The Emperor was stunned for a moment before he quickly opened the memorial and read it. When he finished reading the more than three-foot-long memorial, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
He did not expect King Hui to have such a trump card still. If Gu Chengrui had not discovered it in time, there would have been a big upheaval in the Great Ming Dynasty in the future.
Especially the weapons on the note, which were enough to equip a hundred thousand soldiers. Just thinking about it made him scared.
After hesitating for a moment, he summoned Zhou Huaiming and King Xian into the palace overnight and told them about the matter. “This matter is of great importance. You will set off overnight.
“Imperial Uncle, you and Zeheng will be in the open and Huaining in the dark. You must bring the people and weapons from Qianzhou Province to me.”
“Yes.” The two of them replied.
“What about the bandits on the mountain?” King Xian raised his head and asked. “Should we recruit them as Lord Gu suggested, or should we disband them?”
“Since Gu Chengrui has already infiltrated the bandits, let him handle this matter. When there are results, I will ask him to look for you.”
“Alright, but it’s best to recruit them. If we disband those people, I’m afraid it will harm the people further.”
“Mhm, I’ll try my best.” The Emperor nodded and handed a gold medal to King Xian. “Use this to mobilize the army nearby if you need it.”
“Thank you, Your Highness.” The Sage King nodded.
“You too.” The Emperor nodded and looked at Zhou Huaiming.
Zhou Huaiming nodded. However, he knew that the soldiers he would be able to command were different from King Xian. The Emperor was referring to their own informants and secret guards.
In the end, the Emperor emphasized, “You must ensure Gu Chengrui’s safety on this trip.”.
“Yes.” The two of them responded and left the palace in a hurry.
After leaving the palace, Zhou Huaiming said to King Xian, “Your Highness, let’s split up. I’ll go by water first and quietly. You can go by land. When they get the news and panic, it’ll be the best time to catch them.”
The Sage King nodded in agreement. “Alright, but it’s not good to be too early. I’ll release the news a day earlier.”
“Alright, then I’ll take my leave first.” Zhou Huaiming nodded, returned to his residence, and gave Mingyu some instructions. Then, he ordered two teams of 20 guards to set off overnight.
King Xian, on the other hand, dawdled for a while. He ordered hundreds of guards to quietly march forward, and the father and son brought ten bodyguards with them to leave the capital before dawn.
On the other end, the Emperor wrote a letter to Gu Chengrui overnight. He looked around and asked tentatively, “Mother God, are you still there? Can you help me send another message?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the letter disappeared into thin air.
“Thank you, Mother God.” The Emperor was startled and quickly bowed.
Zhou Ying was secretly happy to see this, but she did not reply.
After taking the letter, she glanced at Gu Chengrui and saw that he was still awake, so she gave him the letter.
Gu Chengrui quickly finished reading and kissed his Mother God statue. “Thank you, babe. Sleep early.”
When Zhou Ying saw this, she poked him in the mouth before retreating.
Gu Chengrui touched his lips, which seemed to have been stung by a hornet, and smiled.
He hid the letter in his cotton coat and went to sleep.
The next morning, when he woke up, he discovered that Tiger had been busy most of the night.
He had thoroughly cleaned up the stronghold. The remaining people in the small stronghold where Master Liu and the others were previously were also under his command.
“Lord Gu,” Tiger asked after breakfast, “when are you leaving? I’ll send someone to escort you all the way to Qianzhou Province.”
“We’ll set off in a while. Brother Tiger, there’s something I don’t know if I should say.” Gu Chengrui hesitated..
