The small quarrel in the room next door turned quiet, but it caused ripples in my heart that was originally pretending to be calm.
Knocked on the wall separated from Gu Yue.
"Gu Yue, have you fallen asleep?"
"What are your orders, Master?"
Gu Yue's voice sounded alertly from next door.
"Come here for a moment."
Gu Yue didn't dare to knock on the door for a moment.
"Come in."
"What are your orders, Master?"
Gu Yue was neatly dressed. He slept with his clothes on because he was worried about something unexpected happening at night, and did not dare to sleep too deeply. Therefore, although he looked tired, he was still energetic.
After witnessing the poor sound insulation effect, I just asked Gu to sit across from me and write down my thoughts with pen and ink.
He wrote a letter quickly and handed it into Gu Yue's hand.
On another blank piece of paper, it was written - Find a way to give it to Situ Quan, the Prime Minister of your country.
"But……"
I put my index finger lightly on my mouth, making a "shush" gesture, and looked sideways at the wall on the right, indicating that Gu Yue had ears across the wall.
Gu Yue also picked up the brush and wrote on the paper.
"If I leave, who will protect you?"
"You take ten people away, and the rest can take care of me secretly. I'm dressed like this and can go alone. It won't be too dangerous for the time being. This is an order."
If it weren't for the seriousness of the questions the two exchanged on paper, I would have mistaken them for the playful behavior of making pen pals when I was a child.
Gu Yue was very reluctant, but he had to obey when I asked me to use the word "command".
To avoid a long night and many dreams, he set off overnight. Although I felt sorry for his body, for the sake of Yelu Zihan's safety, I hated myself for not letting him rest for a night before leaving.
After Gu Yue left, I stayed up all night, leaning against the window. It wasn't until daybreak that the dazzling light shone into my room, hurting my eyes, and then I hurriedly left the inn with my luggage.
I packed some dry food at the inn, went to the drugstore to buy some gold sore medicine, and asked about the route to Beiqiong Bay along the way.
As I walked along exploring, it was so quiet that it felt strange, like it was the eve of a storm. Just when I was about to reach Beiqiong Bay, I stopped in my tracks.
It stands to reason that Beiqiong Bay is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but the Southern Barbarians will not let the emperor Yelu Zihan be trapped here and wait for trouble.
In the end, it would drag him to death. How could I not have any obstacles on my way to Beiqiong Bay?
Unusual, definitely not that simple.
When I thought of this, I quickly turned around and walked back quickly. Before I could take two steps, someone in strange clothes blocked my way.
It was so dark that there were probably about a hundred people there. The sheer momentum could have crushed me to death.
The land of the Southern Barbarians is near the sea. The people who stopped me all had their skin darkened and chapped by the sea breeze. Although they were not tall and tall, all of them had very strong muscles.
Each man held a weapon in his hand and formed a circle to surround me.
"You weren't going to enter Beiqiong Bay, so why did you turn around and ask, what is your relationship with Yelu Zihan?"
A person who seemed to be in the lead asked the question first.
"I...I don't know what you are talking about."
The hand holding the baggage tightened, refusing to acknowledge it.
"You carried a bunch of dry food and medicinal materials. I really don't believe you when you tell me that you are not here to help the emperor who is in trouble."
"I really don't know anything."
He timidly took two steps back.
The man who seemed to be the leader was impatient. Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of me, he gave the order.
