciation for the middle-aged man's keen observation and judgment. He said: "Now that you have recognized me, I will no longer hide it. I came to Qingshi City this time just to understand the battle situation and find some clues. Do you know anything unusual recently?"

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, and then said: "Master Fang, to be honest, I have indeed discovered some unusual things recently. The King of Han seems to have objections."

Fang Yue raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Do you have any evidence?"

"Replying to your lord, although I have no direct evidence, there are some signs that make me deeply suspicious." The middle-aged man said with a solemn expression.

"First of all, the King of Han has been mobilizing his troops frequently recently, and the movement and deployment of the troops are extremely mysterious. Secondly, the King of Han's contacts with some people in the world and foreign merchants have become more frequent. Some people have even seen barbarian envoys interacting with the King of Han. ”

Hearing this, Fang Yue's expression became solemn, "This matter is no small matter. If the King of Han really has any objections, it will have a major impact on the entire war situation."

"Yes, sir." The middle-aged man nodded in agreement, "Moreover, I also discovered that the King of Han seems to be secretly preparing some big plan. I have no way of knowing the specific details, but I feel that once this plan is implemented, it will probably cause chaos in the world. ”

"Of course, there is no evidence for these. They are just some baseless rumors. Maybe they are just counter-measures of the barbarians."

Fang Yue took a deep breath, knowing the seriousness of this matter.

If Han King Zhu Cunxu really had objections, the entire Wei Dynasty would be in turmoil.

But if it comes down to it, it's none of his business.

Da Wei has long been riddled with holes, and he has no ability to mend them. As long as he is not offended, he will not pay too much attention.

All he wanted was a stable life.

"I see."

Fang Yue pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said to the middle-aged inspector: "The information you provided is also valuable. But at present, we do lack conclusive evidence, so we cannot act rashly.

In this way, you continue to stay in Qingshi City, pay close attention to the movements of King Han, and report to me immediately if there is any abnormality. "

The middle-aged man nodded in agreement and immediately left the abandoned mansion. (End of chapter)
