The sky finally dawned.

Gu Chengfeng was sitting on the boat, feeling extremely depressed.

Taoist Master Xingyue and Prince Ping have indeed kept their word, and there are no pursuers behind them. With Taoist Master Xingyue helping them, it is impossible to assassinate Prince Ping.

He was a little disheartened.

I went down the mountain full of ambitions, wanting to follow King 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.

Amazing, how easy is it to unify the world? But if he returns to Prince Jing's Mansion without completing the task this time, he can'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 that he has no face to return to Prince Jing's Mansion, it is better to go back to Tianshan first and then make plans for the future.

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 the Tianshan Mountains. 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!"

The road to Tianshan Mountain is far away, and Gu Chengfeng thought that the boatman could not go 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. Gu Chengfeng gave him fifty taels of silver for this trip, which was enough for him to have 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 ball of paper. 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 plotting to murder 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 the south of the Yangtze River. Unexpectedly, they were coming.

They turned their troops in the middle and pointed directly at Xiangyang City.

The actual situation is that before daybreak, troops have already been deployed on the other side of Xiangyang City, and they are still sending the book of conquest with strong soldiers.

"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 events were not expected, he has already prepared for them. 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.
