General Lu didn't know what was going on either. Looking at Gu Yuzhi's smiling face, his mind went blank for a moment, and he couldn't think straight.

Before he could even think carefully about the meaning behind Gu Yuzhi's words, he was helped up by Guard Qi and sat down in a chair. Only then did he blankly wonder, who is Tian Shu?

Why would Your Highness mention this person at this time?

The young prince calls him Brother Tian Shu, which means he's not very old...

His eyes widened suddenly. Could this person be related to the young marshal?

He turned his head stiffly to look at Gu Yuzhi, his eyes filled with disbelief!

Seeing Gu Yuzhi smiling and talking to Xie Changshi and the others with his little face in his hands, he thought to himself, maybe he should be a little bolder and guess that the little prince's "Brother Tian Shu" was the young marshal.

But the closer it got to this point, the more General Lu insisted on denying it.

He was terrified that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment...

Gu Yuzhi stared intently at General Lu with his big eyes. Seeing that he looked absent-minded, he naturally assumed that General Lu was so happy to know that his brother Tian Shu was still alive that he had gone mad.

He shook his head and muttered to himself, "Tian Shu and his whole team are coming tomorrow, so the trip to Jingxiang will have to be postponed again."

His expression was a little strange; it was hard to tell whether he was more disappointed at not being able to go to Jingxiang, or more excited about Tian Shu and the others replacing those big bad guys and returning to the military camp.

The little person sat on the chair, puffing out their cheeks and swinging their little feet, looking incredibly cute.

The atmosphere in the room, which had been somewhat somber due to General Lu's arrival, gradually warmed up thanks to the little prince's unconsciously adorable antics.

Only when Gu Yuzhi started nodding his head sleepily did everyone leave.

Tian Shu and his party arrived in Quanzhou on the evening of the second day. After entering Quanzhou, they were led by guards who had been waiting for a long time to the house that Gu Yuzhi had bought.

Indeed, Prince Gu Yuzhi stayed at the inn for two days, but he couldn't feel comfortable no matter how he stayed.

He was thinking about the money he had brought with him this time; since he had bought two medium-sized mines, there was still some left over.

The wealthy young prince immediately said he would buy a large house so that he would have a place to live whenever he came to Quanzhou.

This house belongs to none other than the owner of Li's Rice Shop in Quanzhou.

Because the house was quite large and luxuriously decorated, it remained unsold after being confiscated by Prefect Ke.

Gu Yuzhi always kept in mind Teacher Shu's words, believing that he was a prince protected by dragon energy, and that ordinary ghosts and spirits could not get close to him.

In addition, given his exceptionally lucky constitution, he had no need to fear the bad luck of having his house raided. So, after taking a quick look around, Gu Yuzhi immediately took out his money and bought it.

When Tian Shu and his group entered the city, General Lu, who was skilled in the art of mechanisms and secret passages, was searching the hidden rooms in the house.

Gu Yuzhi followed behind him excitedly, looking at him with great curiosity: "General Lu, General Lu, how did you know there was a secret room in this place?"

General Lu pointed to the room: "Generally speaking, the study is the most likely place to hide a secret room. In addition, the outer room is larger than the inner room, so we can be fairly certain that there is a secret room in this room."

The humble and eager-to-learn young prince immediately said that he had learned a lot and would write it down in his little notebook. In the future, if he saw that the inner room and the outer room were different sizes, it meant that there was a secret room.

Upon hearing this, Shu Xiaohan slowly gave Gu Yuzhi a thumbs up: "Young Prince, you know how to summarize."

As soon as she finished speaking, General Lu continued, "Your Highness, please try to pick up this vase."

Gu Yuzhi gave an "oh," stepped forward, and gently lifted it, but didn't move...

He puffed out his cheeks, snorted, and increased his strength, but still couldn't budge it...

Gu Yuzhi looked at General Lu and said aggrievedly, "General Lu, I can't pull it out."

General Lu looked at Gu Yuzhi's fluffy little head, resisting the urge to pat it, and said with a smile, "That's right, it's impossible to pull it out, because this vase is a trap."

He turned the vase to the right, and then heard a ticking sound as a mechanism started up. A crack appeared in the middle of the bookshelf in front of them.

Gu Yuzhi scratched his head, somewhat puzzled: "General Lu, General Lu, apart from this vase, everything else on this bookshelf can be moved. Wouldn't anyone know there's a secret room here just by moving it?"

The people who designed these escape rooms are a bit dim-witted.

The inner and outer rooms are different sizes; wouldn't you notice that if you paid a little attention?

This vase is completely still; isn't it practically saying to everyone, "Come on, I'm the switch to unlock this secret room!"

General Lu was initially pleased with himself for his knowledge of secret chambers and his ability to teach the young prince privately, but he never expected to be so quickly proven wrong. What a miscalculation...

General Lu stood there, while the others in the study couldn't help but chuckle, but out of consideration for General Lu's feelings, they gritted their teeth and didn't let themselves laugh out loud.

Manager Wen frantically waved his fan, occasionally covering his face to hide his laughing face.

Teacher Shu was different; she even laughed so hard she made a goose-like sound!

Everyone had the same thought: His Highness was right, absolutely right!

When Tian Shu and the others arrived at the study door, they saw Xie Changshi and the others shrugging their shoulders and occasionally making a fist and pressing it to their mouths to cough lightly.

They were completely bewildered, but still stepped into the study: "This humble one is Tian Shu..."

"Tianquan..."

"Greetings, Your Highness Prince Wen."

Gu Yuzhi turned to look at them, his large eyes filled with confusion.

Upon seeing Tian Shu, he rushed forward to help him up, eager to share what had just happened, pouting as he asked, "Brother Tian Shu, am I wrong?"

Tian Shu hadn't expected the atmosphere in Quanzhou to be like this upon his arrival.

He was momentarily at a loss for words, saying, "Of course Your Highness is right."

General Lu originally intended to find a slightly more difficult secret room to save face, but unexpectedly he saw Tian Shu as soon as he looked up.

His pupils dilated, his mouth opened slightly, and all the muscles in his body trembled slightly. He dared not blink, for fear that if he blinked, the person in front of him who seemed like an old friend would suddenly disappear.

Gu Yuzhi, pleased with the affirmative answer, shook Tian Shu's hand and dragged him to General Lu's side, blinking his eyes as he said, "Chief Secretary Xie said that General Lu used to be a member of the Huo family army. Quickly check if you recognize him!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Shu looked at General Lu. Seeing that the man's eyes were red, he gave a faint smile and said, "Mu Chen, it's been a long time!"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, General Lu's body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud. His eyes were so red they looked like they could bleed, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "Young Marshal!"
